4.  Jezebel suggests that George Zimmerman’s old Myspace page might pose problems for his case because he describes women as “hoes” and Mexicans as “thugs”.  Did this chick see Trayvon Martin’s twitter feed?

    “expressed a lack of sympathy for women who have abortions after having sex without birth control.”
    Of course. Pro Choice comes before conception.

    Zimmerman describes “Mexicans as “thugs” Hispanics hate being called Hispanic. Hispanics hate each other. Cubans don’t like Mexicans, Puerto Ricans don’t like Cubans Peruvians don’t like Colombians and etc. It’s racism.

    @George

    Amen brother. Amukanz think there is something called an “Hispanic Community.” It is a ridiculous fiction. They are split along ethnic and sometimes racial and class lines. Because Aurkanz are lazy they just lump them in as “hispanics.”

    As far as Zimmerman’s comments; are they true? Was it his observation?

    Reading Jezebel makes my eyes bleed. The commenters are the worst. They think a 7 year old myspace page is more indicative of someone character than a current twitter account. And they still believe George walked up to Trayvon and shot him for no reason other than Trayvon being black.

    Chuck, you might be interested in this thinking. I am.

    also, from my boots on the ground perspective, I find young women (20-25) much more Pro-Life than older generations.

    Actually no it’s not racism just a mild form of national chauvinism. And there is no evidence Zimmerman made categorically hostile comments about Mexicans. He was apparently referring to a particular type of younger Mexican male that he unfortunately had encountered. He wasn’t referring to all Mexicans everywhere.

    But Jezebel, Marcotte etal …the Chuckster does like the abuse. Being a waiter and having to deal with the public then come home and read the White lunatic left on-line.

    I’d rather be on my 5th tour of Helmand province.

    I don’t see how the judge would even let Zimmerman’s Facebook page get into evidence. It would have to be relevant to an issue in the case, and not just some kind of character evidence, and I don’t see what relevance it has.

    Don’t Re-nig in 2012 does that somehow have nonihtg whatsoever to do with the tea party?? Also, how is it patriotic in the tea party’s eyes to make Obama a 1-term president above all else before any progress in job creation and economic recovery? Most likely, if Obama were to bring down unemployment to 0%, revive the economy, and restore America’s image in the world’s eyes, the Republicans, the Tea Party, FOX/Faux News and the rest of their ilk would STILL be unimpressed because they can’t wrap their heads around the first African-American/biracial POTUS succeeding, at least in some ways. After all, the Right’s fearless leader Limbaugh wanted Obama to fail from square one.Getting back to the Trayvon murder, since he has been cited to just have a bag of Skittles and an iced tea from a convenience store, the stand your ground law doesn’t pan out at all for Zimmerman, not to mention that a hoodie doesn’t pose a threat since you can see one’s face in it, as opposed to the hoodies the KKK wears On a personal note, Trayvon being armed with a bag of Skittles sort of reminds me of when I was on a movie date 10 years ago with a lady friend, where I made a flirty comment to her and she punched me fairly lightly on the shoulder with a bag of Skittles that didn’t make me angry, or much less want to kill/murder her since I’m better than that and don’t have a history of domestic violence against women Now, if only Zimmerman would MAN-UP and come clean with the truth of how hot under the collar he was that night he went after and murdered Trayvon Martin.
