However, what stood out to me most was the level of ignorance. Communism, they said is just a branch of National Socialism, so Obama is both. Czars, one said, are Russians working in the White House. Glen Beck, several said, is an intellectual giant. Hello?

He should get every dime he has asked for and then some. They basically ruined his career and his life for a while, and they tried to black list him. Only his ability to hold his head high kept him going and able to stand tall.

I don't believe you will see any Dems...and NO progressives at all. Not sure I saw any Hitler signs but plenty of bad ones.

Of course reporters are going to choose the most controversial scene to present. Conflict sells more soap that smiles. However, the Faux Noise employee actually directing the crowd is a wholly different thing. Media ought to report the news, not help to make it.
