Let's also be clear that Lerner's bashing of ANSWER is based on the fact 
that they are communists. Pure red-baiting is what underlies his 
ego-centric posturing. Why the hell should they invite him to speak? Why 
the hell should we support a red-baiter.

Also, my apologies for sending the piece around before I read all my 
outstanding LBO's.
