20. Oh please friend, realize that no matter who was doing the rally
The RW spin machine would come out with the same BS, making us look bad. If ANSWER wasn't there, they would have been spinning on about UP&J. If the Dems had organized this, they would have Swift-Boated them. It simply doesn't matter to the RW spin machine, all they do is plug 'n play work.

And quite frankly I think that you are overemphasizing the effect that ANSWER had. Listening to the local and national reports, both today and yesterday, I hear very little about ANSWER's involvement, and the only message that the MSM is taking away from this is the anti-war one, so calm your hysteria down a few notches, your overblown worst fears are not coming true.

This is the same sort of thing that happened in the Vietnam protests, and gee, they stopped a war. Unless you are willing to organize and do the logistics for the next anti-war rally in DC, knock off the overblown hyperbole and realize that ANSWER is doing a great deal of good with these protests, and that your worst fears are not coming true.
