If ANSWER is showing up uninvited at OTHERS protests, how are they getting the stage? Who's in charge? If everything is so lax that anyone from the crowd can get up and monopolize the mic's for an hour or two or more, well i guess i'll try it next time and see what happens. Be on the lookout for a guy hoggin' the mic talking about how everyone should donate some money to make a house payment, cause that'll be me. And do you know whose fault it will be if i succeed? The organizers of the event! Sure, I'm the asshole, but they let me get by with it.

If ANSWER is in the business of strongarming event organizers, why haven't they done it to Cindy Sheehan? Why didn't they do it at the event i helped organize a few years ago (besides the fact i'm a loser and they never even heard of the event)? Because they don't. They might be assholes, boring, COINTELPRO, opportunistic, pushy to the point of being a bully...but if you let yourself be bullied it is still your fault.

on edit: and if you let them bully you into letting them organize the event, then it becomes an ANSWER protest, and from that point on you are at their party, not them at yours.
