The hypocrites at A.N.S.W.E.R.

Rarely will you find an anti-war protest that doesn't involve A.N.S.W.E.R. The name means "Act Now to Stop War and End Racism" but their stance on war and racism is hypocritical. Before I get into the hypocritical stuff, let me give you a little background on these people.

A.N.S.W.E.R. is a branch of the International Action Center. A communist organization founded by former Attorney General, Ramsey Clark (that's right, the leader of Saddam Hussein's legal defense team, and one of Jimmy Carter's lapdogs). Their stated long term goal is to replace "by any means necessary" America's capitalist economic system with Marxism.

Now that you know who is running the show behind the scenes, I'll explain their hypocrisy. A.N.S.W.E.R. claims to be an organization founded to stop war and end racism, they protest to no end the so called "occupation" in "Palestine", they protest the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, etc. But why is it they never protest the occupation of Kurdistan?

Kurdistan is currently under occupation by Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. So where is A.N.S.W.E.R. protesting this? They wish to "end racism" but where are their protests to end violence against Kurds? Kurds were murdered all the time under Saddam Hussein's rule but where was A.N.S.W.E.R. protesting his treatment of them, or the current violence against them by the Sunni terrorist groups in Iraq?

More importantly, where are they on the issue of Darfur? Arab/Muslim terrorist groups are committing genocide against African Christians but I challenge you to visit their website and find anything discussing this issue. But I thought they wanted to end racism and war. Don't the Africans count?

Their answer to that (no pun intended) is no. Because A.N.S.W.E.R. is not only made up of communists but of Arab Muslims as well. To them, Darfur is not an issue, to them the Kurds are not an issue, even though many of the Kurds are Muslim, they are persecuted because their ethnic background, and therefore Kurds and Africans do not count. Or at least not the African people under attack and persecution by Arab Muslims anyway.

If they were under attack, occupation, persecution, etc. by anyone other than Arab Muslims, then A.N.S.W.E.R. would jump to their rescue. And Because A.N.S.W.E.R. is run by a communist organization they will never protest obvious persecution in China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, etc. because those are communist countries.

A.N.S.W.E.R. are some of the biggest hypocrites around. They only focus on issues important to them and not humanity as a whole. They don't want to stop war, they want to stop our war. They obviously want North Korea to be free to attack South Korea whenever they feel like, they don't care if the Janjaweed slaughter millions of people, but if Israel defends itself against Hezbollah and America takes on Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden to rid the world of terrorism, you'd better watch out because here comes A.N.S.W.E.R.
