“Obama Campaign: Republicans ‘Politicizing’ Trayvon Martin's Death,” RealClearPolitics reported yesterday, citing an appearance on MSNBC by Stephanie Cutter, Obama's Deputy Campaign Manager.
She was referencing the reaction to the president saying if he had a son he would look like Trayvon.
"His Republican opponents have jumped all over him because they do want to play politics with this issue. The President spoke from his heart on this, it was trying to emphasize with some parents who had just lost a child. By any measure, this was a tragedy and we need to let the investigation take its course," Cutter said.
Amen to the latter part—the investigation should be allowed to take its course. But as for “people hav[ing] to stop politicizing it,” Ms. Cutter exhibited bizarre, in-your-face hypocrisy, particularly considering some of the recent performances by Democrats Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer, Hank Johnson, Bobby Rush…
The political left that includes the Sharpton/Jackson self-promotion street theater to the positively loony and dangerous haters represented by the New Black Panthers, has been doing nothing but making hay of this tragedy for political gain while pouring gasoline on the flames of racial mistrust,
--------------------------cut------------------------
I then asked a question that I believe merits a fair discussion:
Assuming he was not the aggressor, what if Martin had stood his ground and managed to kill Zimmerman? Would not those rallying behind his memory want to use the law to rally to his defense?
Ah, but there’s the rub, some may say. Reports say Martin punched first, and was on top of Zimmerman pummeling him.
----------------------------cut------------------------
We may never know, but in principle we need to be able to ask what if Trayvon Martin had killed George Zimmerman? Or what if their ethnicities had been reversed? What discussion would we…should we be having then?

LOL
There was some ‘rat yesterday that issued an implicit threat that the rulings of the USSC would not be obeyed if they struck down 0bamacare.
Something like “they have no armies”, etc.
Are they really all THAT stupid?
The Wagist blog, which has been doing the best reporting on this case, and found Trayvon’s Twitter account five days ago, has a new post up with an ariel map of the complex where the shooting occurred. He believes Trayvon doubled back to Zimmerman after running away: Dan Linehan, the reporter on this, is doing excellent work: http://www.wagist.com/2012/dan-linehan/evidence-that-trayvon-martin-doubled-back#comments
“If it would advance their power, they’d team up with the KKK.”
Like Jimmy Carter did to get elected Gov of GA.
Zimmerman would be hispanic. But, it wouldn't matter because it would be reported.
The first step in a war of information that pits those who support equal protection under the law against those don’t:
Remember their names and faces! Repeat as often as necessary!
“Those people in so and so” and “that kid way back yonder” isn’t really helping much.
Another good question to ask is what would have been the legal outcome if neither actor had been killed. Trayvon would have been charged with aggravated battery.
A not convincing photoshop
I’m curious why you posted that to me. Were you aware that’s exactly what I’ve been looking for? Thank you!
I haven’t watched a new Hollywood release in decades, but I read that the recent trend has been to portray blacks in films as the only hero, the one wise person, the computer genius, the one doctor with humanity, the lone physics genius who will save the world, etc. The whites are bumbling fools or worse, in comparison to the godlike black. It’s a mirror image of real life (ie, where are the black Stephen Hawkings, etc)
No one would care, or even know.
Thanks for the link
Do you know where the initial report of skittles and AZ tea came from. (Both are street names for drugs) Would like to know if they were recovered at scene.
NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING, that the left promotes, complains about or asserts should be taken at face value.Or to put it another way:
The left and the liberals are wrong about every single issue. Every single one.
Often they are wrong because they are lying and promoting a hidden agenda that they don't dare openly espouse, and often they are wrong because they are just stupid and don't understand reality.
But whatever the cause, in every single case, on every single issue, the left and the liberals are totally and completely wrong.
I heard something this morning that is rolling around in my head.
You don’t “fight” evil, you expose it.
Just as you don’t fight darkness, but shine a light on it, and it is vanquished.
The same could be said about the left. They are much better at hiding their agenda than a dark room is about hiding its darkness, but the same principle applies -
expose them, and they are defeated.
This issue is ginned up to shake out the stupid knee-jerk lower class black vote. Upper class black are more aware.
But ignorant blacks - those who don't know that 93% of young black men are killed by other young black men - fall for this every time. Dems use racial hatred to gin up their vote. It's creepy...
It’s true you don’t fight darkness. But you might have to fight the guy who is forcibly taking the flashlight out of your hand.
Remember the left owns the media. The media is the left.
There are more than a half dozen pictures of BO giving the camera the finger on the net. Look it up.
The picture of TM was taken from a facebook page he abandoned in 11-2011. It has been authenticated.
Original poster just combined the two with President's own meme.
Get your head out of the sand.
We’d have never heard of either of them.
