Last week, [Cards Against Humanity] went one step further, announcing the creation of
its own super PAC, the type of political organizing committee enabled
by a 2010 Supreme Court decision to spend unlimited amounts of money on political speech. The company dubbed it “The Nuisance Committee,”
named after Cards Against Humanity co-creator Max Temkin’s grandfather
Ira Weinstein’s experience during WWII. While interned in a POW camp in
Germany, Weinstein formed with other prisoners the “Nuisance Committee,”
designed to irritate their captors. A press release announcing the
super PAC’s formation writes, “The comparison here between Trump and
Hitler is intentional.”
“If your opponent is going to be spending tons of money and using all of
these legal tools to outflank you, to say that we’re going to stand on
principle and we’re not going to spend any money, and we’re not going to
fight back, and we’re not going to advocate for our values using all
the tools that the system provides, then how much can you really care
about the cause? I feel so strongly about Trump that I will use whatever
tools are legally available to try to stop him. Unfortunately, where we
are in American democracy right now, that includes all these things
that nobody likes.”
