Is there a manual people can read that defines what someone has to do in order to be taken as sincere?

Also, again "Black America has *multiple* Ruby ridges a year" - he specifically made the point that "and they have it happen every day!!"

I say we take all the help we can get. Clearly this guy and his videos aren't going to change the world, but perhaps this is the best he can do personally. Shit, we have people who agree with us that won't even vote because they think it doesn't make a difference, yet so many here on DU are inclined to attack this guy. Just seems counter productive.
