"Both groups' leaders were associated with the Workers World Party, which advocates a shift toward a Soviet-style planned economy. But a 2004 dispute prompted some members to form the splinter Party for Socialism and Liberation."

It only took about FIVE YEARS for the media to "discover" this inconvenient fact. This guy knew it back in 2002:
http://www.laweekly.com/news/news/behind-the-placards/3458/
"This was no accident, for the demonstration was essentially organized by the Workers World Party, a small political sect that years ago split from the Socialist Workers Party to support the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956. The party advocates socialist revolution and abolishing private property. It is a fan of Fidel Castro’s regime in Cuba, and it hails North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il for preserving his country’s “socialist system,” which, according to the party’s newspaper, has kept North Korea “from falling under the sway of the transnational banks and corporations that dictate to most of the world.”

beardog, I included the 2nd article because it was the very FIRST time that the AP has stated the communist organizers. What you state however is OPINION and not fact.

How do you know you aren't being fed false info by those fomenting protests?

The mobs of pro-illegal protesters are funded by them as well.
But there is history to this partnership: many of the filthy hippy causes of the '60s were organized and financially backed by Soviet KGB agents.

Dude, your gatewaypundit site is a B.S religious extremists site. Yahoo news says nothing about extremism at demonstrations. And, David Corn is a liberal commenting on one particular march in D.C prior to the war. I like David Corn, I agree with him in this article. And, I can guarantee you that most liberals were against the war before it started. And, now an overwhelming majority of Americans are against this war as well as stated in your second article. Are they part of the WWP 'conspiracy' or are they Marxist too? And, we could care less about the WWP, the communists, the socialists or the Marxists. But it is obvious to me that you just care about lumping all liberals into one catagory as being Stalinists and Communists because anyone who disagrees with YOU and YOUR views must be a liberal or a communist or a Marxist (according to your world view). Let's get one thing straight, liberals are not Stalinists and we're not communists whatsoever. If you knew anything about Political theory and political parties, you would understand what this means. I've seen the WWP at demonstrations that they haven't organized but were either tabling or handing out pamphlets. Most liberals avoid them or toss their ranting leaflets into the recycling bin. Do yourself a favor, read more. You'll learn that most of the writters critiquing the marches and demonstrations are liberals themselves. But that doesn't mean they are Stalinists, communists or Leninists. You do your education a disservice by showing that you don't know the difference between these and liberals in this country.
BTW, liberals in this country have been around since the beginning of the founding of this country. Communism showed up in Europe first in the 1800's and didn't show up in the U.S until the early 1900's. And, all liberals in America still stand by the principles of the Enlightenment and the founding of this country, not by the doctrine of Communism and Marxism. Read David Corn's article again. It's obvious you read your own indoctrination into it. Try reading your articles without an obviously dogmatic and biased jaundiced eye.

Did you actually READ that second article? I think the major point you missed, is that protest turnout is down because there's no more reason to protest. The overriding majority of Americans are against the war, so further protests are just preaching to the choir.
It's not a communist goal dude, it's an American one.

What is important is that their are intelligent Conservatives and Liberals in America who are not PRO WAR.
There are plenty of idiots around who think that every time some two bit dictator rattles his sword you have to drop some bombs on him and have a nice trillion dollar pre-emptive war.
Also, in case you didn't know Your biggest and most favored trading partner is COMMUNIST China.

So, according to you, those two groups, which I've never heard of before in my life, are the ENTIRE anti-war movement?
That means 70% of the US are communists?
Right.

actually almost all of the antiwar folks i know knew that answer was a communist front which is why so few of us are willing to go to their events and prefer to do grassroots organizing. many more are uncomfortable with it but will still go to dc because they feel that it is important that they be seen there. I'm an anarchist, many anarchists will show up at answer marches but again because they are against the war not because they support the maoist f**ks.

I'm not sure what liberals are supposed to admit. The war is either right or wrong. 70% of Americans are against the war. Does that make them a communist?

so you expect people to believe, based on the political ties of a handful of people, that everyone that is against the war in Iraq is a commie?
that's stretching it really thin, don't you think? never mind; of course you don't think.
just what exactly does being anti-war have to do with being a communist?!
