Positive coverage from the drive-bys at that.

Correction...I mis-wrote.

I’m not such a simpleton that I believe the media is anything but lapdog to the obvious.

Nice catch. Coffee still kicking in.

However, I fail to see how this event can be turned around by Holder OR the puppet to facilitate their aims in Nov. I guess we shall see...they’ll try, but I think they will fail. This event, to me, is evidence that they’re losing control. The big question is whether this is exactly what was intended.... (civil disturbance, government stepping in, demonstration of power, etc., etc...)

As well, the ‘tyranny’ includes many Republican legislators (most, if not all)

no, your attempt to smear Republictions falls on barren ground.

For 6 years the congress has worked diligently to overcome Obama but lacked the raw political power to do so. To deny that fact is to promote unsubstantiated bias.

Our little lefty friends are playing everyone for the fool.

First we were told by Obama he wanted a civilian force as well armed as the military.

Then Obama arms up civilian police forces with mil equipment.

Then we have an incident and the mill equipment is displayed but not USED against people.

Then Obama and the dems go on the record condemning the militarization of police. The militarization of police wasn’t a problem in Boston because it wasn’t displayed/used against any particular racial group.

This tells you our little lefty friends have something much bigger planned where not only will the mil equipment be displayed but it will have to be USED against people of a particular racial group and the dems are on record of condemning the militarization of police.

I’m going to go out on a limb and take a guess what is planned.

Upwards of 1 million Hispanics and illegals will protest in Dallas, Texas and the “peaceful” protest will turn violent.

With 5% to 10% of 1 million “peaceful” protestors turning violent, the only way to stop them will be to USE the mil equipment which our fearless leader and the rest of the dems are on the record condemning.

I guessing Texas as a good place for their plan because the dems are really going out on a limb trying to make it appear as if Texas is run by a bunch of republican criminals.

Your caution does you credit.

The Conservative Treehouse http://theconservativetreehouse.com/ has carried out some excellent primary reporting on this case.

Most notably they picked up the audio of the witness describing Brown’s actions:

Hope this proves helpful

You're wasting your time. The guy's a Trayvonista.

Urging caution and patience before jumping to ANY conclusion does not make be a “Trayvonista.”

You can have your head in the sand if you like.

But it was not an “attempt”, as your attempt to minimize my comment states in your own.

That WAS a full-on, in-your-face smear of Republican leadership in Congress and nationwide.

The barren ground is at Boner’s feet.
