The problem is that ANSWER types attack any criticism
of them as "red-baiting," even as they constantly try
to seize control of any group of lefties they work
with. The ones around here in CT are so inept it's
laughable, but in other places I can imagine they are
quite toxic.

When I was in a progressive third party in Hartford
ten plus years ago, it was a constant struggle to keep
the Bonkerists from taking over. One time the CPUSA
ran a covert, fierce gay bashing campaign against one
of us.  When we called them on it, they said we were
"red-baiting" them. Unbelievable.
