Only now that they have the Black bloc firmly on their "plantation" do Dems claim to champion minority rights...of course, with the attendant condescending attitude that minorities "need" them in order to gain anything. It's really inexcusable.

Agreed. However, we have evidence that the black bloc is moving away from the RATS. And i think this is due to the speed at which info is exchanged in forums such as FR. It's monumental in importance wrt changing the political tide. I am sure the RAT party leadership is aware of this, yet they haven't yet found a way to stop this fast info exchange or to take advantage of it.
