Not unlike some did during the Civil Rights marches in the sixties. In fact the parallels are hauntingly similar. I remember the same Wallace, tea party like groups calling those who took part in the Civil Rights marches as being "just a bunch of trouble makers"
What makes it worse today is you have networks like fox spewing that garbage to their "true believers"

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
