Consider that if he'd stalked and killed a white man, they'd be trying to bomb Mexico now — but after doing it to a black youth, he's a hero.<br /><br />So, all you race-baiters… I mean, all you ethnic minorities… well, same thing. Here's the modest proposal: Just find someone to stalk and kill who's in an even more despised group than your own.<br /><br />If you're Chinese-American, kill a Mexican-American.<br />If you're Mexican, kill an African-American.<br />If you're African-American, kill somebody who might be Muslim.<br />And if you might be Muslim, snuff an atheist.<br /><br />Presto!

Decidedly more lax, as he happily demonstrates on a regular basis.<br /><br />But it's not about whether Zimmerman's a racist; it's about the racists who gather around him like a swarm of flies on dung. When Tinsley was slapdashing this off two weeks ago, he couldn't have known, for example, that <a href="http://gawker.com/cable-news-top-zimmerman-defender-is-a-violent-crimina-1066311402" rel="nofollow">Gawker would be taking a good look at Frank Taaffe.</a> You know Bruce would never take that look himself, just like he never seems to have any comment about Zimmerman's brother's on-air behavior.

If Holder sues him for libel the way he deserves, he gets to squawk about the New World Order persecuting him as a Twoof Teller; if nobody pushes back, the Great Wad are left thinking he might have some sort of a point. (Besides, I mean, the one that's the reason his mama always told him to wear a hat.) The only possible losing scenario is if he cares about his immortal soul, and that's been traded from True Father to Rupe the Murdochodile to the Koch brothers to the late God knows whom; I doubt it could pick him out of a police lineup.Neo Tuxedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455041641080873400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-6128077706378655902013-08-08T08:39:43.180-07:002013-08-08T08:39:43.180-07:00If that happens, TOGGG!, then newspapers all acros...If that happens, TOGGG!, then newspapers all across the country will have one of three choices:<br />1) drop <i>Doonesbury</i>;<br />2) find another conservative strip to "balance" it;<br />3) accept the reality, long since obvious to the rest of us, that there is no amount of bending over, backwards or frontwards, for conservatives they can do that will stop the professionally butthurt from branding them as "the liberal media" and thus arms of the International Communist Conspiracy.<br /><br />And don't tell those people that the International Communist Conspiracy threw in the sponge in '89; they know that the International Communist Conspiracy can only be defeated by Jesus riding on a nine-headed horse, with a sword in his mouth like Roronoa Zolo.
