This little tiff reminded me of this great piece about why political parties are illegal in the United States. We don't have parties like they exist elsewhere in the world, & so our expectations about them are all screwed up. Which is too bad, because democracy is unthinkable without parties.

Little Stephen Miller probably doesn't know that Sinatra was an early advocate for civil rights. Refused to perform in segregated venues. Was instrumental in the integration of Las Vegas hotels. And was a donor to MLK and the Southern Poverty Law Center headlining fundraisers.
