Part of the problem is our side is largely fighting within the rules of civility and openness against amoral liars, thieves and grifters who have no compunction about bending the rules to obtain their aims. The variable comes when they push too hard and its on. The New Black Panther thugs in Philly are treading close to that line. The irony is win or lose for Obama, turning the thugs loose will be largely detrimental to his metrosexual white supporters in the urban areas. They are largely unarmed except for magazines full of guilt and delusion. Maybe if enough of them get righteously beat down they’ll become a new generation of Neo-cons.
