Funny that a premiere example of leftist indigence at the verdict is Richard Dreyfus who admittedly suffers from bipolar disorder and takes (or took) lithium.....

The bullies of the Leftmedia are used to setting the tone of the discussion, controlling the information, and getting their way. On a tremendous amount of trivia, they do, but this time, they didn't. It is just one more example of how their influence is slipping, and why they won't let go. They are desperately trying to recoup that influence, and their reaction is the equivalent of a journalistic tantrum, joined by their fellow travelers.

So go ahead, Leftmedia, hold your breath until you turn blue. Please.

The jury has heard the evidence, the verdict is "not Guilty".

'nuff said.

The list of quotes from celebs is pretty priceless.

Florida injustice dept: I now understand why OJ moved to your state… #shocked my heart bleeds for the family of #trayvonmartin — Adam Shankman,

OJ? OJ SIMPSON? RACIST ALERT! Sankman will never work in Hollywood again! Right? (Crickets chirping ...)

Ok.. Help me out. Treyvon got killed because he just outta nowhere decided to attack and try and kill Zimmerman — Ice T, musician and actor

Hey, look! A Liberal celeb who actually GETS IT. Yes, Ice T, that's it. Exactly ...

I think you can see why in the face above. That face is expressing glee — barely restrained delight. The slightest hint that America is unjust is manna from heaven for Leftists.


I agree, Sorry if I sound... Mystical isn’t the right word... Perhaps credulous...What ever, I can’t find the right word right now. But where I was going is that I occasionally think that these people are ‘psychic vampires’ they literally seem to feed off of misery and inflict more of it so that they have more ‘food’.

So many of them I’ve known over my life seem to be the happiest when they have miserable people around them. Some generate that misery themselves, others just swarm to where it is occurring.

You can shroud it in psychological terms if you want to, but just step aside sometime and look with a uncritical eye, I think you’ll see what I mean.

They are giving it so much attention to draw attention away from Benghazi, Egypt and Obama commie care. Think about it: Self-defensee cases go on every-single-day, yet this one gets all this attention? Yeah and while you are pay attention pay no attention to the putz who is empowering radical Islam in the middle east and has everything lined up to destroy the US economy because the 911 terrorists failed.

Speaking of Richard Dreyfus, is he still doing massive amounts of cocaine while declaring himself a genius?

The Left is outraged because they believe their own BS.

The Left is outraged because they want to own the streets.

Well hell, if Richard (Dick) Doofus said it, it must be true. I think I’ll join the Saint Trayvon bandwagon.

The 'psychology' of the left is a series of irrational contradictions played out to their most destructive ends.

Conservatives have a double golden opportunity right now, to loudly proclaim to Hispanics-Latinos that every single liberal Democrat attacking Zimmerman racially despises Hispanics-Latinos; and that conservative Republicans are Zimmerman’s strongest supporters.

Hey, Hispanics-Latinos, think about *that* when you vote.

My experience is that many Liberals privately are okay with the verdict as such. It is the so called liberal “leaders” and “activists” and “media pundits” who continue this charade because they have painted themselves into a corner and are not about to admit that the Zimmerman case is not the civil rights watershed moment they hoped. So they continue to push the Zimmerman as racist thug narrative. No facts, no jury finding is going to change their notions of reality.

We have a black racist president and a black racist attorney general. The left has to do something to convince blacks that they are still being held back by whitey.
