No, silly, Joan Walsh wasn’t calling the veterans at this weekend’s Million Veteran March a “hate group.”
No, I wasn't calling veterans a hate group, silly right-wing nut-jobs, just the Confederate flag guy and Larry Klayman. Read much?

So, to clarify, the lone anonymous clown who brought a confederate flag was a hate group. No wonder no Democrats showed up to support the veterans and their cause.
We can see where it might be difficult to remember any high-profile Democrat politicians hanging out with left-wing hate groups. If you consider the Weather Underground just a bunch of “activists” led by a guy in your neighborhood, you might have a problem identifying hate groups right under your nose, God bless them.
Also @chrislhayes when was the last time big Democratic leaders showed up at a rally with left-wing hate groups/rhetoric? Serious Q.

@joanwalsh Pelosi: "God Bless" #OWS. Soviet flags abound, rape tents, etc. @chrislhayes

@TwitchyTeam @joanwalsh Didn't Barack Obama launch his political career in Bill Ayers' house? And sit in Rev Wright's church for 20 years?

We reached out to Twitter for examples to help jog Joan Walsh’s memory.
@TwitchyTeam @joanwalsh one idiot waving a confederate flag is better or worse than Senator Bird wearing a white hood?

Why, just today Sen. Barbara Boxer called former Ku Klux Klan Exalted Cyclops Robert Byrd “one of the great senators and historians.” Nice grasp of history there.
@BettinaVLA @TwitchyTeam @joanwalsh It truly is dumbfounding. I don't think she's ever seen a book on american politics, or history

@joanwalsh @chrislhayes @TwitchyTeam I guess Joan missed the "amnesty" rally last week w/ La Raza? Or the rape-tent, Soviet OWS?

@joanwalsh @TwitchyTeam Does booing God at the Democratic National Convention count?

@TwitchyTeam @joanwalsh Hey Joanie, here's one of libtards BURNING Bush in effigy. Is that enough "hate" for you? pic.twitter.com/n8H0hQbOCr

You just know those World War II vets were burning Obama in effigy … in their minds.
@OneCharmed1 @TwitchyTeam @joanwalsh I don't care if we can't educate these morons. I DO care that they are lying about Conservatives.

I always say that when right-wing nut-jobs are attacking me on Twitter, at least, they aren't trying to break through the WH gates
— Joan Walsh (@joanwalsh) October 15, 2013
Oh, is that what the Barrycares around the nation’s open-air war memorials are called now? The White House gates? We like Barrycades better.
Everything I've seen today from that rally is scarier than Confederate-flag guy. Throwing barricades at the WH gate? Klayman quotes?
