I don't think that many anti-war activists in Ohio or anywhere else regularly watch The O'Reilly Factor, but suppose they happened to hear on the show that the main organizers of ANSWER rallies are evil Reds who "want to overthrow the government and all that." They still wouldn't care. As for the _hard core_ of the O'Reilly audience, most likely they weren't surprised to hear that the Reds are running the biggest anti-war rallies either -- far from it, they _knew_ it all along! Besides, the hard core O'Reilly fans won't like any other leftist or even liberal anti-war group or coalition, like <http://www.unitedforpeace.org/>. So, over all, no harm done to anyone, except perhaps to Corn himself, who proved himself to be an exceedingly poor public speaker:
