-...he's basically agreeing with you, though he's a bit less given to
-blunt statements of position than you are, Chuck. I know from having

Absolutely-- anything David says I take seriously as an honest view of the
factual situation.

I've been embroiled on the National Lawyers Guild board with debates over the
NLG's endorsement of the ANSWER rally, since the New York chapter of the NLG
specifically voted against endorsing ANSWER events because of various aspects
of the IAC's politics and practice.

I disagree with David on his "can't we all get along" position on ANSWER,
since almost the whole democratic left is together in the A20 coalition and
giving ANSWER status just perpetuates their undermining of real unity and the
promotion of politics that alienates large numbers of people from antiwar
positions.
