A.N.S.W.E.R. protests

There's a lot of controversy surrounding the organization. I personally find its anti-semitic leanings reprehensible, and in Boston a lot of people were pissed that it co-opted the protests here (they were organized jointly by ANSWER and United for Justice with Peace). With protests organized by these groups, people go because they feel strongly that the war is wrong, etc. Many people are probably ignorant of ANSWER's organization, and those who know, go there anyway to form an united front to oppose the war. You could argue ad infinitum about these issues, or you can put them aside for the moment to give the anti-war movement a sense of cohesion and unity, something the left has been sorely lacking in the recent past.
