3. The interview was a good one. |

I love Keith's way of assessing the nutbags. On James O'Keefe, as footage showed him milling through the crowd, Keith said:
"Evidently, one of the last 10 Americans to still own a colored shirt with a white collar -- 1991 would like it back."
And David Swanson (& Keith) does a great job of putting the provocateurs into proper perspective:
Keith: "If you're looking from outside at your own movement, isn't it kind of foolish for people who would be opposed to your movement to -- not necessarily to try to be provocateurs, because they were obviously, to some degree, successful at that -- but to come out & boast that they were provocateurs kind of blows the provocateurism, doesn't it?"
David: "They're advertising that our movement in fact was more discliplined & more non-violent & more principled than it appeared, because they were the problem. They're advertising that."
Earlier in the interview, David explains how the situation began:
"This is a museum that's marketing weaponry, that's pushing drones, missles, & bombs, & we don't have any museums promoting healthcare or housing or retirement security.
"We wanted people to look at the museum a little differently; we didn't want them to be shut out. I think the guards overreacted dramatically to a message that, as we walked through the streets to the museum, people were leaving the sidewalks to come & join us."
