Yes. Republicans. It is they who are ‘politicizing’ Martin’s death — they who are organizing marches, they who are putting out bounties, they who are selling hoodies and t-shirts, they who have scheduled mock Congressional briefings, they who used the bully pulpit to call for a national soul-searching because we’re somehow collectively complicit in a young man being shot to death while beating a neighborhood watch captain in Florida. Republicans. It is they who have blamed violence on freedom fetishists, they who have sought to turn the case into a call for federal review of state gun laws, they who stood before the nation and noted that, had they a son, he would have looked like Trayvon, while failing to show any public concern over the death of Brian Terry. It is they who have taken a local case, turned it intentionally into a national story, stoked racial animus, and are trying to orchestrate a lynch mob from the halls of Congress — all while ignoring due process.
Republicans, we’re to believe, are doing all this. Republicans. Many of whom are so terrified of being labeled racists that they’ll happily join in to calls for re-examining gun laws, or are “sympathetic” to calls for the arrest of a man who, an investigation showed, committed no crime.
Republicans are ‘politicizing’ Martin’s death. Republicans.
Up is down. Black is white. Malcolm is Martin.
I thought Malcom was in the Middle?
The republicans will be found responsible for having spent all those wasted dollars on Obamacare, should the Supreme Court cast the ACA down altogether. Mark it. The bastard conservatives just didn’t think.
Keep in mind, it will be Republicans explaining why the upcoming riots were understandable results of injustice, and Republicans arguing that the truck driver pulled from his cab and beaten to within an inch of his life had it coming, because of his white skin privilege.

So Obama has bad instincts, but error recognition is getting quicker.
If, by error recognition, you mean they’ve got poll results showing them it’s time to start deflect blame, then yes, they are getting quicker.
“The President spoke from his heart on this…”
I think we’ve discovered a new media code phrase for “Never mind what kind of stupid shit the President said this time.”
View through the right polarization I have to admit that clip is just about the most stirring rendition I have ever seen of the poor downtrodden taking it to the man.
Thank you newrouter @3:20.
The 2nd through 5th paragraphs are quoted from here.
Indeed, Ernst, that’s exactly what I mean.
Only slightly off topic, but check out the posts at Ulsterman (http://theulstermanreport.com/) for oh, about the last week or so. Interesting stuff. Still not sure if he makes this stuff up or not, but I find myself more often hoping that he is.
Fuck. Them. Swordfish-style.
And to clarify, by “makes this stuff up”, I was refering mostly to his “White House Insider (WHI)” posts, maybe Wall Street Insider as well. The other stuff on his blog is all depressingly too real.
Just my $2 cents, but I’m inclined to let this play out. Of course we know Republican politicians won’t dare argue against this particular narrative ™ for fear of being labeled Klan members. And it’s been established conservatives already hate women.
But…it was this kinda shit that inflamed the Tea Party and gave us 2010. The town halls were a catalyst, but it was when Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, et all started with the “un- American, terrorist, nazi” crap that Mom & Dad were telling the kids, “We can’t go to your soccer tournament this weekend. Nanna & Grandpa will take you. We’re road tripping 14 hours to DC with 20 of our friends to attend a Tea Party rally. Also, here’s some poster board & markers. We need you to make us some signs for us. Have fun with it.”
Maybe I’m wrong. Hope not.
I don’t have to get excited about Mittens, but I can get excited about whoopin’ some ass in Senate races.
I think the clear lesson here is that Latinos should keep their eyes peeled for roving bands of Democrats looking to string them up and ask questions later.
Black Rapper Calls For Race Riots Over Trayvon Martin Killing
The Black Panthers have changed their bounty to only cover a “legal citizens arrest.”
This shit is straight out of Amos & Andy. Its going to set race relations back 50 years.
The funny thing about the hoodie is that the only reason Zimmerman mentioned it was to explain why he wasn’t sure of the race of the kid.
And by funny I mean fucked up as shit.
By the way, if you’ve never spent much time in Chicago, you’d enjoy reading about this guy’s history.
I wonder if he has any connection to the Black Panthers? Ever do any jail time on weapons charges? Okay, I don’t really wonder.
Here’s a fun quote from Mr. Rush:
Here’s another:
Geez. I sure hope Obama has never taken these sorts of statements to heart and then felt the need to overcompensate. Because that would sorta be the opposite of post-racial, I’m thinking.
yea baracky’s sol in the 100% slave blood competition
More:
Sounds like ole Bobby is still gangstah.
I wonder — okay, again, I don’t actually wonder — if any of this history was related in the news stories about Mr. Rush’s historic hoodie protest?
No? See. That’s odd, isn’t it? The proper use of weapons and the Black Panthers have become part of this story yet a guy with a personal history involving both stages a protest and it doesn’t warrant a mention.
Hmmm… odd. I have absolutely no idea what to make of that sort of journalistic omission.
Oh man.
That’s too perfect.
The next time I’m forced to fill out a form that asks my race, I’m checking “Other”, and writing in Recalcitrant White.
I’m sure it’s just an oversight, bh. Not.
Bobby Rush is the guy who basically called out Obama as a punk-ass bitch back in the day. So, stopped clocks and all.
Heh. Lamont, I wrote in “human” on our last census form.
oh biz as usual for the mbm. just regurgitate the proggtard talking points.
I actually was surprised when I went through the first few news hits at Google and they didn’t even refer to Rush as controversial or firebrand or some other euphemism.
“Rev” Jackson got caught on a hot mic “snatchin’ Barry’s nuts”, if I remember.
Glad to see it’s all water under the bridge.
I am going to start answering race with “white caucasion” just to remove all doubt.
Not even as a stroke victim? Sheesh, a powerman can’t catch a break.
Here’s an OT anecdote. When I first got to the U of C, Carol Moseley Braun was running for Senate and they were making a big push for her on campus. I remember hearing her speak and asking an older local I knew if she wasn’t the worst politician of all time.
He just laughed.
Unknown to either of us, Barack Obama had just started at our law school that same year.
He was right to have laughed at me.
If I had Grandparents, they’d look just like David & Elaine McClain.
I’m sure Obama has called them to express support, urge calm to a “certain public”, and make sure all is well.
If not…well the McClain’s may be hard to find.
Ya know, trying to live below the radar in a shitty motel and all.

