[lbo-talk] ANSWER up to same old dirty tricks

[Chuck0]

ANSWER supporters (the few that still exist) will no doubt be angry with 
me for posting this, but a friendly source in New York City tells me 
that ANSWER was up to their usual dirty, divisive tactics in the lead up 
to Saturday's demo. UFPJ made a big stink about the police plans to pen 
all protesters in, correctly drawing attention to a totalitarian tactic 
that has no place in a democracy. But ANSWER butted heads with UFPJ off 
stage, because ANSWER didn't want anybody to make a big stink about the 
plans for protest pens. As some of you know, ANSWER never met a protest 
pen they didn't like, so this is in keeping with their long history of 
cooperation with the police. What's more annoying is the news that 
ANSWER threatened to pull out of their "cooperation" with UFPJ if UFPJ 
didn't drop their opposition to the protest pens.

So who is really being divisive? A protest "coalition" that threatens 
another coalition behind closed doors, or us activists who call ANSWER 
on their ineffective tactics and lack of strategy?
