The guy with the kid and videos is very relevant. One is as good as the company they keep, and the teabaggers keep some pretty shady company in their tent.

The only relevance I can see is that he attended the gathering. Not saying I support what he's doing, just in my mind it doesn't belong with the rest of the report.

But I guess if Wendy said it's good coverage..lol.. then I guess ya can't blame this outlet for making up a liberal story! Maybe next time the tea parties will form a coalition with the Klan.

It's good that student + moratorium now contingent had the courage to confront those right wing bigots. Curious how they were the ones facing police repression... it seems the times haven't changed too much. The most thorough coverage I've seen so far.

Asking them where they were born, and if they had green cards.

I was there and I saw multiple students giving interviews to all kinds of new outlets. So maybe next try a little harder before you claim that the group refused to give an interview.
