By and large, nearly every one of the folks that I saw interviewed were average, middle class Americans. They were justifiably concerned about the direction of this country, the policies of this Administration (and the Bush Administration, as well) and the general sense of things going into the ditch.
While I’m certain that there were elements of the lunatic fringe in attendance (with gatherings this large, its going to happen), these protests were civil, and behaved. It seems like either elitist arrogance or desperation to somehow accuse these average citizens, who are exercising their First Amendment rights, of racism and extremism (“Nazism” has been thrown out more than once).[/quote]
I would love to see polling organizations do “exit interviews” at those events to see the percentage of protesters that have health insurance.
Based on the number of missing teeth, I’m sure quite a few don’t have dental coverage. Of course, medical coverage is not the same as dental coverage. That’s why I’m curious.[/quote]
You obviously have not ever really seen any of these events, except for what may have been being misportrayed in the various parts of the media, if you are making a comments like, “Based on the number of missing teeth…”
