    ...although if a black President wasn't enough, a mob of blacks, lynching a white guy would certainly confirm we've stepped through the looking glass on race relations.

    Here's a question: If it does and he is successful, do you think he settles to where the judgement and award are kept confidential? Honestly forgetting the cash, I think a 5 minute intro to the nightly news and Today show where NBC has to fall on its sword and give a statement about journalistic integrity and how the lack there of can destroy lives would be justified.

    Did Trayvon have codeine? No he didn't.

    And he was told to use Robitussin. Which is used as a substitute for the codeine.

    Yep.

    If they were actually going to sue that lawsuit would have been filed before the trial had even started.

    And if they wanted to wait until after the trial it would have been filed on Monday morning after the Saturday verdict.

    There is no need to wait so long to file a lawsuit.

    Y'know... it's a good thing Tom Brokaw retired when he did. He would have ended up going the way of Dan Rather if he hadn't.

    Never happen. Fucking never. You think Statists enjoy mocking Fox news right now? You're right. You think they want to give even a hair's-breadth of a justification to Americans to mock their favored propaganda outlets in kind?

    Gun Control Group Wants Ted Nugent Removed From NRA Board After "Racist" Comments

    Not exactly sure what part of that is racist, unless you happen to be looking for something to SAY is racist, just 'cause you don't like the guy.

    Or unless juts calling a black person racist is now racist.

    I don't know about racist, but that shit about " dope smoking, racist gangsta wannabe" is exactly the sort of needlessly divisive and hyperbolic rhetoric that makes cases like this such a study in willful human ignorance instead of any real desire for justice.

    Pejorative it was, but no more than the shit that's been spouted about Zimmerman, and a tad more accurate in light of things learned lately. I put it in the category of frustrated outburst.

    And the looking-for-outrage crowd cries "racism!!" ["he's a WITCH!"] at a harshly worded, though informed, opinion 'cause it sounds mean toward the poor dead gangsta wannabe. :cry: THERE's the divisiveness - the people shrieking "racist" at the drop of a hoody.

    The NRA should definitely listen to what a gun control group wants.

    The NRA is doing more for gun control than any other group.

    Ya know that juror that ABC interviewed, the one that said that Zimmerman was guilty? Yeah apparently she didn't. Looks like ABC doctored the interview.

    Gee where have we seen this before?

    ABC should be taken to task, but naturally they won't. :garamet:

    She should have known better than to be interviewed by ABC, CBS, NBC, or MSNBC.

    It's garamet journalism.

    Un-fucking-believable.

    I'm becoming convinced that some in the media WANT racial unrest.

    I'm also getting to the point where, whenever I hear something from the mainstream media, I'm not going to accept it at face value. The synopsis I got--several times--from ABC News was "Juror thinks Zimmerman got away with murder." And, now, it turns out that's NOT what she thinks.

    I'm becoming convinced as well. Has news actually taken the step from reporting the news to making the news? Is there some guy like Elliot Carver in Tomorrow Never Dies?
