Back in 1917 communists made a move to infiltrate the Quakers via an organization called American Friends Service Committee [AFSC.] This group may once have had pure motives but it wasn't long before it was taken over and after that the media began treating it as if it was mainstream and representative of the Quaker faith. But it is to Quakerism what CAIR is to Islam or what the IRA is to Catholicism. There is no leftwing movement or thug the AFSC will not support- Viet Cong, PLO, Pol Pot, Sandinistas, various African thugs, Castro, CPUSA... their belief is the US is the root of the problem and US militarism must be defused for there to be peace.
Google AFSC and Sidwell Friends.
I’m guessing Nixon was raised in a Traditional Quaker household!? ;)
