The new Jesse Helms. Conservatives love this shitkicker. |
This asshole politico is the scourge of the liberals and the rational. He is really hell bent on taking the mantle of that old ass bigot Jesse Helms.
Republicans: You're on the verge of losing everything. Continue on. Please do so!
The racist right can't stand Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin. The racist right continues to smear the name of the deceased teenager Trayvon Martin.
In the minds of these irrational people, they believe Trayvon Martin's parents are "money hungry NIGGERS" who want the world to believe that "THUG" is an "ANGEL".

More White people dressing up in Blackface as murder victim Trayvon Martin. |
After the most polarizing court trial, many conservative agitators believe that George Zimmerman was "vindicated". Of course, being vindicated means that he got away with murder. Murdering a teenager who didn't do anything but get an ice tea and a bag of Skittles.
Many victims of gun violence have went to Congress to pressure Florida's governor Rick Scott to ease up on the "STAND YOUR GROUND" laws.
Sybrina Fulton's appearance at Congress was to be a rally cry for all mothers who lost children to gun violence. But in the mind of that annoying ass Stallmigo, it's just some BLACK BITCH who had no business talking about guns.
AtlantaBlackStar reports that the controversial U.S. Senator Ted Cruz made headlines again when he explained to Sybrina Fulton, mother of slain teen Trayvon Martin, at a Senate hearing yesterday that the
“Stand Your Ground” laws are not racist and, in fact, are beneficial to African-Americans.
But Fulton fired back in an appearance on Rev. Perm’s MSNBC show, “PoliticsNation,” saying that there was “some disconnect” in Cruz’s remarks and he is “not aware of the real law and how it affects us as a community.”
This perception is borne out of a Quinnipiac poll released over the summer, showing that a majority of Blacks oppose the self-defense law, while a majority of whites support it.
The Quinnipiac University poll revealed that white voters support “Stand Your Ground” laws by a margin of 57 percent to 37 percent, while Black voters oppose them by the same margin. As for political divisions, Republicans support the laws 75 percent to 19 percent, while Democrats oppose them 62 percent to 32 percent.
Overall, the nation backed the laws by a margin of 53 percent to 40 percent. More than 30 states have such laws on the books.
The poll mirrored previous polls showing a majority of whites supporting George Zimmerman’s acquittal in the murder of Trayvon Martin, while a majority of Blacks opposed it.
On his show, Rev. Perm offered numbers from the Tampa Bay Times to rebut Cruz’s claim that “Stand Your Ground” is helpful to Blacks.
Rev. Perm put up a graph showing that when the victim is Black or Hispanic, the killer walks free 78 percent of the time, but when the victim is white, the killer walks free only 56 percent of the time.
“‘Stand Your Ground’ is good law for minorities? He’s wrong,” Rev. Perm said. “The numbers tell the story.”
Cruz first offered his condolences for Fulton’s loss. But after defending the trial by jury process that found Zimmerman not guilty of murder, Cruz said, “the subject of this hearing, the “Stand Your Ground” laws, was not a defense that Mr. Zimmerman raised. So this entire hearing—the topic of this hearing—is not the issue on which that trial turned.”

Sybrina Fulton responds to the Stallmigo's criticism. |
Although the Zimmerman defense team didn't explicitly use a “Stand Your Ground” hearing, it was discussed obsessively in the months leading up to the trial, it was included in the jury instructions and was something Zimmerman was well-versed on when he pursued Trayvon.
“We know that some in our political process have a desire to exploit that tragic, violent incident for agendas that have nothing to do with that young man who lost his life,” Cruz continued. “We have seen efforts to undermine the verdict of the jury and, more broadly, to inflame racial tensions that I think are sad and irresponsible.”
“No one could reasonably believe that Stand Your Ground laws protect those in the African-American communities who are victims of violent crimes,” Cruz said. “A great many African-Americans find themselves victims of violent crime and have asserted this defense to defend themselves, defend their families, defend their children.”
Cruz even tried to pull President Obama into his argument, pointing out that “in 2004 a state senator in Illinois by the name of Barack Obama co-sponsored an expansion of Illinois’ law providing civil immunity for those who use justifiable force to defend themselves” as evidence that similar laws could not possibly be racially biased.
“The notion that ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws are some form of veiled racism may be a convenient political attack,” he said, “but it is not borne out by the facts remotely.”
On Rev. Perm’s show, Fulton said she was taken aback when Cruz said “Stand Your Ground” wasn't part of the trial since she had been hearing everyone talk about it for more than a year.
“It wasn't something that we made up,” she said.
In his mind as well as those in the racist right, it was Trayvon Martin's fault for walking in a neighborhood he wasn't suppose to be. Even though his father lived there, according to the racist right, it's a fucking BLACK TEEN who could commit a crime over there.
After all, they seen pictures of him blowing smoke rings and throwing up the middle finger.
Republicans are hell bent on trying to defeat the president's agenda. One in particular is gun control.
After the horrible tragedy in Newtown, I thought that we can actually get this on the table. I mean the president experience one of the worst tragedies in American history. Surely there could have been something done.
Well this inept Congress is doing nothing memorable. The Republican lawmakers have wasted most of their time trying to repealing Obamacare. They have taken the country through a government shutdown.
They've obsessed over Benghazi, the Healthcare Marketplace website, Fast & Furious and the IRS.
Not concerned about jobs.
Not concerned about the thousands of lives lost to gun violence.
