re: #21 Obdicut

I’m denouncing Adbusters. And though about half the people there knew who Adbusters were, I doubt very many of them are aware of the antisemitic attacks that Adbusters made.

And I don’t think anyone from Adbusters is actually there to get denounced for that.

It will definitely continue to be a problem; I can’t imagine any scenario with a group that has relatively open membership where it wouldn’t be. But as long as there is energetic confrontation of it, like that ‘asshole’ sign, it’s a hell of a lot better, in my opinion.

I think that’s pretty standard. Most tea Partiers had never heard of the Birch Society, Americans for Prosperity, Cato, etc. Most people join these things because it seems like their kind of thing and don’t research organizers.
