Nah, "pick your battles" has been used to silence the oppressed for all of time. The last time it was used so frequently in this country, until the current backlash against PC that doesn't understand what PC is, was during the Civil Rights movement.
And, again, I feel like you do not understand that it isn't this particular video clip that drove this reaction. It's the pattern the video fits, and the reaction came in a thread that was live blogging the calamity that was the press conference.
Please tell me if that makes sense to you. If it makes sense, please tell me you are now questioning whether you were right to call this out as an oversensitive reaction, or a reaction that needs to be muted for strategic purposes.
