The cartoonish desperation of the race-baiters - today's edition

Congressman and former Black Panther Bobby Rush wears a damn hoodie to speak on the House floor about Trayvon Martin and gets his ass thrown out by the Seargent-at-Arms for violating a dress code dating back to 1837.

Then there's the record being made by Chaka Khan, Kenny Latimore and other R&B singers. Then there's Martin's mom copyrighting phrases like "Justice for Trayvon" in anticipation of creating a brand of merchandise. Then there's Spike Lee's tweet of the address of the wrong Zimmerman, causing an elderly couple to have to flee their home and go into hiding.

An infantile nation preoccupies itself with ginned-up righteous indignation as it goes broke and its fundamental freedoms hang in the balance. And as its leader sells out its security to its main adversary so as to stroke his messianic ego.

Which characterization is more accurate - pathetic or chilling?
