Manny Fernandez offers another press-release-sounding article on the antiwar movement, with no suggestion that anyone in it is “liberal” or “left,” with the exception of “antiwar.” But as he turns to the counter-demo by “conservative” Freepers, he adds this shocking paragraph:
“Among the many antiwar groups, ANSWER, which stands for Act Now to Stop War and End Racism, is one of the most controversial, enraging critics such as [Free Republic’s] Taylor, who say it is a bastion of communists and anti-Semites. Among hundreds of ANSWER’s coalition co-signers, including historian Howard Zinn and city council members from Boston and Berkeley, Calif., are the socialist Workers World Party, the New Communist Party of the Netherlands and the German Communist Party.”