Ha! That implies you may have partial knowledge of an “academic transcript” bh.
Secret Service knocks on your door in 3…2…1…
you should be proud to have such a distinguished constitutional scholar like b. hussein obama on your campus
I think I’ve talked about this before but I don’t know a single person who remembers seeing Obama on campus. As a not-particularly-exceptional undergrad I met and socialized with more than one Nobel Prize winner but Obama is just this big blank at the U of C. Who took his classes? Who ever had a beer with him at Jimmy’s? Who remembers him taking his TAs for pizza at the Med?
No one.
He was probably busy writing one of his books, bh.
Heh, Geoff just sent an email that implies his “teaching” was exactly like his books, B Moe.
Give me a sec… okay. From Ann Barnhardt’s joint, via Geoff (it’s rather long, sorry if you’re on a smartphone):
Just imagine if there was a functioning press in this country. Just imagine it.
No one.
Ah, that don’t mean nothin’. So, he didn’t physically exist between Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard. Plus, he had different names and stuff. Everybody does that. Also, pardon me sir, am I on the right road to Manchuria?
Ok, that last part was mostly for the Alex Jones/ Paul bots.
Mostly.

i meant baracky there ‘ “stark contrast” to mittens.” oh tough to keep the lies straight.
Shabazz !!!!
Isn’t that what Billy Batson would holler to turn into Captain Marvel?
Isn’t Shabazz the name that Malcom X’s kids call themselves by? Are these the same crew or shirttail relatives?
newrouter,
What if Rubio was our own Manchurian? Gave Romney’s West Wing the finger for four years, ran to his fiscal/Constitutional right and set himself up for Rubio/Ryan (or Thune, or Jindal) 2016.
A man can dream.
I’m willing to bet that Ryan is gonna endorse Romney, too, before very long.
If it’s in the general, I won’t hold it against him. If it’s after the Wisco primary but before the general, I’ll give him the stinkeye. If it’s before then? Cheese-tears, my friends. Cheese-tears.

