Everyone is free to do so, and many have done so already and will do so in the future as well, some wisely, others unwisely as in the case of Michael Lerner, David Corn, & Marc Cooper.

Rabbi Lerner is entitled to his opinion and he can air it where he wants to (as he has), but _none_ of the coalitions involved -- ANSWER, NION, and UfPJ -- is _obligated_ (by law or morality or political expediency) to invite him to publicize his opinion from the podium as one of the speakers at any of the rallies that they organize. -- Yoshie
