As much as I despise ANSWER, they of course should be protected by the
bourgeois liberal freedom of speech and assembly laws that they would
dispense of were they ever to grab state power. But, thankfully, the ANSWER
crowd is so far out of touch with the very workers they claim to champion
that they are forever doomed to be a bus service for meaningless rallies.
Don't think the FBI is too concerned with them (the Feds are focusing on
anarchist groups). But it won't stop ANSWER from inflating their political
importance.
