"It's possible that if the Tea Partiers cleaned up their ranks--purged the birthers, publicly rebuked people like this guy, banned Hitler signs, loudly rejected any instances of racism--that they simply wouldn't have much of a movement left. Martin Luther King was trying to lead a black community that was demonstrably patriotic, and had, in the main, rejected political violence as a strategy. He could afford to be picky. In the case of the Tea Parties, it's possible that once you subtract the jackasses, you just don't have enough energy left."

"And yet, it's an astonishingly fun game. I believe that's because each of the nine classes in the game corresponds to a particular type of internet jackass. As long as you pick the right class, you can leverage your misanthropy for the greater good!"
