So the PPC claim this guy threatened to burn down a venue to prevent a PPC event. And for that, he's suing them for defamation.
But if it's true he was behind the threat, then that literally (even if not legally) makes him a terrorist.
ter·ror·ism
/ˈterəˌrizəm/
noun
the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
It'll be hilarious if the PPC can prove he was behind the threat and he loses the case, because that will officially prove him a terrorist in court.
Two problems I can forsee:
Any attention the media gives the PPC on this one will be overwhelmingly bad. If they report on this at all it'll be more "Look how racist those racist PPC'ers are! Aren't they racist??". That won't help you at all. That will only attract the wrong kinds of people to join your party which will just make things worse.
It could however inspire supporters to send in donations, but that may be moot if the claimant wins and cleans the PPC out.
