Under the Oct. 8 headline “Police at protests were on lookout,” it was reported that General Assembly Police Chief Jeff Weaver said his officers had collected intelligence on people they considered “anarchists.” And they were on the lookout for “anarchists” at Moral Monday rallies. The chief said these were people he and his officers believed to be “against government.”

Hmm. Wouldn’t that describe every tea party-backed member of the General Assembly – and the U.S. Congress?
