No, John. I am simply putting the Political label on them that they normally call themselves when they are not running anti-war movements.

There is a level of this I don't mind. The problem with this kind of labeling, however, is that, all too often, the aim is to label all the participants as some form of mainstream unacceptability, and thus the aims of the march. In our political culture of the hyper moment, unfortunately, the preferred way to address political views you don't like is to spin them into something as negatively as you think you can get away with ("you" being a generic "you"), rather than address the issues raised.
