Witch hunts. Red-baiting. McCarthyism. Inquisition.

Since the passing of the Patriot Act, the emergence of an enigmatic no-fly list and the galvanizing push to wage war on Iraq, critics have used the above terms to characterize the pro-war camp and its supporting press, both of which were seen as recklessly and manipulatively branding all dissenters as unpatriotic, and sometimes treasonous and traitorous as well.

"100,000 march to give comfort and aid to Saddam," read one headline following the first large anti-war protest in the capital.

Untold however, was the ironic story of a similar struggle within the anti-war camp, where some leaders, activists and writers who voiced opposition to leadership say they were stigmatized and labeled "red-baiters" and "McCarthyists" in an alleged attempt to intimidate and silence dissent within protest ranks.

Long story, but this confirms the research of Doctor Raoul and other Freepers on the COMMUNIST base of ANSWER and other groups.

You will find this interesting if not surprising.

I think it's great- the main whiner, nathan newmann is just a shade less to the left himself.

Let them devour each other.

Newman is learning that the 'useful idiots' must not confront or criticize those who are more-equal.

Truth will surface by itself. Lies take energy to exist.

Pod: I ran a search on the WWP web site on those names that I picked up during FReeps, leadership types. They all were there.

Thanks for posting this. These people are truly scary, but thanks to folks like the DC Chapter and Doctor Raoul, they are being exposed.

We must remain ever vigilant!

No doubt about the antiwar crowd's being dominated by the communists. We've seen their signs with raised fists and other assorted commie/socialist references. tgslTakoma posted lots of pics of their signs and slogans.

I really wish the left would quit throwing the good Senator McCarthy's name around. He was miles above them morally and intellectually.

I just started reading "Republic of Fear" by Samir al-Khalil last night and was struck by the role of the ICP (Iraq Communist Party) in the turbulent years following King Faisal's death in '33.

Also news to me: Sadaam's party is usually referred to as the Ba'th Party in the media but he rose through the ranks of the ABSP (Arab Ba'th Socialist Party), Iraqi branch.
