Far From Reconciliation
I recently began reading a book titled "The Rigoberta Menchu controversy" by David Stoll.......a revisionist and loser. Remember, Marx, Che, Mao, Lenin warned us of these people. The book attacks the authenticity of a testimony by a Mayan women from Guatemala who spoke out against the repressive brutality of the Guatemalan government sponsored by: born again Christians, anti-communists, U.S. sponsored weapons, and belligerent bourgeoisie citizens from the early 1960s-1990. You see, like in most revolutionary cases in Central America during this era the peasants and the proletariat finally said fuck you to the existing political system and rose up in arms. David Stoll however makes it his life time goal to research the authenticity of the testimony and concludes that most of the stories told by Ms. Menchu were fabricated. No only has this manipulative intellectual insulted people who lost entire families during these repressive years, but he has also made himself out to be a complete ass. Why? First, of all he interviewed people who resented the Menchu family. Second of all, who in their right mind would argue that Ms. Menhu's father and brothers were not burned alive, instead they had been executed and thrown into a mass grave. Yeah, that sounds better. Asshole.....

Wow, that's obscene. Sounds a little like the work of someone else we all know...ahem.
the anger has put a hole in the middle of my laptop screen. He definitely sounds like an ass.
and who is this someone that we all know and I don't? I know I'm only a weenie socialist democrat (we're the ones providing tea and cookies for the real revolutionaries), but I feel left out of the party. ;)
I don't name names! Torture me all you want! OK, it's someone from where we all spent two years...someone who undermines the people's heroes in his work? That's all you get.
You mean that someone who moonlights with tobacco companies while doing research on ethnic minorities...?
You have totally cracked my ingenious code...I can't imagine why he would be memorable to you in any way?
Who else could be so idiotic? Besides, I still suffer periodic bouts of ptsd when it comes to the slimeball and corporal hustler.
I love these names! Since I don't know which is which, I'll just guess. Thanks for the hints... :) For some reason, I was thinking it was some theory person that I ought to know and never bothered learning about.
