The New York Daily News only needs to look in the mirror to see the face of racism, from New York Daily News”
George Zimmerman’s brother launched a shocking, racially charged Twitter rant that won’t do the accused murderer any favors.
Older brother Robert Zimmerman Jr. posted a series of tweets Sunday condemning the media and sounding off on race.
But his tweets have ignited a firestorm after he posted a picture comparing Florida teen Trayvon Martin, whom George Zimmerman is charged with murdering in February 2012, with Georgia teen De’Marquise Elkins, one of two accused of fatally shooting a baby and injuring his mother last week in a botched robbery.
Ok Robert Zimmerman, Jr, older brother of George Zimmerman, evidently believes that young black males are violent and prone to crime. So how that make Zimmerman any different than New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg? Well Zimmerman’s activity is constitutionally protected free speech. Whereas Bloomberg thinks his police should stop and frisk of people of whom Bloomberg does not approve. In short, Zimmerman is exercising his constitutional rights. Whereas, Bloomberg does not believe in constitutional rights.
Charlie Rangel is bloody stupid, video:
Rangel has conflated an assault weapons ban with abortion.
In the United States, murder, both being a murder victim and a murder suspect, is a disproportionately black problem. Blacks account for for thirteen percent of the population but for circa both fifty percent of murder victims and murder suspects. The Lame Stream Media, and the New York Daily News, seem to be of the belief that if you are not lily white your murder does not count. from Mike Lupica, New York Daily News:
But what does the President say now to the families of the victims of Sandy Hook, and Aurora, Colo., and all the other victims of mass murders and glory killers in this country? What does he say now that it becomes clear that a ban on assault weapons won’t even be legitimately included in the gun legislation being shaped this week in the U.S. Senate?
Any fool knows that Lanza couldn’t possibly have killed as many children as quickly as he did on the morning of Dec. 14 without an assault weapon in his hands. So how does the President and any other big politician who allows the gun nuts from the National Rifle Association to win again answer the larger question about weapons that make killings like the elementary-school massacre ridiculously easy:
David Kopel, via Reason:
The murderer at Sandy Hook fired 150 shots over a 20-minute period, before the police arrived. In other words, a rate of fewer than 8 shots per minute. This is a rate of fire far slower than the capabilities of a lever-action Henry Rifle from 1862, or a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle from 2010. Indeed, his rate of fire could have been far exceeded by a competent person using very old technology, such as a break-open double-barreled shotgun.
Given the fact that Lanza’s rate of fire was for less than extraordinary, what excuse to Lppica has for supporting DiFi inane ban?
Dianne Feinstien’s wet dream to ban ugly weapons, yet again, has died a well deserved death at the hands of none other than Dirty Harry Reid, from Politico:
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said on Monday that a controversial assault weapons ban will not be part of a Democratic gun bill that was expected to reach the Senate floor next month.
After a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday, a frustrated Feinstein said she learned that the bill she sponsored — which bans 157 different models of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines — wouldn’t be part of a Democratic gun bill to be offered on the Senate floor. Instead, it can be offered as an amendment. But its exclusion from the package makes what was already an uphill battle an almost certain defeat
Feinstein’s AWB never had any steam in the first place.

Reax, William Teach, Pirate’s Cove:
In fact, S.150 is supported by only 21 other Senate Democrats, none of them named Harry Reid, which is a pretty low number considering how quickly Democrats attempted to use the Sandy Hook tragedy to assault 2nd Amendment Rights. Reid also knows that the Some Scary Looking Guns bill will most likely not make it past a filibuster.
I call to question Feinstein’s inference that she was as smart a sixth grader. Would a intelligent sixth grader stake a do or die line in the sand with a mere twenty-one supporters. Feinstien can neither count nor persuade.
Is Candy Crowley entering into her Helen Thomas phase, ugly and nasty? Crowley manages to find sympathy for two convicted rapists, who just so happen to be football players, but expresses nary a word of sympathy for their victims, video:
I wonder if Crowley would have had the same sympathy if the two men were both lacrosse players and white?
Let me be perfectly clear, the democrats jihad like quest for yet more gun control is being spearheaded by idiots, chief among this Dianne Feinstein, (Senator – Mars), from Guns Save Lives:
I’m not a sixth grader. Senator, I’ve been on this committee for 20 years. I was a mayor for nine years. I walked in and I saw people shot. I’ve looked at bodies that have been shot with these weapons. I’ve seen the bullets that implode. In Sandy Hook, youngsters were dismembered.
I’m not a lawyer, but, after 20 years, I’ve been up close and personal to the Constitution. It’s fine you want to lecture me on the Constitution. I appreciate it. Just know I’ve been here a long time.
I respect your views, I ask you to respect my views,

Imploding bullets, otherwise known as bullets that do not wound. Maybe imploding bullets are what are used by Feinstein’s native Martians, but so far as I know, so such thing exist on Planet Earth.

