| More race-baiting from conservative agitator Matt Drudge. |
I am seriously starting to figure out why conservatism is wrapped around the flag doused in bigotry, hate and vitriol. The Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement are going to cause a rift within the country. The progressive movement is already angry that Florida Republican passed this "Stand Your Ground" law that led to the death of this young man. Progressives are outraged over Rush Limbaugh calling birth control advocate Sandra Fluke a "slut", "a prostitute" and "pay to see the sex tape!" This controversy lead to Rush Limbaugh losing advertising agencies.
I am getting sick and tired of these culture wars. The first Black president and the deep seated hatred from his political foes has driven me to become more engaged in the battle. I want to make this clear! I will not rest until the Republican nominee is defeated in the general election and Barack Obama is reelected as President of The United States.
On to the matter of the killing of these young men. Once again Matt Drudge, professional race-baiter is once again blowing the whistle out of his anal cavity. This article posted below from The Telegraph UK mentions the deaths of James Cooper and James Kouzaris, a year ago. Then teenager, Shawn "Savage" Tyson was arrested for the murder of the two young men. But after a year, the race-baiting Drudge wants to bring up this article because the parents criticize President Barack Obama for not mentioning them.
I send my condolences to the families of James Cooper and James Kouzaris.
I condemn Matt Drudge, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Pat Buchanan, Geraldo Rivera, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, conservatives, white supremacists and Fox News for being who they are! Bitter angry human beings who claim being a "conservative" is a badge of honor. I condemn them for relishing in the divisive culture of political sabotage and misinformation. I condemn those who follow these agitators for the very purpose of trying to rewrite history off the backs of those who struggled for the piece of American pie.
H. Rap Brown once said it: "Violence is American as apple pie!"
Malcolm X once said it: "I Have No Fear Whatsoever of Anybody or Anything!"
The Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement are wrapping their asses and eventually their necks around the American flag in defense of the culture wars.
Parents of murdered British students criticise Barack Obama
The parents of two British students murdered in Florida have criticised President Barack Obama for his lack of compassion over their son's deaths.
Shawn Tyson
By Paul Thompson in Sarasota
His failure to respond to three letters sent to the White House was because there was no "political value" and not worthy of a few minutes of his time.
They spoke out as teenager Shawn Tyson began a life sentence after being found guilty of the murder of James Cooper and James Kouzaris last April.
The 17 year old, who shot the men as they begged for their lives, will die in prison.
His conviction of first degree murder carries an mandatory life sentence without the chance of parole.
The powerfully built teen even looked bored as emotional DVD presentations about the dead men prepared by their grieving parents were shown in court.
Tyson, who has the word 'Savage' tattooed across his chest didn't show a flicker of emotion, slumping in his seat as he was forced to watch a montage of photos showing the victims from early childhood to young men.
Two close friends of the dead men who had attended the eight day trial in Sarasota, Florida. had also delivered highly emotional impact statements to the court prior to the sentencing.
Paul Davies and Joe Hallett spoke of the "living hell" they and others who knew the men had suffered since the murders.
During the eight day trial they had been shown graphic crime scene and autopsy photos shown in court.
Later speaking after Tyson was jailed Davies and Hallett lashed out at Mr Obama saying the deaths of their friends was "not worthy of ten minutes of his time."
Davies said:"We would like to publicly express our dissatisfaction at the lack of any public or private message of support or condolence from any American governing body or indeed, President Obama himself.
"Mr Kouzaris has written to President Obama on three separate occasions and is yet to even receive the courtesy of a reply.
"It would perhaps appear that Mr Obama sees no political value in facilitating such a request or that the lives of two British tourists are not worthy of ten minutes of his time."
The rebuke follows Mr Obama's personal intervention into the shooting in Florida of a young black teenager by a white-Hispanic neighbourhood watch captain.
The death of 17 year old Trayvon Martin has sparked nationwide protests with his supporters claiming he was victim of a racist attack.
Mr Obama entered the controversy last week by saying if he had a son he would have looked like Martin.
The alleged assailant in Martin's death has not been charged with any crime having claimed he was attacked first and used Florida's 'stand your ground' law to shoot in self defence.
The criticism of the US President was made on behalf of the Cooper's parents Stanley and Sandy, from Warwicks, and Peter and Hazel Kouzaris, from Northampton by Davies in a statement read outside the courtroom.
The parents of the two victims did not attend the trial but they had access to the proceedings from a live video feed.
The filmed interview of the Kouzaris's was played to the court while a message from Sandy Cooper was read out by the prosecutor.
The victims close friends delivered an emotional impact statement with Hallett telling Tyson he hoped he would be haunted by his actions.
He told him: "Imagine them being killed. Now try to imagine that they died because someone creept up on them and shot them numerous times for no good reason. Welcome to our world. Every night you go to sleep, every morning you wake up, I want you to think of my friends who you murdered. Their images will be imprinted on your conscience up until your very last breath in life."
SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: BLACKS ARE APPLES AND ORANGES WHEN CRIME IS COMMITTED IN THE MINDS OF CONSERVATIVE AGITATORS! MATT DRUDGE PUTS A STORY OF A YOUNG TEENAGER WHO COMMITTED A CRIME JUST A YEAR AGO AND IS NOW BEING SENTENCED TO PRISON. WHILE GEORGE ZIMMERMAN IS STILL A FREED MAN FOR USING A FIREARM TO KILL AN UNARMED TEENAGER? TO SAY THAT ONE 17-YEAR OLD WHO COMMITTED A TRAGIC MURDER TO TWO INNOCENT HUMAN BEINGS FOR THE SAKE OF JUSTIFYING THE HATRED OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA OR TO SMEAR THE FAMILY OF TRAYVON MARTIN IS DISGUSTING! THE PURPOSE OF THIS STORY IS TO GIVE CONSERVATIVES REASON TO STEREOTYPE BLACKS AS VIOLENT THUGS. THERE'S NOTHING NEW ABOUT THE STRATEGY. IT'S JUST ANOTHER REASON TO NOT VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!
