"This is absurd. I was a member of Quaker and other groups opposed to the
war. We received no funding from anyone except those who volunteered funds,
needed materials, time and a lot of sweat and heart. To believe some
politicized claims at face value and to utterly disbelieve the integrity of
all those who opposed Vietnam says very poor things about the credibility of
your statements in this area."
Samantha, as I had mentioned before, Todd Gitland, former president of the
SDS and who is still anti-war, lamented that he regrets that he did not
notice early enough or do enough to stop the take over of the anti-vietnam
war protests by communist supporters and sympathizers. Are you saying that
Gitland is incorrect? The the Vietnam protests had no backing or support
from communist sypmathisers? Gitland is also appaled that the recent ANSWER
coalition protest (was that the one you attended?) is run by these same
people. The people who founded ANSWER are proudly in support of Ayatollah
Khomeini, Kim Jong Il, Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein.

"You are making yourself a laughing stock."
You clearly disregard the above mentioned evidence, a statement made by one
of the spiritual founders of the vietnam anti war protest that the the
vietnam cause was taken over by pro-communist groups. Who is being made a
laughing stock is clearly a subjective element.
