[lbo-talk] right-wing hit on LF

[Steven Gotzler]

I have mentions of the National Lawyers Guild on a Google.com daily alert. 
Strange as it may seem, this little paper in western PA accounts for about 
4% of all the media mentions of the Guild in the last year.  The Guild 
doesn't even have an active chapter around there.

I guess the NLG is an easy target for them?
