Emanuel Plays Bukharin To Lieberman’s Trotsky
Tom Bevan notes the continuation of the Stalinization of the Nutroots®:
Excuse me while I wipe down my computer keyboard. I spit Diet Coke all over it after reading [Matt] Stoller, of all people, fingering Rahm Emanuel an “extremist ideologue.” This is the sort of stuff that should scare sensible Democrats out of their minds. Rahm is a centrist. He’s a Clintonite. Six years ago years ago that wasn’t a sin. Now to a growing portion of the party, it’s grounds for excommunication. Apparently, unless you’ve taken a heavy pull from the nutroot Kool-Aid, you’re not welcome or wanted.
Who will play the roles of Kirov and Zinoviev? Stay tuned…
You took Russian History in college, didn’t you?
No, just read way too many books on the Stalin Terror years (fascinatingly lurid stuff)…
