I remember reading an interview with Albert Murray. Murray was going off on the victim approach to black politics, and he said something to the effect that if someone wronged him or his folks...if somehow someone tried to oppress or subjugate him...he wouldn't make much hay about it. No marches, protests, or boycotts. He'd just round up his people...and take care of it.
About a month or so ago it was revealed that Jack Ryan, Illinois senatorial candidate, paid a staffer to follow Barak Obama (his democratic competitor for the seat) 24 hours a day. Obama pisses...the kid is there with a videocamera. Obama goes to get a bite to eat...the kid is there in his rear view mirror. Obama picks up a Ludacris CD from Tower Records...you get the picture.
Drylongso sponsored a contest. Who could come up with most innovative response to Ryan's tactics.
I don't know who won that contest, but given recent revelations about Ryan, I'm thinking that someone's been reading Murray.
