----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Brown" <cbrown at michiganlegal.org> -"Take a chance" means have a rhetorical position , not really do anything. -That's why the issues of China and N.Korea were in no way a reason not to -follow ANSWER's fine lead in the weekend's fantastically successful -demonstration. China and N.Korea are redbaiting , anti-communist diversions -when it comes to joining ANSWER in the anti-war efforts.

Charges of red-baiting are to the left what charges of treason and subversion are to the rightwing, just a way to clamp down on disagreements over substantive politics.

But I'm very happy that there has been an explosion of attacks on ANSWER's role in the antiwar movement in the wake of Saturday's rallies.
