Mark said...: I think it is pretty progressive. Keep in mind that there were 70 Nazis, and I imagine that's spread all over the bi-state area. They had to be protected by the police with fences. 150 anti-nazi protesters showed up, and there were at least two other anti-nazi rallies the same day in other places. I guess with any suitably large population you'll always find some nazis. There's more here: http://www.stlbeacon.org/region/nazi_rally_is_nothing_new_to_former_aclu_director
