Martin Crim feels that I have insulted (or at the least misrepresented) Barbara Ehrenreich by calling her a socialist-feminist. He writes: Progressive, yeah. Liberal, OK. Left-leaning, even. But socialist? She writes a regular column for either Time or Newsweek (can never keep the two of them straight), fer crying out loud.

Well, Martin, she has been a co-chair of Democratic Socialists of America for more than a decade. Alexander Coburn, whose politics are considerably more leftist than hers, once wrote a regular column for The Wall Street Journal, for God's sakes!

How do i know about Barbara's political activities? I am a Vice-Chair of DSA myself! Jim Chapin
