re: #80 MandyManners

Short of trying to get restraining orders to keep the nuts away from protests, how do you do that?

Self-policing I suppose. When you have a movement with no clearly defined leadership, the members need to take control. If the majority of people in the Tea Parties are non-whackos (as many supporters insist) then why not boo or shout down speakers who are saying wacky shit? Tell off the birthers who are carrying signs in the crowd. Etc.

Basically, make it clear that the crazies are not welcome and they can start their own group.
