One of the things I am proudest of about being on the non-leftist side of the spectrum is the fact that we didn’t hang Zimmerman out to dry for being a Democrat.

You know that it would be different if the shoe was on the other foot.

Granted that Zimmerman is a Democrat who voted for Obama for such crucial, principled reasons as the color of his skin and - did I mention that Obama is black?
But, in all fairness, you have to take account of the “white hispanic” meme. By launching that meme, journalism drafted Zimmerman as an “honorary” Republican. They used Zimmerman as a brush to tar us with - giving us a motive to support Zimmerman despite the fact that Zimmerman is a low-information voter. Who, having been mugged by reality, might actually have had some sense pounded into his head.

Again, I am a little bit proud that we don’t stoop to lies as the others do.

On the other hand, I wish we had more success in using the truth.
