Labor union think tank economist Max Sawicky (or someone pretending to be him) posted this comment about me in a Left Business Observer message board discussion about the Robert Scheer Canard-o-matic
this guy is a Likud fascist. For some reason he harrasses me periodically. He also goes to demos and takes pictures of participants. I wouldn't take any statement by him at face valueI am not a "Likudnik" -- I am not an Israeli and I do not take sides in Israeli politics. I am not a fascist (and I suspect very few actual Likud supporters are fascists). The correct spelling of "harrasses" is "harasses", but I don't harass Max. In the past year I've left a handful of critical comments on his blog and written about him on my blog maybe a half dozen times. I went to a demo and took pictures of some participants exactly once. It was for the purpose of telling the story of the demonstration on the blog. The San Francisco Chronicle, for example, does the same thing on a regular basis. It's called "reporting". You don't have to take my criticism of Robert Scheer at face value. All you have to do is read Scheer's columns for yourself. I've merely pointed out some specific examples of his writing to go look at.
Yet another example of articulate discourse from one of the leading public intellectuals of the American progressive left.

It's a measure that you are having some impact.
Well, does your attacking someone's 'harrass' make you harass, also? I think you misjudged him - he was just being "harrass-whole."
