What, if anything, can a highly vocal wackjob resort to as a last-ditch effort to silence critics of his views?
The answer, of course, is our old friend the lawsuit. And teabagger Jim Russell (the GOP nominee in New York's 18th congressional district) is using one to attack people who've pointed out that he is, in fact, more than a little racist in his beliefs. His whining about "patriotic candidates" is especially precious, seeing as his literary output might have a slightly different twist on "patriotism" than what other people mean by that word:
The sociobiological warfare that our youth is subjected to is likely to be even more diabolical since it appears to deliberately exploit a biological theory of sexual imprinting at the critical period of sexual maturity. Movies like this past year's spate of miscegenationist titles, Save the Last Dance, Crazy / Beautiful and O, a parody of Othello, appear deliberately designed to exploit the critical period of sexual imprinting in their target audiences of white pre-adolescent girls and adolescent young women.
That little example of Russell's intellect in action was from something called the Occidental Quarterly, which - as you might guess - gives off more than a whiff of the smell of jackboots when you read it. And Russell is a snit not so much because people are falsely accusing him of racism, but because he actually seems to think that what he wrote isn't racist:
"Intimidated individuals do not express themselves freely out of fear of being labeled by the media," according to a release issued Tuesday by Russell. "This unhealthy and un-American situation can and will be corrected only when enough of us decide that we will fight back against the enforcers of political correctness."

Uh huh. Sure. Even though Russell does not specifically disown the writings that I referenced, it's the press that's the bad guy in this situation for accurately pointing out what his apparent beliefs are.
Great. Just great.
The comedy gold never stops during this election cycle.
