What is your take on the recent criticisms leveled against the WWP and ANSWER by Christopher Hitchens, Marc Cooper, Todd Gitlin, and David Corn?
It shouldn’t surprise any veteran activist that Left writers are finally writing critically about the WWP and ANSWER. To a great extent, this kind of open criticism should be commonplace on the Left, but the extent to which leftists have knee-jerked to the critics shows something about the authoritarian head-in-the-sand thinking practiced by some activists. Much of what these writers have written is on target, but the fact that these writers engage in some cheap shots should not blind people to the fact that many activists are critical of the WWP and ANSWER’s role in social change movements. Don’t dismiss the message because the messengers are imperfect.
