Who else thinks the Zimmerman verdict is a way


 
Last edited Mon Jul 15, 2013, 07:03 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

of getting "back" at Obama? Is it merely deferred hostility, animosity? A deferred, shaded THREAT to President Obama?

 :whatever:

Yeah that's it, we wanted an innocent man to go free all just to give 0bama the finger.  :whatever:

1. I always felt that in white wing world they were using Treyvon as a surrogate for the president

When the president made the statement that Treyvon could be his son the white wing media immediately got on Zimmerman's side even though he is a Hispanic. They hate the president so much it eats up their soul and makes them lose their humanity and immediately made Treyvon the villain.

That is idiotic. The preezy saying that saint skittles could have been his son had nothing to do with any of the facts of innocence or guilt concerning Zimmerman. The only people who made a knee jerk reaction and stuck to it no matter what the facts were, were you idiots on the left. The only thing that mattered was Zimmerman was lighter than Trayvon so therefore he was automatically guilty. We on the other hand looked at the facts and came to a correct conclusion.

3. I've got one of them still quoting that "could have been my son" line

like someone riveted it in his head. He keeps sending any negative stories about young black men with that line.

7. I had not thought about that, you do make an excellent point

Early on Zimmerman did not have many supporters, then after the case had been in the news a few days the racists came out of the woodwork and I had always wondered exactly what triggered that. These people hate Obama so much that I could actually see them coming out in favor of a murder if Obama spoke against murder, and your point suggests that is exactly what happened.

No, DUmmy early on we didn't have enough facts to support either Zimmerman or Saint Skittles. It's called being objective and looking at the facts instead of jumping on a bandwagon because that is the PC thing to do.

4. I do! Completely! White America has been looking to put Blacks in their place!

And don't you forget it. Their cowardice in not admitting their prejudice, of calling Blacks the racists and talking about the Black deaths in Chicago when they are simple bigots who don't give a rats ass about Black Americans is the truth of who they are and sadly who we are as a nation, still.

 :whatever:

6. Sadly, I think having an African-American President

has actually brought out the racists, despite his significant successes (deficit / healthcare / ending the wars / end of DADT etc etc), rather than buried them, as one would have expected.

I'm so f*** sick of it.

This DUmmy is really stuck on stupid.

What I find interesting about these threads is the complete lack of understanding that the verdict came from a jury. There seems to be an assumption that there is a big bad malevolent force (a vast right-wing conspiracy, one might say) which makes all of these decisions, and then manipulates thousands of people into pretending that it's business as usual.

What I find interesting about this whole thing is how there is only one side that has been one bit racist.  And it's not the "white wing."  This thing has been manipulated since the very beginning as some racist act from the 911 tape that NBC falsified.

I liked the Drudge headline yesterday:

"Hundreds attend rallies for Martin"

Here in my leftist shithole there was a giant rally of 8 people. You would have thought it was 10,000 because the local news gave this 8 person rally about 4 minutes of air time.

They merely forgot to mention, that was the nationwide count...total.  :lmao:
8X50=400.  Yup, I guess hundreds is correct.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
