I was in DC and spent hours looking at the various signs and people. Like more leftward leaning demonstrations there were the usual kooks but they were far outnumbered by more sane protesters. I don’t think LGF means to paint the event as a total kook-fest by outing the fringe but the focus sure makes it look that way. I guess it must just be the hyper-sensitivity that comes from conservatives being constantly characterized by the mainstream media as greedy, fascistic, christian warmongers. I think a good example would be CBS news showing only the controversial signs especially the focus on the LaRouche Obama with the hitler mustache ones. Of course most people dont know LaRouche is a left wing nut who ran for the democrat presidential nomination 7 times. CBS knows this but showing the Obama/Hitler sign serves the purpose of discrediting the entire event. I am sure LGF is only trying to point these kooks out to prevent them from spoiling the movement.
