here's another idea if they wanted sound-bite style quotes, how about interviewing some of the speakers/organizers?
in my view, you can sum up the general theme of these rallies as people concerned that government is out of control, spending too much, acting in many cases outside of constitutional authority, that we won't be able to pay off these debts so in the future we will see a lower standard of living and higher taxes on everyone. i don't get why this concern is viewed as idiotic.

It would be hypocritical to call them any more idiotic than other "demonstrators"...whether I agree with them or no...There is a lot I don't like about this country, but the ability to demonstrate without fear of reprisal ( other than on a message board) is not one of them.
But if that facist sound bite Spencer replayed was true, yeah..that was kind of idiotic, IMO I guess
