Apt Description of the Recent “Anti-War” Protest
You know the one I'm referring to...
Which begs the question - why doesn't the MSM report what International A.N.S.W.E.R. is and why don't they report what their views are? If the MSM is really the "right-wing media" or the "conservative media" as many on the left will tell you, why aren't they broadcasting this information far and wide?
Well said. Notice that the author properly recognizes that Hitler was a socialist. Bringing that fact up always makes those on the left froth at the mouth for some reason.
Yahoo! News - The Home Front: The media have pushed the idea that the demonstration this weekend at the White House was an "anti-war" gathering. What they didn't say was who was behind it.
No doubt, many fine, sincere people demonstrated this weekend against the U.S. liberation of Iraq. Being Americans, they're certainly entitled to do so.
Maybe they even endorsed the view of those who organized the demonstrations. On Thursday, the organizers ran a two-page ad. On one, they called the Bush administration liars. On the other, they ran the names of all those who have died in Iraq.
But we'd be surprised if those well-meaning folks understood whose banner they were marching under, because the media aren't reporting it. For the record, the lead organizer is ANSWER, which the media routinely refer to as an "antiwar group."
It is nothing of the sort.
In fact, ANSWER is a front group for the Stalinist Workers World Party. And any group that qualifies for that epithet in front of its name deserves special scrutiny, since Josef Stalin was responsible for the murder of as many as 25 million human beings.

So why do communists -- particularly those who march under Stalin's flag -- get different treatment? And why do thousands of average people feel comfortable marching arm in arm with them?
It's a puzzle. After all, according to the "Black Book of Communism" -- a widely cited and respected compendium of communism's crimes in the 20th century -- communist regimes murdered as many as 100 million people over the last century.
That's quite a record. Indeed, all the century's great mass murders -- Mao Zedong (65 million), Stalin (25 million), Hitler (21 million), Pol Pot (2 million) -- were communists or socialists.
Yet many well-meaning people who marched this weekend perhaps didn't know all this. Or perhaps they don't mind having their cause besmirched by people who aren't really anti-war at all, but anti-America, anti-West, anti-freedom and anti-capitalist.
It's disappointing that so many marchers will demonstrate, heedless that they're being used by people who hold them -- and their bourgeois pacifism -- in contempt.
Maybe it proves the old adage: Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.
