“If you get kicked out of the LDS organization, then you automatically become an ANTI; thereby insuring that ANY thing you say negative about the Organization can then be dismissed by the Truly Faithful - Viola! - damage control is in place and functioning.”

Keep in mind that in this case, as in the case of any excommunication from the LDS Church, the only side you will hear is that of the excommunicated person. The LDS Church regards excommunication proceedings as confidential and never makes public their side of the issue. That leaves the excommunicant free to say whatever he or she desires, and no response from the Church will ever be forthcoming.
Every issue has two sides, and in this case you will only hear one.
The Mormon church is publicly announcing his excommunication. How can you claim there is only on side being presented? Could it be that his allegations about Mormonism are true. If they are false, surely the church could refute them.
And we're still hearing only Lamborn's side of it. I guess that is too fine a point for some to realize. The leaders will neither confirm nor deny this, like you said, the leaders in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have an obligation to keep the information about excommunications private. Lamborn must really have been leading people astray, I've never heard of a letter being read in all the wards in a stake. In fact, I've never heard a letter read in Relief Society concerning excommunication.
