Red, White, and Boooo

In a video that recalls Touch of Evil and From Dusk Till Dawn (but not really), the rambunctious White Stripes defend the Mexican immigrants in their new video for "Icky Thump":



I don't know which of the following 3 matter most:

1)The song has grown on me to the point where I love it completely
2)The political message of the song (and video) open a tricky but promising moment in the White Stripes' story
3)Jack is decked out in all red ala the early years of the band, signifying a healthy balance of nostalgia and new beginnings