Nah. I think “The Shabazz” was the next product up after the “ShamWow” and “The Slap Chop”, but then that Vince guy went on a meth bender in south Florida and punched a hooker.
It happens.
if the entire barackycare is struck down the reason to vote mittens is struck down too. unless mittens starts talking about liberty and freedom the mittens doesn’t have my vote in november. oh and sorry for the arrangement of my previous post. black panthers, noi, southside of chitown own baracky.
Speaking of which, I’ve been doing a bit of politicking for our theocratic, big-government-loving Santorum and it’s been rough.
The argument that people seem most receptive towards involves laying out the various problems in the country (high gas, inflation, unemployment, slow growth, all that) and how that means Obama doesn’t have a chance in hell so the whole electability thing is moot. Then it’s a matter of trust. Romney or Santorum.
Ehhh, like I said, that’s the argument people are most receptive to but I don’t think it’s gonna carry the day.
Maybe next go around we’ll learn some lessons from this. 1) Don’t fight other good folks to be the Not Romney and instead just take him out first and 2) don’t take one for the team when your team is at odds with the movement. Better to take one for the movement maybe.
Thune’s spent too much time in the leadership.
“2) don’t take one for the team when your team is at odds with the movement.”
maybe the sweater vest wised up to the manipulations of the bush gang? go marco “help us with the illegal alien vote” rubio. and perry with his heartless comment. the whole gop establishment needs to go.
you be stupid. romney is the gop statist’s guy and that dude would be out of there
I think putting 2 in context and repenting of the error would have helped Santorum’s cause (e.g. Against his instincts/better judgement, he supported Specter over Toomey and that was both a huge mistake and a learning experience).
As you’re a googling sort, nr, a question I have is whether or not Barry ever used NOI security back in the 90s. Lots of South Side black politicians have from time to time.
It’d be interesting to find out if the same sort of Fruit of Islam types who killed Brother Malcolm for Brother Farrakhan ever worked for a little known Illinois state senator.
As to 1, that’s rather tricky isn’t it? I mean, if you’re the guy to take out The Guy to Beat, and The Guy’s supporters know it, they sure as hell aren’t going to warm to you, are they? On the other hand, if you’re the guy who took out The Guy to Beat, the fence sitters might move in your direction because now you’re The New Guy.
Nah, LYBD is a joker. A talented one at that.
Bh, how is the politicing going? All y’all Wiscos got be sick to death of politicing by now. I think I would have torn my phone out of the wall (assuming I still had a wall phone) along with tearing my hair out.
well the “journalists” in chitown in the 1990’s would. but this ain’t “birth control” so the “journalists” ain’t interested. baracky suxs and they know it.
Well, towards 1, I’ve been complaining about that for months and I think the way this has played out sorta makes my case for me.
Towards 2, I don’t want to overstate it because I have my problems with Santorum but I have problems with everyone. Take Ryan or Daniels, for example. I have problems with them. So… well, this is what happens when they trade horses and make sausage. It’s a human thing really. It’s just how we are even under the best possible system. Muddled, taking half-measures, misstepping, being less than totally brilliant and perfect at all moments.
time to tell the bush family to go to hell
Honestly? It’s not going so well, leigh.
I don’t see Santorum reversing momentum here. He had a good interview on a big radio show yesterday with a friendly host and I was hoping that might give a bit of juice but I wasn’t feeling it on the phone today.
Don’t see us even beating expectations here now.
Don’t see us even beating expectations here now.

That’s the human condition newrouter. If you don’t like it, change sides and try to do something about it. [grin]
I agree with you about staying out the Bushes, however.
Heh. As I instinctively equate Lutheran and German I can’t rail on those dirty Martinists (don’t know any Lutheran smears so I just invented that) without feeling like I’m also railing beer and brats and… the Packers.
railing against beer and brats…
That’s “stay out the bushes” yo.

That is a great find, Geoff.
Neighborhood watch run by black supremacists* in the Ayers/Obama area? I don’t seem to recall Barry talking about this.
(On a personal note, you could see the clear difference between the losers hawking The Final Call and the Fruit of Islam fanatics. If he’s calling them by the right name and as “[Farrahkan’s] security force”, I’m guessing that Ayers wasn’t confused by the fact that they were wearing bowties and abstaining from pork. Sounds like he knows the deal.)
*Yes, they’re black supremacists. Read Haley’s Malcolm X or just talk to a crazy dude on the street about the wall of knowledge created by the Caucasus Mountains or the mothership.
Mitt campaigned for Rubio in his Senate race as he did Nikki Haley and Christine O’Donnell and got their endorsements too. I expected this.
Remember this 2010 “Neighborhood Watch” squabble?

