White Supremacists Hack Email of #TrayvonMartin and a New Video Fails to Substantiate Zimmerman’s Self-Defense Claims

Posted on March 29, 2012 | 11 Comments

Two new developments in the sordid Trayvon Martin affair.

First, white supremacists hacked into Trayvon Martin’s email account and posted some of the information on 4chan.

From Gawker:

A slide titled “Trayvon Martin Used Marijuana Habitually,” features an exchange between Trayvon and a friend about getting high. Another slide, “Trayvon Martin was a Drug Dealer” features Facebook messages and photos that supposedly prove Martin dealt drugs, including a picture of Martin posing “aggressively with a large amount of cash in his hand.” It’s impossible to verify the hacked messages’ authenticity—like other anti-Trayvon Martin propaganda, they’re probably a mix of real and fake content— but they are now being passed around as gospel among the racist underbelly of the internet, including message boards like the neo-Nazi hive Stormfront, which Klanklannon apparently frequents.

The saddest bit of Gawker’s story is that Trayvon’s email demonstrated that he was a focused young man trying to get into college:

#TrayvonMartin: The Zimmerman Apologist Train is Careening Wildly Off-Track

Posted on March 29, 2012 | 24 Comments

I’m not a fan of Nancy Grace, but this is worth watching for further insight into the depths of the cover-up that is going on down in Florida:

Clearly, the video released by ABC News yesterday destroys Zimmerman’s claim that Trayvon attacked him.

Additionally, the funeral director has stated that there was no signs on Trayvon’s body that would indicate that he had been in a fight. So we have a video of Zimmerman where he’s unbloodied, unbruised, not wincing in pain, and wearing clean clothes, and we have Trayvon Martin with no cuts or bruises on his hands; but somehow we’re supposed to believe that Trayvon punched Zimmerman in the nose hard enough to break it, then slammed Zimmerman’s head into the ground, and began beating him?

No. That did not happen. It makes no damn sense.

Remember When George H.W. Bush Supported Planned Parenthood and Family Planning?

Posted on March 29, 2012 | 5 Comments

Rachel Maddow had a great segment last night on how batshit crazy the Republican party has become over the last thirty years when it comes to reproductive rights and family planning.

Example Numero Uno? When Papa Bush was UN Ambassador, he sent a letter to the director of Planned Parenthood at the time, Alan Guttmacher, congratulating Planned Parenthood on the issuance of an eight cent “family planning” stamp, and stating he was “deeply appreciative of the dedication it symbolizes.”


Forty years later, George H.W. Bush has thrown his support behind Mitt “We’re gonna get rid of Planned Parenthood” Romney.

NRA Selling Hoodies with Pocket for Concealed Handgun; Geraldo Non-Apologizes

Posted on March 28, 2012 | 11 Comments

Capitalizing on HoodieGate, the NRA demonstrates yet again that they have no shame, and won’t rest until every man, woman, child, and zygote is armed to the teeth:

We want concealed carry to fit around your lifestyle – not the other way around. That’s why we developed the NRAstore™ exclusive Concealed Carry Hooded Sweatshirt. It’s the only garment of its kind we know of! Made from a pre-shrunk, heavyweight 50% cotton / 50% polyester blend, we’ve taken a standard 9 oz. fleece sweatshirt design and added a full-body polyester lining for added warmth, durability, wind resistance and weight distribution. Inside the sweatshirt you’ll find left and right concealment pockets. The included Velcro®-backed holster and double mag pouch can be repositioned inside the pockets for optimum draw. Ideal for carrying your favorite compact to mid-size pistol, the NRA Concealed Carry Hooded Sweatshirt gives you an extra tactical edge, because its unstructured, casual design appears incapable of concealing a heavy firearm – but it does so with ease! Includes drawstring hood, cotton/spandex ribbed cuffs and waistband, two front pouch pockets and a discreet black zipper. Includes one Velcro® holster and one Velcro® mag pouch. Colors: Black, Navy. Made in USA.

Oy vey. Continue reading →

”Fake” Trayvon Martin picture circulates on the web; originates from neo-Nazis

Posted on March 26, 2012 | 51 Comments

I can’t even.

Good to know that Fox News, Michelle Malkin, Dana Loesch (good job CNN!) and the rest of the denizens of Wingnutopia are getting their news from a bunch of  neo-Nazis:

Over the weekend, a picture began circulating that claimed to show Martin in a less-than-flattering light: shirtless, sagging pants, and giving the finger to the camera.

The image quickly circulated across blogs and websites, with many claiming it as evidence that Martin was not as innocent as family and supporters claimed, as well as alleging media bias.

There is one problem to that claim: the picture is not Trayvon Martin.

(read the rest)

As I pointed out on Saturday, these images are coming straight from the Breitbrats via Stormfront.

If President Obama had a son, he *would* look like Trayvon Martin.

Posted on March 25, 2012 | 17 Comments

This is circulating around the Facespace, and it’s a little bit eerie:
20120325-171248.jpg

Upon looking at this Photoshop image, perhaps Newt Gingrich wants to explain what it is about President Obama’s comments that were so racially divisive? Oh wait, nevermind he can’t — because he’s an asshole who panders to the lowest life-forms in Wingnutopia.
