Last I heard I had a right to exactly nothing. My rights paled in comparison to the infallibility of the great man, and my daring to raise them was an outrage.

I don't give even half a shit about Matt Taibi. I care about principles, civil rights and economic justice for ALL, not the careers of a few individuals you have decided are more important than the rest of the human race.
