I went to answers website (I hope that doesn't make me a commie<G>) and couldn't find anything incriminating. (Other than they typical extreme left orgs on the steering commitee) Got Links? For such an organisation to have supported Stalin, it would have to be long lived. ANSWER has not been around *that* long. The problem I have with your argument is that Americans will go to anti-war protests for their own purposes, not the purposes of some sinister organization. So if every American went to an ANSWER organized protest, it would not do one whit towards supporting Stalin or Stalinism, or commienism, or even consumerism. It might not even stop a war. I think the same logic applies for Republicans (or Democrats). Little effort has been made to remove former members of the KKK from party membership and quite obviously that has not translated into a public acceptance of racist murder and bombings. I think there is a significant disconnect between the motivations of individuals and the intent of camoflauged organizations. I think a suspicion is justified but the automatic claim of connection is not. xponent Syllogisms?
