re: #161 moderatelyradicalliberal

Buck and the rightwing media are proof that modern conservatism is simply a virulent reaction to whatever is perceived to be modern liberalism. If they think liberals are for it, then they are against it. The way that these people have bent themselves into knots trying to justify the actions of Zimmerman and the Sanford PD has been like a bizarre social experiment.

There were a few days after the story started to break when it seemed like conservatives would actually not behave like reactionary cavemen. Those days are long gone.

Every single right wing blog, website, and pundit has been wholeheartedly smearing Trayvon Martin and finding excuses to justify George Zimmerman’s actions. The latest talking point, which I expect to show up here at LGF any moment, is that “nobody ever talks about the countless black on black crimes.”

Yes, all of a sudden, right wingers are terribly concerned about black on black crime. I’d say it’s despicable, but it’s just standard right wing reactionary behavior to deny any racism at all among their fellow race warriors, and try to turn it around into an indictment of black people.
