And, people will regard him as Don Quixote instead of St. George....
And, if he gets out of jail and tries to get work while "unrepentant and un-rehabilitated" a few whispering phone calls from the IRS and/or the FBI to the dutiful studio heads will assure his permanent retirement. ("Yes, Mr. Goldstein, Nelson was a hero to the Aryan Brotherhood and the Nazis in prison. In fact they protected him!")
I appreciate his courage but question the wisdom of a futile martyrdom. Americans consider such principled sacrifices as the acts of losers, and none who aren't already predisposed (Granola eating peaceniks wearing John Lennon glasses) will be inspired by it.
