Anthony Gancarski

Anthony Gancarski, the author of Unfortunate Incidents, wrote for generally libertarian publications such as The American Conservative, CounterPunch, and LewRockwell.com. He then underwent an ideological conversion, "leaving the antiwar Right", moving from generally libertarian publications to Frontpage Magazine, affiliated with David Horowitz and neoconservatism.

In the "Anti-War Right"

His web journalism was recognized by Utne Reader Online as "Best of the Web.

Writing in CounterPunch in 2002, he suggested Jeb Bush could benefit by switching to the U.S. Democratic Party.

After the 2004 Iowa presidential caucuses, he said that Howard Dean's "antiwar" position had had little impact. MoveOn.Org, funded by George Soros, had little effect on the first and second finishers, Senators John Kerry and John Edwards.

Dean, however, was, in Gancarski's view, not really antiwar.

When the Vermont Governor saw fit, he kowtowed to AIPAC, advocating a financial package for Israel that exceeded even the stated goals of Pentagon hand Paul Wolfowitz, for whom a day doesn't pass without him being demonized, incantation-style, in one quarter or another. US to Liberia? Fine with the good Doctor. And Iraq? As Dean said in July, "now that we're there, we're stuck."

Frontpage

Writing about Karen Kwiatkowski, he terms her a part of an antiwar coalition between the Old Right and the New Left. He said her initial writing was for LewRockwell.com, "a website devoted to the legacy of libertarian economist Murray Rothbard and other vanity political concerns." Gancarski then associated with George Soros and Lyndon LaRouche. Subsequently, he grouped her together, as opposing the Iraq War, with groups including paleoconservatives, the New Left, Lyndon LaRouche, Michael Moore, the "Euro-Left", and ANSWER.
