Video by the NYT on this phenomenon:

And only about 94% as stilted to make the program look bad as I'd expected--guess even the NYT is having as much trouble getting/keeping their hack (lefto/libtard) writers as the rest of the newspapers. _________________ I don't care if you don't care for the fact that I don't care what you think!

I don't agree that the video Chris posted made Appleseed look bad. I thought it was more like a piece about a 4-H project, and like most good reporting, allowed the subjects to tell their own story.
But this, from this Sunday's NYT is another matter:

They gave waaaaay too much time to the idiot.
When I attended, we were told explicitly that if any talk of revolution against the United States Government was heard, the offender would be asked to leave.
This is the stance of The Appleseed Foundation.
