#1 Oh, that's ironic. The National Lawyers Guild has been a Communist front organization since before I was born. What did he expect? The hand on the puppet-strings is WWP these days rather than CP-USA, but it's still a puppet.

I wouldn't call this new conflict. Salon was full of articles complaining about WWP back when I actually read that virtual mag. There will be articles like this as long as there are Stalinists and Trotskyites, which is to say, organization men and ideological goats. Which is to say, forever and a day.

#2 Ha! Utopian idealists finally get a clue that they were useful idiots for those who care little about Utopia.

I said it yesterday, and I'll keep repeating it, because it is true. The liberals..ie: Democrats, find themselves in the bizarre position of now being totally represented by the capitalistic bottom-feeders such as Michael Moore, Jerry Springer, Tinseltown... and the empty blow-up doll that represents the antithesis of what they once (long ago) stood for, John Kerry.

The Christian Gay Bashing Right looks downright angelic compared to how low the liberals have sunk...defending every blood drinking, mass raping, tyrant across the globe in order to justify their failed lives.

The young always say, "when I grow up, I'm not going to be like that". The liberals became all that ...and less.

I've got to credit this guy for at least having the courage to refuse to participate in applauding the wreckage these "well-meaning" folks have left strewn in their wake.

#3 Ng! Don't conflate liberals and organizations like the National Lawyers Guild! These guys aren't liberals, they're leftists! There's a good deal of airspace between even the left wing of the Democratic Party and real Marxists!

Of course, you need a electron microscope to measure it.

#5 Mitch, the main difference between a liberal and a communist is that the communist knows what he is doing.

#6 To those who questioned his characterizing of ANSWER as a front group for the WWP, Newman responded, "I've worked with the WWP in various coalitions. You may not know how front groups work, but when the website was created by, the office is run by, and the main spokespeople are all from a single group like the Workers World Party, it is fair to characterize the group as being derived from that group."

He added, "And as a member of the leadership of the National Lawyers Guild, which has endorsed ANSWER â against my vote â and who has key people doing their legal work, I know pretty well the role of the WWP in organizing this stuff. "

Well, this certainly explains the drivel being spewed about North Korea by the National ~~Liars~~ Lawyers Guild.
