No, it was for a taped session with myself, a Tea Party organizer and a tear-gas dodging, anti-globalization anarchist &#8220;giving advice&#8221; to Daily Show&#8217;s Samantha Bee about how to organize a good rally. It was clear they wanted to portray us as the crazy folks who should not come to their rally for reasonableness.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Crazy?
