California Greens say they have found a way to broaden their party's appeal, above all to disaffected Democrats: opposition to the war in Iraq. The Greens have made antiwar protests the central focus of their party at a time when many Democrats are squawking at leaders of their own party for backing the war.
"It's provided an enormous opportunity to differentiate ourselves," said Michael Feinstein, a Green on the Santa Monica City Council.
Regardless of how moderate the LA Times paints them, the Greens are a great example of how the American Communist Party redefines itself every generation.
