Picky, Picky

And the Tea Party Express' Sal Russo said that "[t]o attack a grassroots movement of this magnitude with sundry isolated incidents only goes to show the NAACP has abandoned the cause of civil rights for the advancement of liberal Democrat politics."
Exactly! Just two teensy-weensy quibbles:
  1. How the fuck is this magnitude of which he babbles defined? Sound & fury, signifying less-than-nothing, but expressed at the top of one's voice? Amount of money poured into T.P. activism by billionaires? Actual numbers of aging, wretched honkies who agree w/ the sound & fury?
  2. And how ignorant of recent political history is Mr. Russo ("Irish & Italians Needn't Apply." Remember?) that he thinks the cause of civil rights is not the same as liberal Democratic politics & policies, as opposed to the policies of, as one example, the former White Citizens Council, now the Council of Conservative Citizens?
