The author seems to be suggesting that we should view the Times' editorial board as composed of a bunch of adolescent Commie queers

I find some of the preceding statement to be rather harsh.

May I suggest that you use "cadre" in place of "bunch"? ;)

I agree.

"Cadre" would be far more appropriate than "bunch".

After all, that IS what Lenin and Trotsky called such people...
