Rick Santorum Convicts Trayvon Martin Shooter On Hannity Show
The Conservative Review Blog ^ | March 23, 2012 | Marcus Porcius

Posted on 03/23/2012 4:28:30 PM PDT by red flanker

Just moments ago on the Sean Hannity radio show, GOP candidate and RINO Rick Santorum took it upon himself to convict George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case. He said, and I’m paraphrasing slightly:

It was a heinous crime and he did a despicable, unjustifiable thing and the Sanford police should have reacted to that immediately.

Again, I am paraphrasing a little as I did not have a recorder running to get his exact words, but that was essentially his statement.

So even though only our Lord is to judge the heart, instead you are doing so. Making yourself Lord? < /s >

I think he was simply conversing about a terrible thing that happened.

Your analogy reeks of apples versus oranges. A child molester generally has a real lingering character problem. A forgiven adulterer (like Mary Magdalene who discovered Jesus’ empty tomb) is not in the same category.

Santorum really needs to shut his beak.

I love you, but Newt said the same thing. Your running out of candidates.....lol.

So Rick was an eyewitness and has video of the whole thing?

I like Rick but he is so stupid at times.

Is he trying to make everyone else look good?

Unfortunately, you mistake voting for "religion".

Sad.

No he wasn't. He is running for President. Candidates for President do not simply converse. And he wasn't just lamenting on something terrible. He said the local police's handling was "terrible". So he was butting into a local police matter which is irrelevant to his mission to get elected President.

But what he could have said was that the justice department has no business getting involved in a local police matter. He could have used the issue to attack liberal politicians instead of a local police dept.

Voting, ok... but you are judging Newt. That is your choice of course and shows your personality type. But it is also within Christianity the ultimate in ‘church lady’ behavior.

...Prosecutor recuses himself...

Jacksonville-based Corey replaced local prosecutor Norm Wolfinger in the case and WFTV said several sources had confirmed that police had originally recommended manslaughter charges against Zimmerman, but that Wolfinger had not acted on their advice.

I would said it is local police matter and is under investigation and left it at that. Santorum did not have to say squat. How hard can this be?

This is why he would be crushed by Obama by 10%. He is totally undisciplined. I have never seen anything like it at this level and this late date.

Rick, shut your piehole. You don’t know crap about crap. At this point, go play with your Etch-A-Sketch or...just Sit-N-Spin. You are NOT ready to lead. Zero instincts.

Professional politicians can't ignore such stories.

It's like throwing steak in front of a starving dog and expecting him to ignore it.

Megalomania is a mental disorder, and Santorum is a mental case.

Yes - to be fair Gingrich suffers from this as well but there is a difference. Gingrich has been working on it and come a long way and doesn't seem to be taking the bait as often anymore. It's a shame Gingrich has not prevailed. He has a compelling powerful intellect just about unequaled in modern times by anyone I can think of. The man is brilliant. In comparison Santorum is a good man but a third rate presidential candidate. It is amazing to me he got as far as he did.

I am aFRaid that you are absolutely correct.

The story is written — all the “facts” will be presented in such a way as to support the narrative already presented.

"But these people are going in the wrong direction. GZ is Black/Latino. The media calling this a hate crime. Look at all of the money being spent and they by pass the local authority when Obama said it was a Local law enforcement matter"

Which leads up to: how does Obama profit by pissing off Florida and putting it in the GOP column? Painting himself into a real corner here.

There aren't enough Amish in the Sunshine State to bring those 29EVs back to him on their own. Gonna come down to Ohio again in a replay of '04...

Mary Magdalene was not a forgiven adulterer. She had devils cast out of her.(Lk.8:2)
