It's not a question of legality, but of tactics. To deny a very prominent anti-war lefty like Lerner the chance to speak at an anti-war rally is lunacy. Perhaps ANSWER cares more about controlling the anti-war movement than it does about building the broadest anti-war movement possible?

--Luke, if the argument Cooper et al made were that, well, there might be something to it. in fact that is the argument that max has consistently made. I'm not entirely convinced by it, but at least he doesn't resort to the 'banning' and 'first admendment' non-issues. cooper and corn have an axe to grind, this has little to do with objecitons to tactics, it's just one more method of dividing the anti-war movement.
