I wonder if some of these guys are worried that Trayvon Martin is a terrible "icon victim" for the civil rights movement and will end up solidifying support for Zimmerman.

If you're going to construct a martyr for your movement, it doesn't do any good to have a misfit loser in that role.

It’s worked so far having one as President, sans the martyr bit....
