One of the myths out there is that because ANSWER/Workers World Party organizes anti-war protests, that the peace movement as a whole is Communist. This is a lie/myth. ANSWER is a tiny tail trying to wag a huge dog. And the dog is growing, which is why Bush is so desperate for war, saying he's "losing patience." Gotta make it a fait accompli before mainstream America wakes up.

Umm...hello! "mainstream America" has woke up. That's why 73% of the people today support our efforts to prevent this scumbag from setting off a mushroom cloud over Dallas or causing 50,000 people in Chicago to do the dying cockroach from a Chem/Bio attack. Yes and me and my fellow soldier will even protect you as well. Despite your appearent loathing for this country.

"We can't let the liberals and lefties be the only ones getting the message out," said Carol Moore, who coordinated the Libertarian effort.

Is this what they agree with also??

Years ago I almost thought I was a Libertarian. What a foolish party. Thank God we have a leader who knows how to lead. As my son-in-law heads to the Middle East on the USS ROOSEVELT, he knows that he is defending the commie scum, the Hollywood elite, the leftist bastards, and the jackass Libertarians. He still does it proudly.

More than a dozen Libertarians carried signs and chanted slogans

A dozen? A dozen? Dang, did they check all the blood banks, free clinics, shelters, rehabs and halfway houses? They ought to be able to come up with at least two dozen....

ANSWER is not so small, it is the biggest organizer of anti-war rallies.

We have troops in Iceland. Are we protecting them from Greenland?"

Iceland has been secure from attack, and Greenland has remained within her borders, since our arrival on the scene. Just one more problem solved, don't bother to thank us, a quiet nod will do.

The march included "lots of peaceniks who'd be open to libertarian ideas if anyone ever told them they exist," said Moore.

Hah, one more reason not to join the Losertarians. Any party who would want those bunch of idiots and traitors in their ranks isn't worth the .0000001% of the vote that they stand on.

What a bunch of loonies! One of the legitimate obligations of the government is to protect us from enemies who would do us harm. I guess bio and chem weapons held by a nutjob aren't enough for you?

By the way, I was REPULSED by the peace ad. Sarandon was speaking with a background of one of our American military cemeteries in Europe (the distinctive white, cross-shaped, marble monuments). Seeing those freaks use the images of our dead heroes to promote their anti-American propaganda incensed me!

LOL....The hide-our-head-in-the-sand party finally comes out of the closet! I wonder what it must feel like to rub shoulders with the likes of A.N.S.W.E.R. and other commie orgs.

Oh, btw, 77% of America wants Saddam's head on a pike. Deal with it, because it's going to happen.

Wow! 12 Libertarians? A whole dozen?!

Well... That certainly allows one to clearly divine what all the others think.

So if there was one FReeper there, does that mean that all FReepers are opposed to the war?

You will be glad to know that a number of people at the ANSWER rally demanded that our government be disolved so that freedom could reign. I couldn't remember where I'd heard that before, but it's coming back to me.

I believe that FReepers represent the true majority in America. They can only get about 5000 or less people in DC. The Answer people can get upwards of a couple hundred thousand people. I'd hardly classify that as a tail my friend. It's a serious showing of people. And although it's not going to turn some heads, I can guarantee you it will turn heads of people who follow the entertainment industry faithfully. Many of their idols are in lock step with ANSWER, whether they know it or not.

I'll be darned if I'd turn down a chance to have 200,000 plus of our folks on the mall. If we had them there, it would be a rather hollow statement to claim they were simply the tail trying to wag the dog.

What else wouldyou expect of the Losertarians... After all these are the same people who are for the abolition of our borders and letting all of the Mexicans and terrorists in without resistance...

Indeed, you've put the lie to that myth. Thanks, though, for documenting that the "peace movement" is authentically idiotic.

Here is a editorial I wrote about this very issue, for our local South Florida Republican Liberty Caucus.

Take a gander at the Libertarian Party's web site (www.lp.org). You will find, proudly displayed, an article on dozens of Libertarians marching in DC against the coming war in Iraq (http://www.lp.org/lpnews/0303/AntiwarRally.html). The march, organized by ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism), featured such illustrious characters as Jessica “humiliated to live in the US” Lange, and the Reverend Al “Tawana Fooled Me” Sharpton. While political demonstrations and the ability to disagree with our governments policies are basic constitutional rights, a wise demonstrator will make sure those they align with in a particular demonstration are not, in all actuality, fighting against the very fundamental political views you espouse. This is a lesson clearly lost on the Libertarian Party and their members who demonstrated with ANSWER.

ANSWER as an international organization rose out of a rift between the Socialist Workers Party and the Soviet Union's 1956 invasion of Hungary. According to a recent article written by Michael Kelly for the Washington Post, “International ANSWER today unquestioningly supports any despotic regime that lays any claim to socialism, or simply to anti-Americanism.” Members of ANSWER marched on Washington carrying signs that compared President George Bush to Hitler; another carried a sign that read, “The difference between Saddam Hussein and George Bush is that Saddam was elected”. ANSWER has, over the years, supported political leaders and regimes such as Slobodan Milosevic, Communist China’s murderous rampage in Tiananmen Square, the Soviet Union and, most recently, the “Butcher of Baghdad”, Saddam Hussein. Why would a conservative give any respect to a party that proudly displays this alliance so prominently on its web page?

Conservatives who have looked to the Libertarian party as a viable alternative to the GOP have question that must be answered. Will they still see as viable a party that aligns itself with those who work against America? Libertarians must ask themselves if they like the direction their party is going. The answer to these questions should be obviously simple. The GOP should send a thank you note to the Libertarian Party. Those of us who once would support a Libertarian candidate will no longer do so. Libertarians who care about their country will come into the GOP’s fold. So I say to the Libertarian hierarchy, "thanks". Keep your leftists, anti-Americans and socialists. The best will come to the party that does not work against our country - the GOP.

If you walk with the communists and quack like the communists, you're a communist.

"ANSWER is a tiny tail trying to wag a huge dog."

These libertarian protesters are the ticks on the dog.
