While I generally agree David Steven analysis of the Workers Vanguard's
playing off of HUAC language over the border of this recent letter to their
paper...   

What do you expect from the Workers Slanguard.   One has to be a dedicated

have a rather pristine reputation for honesty.

Indeed among the things they have done, this isn't much

Fraternally
Brown Generic Trotskyist League 40%


PS...Note that similar language was used in the Norden Purge...