3/14/13 – Sean Hannity invited Ann Coulter on his Thursday night Fox News show to get her take on this morning’s Senate showdown between Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Coulter immediately started slamming Feinstein’s response to Cruz, in which she told the younger Senator that she’s “not sixth-grader” and didn’t need a “lecture on the Constitution.”
Comparing Feinstein to another “I am woman, hear me roar” Democrat, Hillary Clinton, Coulter said “as soon as they get a question they don’t like, they start crying.” She called Feinstein’s Constitutional arguments “preposterous” and proclaimed that Sen. Cruz “nailed her so she said ‘I’m offended.'”

Look maybe on Mars, “I am offended” is a euphemism for stupid:
Has Stephen Green taken one too many shots of vodka? Green flails in his attempt to deal with same-sex marriage, from PJ Media:
The “problem” as I see it — and I put “problem” in quotes because I don’t really see it as one — is how to integrate gays into the broader American experience. They’re out, they’re proud, and they should be. Nobody is forcing anybody back into any closet, or re-criminalizing anyone’s love life, without instituting an authoritarian kind of religious state that is antithetical to American values and liberties.
But legalizing gay marriage isn’t quite the answer. Let me explain.
I never told anybody to adopt the homosexual lifestyle. So don’t make their choice of lifestyle, my problem.
The Catholics have a new Pope, Pope Francis, and is the LSM upset:

Mayor Dumberg’s ban on some sugary drink has done down the drain, from Laura Petrecca, USA TODAY
Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to limit New Yorkers’ sugar consumption and calls it “portion control” not a ban.
A New York State judge says loopholes defeated the purpose A New York State judge has halted the controversial New York City ban on large sugary drinks.
The ban was set to take effect Tuesday
[…]
But on Monday, a judge said no to the rule.
Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling wrote that loopholes “effectively defeat the stated purpose.”
One small victory for common sense in the Empire State.
Aside to Dianne Feinstein the reason ts magazine limits are fine for ducks, is that duck don’;t fight back, and the Second Amendment has nothing to do with duck hunting. God made Men and Colonel Colt made them, and women equal., horrific 911 video (NSFW:

Note that the Indiana woman fought like a smart conservative. One, she ignored Slow Joe Biden’s advice and did not use a shotgun and did not fire two blasts into the air. Two, we did not take Colorado democrat’s advice and try to deter her attacked with a whistle or warm bodily fluids. She had bought the gun that day. Had Indiana had a wating period, the lady could well be dead.
Please, if you are going to use a gun to defend yourself, get to a firing range and get some instruction. The lady waited too long to fireand lucky be alive. As her former boy friend, not is is over.
When Dianne Feinstein’s ( D – California )fellow Californian got Alzheimer’s disease, he made one last public statement, and retired from public life from Bob Owens:
San Francisco’s senior senator has apparently taken a sad psychiatric turn. Always questionably progressive, she’s now also apparently starting to suffer the effects of some sort of degenerative mental condition. Why else would the old girl say something like this?
The time has come, America, to step up and ban these weapons. The other very important part of this bill is to ban large capacity ammunition feeding devices, those that hold more than 10 rounds. We have federal regulations and state laws that prohibit hunting ducks with more than three rounds. And yet it’s legal to hunt humans with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines.
Alas if hunting humans were but legal, Feinstein could fit in a stein
More reax, Moe Lane:
And why is she dumber than soup? It is not entirely because of this errant nonsense:
At a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting on Thursday, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-California) opposed an amendment to her Assault Weapons Ban legislation that would allow military veterans to continue to buy the firearms that would be banned. Feinstein says a veteran may be mentally ill and should be prevented from purchasing firearms.
Give Gabby Giffords credit. She left Congress after her brain damage. For what is Feinst3in waiting, written invitation”
In Colorado democrats wage a unrelenting war on women, and It is official, they all, both men and women , want to see women get raped:
Democrat strategist Zerlina Maxwell has a great solution for preventing rape: instead of women carrying guns, just tell men not to rape. That’ll work, right?
Sean Hannity’s panel last night was discussing a story we reported on yesterday, in which a Colorado Democrat told a rape victim that a gun wouldn’t have helped her. Zerlina responded by saying that the solution wasn’t teaching women to defend themselves, it was teaching men not to rape.
Here’s video of Zerlina’s comments:

If teaching were but the answr4, we should train Colorado’s democrats not to be bone dead stupid.
Hugo Chavez: Dead:
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez was a fighter. The former paratroop commander and fiery populist waged continual battle for his socialist ideals and outsmarted his rivals time and again, defeating a coup attempt, winning re-election three times and using his country’s vast oil wealth to his political advantage.
