Tea party
In your articles about the Tea Party you seem to take a neutral view as to their general thrust and nature. It is clear that they are based largely on a racist reaction to the first Black president and not on differences of policies. The NAACP correctly recognized their danger and organized a counterprotest to them in Washington, D.C.

Glenn Beck rally
Kudos to the Militant for its coverage of the October 2 rally in Washington, D.C. (in October 18 issue). That “nearly 200,000” participated is of significance because as noted at the end of the article the late August rally, also in Washington, D.C., “called by right-wing talk-show host Glenn Beck attracted hundreds of thousands—both middle-class layers and workers.” But is it the case that the Beck rally drew such numbers?
