Anti-Answer Protester

An impressive post about the political damages brought on by International ANSWER during the recent war rally.

According to people who attended, the overwhelming majority were there for the singular cause of opposing the Iraq war. They came from all walks of life, and undoubtedly different political backgrounds: liberals, progressives, moderates and even some conservatives. By all reports, the crowd was far more mainstream then one normally expect at a protest rally.

But what did Americans watching the ANSWER stage see from their living rooms? Well, after studying the footage from my Tivo recording, I would liken it to militant, Marxist-Leninist rally.

    You left out Trotskyists. They would be offended by Leninist.

    All six of them.

    Awake…I’m so glad you see the evil in A.N.S.W.E.R. I was alarmed a few years back, when they kept organizing large rallys (complete with the Black Bloc and precision violence groups) but the majority of people said “oh who cares, they’re okay”. . It’s nice to see that people are waking up to the silent agenda of these guys. They are up to no good,….a wolf in sheeps clothing?

    If anyone wants to find out how successful this role model is, spend a fun vacation in North Korea. Bring your own food.

    However, movements such as these only get traction when people perceive gross injustice and gross economic and political inequities. This should be a wakeup call for the neocons. The farther you swing the pendulum to the right, the farther it travels to the left.

    Nope, Martin, you said it first…so now we know where your real preoccupation lies. Guess you’re propping up Bush’s rear?
