Isn't the act of inciting a armed revolt against a democratically elected government an attack on democracy? I fail to see the difference.

Also, the end of the documentary really frustrated me because it basically ended with an old woman saying "Americans just don't do that sort of thing" - and it's that level of ignorance I dislike.

Well, outside of a few notable exceptions, Americans DON'T do that sort of thing. I'm not sure how her comments are ignorant. Canadians don't either, or a number of other cultures/nations, and we certainly do not tolerate such groups living among us (knowingly).
Contrary to current political rhetoric, not everything is the same for everyone, everywhere.
