seeing the Massive number of people who don't agree with them. Mental self censorship.

At the March and rally, I saw the wide variety of issues and speakers, and thought of occupy. I remembered the stupid criticism levied by the right that 'they don't have a cause, don't have an issue, they're talking about everything'.

Of course that was true in spades about the bedlam that was teabag rallies and events. But with occupy And the Womens' Marches, all of the issues are about one issue, which is that this tiny amount of rightwing nazis is attacking everyone, on all fronts, all the time.
