They wouldn't be racist if you weren't so reactionary

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.
Malkin:
Pat yourselves on the back, Toledo rioters/looters/gangsters. You probably stoked more racism than the idiotic white supremacists could have ever dreamed of spreading--and you made their inconsequential demonstration of hatred a smashing success. Literally.
There's something fishy about this, though. From ABC News (who, of course, Malkin says we're not to trust):
Authorities said there was little they could do to stop the group, because they did not apply for a parade permit and instead planned to walk along sidewalks.

"They do have a right to walk on the Toledo sidewalks," said Mayor Jack Ford, who at one point confronted leaders of the mob and tried to settle them down.
That's fascinating. In Portland, there's all kinds of regulations about what you can and can't do on the sidewalks - can't sit, can't lie down.
If the Nazi group tries to come back, Ford said he would seek a court order to stop them.
I thought they had the right to walk on the Toledo sidewalks...

But at least Malkin set the record straight. ABC News ran a headline:
White Supremacists Riot in Toledo, Ohio
Thankfully we had Michelle around to dispel that myth. Wouldn't want neo-Nazis getting a bad rap.
