at inspiring grassroots organizing efforts. Now, the group VoteVets.org has taken aim at the insignia:Erick Erickson, the editor of RedState, has just given us fodder to use for the rest of the year. In an attempt at being politically savvy--and by telling himself that what they do is somehow akin to being a "soldier" in a "war"--Erickson has decided that conservatives need to field-organize like progressives. And what better way to motivate the "troops" for activism than by inventing your own unit crest which, of course, replicates those worn by actual combatants in real wars?While I am more than happy to mock RedState's goofy logo (are they starting a war, or a soccer team?), I have to point out that co-opting military style is not the exclusive province of the right. A great many of the lefty protesters that Caleb and I encountered in Denver did the same, and The Young Turks even use military ranks to designate levels among their donors.
