"Newman's understanding of the political leanings of these groups, he said, was founded upon their publications, public stances, business connections and from his experience of the Guild doing legal work for them. To those who questioned his characterizing of ANSWER as a front group for the WWP, Newman responded, "I've worked with the WWP in various coalitions. You may not know how front groups work, but when the website was created by, the office is run by, and the main spokespeople are all from a single group like the Workers World Party, it is fair to characterize the group as being derived from that group." He added, "And as a member of the leadership of the National Lawyers Guild, which has endorsed ANSWER – against my vote – and who has key people doing their legal work, I know pretty well the role of the WWP in organizing this stuff. If the main group leading ANSWER supports mass murderers," Newman concluded, "those working with them have some responsibility for disassociating themselves from those views."
