Just in case it's not already crystal clear who these (anti-Bush) "anti-war" leaders at the cANSWER press op are, here's another piece of the puzzle...

Workers World Party hits streets with election message

By Brian Becker
Members and friends of Workers World Party hit the streets in cities throughout the country between Nov. 4-7, distributing 18,000 copies of a special four-page Workers World supplement under the headline, "Don't let capitalism get your vote--Kick the 'lesser evil' habit."
"We distributed 3,000 copies of the supplement at a Ralph Nader Super-Rally in Los Angeles on Nov. 3," stated John Parker, an organizer in the Los Angeles WWP branch.
The response of the mainly young crowd to the party's anti-capitalist message was very positive. More than 50 people signed up at the WWP literature table.
"We are revolutionary socialists and we are organizing for WWP candidates Monica Moorehead and Gloria La Riva, but this supplement is also valuable for Nader supporters who are resisting the pressure from the Gore camp to support one of the two parties of corporate capitalism," Parker asserted.
Three youths who signed up at the WWP table came to a follow-up meeting the next evening featuring reports from a solidarity delegation that had just returned from the frontlines in Palestine.
Thousands of supplements were also distributed to the 12,000-strong Nader rally in Washington Nov. 5.
"Young people are looking for answers. I was able to sell 12 subscriptions to Workers World newspaper at today's rally in Washington," reported Sarah Sloan, a member of WWP from New York. A carload of activists from the New York and Baltimore branches joined the Washington branch to help with the mass distribution.
In addition to the supplement, WWP prepared a special pamphlet entitled "Marxism and the Nader Program," a compilation of articles authored by Fred Goldstein that have appeared in WW newspaper. Hundreds of these pamphlets were sold during early November at Nader Super-Rallies in Los Angeles, Washington and Milwaukee.
WWP candidates Moorehead and La Riva had just completed a successful tour in Wisconsin--a battleground swing state where Nader's campaign came under strong pressure from the Democratic Party.
The Workers World supplement also received a positive response from hundreds of people who participated in last minute Nader support activities in Boston.
Mobilization in New York
From Brooklyn to Harlem to Union Square, WWP members and friends in New York set up tables and distributed thousands of copies of the supplement on Nov. 4. "We started tabling outside of City College at 137th Street, but we moved to 125th Street near the Harlem State Office Building where the Gore campaign was sponsoring a street rally," Judi Cheng reported.
"People not only took the supplement, but a good number signed the mailing list to find out more about the Moorehead-La Riva campaign," stated Marie Jay, another participant in the 125th Street distribution.
At the 34th Street and Seventh Avenue location there was an excellent response to the supplement. "There were a large number of Spanish-speaking workers in the area who were particularly interested in Mundo Obrero," stated Mary Owen. Mundo Obrero is the Spanish-language section of WW newspaper.
Although the election will be over Nov. 7, the arguments advanced in the supplement will continue to be a helpful resource for those who want to combat both parties of big business.

The long and short of this anti-American "Press Conference" is this:

1. The communist and leftist dogs who spoke from the podium outnumbered the press in attendance; even when you count the WWP and Indymedia "press."

2. The National Park Service has not denied the communist and leftist dogs the right to stand somewhere along the inaugural parade route. And candypants Brian Becker and Mara "There are spies everywhere" VerHeyden-Hilliard admitted as much.

3. The "C list" people, that is the general public, can stand anywhere along the parade route that they can find a spot; and they don't need a permit to do so. Another point that Becker and Mara (Hi, girls; how ya' doin'?) admitted.

4. I have a question for the communist and leftist dogs who held this press conference, regarding the setup of the room. If all of humanity is equal in the struggle against imperialist oppression, then why do you all sit up there at the podium and segregate yourselves from the audience ("C list" people?)? And why didn't you share your imperialist bottled water with the peasants in the audience?
