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.
