Freedom of association

I watch a lot of Rachel Maddow, and she is very interested in pointing out when politicians or fake grassroots organizations have ties to recognized white supremacist organizations or people, profiteering, etc. A blog that my partner reads just pointed out that one of the Arizona state legislators follows a whole lot of white supremacists on Twitter. While that would be damning for someone trying to cover up such connections, I think the cat is out of the bag. The ship has sailed. True colors have come out. Insert cliche here. Once you support, create, vote for, like, enjoy, validate, or do anything other than condemn the recent Arizona legislation (SB 1070 and other racist measures that came after), your associations are no longer damning. You become the association that others then get tied to. You are the white supremacist. All by yourself. We don't have to look at hints or associations anymore.
