ABL Talks About #TrayvonMartin on the AlterNet Radio Hour with Joshua Holland

Posted on April 1, 2012 by | 2 Comments

Today, I yammered about the Trayvon Martin case on the AlterNet Radio Hour, hosted by Joshua Holland.

Actually, I yammered via Skype on Friday, but the show aired this afternoon on We Act Radio in D.C.  I, of course, streamed it on my iPad while tweeting about it, because it’s the twenty-first century and I’m nothing if not a slave to my iCrap.

The show is a good one, and has the added bonus of being fully-estrogenated.  Three guests. Three women.

I’m second up (at around the 28 minute mark), after Dahlia Lithwick and before Sara Robinson. So… semper uteri! — or something.

Just roll the damn tape!

ABL on The Hal Sparks Radio Show Talking About Stuff and Things

Posted on March 31, 2012 by | 7 Comments

I recorded my appearance on the Hal Sparks Show on my computer on the off-chance that U-Stream decided to act up.  Good call on my part!

I have to say, the amount of time it took me to put this together is flat-out ridonkulous.  I suppose I could have read the directions for the program I used, but that would have deprived me of the opportunity to be unnecessarily frustrated.

In any event, if you missed it, here it is!

Anna Brown: 29-year-old Black Woman Dies in Jail After Being Dragged By Police Out of Hospital

Posted on March 30, 2012 by | 22 Comments

This makes me hate people.

Anna Brown had visited several hospitals complaining of pain in her legs. When she was ignored at St. Mary’s Hospital, she refused to leaved, screaming and yelling that she was in pain. The hospital had her arrested. The police dragged her out of the hospital and into a squad car. At the Richmond Heights Police Department, she cried that she couldn’t stand up or get out of the car, so the officers dragged her out of the car, into a jail cell, and left her there.

Fifteen minutes later she was dead from a pulmonary embolism:

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

Posted on March 29, 2012 by | 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.

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

Posted on March 28, 2012 by | 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 by | 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.

Breitbrat Dan Riehl on #TrayvonMartin: Blacks are Being ‘Lead Down a Path Through a Cotton Field of Ignorance’

Posted on March 25, 2012 by | 6 Comments

 

I read Dan Riehl’s latest ‘tiny violins’ post and laughed right out loud.  It pairs nicely with this video (which you should play while you read the below excerpt):

lgf blogger Charles Johnson has finally made it fully into the arms of the left with his post attacking me, which gives him enough links and attention to result in this.

#TrayvonMartin: Breitbrat Dan Riehl’s Racism Is Hanging Out All Over the Place

Posted on March 24, 2012 by | 32 Comments

This rush to demonize Trayvon Martin is beyond ridiculous.

Leading the charge in the cavalcade of stupidity surrounding Trayvon Martin are the Breitbrats. In this case, Intrepid Blogger Dan Riehl, “found” a Facebook photo of “Trayvon Martin” which is supposed to lend credence to the wingnuts’ desperate efforts to cast Trayvon Martin as a thug.

In the photo, a young black kid is in a room somewhere throwing up middle fingers. This, of course, is damning evidence to the Breitbrats because the kid is black, he looks kind of black, and I’m pretty sure the kid is black.  Also, it’s the first time in history that any kid, black or otherwise has ever mugged for a camera, so he must be up to something.  He’s probably mugging the cameraman!

Sigh.
