Maxine "Dumber than Dirt" Waters is at it again. This proud member of that stellar little group fondly, or not so fondly, referred to as the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) on Wednesday called the shooting of Trayvon Martin nothing short of a hate crime. "I, personally, really truly believe this is a hate crime," said Ms. Waters in a joint interview with none other than the CBC Chairman, Emanuel "Ward" Cleaver and where else but on the Communist News Network (CNN). And so it should come as no surprise that the CBC has now called for a thorough and exhaustive investigation into Martin's death based on its concern that racial profiling was involved. It has also called into question Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law, which allows an individual who feels threatened to "stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force."
I'm sure we're all aware by now that Martin, a 17-year-old African-American, is the kid who was recently shot and killed in a Florida gated community by Neighborhood Watchman, George Zimmerman, who has been identified as being a "White-Hispanic", whatever the Hell that is. His name has now become the official battle cry for all manner of Democrat, and Democrat front group, in their effort to raise money. Mr. Zimmerman, a registered Democrat, said he was acting in self-defense after the teen punched him and smashed his head into the pavement, which has been corroborated by witnesses, at least according to local reports. Zimmerman has not been arrested nor has he been charged with a crime, which has caused many liberals to go nearly apoplectic. His lawyer continues to strongly deny that race played any part in the incident.
So out comes old "Dumb as Dirt" Waters and her trusty sidekick "Ward" Cleaver condemning the "Stand Your Ground" law, a version of which now exists in more than 20 states. "The evidence really points to a fact that you had a gung-ho so-called Neighborhood Watchman who wanted to be a cop, basically, who was following a young black man who was unarmed and had committed no crime," Waters said. "That's pretty stiff evidence that this is possibly a hate crime" Why is it that every time a black is killed it's always a hate crime? Does that include black on black crime as well? Or can we assume that blacks don't hate other blacks? I'm so confused. Like Barry, these people appear just a little too quick to act as both judge and jury at a time when we still have yet to get all of the facts. But facts don't matter to these people.
Martin's parents, who were on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, were also very quick to suggest that race was the primary motivator in the confrontation between their son and Zimmerman. Their lawyer said they have no doubt racial profiling was involved. That's a pretty ballsy statement, don't ya think? I am curious about something here. On what, exactly, do they base their little assertion? Race is not primary motivator every time someone black is on the receiving end of something like this. The incident has sparked national debate and outrage from many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, as well as being the source of numerous accusations that some are attempting to use Martin's death for political profit. And despite denials, there are many groups on the left who are, in fact, using the incident as essentially nothing more than a cash cow.
We have heard from Rush Limbaugh along with many others, who have now accused Barry "Almighty", and with very good reason, of taking advantage of Martin's death by selling such things as "Obama 2012" sweatshirt hoodies as part of his campaign merchandise. To me that seems to be all a bit unseemly and quite tacky. It's just not the type of behavior that you would expect to see coming from a president, let alone a black president. But hey, he is a Democrat first, an African-American second and an American last, and probably least. It's all about raising money any way you can. And if the death of a potentially innocent black kid can be used to your advantage, all the better. I think we're seeing that there is nothing that Barry will not stoop to saying or doing in his effort to gain re-election.
But of course we have old "Ward" Cleaver pushing back against such accusations that anyone on the left is exploiting Martin's death. Spewing drivel reminiscent of earlier times he said, "The issue is the low esteem in which black life is held, particularly black males." Look if there's an esteem problem, it’s the very low self-esteem that black's themselves seem to possess. "Any time somebody is forcefully stepped up and speaking out against injustice, there are those who say they are using it for their own purposes," Cleaver added, "We have always had to face people making those accusations since the civil rights movement began; that's not going to stop." On Tuesday, Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, Fulton?, urged House Democrats on a forum organized by member of the House Judiciary Committee to use Martin's death as an opportunity to prevent similar incidents. "Trayvon was our son, but Trayvon was your son," she said.
What's really kinda hilarious here is the fact that "Team Barry" has come out and, in an effort to score some cheap political points, has actually accused the racist Republicans of politicizing this kid's death when in fact the only ones spending an inordinate amount of time and energy doing just that are any number of sleaze-bag Democrats. Especially, black Democrats, including Barry "Almighty" himself. "His Republican opponents have jumped all over him because they do want to play politics with this issue. The President spoke from his heart on this, it was trying to emphasize with some parents who had just lost a child. By any measure, this was a tragedy and we need to let the investigation take its course," said Stephanie Cutter, some bimbo identified as being Barry's Deputy Campaign Manager, on MSNBC. "People have to stop politicizing it," she added. "It's no surprise that some of our Republican opponents are trying to make an issue with this. But the President spoke from the heart and we need to let the investigation take its course." This stupid accusation simply doesn't hold water. I mean how many Republicans are out there using this tragedy as a fundraising tool? Ah, that would be NONE. Meanwhile, how many Democrats are? I rest my case!
