I am ashamed and appalled to read some of the nasty comments here. There go we, but for the grace of God. They have the same natural rights as we do and the Constitution protects their rights to freely assemble and to express their opinions just as much as it does ours.

Remember, Tea Partiers have been called terrorists, extremists and hostage takers. Is it so far-fetched to think that this kind of brutaity could be visited on us? I, for one, would fight for these folks to say their piece IN PEACE. Some of this is naive and hippie- ish, but watch this video with an open mind. See if there aren't sentiments that we can agree on. We don't need to hold hands and sing Kum-Bah-Yah, but it would be wise to take into account our common goals...and obstructors. http://vimeo.com/29513113
