The local NBC station is surprised by this? I did not watch their news over the weekend but I did see the ABC and Fox affiliates’ news and they were helping whip up the frenzy, if you ask me. They dutifully reported on the protests from angry citizens as if this was just a spontaneous outpouring of anger from taxpayers and unemployed people. No mention was made of the professional left wing agitators involved. The ACORN sign was even clearly seen on camera.
