War protesters linked to radical left-wing groups

The groups gathering in Washington this weekend to protest President Bush and the war in Iraq have ties to radical left-wing groups and communist organizations and have enjoyed the support of the left's biggest financial supporter, George Soros.

United for Peace and Justice (UPJ) and International Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) are the two main organizers of the weekend of events -- the first major public protest allowed to surround the White House in more than 10 years -- and expect 100,000 people from dozens of smaller left-wing and liberal organizations.

A highlight of Saturday, the first day of protests, is an appearance and speech by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq.

"That will be a marvelous moment," said Bill Dobbs, spokesman for UPJ. "I'm sure a lot of people want to hear her."

That makes you furious? I guess telling you that "P Diddy" borrowed it for his July 4th bash wont make it much better. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1488700/06252004/afi.jhtml

Apparently he either doesn't understand it or uses it for purposes that are best left unmentioned on this forum.

Well I'm glad this is out in the MSM. So many people are oblivious to the antiwar movement's nasty underside. Few realize that ANSWER and the like are run by commies, they just think antiwar protesters are a bunch of peace-loving idealists. That's how they've been portrayed by the MSM up to this point anyway.
