re: #613 Freeze Peach

A very sad piece. Hearkens back to the support of Stalin among some individuals in 1930s-1950s. Not quite as bad, but the same vector.

I thought it was very interesting. At least the lefties and the Stalinists had a bit of shared ideology. She’s shilling for a theocracy and seems to be willing to become a useful idiot of sorts. Even more interesting is her statements about some of her fellow academics who happened to be iranian encouraging her to go. The Iranian government seems mostly interesting in encouraging the anti-war sentiment in OWS. It does set up the possibility that they could be using the movement in an attempt to sway public opinion here in America. I suspect that this could lead to problems if the alliance between Iran and OWS becomes too cozy.
