There is nothing worse to a liberal than a lack of hatred. In fact, if there isn't enough hatred in the world they will manufacture it and if that fails they'll exude it themselves.

I'm detecting that the media is beginning to change the Trayvon Martin case narrative
to begin to TRY and elicit sympathy or at least understanding as to why George Zimmerman felt THREATENED and felt HE needed to need to defend himself by KILLING an unarmed teenager.
To me this change in the media narrative makes no difference at all. Trayvon was unarmed. He wasn't committing any crimes and was walking back to the place he was staying, and talking with his girlfriend on his cell phone. Neighborhood goon George Zimmerman saw another black person who he didn't feel should be walking the streets of his neighborhood and decided to pursue him even when 911 told him not to. So what if Zimmerman was bloodied up--Trayvon felt that he was defending himself from a stalker. End of story--Zimmerman should be arrested.

2. I think -- and hope -- they'll have a hard time changing the truth on this one.
Changing the truth? If Zimmerman was not racially motivated and if he were assaulted why wouldn't that matter?
Oh, right, you need to hate.

4. For all we know, Zimmerman might have slipped and broken his nose himself in aggressing the kid
The other thing we do know for certain is that the police failed to conduct a normal crime scene investigation, as though a priori they decided a crime hadn't been committed.

7. Yup
It just goes to show that the media never truly gave a damn about Trayvon. They saw a good story that would bring in the ratings and now they're milking the hell out of it from all angles.

8. The M$M sides against the dead kid...what a surprise.
The only thing the M$M is good for is making money for their sponsors. News and facts come second. Political agenda is always first and foremost.

21. I don't see where that has any relevance.
If Trayvon saw the gun, he would have fought with every ounce of strength he had. For all he knew, Zimmerman was as redneck out to kill a black man.
That's Jewish-Hispanic redneck to you, pal.
Redneckery has goe multi-cultural.

19. They are changing the narrative.
It's a lube job to sell the police's original story.
The newspapers will continue to hammer that point across each time his lawyer/friend has a media event.
We need to go back to the only point that mattered. Zimmerman lost his affirmative defense of self defense when he went into attack mode.
And that would be your best angle for prosecution and I could even support it...
...but you little retards WANT this to be about racism.

23. Yeah, my bullshit detector is going crazy!
The media thinks they can talk facts into the story that aren't there.
Rightwing radio programs are going into their 2nd week of trashing Trayvon.
Trashing him with what? His own pictures?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002474038#post2Remember when Dick Cheney sent Blackwater mercs beat-up to Randi Rhodes to intimidate her into silence? Until it turned out she just fell down in a drunken stupor?
Remember when Andrew Stack drove his plane into an IRS building because the TEA Party told him to? Until it turned out he wanted socialist healthcare and liked quoting Lenin.
Remember how Sarah Palin got Jared Loughner to assassinate Rep. Giffords? Until it turned out he obsessed on the film Zeitgeist which claims Bush stole the 2000 election and staged 9/11.
Remember how the firebombing of the democrat's campaign headquarters was an act of political violence? Until it turned out it was just some psyhotic homeless guy.
Yeah, that was all just the media manipulating you.
The important thing is that people understand RW violence. That way they'll agree with efforts to use force to shutdown RW hate radio, RW hate news at Fox and RW hate voting.
