[edit] WTO and arrests

Benjamin disputes the statement that she wanted anyone arrested here. Kellen ^T 17:46, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism by Horowitz

I understand the validity of mentioning David Horowitz's criticism of Benjamin. However, since Horowitz makes it his job to accuse virtually all leftists as being Communist sympathizers, I wonder how one makes a determination to include his criticisms and at what length? Does he get a nice long paragraph in the entry for every prominent proponent of universal health care, lifting the embargo on Cuba or ending the US occupation of Iraq?

We need some representative criticism of her from the right. If we could get a better source than Horowitz, that would be great, for the reasons you mention. But a quick google doesn't turn anything else up. Unfortunately, since Horowitz maintains DiscoverTheNetwork and FrontPageMag to criticize specific leftists, he's often the only rightwinger with any specific criticisms of people or organizations, at least online.
