Antiwar activists are gearing up for a march on Washington Saturday, the latest for a global peace movement that has mobilized with increasing frequency as the nation prepares for a war with Iraq.
(snip)
The ANSWER coalition has drawn the ire of critics, some of whom contend it is a front group for the socialist Workers World Party, of which Becker and others in ANSWER are members. Kristinn Taylor, 40, co-leader of the D.C. chapter of the conservative group Free Republic, which plans a counter-demonstration Saturday, described ANSWER as pro-Saddam and anti-American. "There's strong overtones of anti-Semitism at their rallies, and the organizers themselves support violent communist revolution," Taylor said.
Becker said such attacks are without merit and said ANSWER is not a political supporter of the Iraqi government. "Antiwar activists care about stopping this war. There is no political or ideological litmus test," he said.

Thanks for the post. At least Manny did manage to "squeeze" a mention of our counterprotest in and a good quote from Kristinn.

Thanks. We've been out on the street for all but one of their marches in the past year-and-a-half. We'll be out there this Saturday shining the light of truth on their lies once again.

"Some critics" call ANSWER for the Communist front that it is.
Is that the best they can do? Jeez, what do they teach in "journalism" school nowadays? Certainly to ignore the klaxons....

Hey Kristinn good luck on Saturday!
A lunchtime rally sponsored by a local talk station here in Cincinnati drew 2500 today! I wish the local stations would help you out down there, maybe you wouldn't have to work so hard.
