Right, Chomsky's thing about the government having superior force (which as he would say, is a completely standard liberal position) doesn't really apply to the threat from white militias. And they're not yokels eating cookies at the meeting hall any more; they're posting "riot defense" tactical scenario fantasy porn on AR-15.com and going to 3-day dynamic carbine classes.

Do you think Aaron McGruder ever regrets creating that character like Dave Chappele or Chris Rock ever did with their skits or bits? Because one quick glance at the comments shows an unnerving amount of affection.