Nah, I’m gonna keep showering, Danger. And I’m going to continue not releasing album after album of fantastic pop music.
I could though. Don’t doubt me.
bh,
Glad to hear about the showering pledge but isn’t “fantastic pop music” a bit of an oxymoron?
I guess I count The Beatles as pop music, Danger. It was certainly popular, right?
I’ll personally vouch for fantastic.
Why does the word “projection” accurately describe progressive antics so well?
*Shabazz !!!! Isn’t that what Billy Batson would holler to turn into Captain Marvel?*
Had a good chuckle reading this. Though I think it would have been more appropriate if Teth Adam yelled “Shabazz” when he turned into Black Adam.
This didn’t take long.
I noticed another dog that isn’t barking: why isn’t the press demanding the release of the autopsy results?
This happened a month ago; I have a hard time believing the work isn’t done already. More importantly, it doesn’t even seem to be a topic of discussion, suggesting to me that someone’s let them know the results won’t be released, ever.
Now, the police can’t unilaterally release the records (minor, privacy), and neither can Zimmerman’s lawyers — who may not even have access to them, since he’s not been charged with anything. So…
[…] Jeff Goldstein ever so kindly manages to wrap one of my outrages in a neat little bow this morning as he note the Obama administration saying that Republicans are politicizing Trayvon Martin’s death. You read that right. Yes. Republicans. It is they who are ‘politicizing’ Martin’s death […]
The funeral director was on Nancy Grace (yeah, I know) saying that he saw nothing to indicate Martin had fought Zimmerman—before admitting he was not a forensic expert and that the autopsy incision had obscured where the entrance wound was on Martin’s chest.
So, given that nothing burger, I’d like to know when the ME releases her account. Probably when toxicology tests are completed, so another week or two.
So, Corrine Brown must be a Republican. Save yourself a lot of blather and just scroll to about 5:55 in this video.
The amazing thing is that this is a CNN interview.
I sincerely doubt that even if Zimmerman should spend some time in jail, he never will. These idiot race baiters coupled with media malfeasance have assured there’s no way Zimmerman will ever get a fair trial.
@7:37
So they already released the body for burial?
Yep — the autopsy report is complete. Can’t see how it couldn’t be — does it take a month to get the toxicology results, leigh?
Corrine just got confused as to the sex, race, age and number who died.
Sorry for the tardy reply, Rob.
Toxicology reports can take upwards of six weeks (remember Michael Jackson’s or Anna Nichole Smith’s tox screens?) They will test for anything and everything. For instance, if a presumptive test (usually blood or urine), tests positive for opiates, they will then order confirmatory testing (tissues) to ferret out what kind. That is the reason that toxicology is so time consuming and generally irrefutable. Pisses off the families, but death certificates need to be exact.
OK, but any physical results would have been finished by now.
Mainly, I’m thinking of the idiots claiming Trayvon(tm) was shot in the back — if there were evidence of that, the ME would have already come to that conclusion.
The cops and the DA have the intitial autopsy report and they are not obliged to share it with us.
Was the funeral (if he had one) open casket? That would put the lie to his being shot in the back of the head. A 9mm gunshot wound to the head isn’t pretty and the funeral director I mentioned above, never mentioned a head wound. So, going on that, I would submit that a head shot is hyperbole to fire up the masses.
I did read that Trayvon™ had been shot once in the chest (below the sternum? I don’t recall) and that he and Zimmerman were indeed struggling over possession of the gun which jammed accounting for there being only one shot and no more in the chamber, but a full magazine. Zimmerman was lucky to get off one shot before he got his brains beat out, as he was woefully unprepared for Martin’s blitz attack.
There are a number of flashplayer videos circulating that show Zimmerman shooting Martin in the back of the head from a distance or alternatively, shooting him point blank from a distance and not while in a struggle on the ground. But they all seem to be produced by independent entities with no knowledge of the incident other than the tabloid type reports and gossip.
“. . . he and Zimmerman were indeed struggling over possession of the gun . . .”
This claim would have arisen where? And from what original source?
“Hyperbole” being polite-speak for “inflammatory bullshit”.
It’s Jesse Jackson’s group, BTW, that’s pushing that BS.
[…] or evidence, the Left is not going to allow that to happen, as Jeff Goldstein points out there is a tragedy to exploit for political gain and Democrats cannot resist. Nor can they resist, apparently playing the second […]
