[Peace-discuss] Re: Fahrenheit 9/11 notes

[C. G. Estabrook]

I certainly wouldn't suggest that Moore's views are above criticism,
Robert, for all his movie seems to be liked and disliked by all the right
people...

Far too many self-styled liberals were indulgent toward the Clintons -- a
self-professed Marxist economist got upset with me recently when I opined
that it would have been a good thing if Clinton had been convicted and
removed from office -- and the Wesley Clark episode should be hard for
him to explain.

I lived in Massachusetts for a long time and watched the resistible rise
of John Kerry, whom I despise. Living in Illinois, I'll vote for Nader or
Cobb -- but if I lived in say, Ohio, I'd vote for Kerry, because this
administration needs to be repudiated. I'd hate to see them actually
elected to office.

Best, Carl
