A bit unfair since he'd lead them to the answers he was looking for, and very much similar of going to a tea party gathering and asking people if they'd support a militia taking over Washington DC.
Obviously he was leading them, and I'm sure they also cut the footage to look as inflammatory as possible. BUT.. leading ... inflammatory ... or not ... who would say "Yes I think there should be a ban/cap on corporate profitability" or even as you suggest "Yes we should have a militia take over Washington."?. Nobody I know.

These are the people that are the next rung in your democratic process!
