In light of the confirmed injuries, I'd like to revive a question that Doc asked MEM earlier in the thread:

What if Zimmerman didn't have a gun and Martin wound up beating him to death? Would you still be blaming Zimmerman for following Martin around?
I don't think that's a reasonable hypothetical. Zimmerman outweighed Martin for starters and by the looks of the video it wasn't all fat. Also while some conservatives have dug up anything and everything that could possibly make Martin look bad, they have yet to turn up any incidents where he attacked another person.


Barring further perceptions of what you consider to be "reasonable" since hypotheticals aren't necessarily meant to fit any such preconceptions--plus all of your assumptions with regards to their weight classes and the likelihood of one getting beat up over another turned out to be wrong--in light of the new evidence, do you care to make any amendments to your position?


So Zimmerman had some minor injuries ...


This from a guy who calls a haircut "rape..."


This from a guy that calls brown people "subhuman..."



Actually, what G-man said, in full context, was that radical muslim Afghans who kill U.S. soldiers --killing the very people who are rebuilding Afghans' country and training an Afghan army, killing U.S. soldiers who defend them against radical Taliban and Al Qaida fanatics, who saw people's heads off, who brutalize women, that Afghan fanatics who kill the people who are trying to pull them out of a radical islamic stone age-- are subhuman.

NOT "brown people" are subhuman.

Specific islamic fanatics who kill people are subhuman.


I frankly didn't fully agree with G-man's comment when he made it. But I still feel you slanderously misrepresented the context.

I don't think we should go in and carpet bomb the whole country. But I do think at this point we should stop training Afghan soldiers who are shooting our own soldiers in the back, and withdraw entirely from Afghanistan as soon as our national security interests and stability allow.

And I think we should reserve the right to invade and/or carpet bomb them in the future, if Afghanistan again harbors terrorism that threatens the United States.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
