Jed Lewison could not be more wrong--after having water poured in his mouth and a handkerchief stuffed in it for trying to practice his rights to free speech by a republican supporter of Mitt Romney, the reponse of labor activist Al Neal in this situation was not "absolutely perfect." His Kumbaya moment only served to get his speech stifled and once again made supporters of Progressive causes look weak. I will guarantee you it gained us zero votes--Republicans lapped up the Romney supporters chutzpah, Independents don't give a rat's ass, and Democrats are once again demoralized.
The perfect response would have been a right cross into his facist lips. Frankly this non-violent posturing in the face of republicans who are honestly batshit insane is Pollyanna wistfulness at best, and a ceding of political righteousness at worst.
And I can flat fucking guarantee you that any republican who sticks a foreign object in my mouth to squelch my rights to free speech better make sure he has a baggie with him--because he's going to need it to carry his fucking teeth in on his trip to the dentist's office.
Peace,
