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"
