Trayvon Martin and the Flat Earth Society
American Thinker ^ | 3/31/2014 | Ben Cohen

Posted on 03/31/2014 5:02:39 AM PDT by rktman

TV journalist Lisa Bloom has just written a book about the Trayvon Martin case. Curious to find out more, I watched her interview with Cenk Uygur of “The Young Turks.” She started out by explaining that she wrote the book to demonstrate Zimmerman’s guilt, and show that the jury got it wrong. Instead of presenting new evidence, or a more compelling interpretation, she ignored exculpatory evidence, mangled the facts, made bogus inferences, and omitted much..

More glorifying of tres-gone? Has anyone taken any heat to the Miami Heat for "honoring" this little POS? Seems like kobe found out that he might have mispoken after all so the Lakers are off the hook for his comments. After all, "We got to stand together bro. Right or wrong, we gotta stand together." His folks (parents in absentia) are makin' a bundle off this whole thing. Purty sad. But (as john cougar sings) "Ain't that America"?

Facts? They dont need no stinkin facts. The same with logic. Everything about their talking points is 100 percent dogma. And they are almost never called on it because of their Black Race Privilege. Welcome to the Obamanation in the 21st century.

Hopefully lisa will not be confronted by a so called young turk in the middle of the night who rapes and beats her. Will she still feel the same? would she wish that she had a weapon to protect herself? will she now get a weapon to protect herself? or will she continue to protect the misbehaved

No doubt she would sympathize with the perps because of something that happened to their ancestors thus justifying their actions. Didiots. Some idiots can never be changed.

I gave up on a friend I have known since childhood (over 50 years) because of an argument over the Trayvon case. He’s a liberal but he had always respected my conservative opinions and we were able to maintain the friendship by not discussing politics.

At a Labor Day barbecue last year, a few beers loosened his lips, and he said, “I know you’re a conservative, but even you have to agree that Zimmerman got away with murder!”

Of course, he was shocked when I disagreed, and when I mentioned the testimony of the forensic expert and the credible (male) witness who had seen and heard Martin banging Zimmerman’s head against the pavement, he said that he hadn’t followed the case that closely. He said, and I quote: “All I know is that Zimmerman had a gun and Trayvon is dead.” That pretty much sums up the left-wing’s argument completely.

Conservatives protest government corruption.

Liberals protest reality.

A similar thing happened to me. I had a life long friend, with whom I had lost touch for several years and started to communicate with her and her husband via email. This was about 2005. We visted each others homes a few times and had become good friends again (we lived 200 miles apart).

Then the election of 2008 was coming up, she started trying to shill for obama to me, knowing that I was a conservative. I finally had to tell her that I no longer wanted to communicate with her and we haven't since.

I respected the fact that she was a liberal, she had no compunctions about trying to "convert me". Liberals simply cannot shut up in their ignorance.

With the Trayvon Martin case, you’re either on earth or you’re on Mars. If someone’s the latter, you’d have better luck banging your head against a brick wall.

If nobody combats this garbage, it becomes conventional wisdom

Sadly it also increases book sales which is ultimately what she wants.

Lisa Bloom is Gloria Allred’s daughter.

If nobody combats this garbage, it becomes conventional wisdom, and millions of people will believe a sham.

It's sad, but we have to stand up to liberals. You made the right choice...

Even my conservative sister in law who gets her news from NBCCBSABC and her liberal children, thought that Trayvon had been murdered for no reason. She claims to have seen photos of the back of Zimmermans head and there was no bloody wound there.

I saw pictures of the blood on the back his head and nose, but then I watch Fox.

The media is in the bag for the Liberal positions and constantly either hide or distort the truth. Unless people care enough to keep themselves educated on the facts, the Liberals will win every time because of ignorance and sloth.

Even Fox habitually refers to Trayvon as an "unarmed teen," ignoring the fact that he was trying to grab Zimmerman's gun to shoot him with it. If Zimmerman had not shot when he did, within a few seconds he would have been dead. And the rest of the country outside the immediate area would have never heard of either Trayvon Martin or George Zimmerman.

Anyone who says that St Trayvon was “unarmed” is trying to push the lie that he was incapable of harming and killing Zimmerman when Trayvon attack Zim.

IE, they’re trying to deceive.
