<P>> As I've noted, my own organization the<BR>National Lawyers Guild is about to declare any criticism of ANSWER "red<BR>baiting" and are debating whether to demand that all local chapters and<BR>leaders fall into line and drop all criticism of ANSWER. That means me,<BR>specifically, although it applies more generally to the New York City<BR>chapter which refused to endorse ANSWER events, except for an exception made<BR>for the October rallies in DC.<BR><BR>That this is even being debated in the NLG just reflects the reverse<BR>McCarthyism involved in charges of "red baiting." HUAC is not currently<BR>meeting and state-sponsoring repression is not going after Communists, but<BR>speakers or members of left organizations are being told that their<BR>dissenting speech on ANSWER is unacceptable, that to remain a member or be<BR>allowed to speak, they must repudiate those views or at least remain silent.<BR></P>
