<HTML>Sigh.  There is a small contingent of student activists here.  A student here who is in contact with an activist in New York told me that this activist had recently attended a Dead Prez concert.  Dead Prez typically does a lot of dialogue with the crowd on activism during their concerts.  At that concert, someone accused ANSWER of pointing the cops toward breakaway protesters.  Carrol, fuck you.  If you want to accuse me of lying or spreading rumors, drag your sorry, pathetic frame out here to Laramie and have the courage to do it to my face.  I routinely defend trotskyist groups and even groups like the SWP from the very same charges some people are making against ANSWER.  I take some very unpopular positions and catch a lot of shit for it.  I was asking a question that had been asked of me, nothing more.  Take your paranoia and shove it up your useless, reactionary, burned-out, irrelevant ass. Calling someone an agent, which is what you're basically calling me, is pretty much raising the stakes about as far as they can go.  Do you really want to do that?  Because I have taken too much crap, been beat up too many times, been rejected by friends and family, for being a socialist in the conservative rocky mountains.  How dare you.  Drop dead, you pathetic piece of shit. stannard In a message dated 2/5/2003 10:17:47 PM Mountain Standard Time, cbcox@ilstu.edu writes: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">Doug Henwood wrote: > > Stannard67@aol.com wrote: > > >It is certainly not a deliberate lie on my part.  I am in Wyoming > >and have no experience with ANSWER other than reading their > >literature.  The question was asked by one of my students.

Our debate over questions is not wholly relevant here. Any idiot who has ever had experience with how rumors are spread or initiated knows that it is in the form of honest naive questions. Stannard's answer pretty much convinces me that he is lying. Carrol</BLOCKQUOTE> </HTML>
