US - Communist A.N.S.W.E.R.

Ed Driscoll takes a look at ANSWER, one of the main groups behind the communist led anti-war movement.

I like this bit from Lileks:

Nowadays, if you point out that someone’s a Communist, you might well be accused of - dum dum DUMMMM - McCarthyism. The term has morphed from its original meaning. It no longer means falsely accusing someone of being a Communist. It now includes correctly identifying someone as a Communist, or ascribing a taint to someone because they don’t reject the Communists in their midst. (I’ll admit there’s a significant difference between the two.)
