If there's an aquittal I don't think there will be any rioting, despite the rightwing's prompting and hope to make it happen.

Politically, it's supercharging those with Obama Derangement Syndrome
yikes!
double yikes!

Connective tissue: The story began when George Zimmerman profiled a black youth wearing a hoodie ---> The right wing media presumes to write the end of the story by profiling the black community at al.

Sick, cynical bastards.

And that includes the President. A year ago he was asked by a reporter to comment on the death of Trayvon Martin. He answered something to the effect of "if I had a son he probably would have looked just like him" ….. and that was it. One emotional, introspective comment. But the wingnut media spins it as race-baiting and they're off and running for their guns.

Actually, thse who claim that Zimmerman racially profiled Martin are, themselves, profiling . Thinking that since he is "white" and Martin is "black" that Zimmerman considers him to be a bad guy. But that is okay. I say that it's natural

When Obama said this last year, I never thought it was a big deal. I never took it as getting race into it, because, what he said was true. If Obama had a son he would look something like Martin although their facial shapes are remarkably different.

On the first "yikes", the last paragraph is wrong. If Martin had shot Zimmerman, a Hispanic, there would be no media storm at all. This is not , just my opinion, but many other more knowledgable folks also .

Most every registered conservative republican. The GOP establishment. Every Teaparty Congressional member, and certainly every TeaParty candidate for office. Every second-tier right wing talk show host who echo his every word. And of course, Clear Channel.
