To Ryan Anderson O' Donnell as well and conservatives in support of this:

Now, i worked with the organization ANSWER. I helped them organize protests. There were some things I found questionable about them. Some of the things they say I find unfair and truth distorting. They also serve up propaganda to the public, calling Bush a "racist" and whatever else. It is a disservice to ignore the truth that Saddam Hussein, as far as I know, is an oppressive dictator who has done hardly anything to alleviate the suffering of his people, and if anything, has done them a complete and undeserving disservice. Still, from a legal perspective, the war is unjust and illegal. But getting back to ANSWER, yes, I must say they are not always objective. However, I have worked with these people, and I can honestly say that they are not "jew-haters" as you are trying to portray them to your supporters. I think that is so cheap and irresponsible to say these things. ANSWER has some very kind people who are passionate about their beliefs as you are, and very much care about this country, like yourself. If they did not, they wouldn't participate in politics. There wouldn't be such an organization. The only difference is that they have a different political platform. Let's not let our differences motivate us to slander one another. Two different sides with the same commitment, just going about it differently. If you really feel like you have an argument then you can support it with verifiable information. If you have a clear and concise basis, your views will prevail without having to personally insult someone or a specific group of people with an opposing viewpoint.

Nobody in ANSWER said anything that would have given me the impression they hated Jewish people. But a lot of them are against the oppression of Palestinians by the Israeli government. So they disagree with that government's policy towards the Palestinians. But it is nothing against Jewish people. Keep them out of it. It is about politics. They are peace-loving people and do not want to see anyone hurt. Their hearts are in the right place, even if they turn out to be wrong in the eyes of some people, people like yourselves. It is your right to disagree with their position on this issue. It is not your right to call them names that are misleading.
