Guys, ANSWER is an ugly beast, and they're spreading like the plauge. Remember, they were the major funding source for the May 1st protests. They're a radical, communist, hateful group with major funding.
I'm an officer in my university's Collge Republicans club. During the spring quarter we ran a poster stating "Illegal immigrants are criminals" with the infamous "pedestrians crossing" sign that's all around San Diego. We were openly called racist (the usual song), even though I myself am an immigrant (a LEGAL immigrant). Our letters to the editor of the uni's news paper explaining our position were never published. We also received a response that ANSWER will start it's own chapter on campus. Let me give you a couple of quotes from the e-mail:

"It is my intention to create an anti-war, anti-imperialist, and anti-racist movement at Cal Poly Pomona. You may have heard of the ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) and now this vital organization will come to Pomona with the great leadership and skills of the masses. It is my goal to inform the truth about the ravages of capitalism and the destruction that US imperialism sets forth worldwide."

" ... The next goal is, of course, support among youth and students. Things like military recruiters, racism, war, anti-labor sentiment, homophobia, sexism, and other forms of bigotry will be our base of focus. This group will not be the typical passive organization, this group will talk and make a lot of noise and take a lot of action. "

"...this group will support AMNESTY FOR ALL IMMIGRANTS. We will support full rights for all these workers and will fight for a different world, as Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez talk about. So, don't be surprised of this new change at Cal Poly. We will be ready to spread the struggle and challenge the reactionary and conservative elements, in particular, the College Republicans. "

"Things like military recruiters, racism, war, anti-labor sentiment, homophobia, sexism, and other forms of bigotry will be our base of focus."

So military recruitment and anti-union sentiment is now "bigotry". Hilarious if it wasn't so scary.

and they support illegal immigration as does a whole lot of other supposed conservatives. I feel like I've entered a twilight zone.
