Guest Post by Karl Denninger
Christians are being beheaded in the Middle East and you have lectured us about the Crusades. Christians have been killed in Charleston and you have preached to us about the National Rifle Association. Christians have now been singled out and murdered in Oregon and mum’s the word. Why?What would you have said, Mr. President, had the victims been Muslims? What would you have said had they been targeted because they were transgender, gay, or wearing a hoodie? Would you have condemned it? Would you have called for hate-crimes legislation? Would you have confronted the ideology that led to the crime? Would you have lectured us about phobias and bigotry?
We already know that, don’t we? Remember Mr. Zimmerman, who I remind you was acquitted of shooting Mr. Martin because he fired in self-defense after having his head bashed against a concrete sidewalk and in response exercised his God-given right to live instead of die at the hand of a thug who attacked him.
You, Mr. President, along with many others, first tried to paint him as a “white man” (false, he’s Hispanic) and when that didn’t work you called him a bigot anyway and supported those who took that view. You even said you considered the dead Mr. Martin someone who could be “your son.”
Indeed, you personally, Mr. President, fanned the flames of racial hatred in that circumstance, and despiteyour best effort both personally from your bully pulpit and in the press a jury of Mr. Zimmerman’s peers found him not guilty.
