on truth versus sophism re: hanoi noam

[brad]

well i think we're a lot closer to the truth now than when we started, eh?

btw i think youre correct about provocateurs or 'fifth columnists' in peace movement but of course they are small and provocateurs of course are US govmt assets.

but almost all in say couple hundred thousand march are decent americans.

from my understanding david horowitz doesnt agree with what ive just said.

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/horantiwar.html

'The agendas of the so-called "peace movement" are pro-Communist and anti-American. Its organizers have worked with America's enemies in the past and are continuing to do so in the midst of this war. This is the very definition of a political "fifth column." Honest dissenters and Americans concerned about the future of their country should take a hard look at these protests and those who support them.'

it looks like he may be technically right but propaganda in the sense that if you think his agenda is to discredit the entire peace movement then its propaganda.

also note he doesnt say anything about govmt provocateurs a la wto seattle demonstrations.
