Reuters AlertNet – Thousands protest U.S. war, econ globalization

From the article: “In addition to anti-war and anti-globalization groups, the demonstrations drew anarchists, communists and environmentalists.” I’ve heard right-wingers attempt to discredit the environmental movement by calling them “communists” in the past, but I don’t think I’ve seen this type of association in a major news source before. I suspect it was accidental, but it’s still annoying.
