Well, well, well ... A.N.S.W.E.R. does seem to be quite the group. I didn't realize Vietnam Veterans Against the War still existed, and had no idea anyone still talked about Leonard Peltier or Mumia Abu-Jamal. I really didn't know that those sort of folks were still around - but since the Klan and the American Nazis ain't gone, and the Birchers seem to have become mainstream Republicans, it doesn't come as a terrible suprise.

"Not in My Name" does seem to be cut from somewhat the same cloth, even if quite not so far to the left of the bolt.

Which of course, proves NOTHING. That the strident wackos of the lunatic left and the limosine liberals like Asner and Baez are against the war isn't exactly startling news. That their names appeared as organizers of the antiwar marches is even less suprising. That does not mean that the entire antiwar movement consists of communists and socialists and whatever the hell other kind of wackos people those groups.

Torone, in the 1940s and 1950s - years before it became popular - the Communist Party of the United States was active in issues of racial justice. Does that mean that the civil rights movement was a communist plot? Some of the most violent militia groups are very strident defenders of the 2nd Ammendment - are all opponents of gun control militia members? It fits your logic, does it not? I saw on the news the other day where the good old KKK wants to hold a rally in Augusta during the Masters Golf Tourney to support the club's right to exclude women - does that mean that the KKK is behind the Master's stance?

Name calling? Bud, if you think being called a moron is worse than being accused of being a communist or of being considered unpatriotic, I can understand why you are offended - but I don't see much difference. Liberals and communists sometimes take the same positions on things - that does not mean that liberals ARE communists. Conservatives and facists sometimes take the same position on things - that does not mean conservatives are facists. Some of the arguements you make about the U.N., for example, could be taken verbatim from the texts of the KKK or the militias that spawned Timothy McVeigh. Can I use your logic to infer you are KKK or a militia member? That's the simple minded logic of the extremist.

I don't have to prove that I'm not a Marxist, Tailgunner ... those days are long gone, and those theories and tactics have long since been discredited. I am to an American Communist what you are to an American Nazi - that is, we support some of the same ideas without coming close to buying the whole package. I'm sorry if you refuse to see that.
