WOW! triple post...and I didn’t even try!
Allan West may have had an advantage on account of his being black and all that. O.J. Simpson taught us that the Ace of Spades beats the Queen of Hearts in a pinch. Hell! Tammy Bruce, then head of the L.A. NOW chapter at the time, quit and became a conservative because she was told to stay muzzled during the O.J. trial.
Nevertheless, I really believe the power of the activist left is a mile wide and an inch deep. Recall the laughable occasions when the Jesse and Al axis actually try to organize and carry out a boycott (as opposed to threatening one).
I’m convinced the best way of weakening this bunch is to simply provoke them at every opportunity. Look at how far that egomaniac Donald Trump got by getting in their faces.
