Moonie Times: War protesters linked to radical left-wing groups

War protesters linked to radical left-wing groups
By James G. Lakely
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
September 22, 2005


The groups gathering in Washington this weekend to protest President Bush and the war in Iraq have ties to radical left-wing groups and communist organizations and have enjoyed the support of the left's biggest financial supporter, George Soros.

United for Peace and Justice (UPJ) and International Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) are the two main organizers of the weekend of events -- the first major public protest allowed to surround the White House in more than 10 years -- and expect 100,000 people from dozens of smaller left-wing and liberal organizations.

A highlight of Saturday, the first day of protests, is an appearance and speech by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq.

"That will be a marvelous moment," said Bill Dobbs, spokesman for UPJ. "I'm sure a lot of people want to hear her."
The leaders of ANSWER, founded three days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, are connected to the Workers World Party, a Marxist group that has expressed support for such dictators as North Korea's Kim Jong-il, Yugoslavia's Slobodan Milosevic and Iraq's Saddam Hussein. The latter two have been ousted from power and jailed.

Other groups associated with ANSWER are the Free Palestine Alliance, U.S.-Mexico Solidarity Foundation and the Muslim Student Association of the U.S. and Canada.

2. The "Red Baiting" of this era.
In the 50's through the early 80's it was the Red Menace, so whenever a protest happened, or somebody said something against an Repug administration the response was to link the group or individual with the global communist conspiracy. Today, the Repugs have done such an effective job of demonizing liberals (or have tried to) they align the opposition by connecting the protests and people with the--SHUDDER--global liberal conspiracy.

Hey Repugs!!! Deal with it! Get used to it. We're back and we're not goin' away.
