You just don't get it, do you? Do-gooders like the Wiesenthalistas don't need to be *right*; they need *a steady stream of cash contributions* No one had ever heard of Farrakhan, until the ADL starting pumping out press releases, attacking him by name. But Farrakhan was cleverer than than Abe Foxman, who makes six figures as the head of ADL; Farrakhan used the publicity to his financial advantage. Farrakhan now works the college lecture circuit; even better, he hires sports arenas and fills them up with lower-middle class blacks who are willing to pay the price of a ticket, to see Whitey get sassed in public. "You can say anything you want about me, as long as you spell my name right". It is a metric of AMerica's wealth, that we have a whole class of individuals who can make a living by being the interlocutors in political show biz.
