RCP Proves Once Again They're A**holes

Atlanta Progressive News has a good report on the protest of anti-human rights minister Rick Warren. While the article's details on the protest are fine, I was most impressed with how they revealed the tension between the different groups that coordinated the protest. This is rare in activist circles and shows what a reader can get from a truly progressive news source.
The groups involved in the protest, according to APN, were the Black LGBT Coalition, GLBTATL, and the Revolutionary Community Party (RCP). APN listed another group called World Can't Wait, but I consider this a front for the RCP. I'm not alone in this either, so let's call it as it is and say RCP was present in force. In the interest of full disclosure, during the 1991 anti-Gulf War march RCP activists tried to charge the police after seeing two busloads of protesters (me included) come up to the back of the White House. We were lost and looking for the front of the White House. The RCP called for a riot which would have been suicide. I've despised them ever since.
RCP doesn't organize, they don't build. They show up to shout and sell papers, then they go home.
