I
don't know why I do this. I've been doing it so long that my kids
view me as a right wing crackpot who sees communists behind every
bush. I don't. Only the bushes they are actually
behind. :D
The protests this weekend, in support of Hezbollah, staggered me. They were sponsored by International Answer,
as have almost all anti-war protests worldwide . In one
of his last articles before he was killed covering the war in
Iraq, Michael Kelly focused on these people.

International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) is a front
group for the communist Workers World Party. The Workers World Party
is, literally, a Stalinist organization. It rose out of a split within
the old Socialist Workers Party over the Soviet Union's 1956 invasion
of Hungary -- the breakaway Workers World Party was all for the
invasion. International ANSWER today unquestioningly supports any
despotic regime that lays any claim to socialism, or simply to
anti-Americanism. It supported the butchers of Beijing after the
slaughter of Tiananmen Square. It supports Saddam Hussein and his
Baathist torture-state. It supports the last official Stalinist state,
North Korea, in the mass starvation of its citizens. It supported
Slobodan Milosevic after the massacre at Srebrenica. It supports the
mullahs of Iran, and the narco-gangsters of Colombia and the
bus-bombers of Hamas. - Michael Kelly, Marching Wirh Stalinists, jan 22, 2003.

Kelly's journalistic pedigree includes stints at The Baltimore Sun, Boston Globe, The New Republic (where he wrote the TRB column after Michael Kinsley), The New York Times, The New Yorker, and the Washington Post. You could hardly cobble together a more prestigious list of left liberal publications. Listen to him.
If you participated in yesterday's Hooray for Hezbollah
rally in Washington D.C., or in any of the myriad other protests held
since 2002, then you are, at best, one of those whom Lenin referred to
as ''useful idiots."
Didn't all those hammer and sickles, even once, give you
pause? I think Lenin was right, but didn't go far
enough. You are witless, hateful morons, to boot.
Straighten yourselves out. This is not playtime, but World War IV
you're living through, and the good guys are not the lunatics who want to blow the world up in order to fulfil some Islamo prophecy. Sheesh.
