The Tea Party Protesters in Washington, DC on 9/12/09 had alot to protest about. Fueled by Glenn Beck and financed by right-wing organizations, these people were passionate about their issues.

Kudos to the interviewer for not focusing on the most inciting signs or the folks with the most outrageous opinions. This interviewer is not sensationalizing these people or his or their views. Most of those interviewed seem sadly underinformed. Watch the video and judge for yourself.

How do we as a society based on the decision-making power of an informed populace combat this problem? And if you're someone who supported the protests - what is the well-informed line being towed here?

Just asking...

Testing to see if this shows up in my groups. It seems that only much older shares are appearing in the Host Shares box, not recent ones.
