127. Well-written post...
... but I have a question. I just started reading the ANSWER thread you referred to, and really have to wonder about this. Since the funding for ANSWER comes in part from the World Worker's Party, which openly supported Stalin, who is responsible millions of dead ... is that something that any American who believes in freedom can support?

I'm serious. My maternal grandfather was a Ukrainian Jew who came to Ellis Island when he was 8. Childhood friends of ours in CT and NY still had tattoos - on their arms and on their souls - from the camps. Others had family murdered by Stalin's regime. How is that right?

I don't want to cause thread creep, but since you brought it up in relation to the state of affairs for the (D) party, does ANSWER's opposition to the war, and the administration in general, trump their ideological stance?

Thanks.
