George Zimmerman definitely wasn't racist, right?

Probably make the assumption the the right are ignorant, racist, old white guys. While the left are young, hip, smart, educated, open minded people of color, and the smarter white guys.

Except for the words in bold, yes...... That tendency does in fact exist.

Your extreme bias is showing. The right this, the right that. Probably make the assumption the the right are ignorant, racist, old white guys. While the left are young, hip, smart, educated, open minded people of color, and the smarter white guys.

You are right about Rush and the rest. A co-worker listens to that shit, and believes it absolutely. I can't believe people actually listen to those assholes.

I don't know too many people that fall into the far right or far left categories, most are somewhere in the middle. I just can't get into the 2 party hate system.

You make far, far too many assumptions about me, which seems to be a common theme on here.

I was just rattling Bay Areans cage, we do that once in awhile.

There is a 2-party hate system, brought about by politicians and talking heads, but the Left is far, far less populated with haters than the Right, which is reflected in the level of coverage and support by the talking heads on both sides.

It's a shame that so many people have ultra-biased perceptions of the other side, whipped up by endless propaganda.

There you go again, the right has more haters. How, or why, do you come to this conclusion? I know plenty of people, of both persuasions, and most of them, don't seem to hate anyone. Yet you insist there are more "haters" on the right. Because of the idiots on the radio? I know 1guy, that listens to, and believes those guys. 1 guy. I also know a liberal or two, that admit to hating conservatives, why (?), i don't know, it's just a political viewpoint, nothing to hate anyone about.
 
It's a form of orthodoxy in its own right. That's what's so funny about it. People leave their little towns across the country to come to SF or Berkeley and become newly-minted bigots of anything that challenges the narrative. that's not hatred, it's Enlightenment.

Look at the economics, it's self-evident. Why do you think somebody like Rush Limbaugh can be paid $90 Million/years? That kind of money wouldn't be there if there wasn't an audience for him, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, Fox News, etc., etc.

When was the last time you ventured to other parts of the country? Trust me, there is plenty of hate directed that them there liberals in California who are ruining the country.

When you chase after someone, challenge them to a fight and then get the worse end of a fist fight, you are not getting "cold cocked". You are entitled to your opinions, but not your own facts.

It doesn't matter. For him. For Amanda Knox. For OJ. For Robert Wagner.

Periodically, we all decide that judges and juries are not useful to our narratives. They just MUST be wrong because we know better. It works in all directions. The Rosenbergs. Alger Hiss. Whatever.

Like Eldo said, let it go..

And my point remains, asking snarkily "...Zimmerman wasn't racist, right?" is just kinda trolly and pointless. It unleashes the dogs of sanctimony but just adds another chapter to this dude's troubled life and cosmically poor judgment. Not that this latest exploit wasn't somehow noteworthy, given the new bans on flags and such....

His actions regarding the kitsch have not proven that he believes non-white people are inferior. Just that he is trying to make a buck pandering to those who do. People profiteer on stupidity all the time without believing a word of what they present. that was the whole zeitgeist of Colbert, right? And he's gotten rich doing it....

You don't have to take him anywhere expensive, he's a cheap date, just give him a laced pudding pop. :p

Ohhhh... you meant the more nefarious meaning of "Take him out..."

Not sure how you can blame the laws and the jury for interpreting them correctly.
