1. The comparison I was referring to as I recall was about a trial for a white supremacist that was held here in Portland and not part of the KKK.
2. The comparison was made to illustrate how the words, actions and mindset of a person in a so-called leadership role can influence illegal behavior by those (often followers) who have the same radical and/or shake them up perspective. Sam’s anti-car bicycle supremacy is being portrayed on the streets everyday by hard core bicyclists directly contributing to friction and conflicts between motorists and bicyclists.
3. There is no way I can idolize a person that manipulates process to achieve his personal goals, stacks the deck on citizen committees to support preconceived misaligned priorities then calls it transparent, and promotes a bias one-sided and inequitable transport tax policies that treat motorists as cash cows to pay for specialized infrastructure for freeloading bicyclists.
