Byron York of National Review

Byron York of National Review Online on the Communists who organized the anti-war protests. Much of York’s material has already appeared on Power Line, but the article is worthwhile in its discussion of the refusal of other anti-war factions to condemn Brian Becker and his fellow Workers World Party activitsts. The typical reaction seems to be “Good for them for having the wherewithal to call the domonstrations” and “This is ANSWER’s dance and they get to call the tune.” And perhaps this stance is understandable. As one of our readers, Stanton Brown, told me the other day, “I don’t think you can mount a significant anti-war demonstration in this country if you remove all the virulent anti-America haters.” Or perhaps even if you just remove the virulent anti-America haters who are Communists.
