Easiest solution is @@latex:\response{blah blah}@@ but that will lose you
all the org formatting.  Longer solution is to use environments, such as

#+begin_response
blah blah blah
#+end_response

and define a "response" LaTeX environment, along these lines:

#+latex_header: \makeatletter\newenvironment{response}{\textcolor{red}}{}\makeatother

(untested)
