Considering the source, I'm not at all sure this unashamedly right-wing commentary on the protests in DC this weekend is any more reliable than the far-less-than-unbiased reports in the mainstream press, but at least this guy doesn't hide the axe he's grinding.
Note to those who live outside DC: We're infected by more than your usual basket full of mixed nuts around here. It's especially easy to find completely delusional and/or inhumanly determined (depending on your point of view) people in Lafayette Park.
Some of the more propeller-beanie driven ideas in the op-ed were probably retrieved from people such as these, or any of the number of homeless mentally ill who wobble off their meds and choose to hang out near the president.

I believe the author was a guest on the Howie Carr show yesterday, and they played tapes of these people saying just the weirdest things. Hey, one of them even got something in there about SUV owners being the cause of 9/11.
