To the editor:

Christine Flowers (Opinion, 5/22) has reached back into her bag of right
wing myths. Bob Casey was denied the right to speak after Bill Clinton's
nomination because he refused to endorse the candidate and to work for
his election. Four other anti-abortion spokesmen were allowed to speak
at the convention, but had endorsed Clinton, and pledged to support the
campaign despite their misgivings. Democrats, like Republicans, are
entitled to exercise party discipline. The right-wing media apparently
think Democrats are so stupid they will allow people to speak at their
expense at the convention to undermine their image with the public.
Flowers is barking up the wrong tree.
