MOE LANE NOTES THE PRECEDENT: Pitchforks, torches now acceptable for political demonstrations. “Feel free to pass that around the next time somebody has the vapors about a Tea Party protest…” Yes, as I noted yesterday it seems an unwise precedent for them to establish.

UPDATE: Reader Gregory Taggart writes: “Hey, where were all the African Americans at that protest? I didn’t see any; therefore, the left is racist. (For that matter, where were all the people who could act or read their lines?)”

Not just an all-white mob with torches and pitchforks, but worse: a no-talent all-white mob with torches and pitchforks! Well, remember, they’re union workers so they’ve always been opposed to paying them according to their, uh, performance . . . .
