Sorry, my comment was too absolute. Both pro-war and anti-war groups
contain "right wing extremists" as your URL shows.

Be that as it may, I find it curious that people who object to
protesters do so without (apparently) realizing that they too are
protesting. I don't join any protest  group because I don't like
groups. The reason that I don't like groups is that they tend to be led
by selfish, greedy, moronic, power-hungry a**holes. This applies to
both pro- and anti-war groups. By not joining any group, I avoid
empowering its leaders.
