Letter to the WSWS Editorial Board

To the editor:

We are writing to protest the publication of the following letter on the WSWS on Nov. 8:

Good job! Steiner and Co. will soon enough be urging on the fascistic buffoons at the Sarah Palin rallies, all in the name of irrationality and "sexuality."

This is a vile and inflammatory slander. The WSWS editorial board bears a direct responsibility here: it controls which letters are posted and which aren’t. The decision to post this letter means either that the editorial board condones this slander or at the very least considers it reasonable commentary. To broadcast slanders like this is to besmirch the name of Trotskyism. We demand that the editorial board publicly dissociate itself from this slander.
