I don't see any red-baiting here. Perhaps you are confusing open debate about organizations in our movements with the variety of red-baiting practiced by right wingers and liberal pundits. There is nothing wrong with us talking about ANSWER or UFPJ in the context of the left and activism. My relating the facts about ANSWER's origins is not red-baiting, it's a discussion of ANSWER's role in activism.
Unless you simply think that activists shouldn't criticze other activists?
