In fact it says very little except that that I'm against the war in Iraq. I know personally a number 
of people who think similarly and whose political affiliations vary across the right to left political 
spectrum.

There's nothing insidious about admitting your political leanings. What's insidious is your 
unsubstantiated claims regarding Millers political leanings and the attempt to associate DMB 
with those unsubstantiated claims.

Yes and this is what I mean by hearsay, tittle-tattle and mutterings. Colin Sick offers no 
evidence for his claim - he merely makes the statement. But as I said above, can you offer  
anything other than hearsay, tittle-tattle or mutterings to show that WCW is affiliated to RCP. It 
is pretty obvious that the answer here is that you have no evidence.
