Trayvon Martin: A would-be lynching, on behalf of a would-be murderer
By Nicholas Stix
David Frum is a skilled writer; the John Doe calling himself “Barack Obama” is a skilled orator. Unfortunately, to paraphrase Martin Luther, skill is a whore; she’ll sleep with anyone.
Frum and “Obama” are both inveterate liars.
In August, 2004, I wrote about how “Obama” brought tears to my eyes, as he delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention, in which he denied that there are “two Americas,” even as I knew he was lying through his teeth. “There is only one America.”
I had already written exposés on Obama’s racism, but I didn’t yet know that he believed in genocide.
Frum is a different kind of liar. He used to be some sort of a conservative and, though he no longer is, he still trades on his status as one, among the MSM, in order to stab conservatives in the back. He’s a literate, prettier version of Meghan McCain.
The irony is that so many “conservatives” have become enemy collaborators that it’s hard to know whom they’re betraying anymore: Rich Lowry, Robert Verbruggen, Heather Mac Donald, George Will... (Mac Donald and Will have sought to split differences.)
They all seem to have jumped on the Trayvon Martin Race Hoax bandwagon, except for Michael Brendan Dougherty, who says ‘Wait! We don’t know nuthin’ ‘bout shootin’ no little chilrens!’
Meanwhile, since March 15, I’ve been saying, Why we can’t wait. That’s when it became clear to me that “eyewitness” Mary Cutcher was lying, and that WFTV “reporter” Daralene Jones was a racist activist and race hoaxer, rather than a journalist.
If all those conservative poohbahs spent time actually researching stories and making a habit of asking the sort of questions that over 25 years of black race hoaxes have long made second nature in real journalists, they wouldn’t be so busy embarrassing themselves—that is, if they have any sense of shame left.
And their submissiveness, their adoption of the role of white Uncle Toms, permits racist blacks and their white allies to tell whites who have yet to submit, “See, even conservatives admit that Zimmerman should be arrested, so you have no excuse!”
There is no sign that Frum did any research into the Martin case, beyond the MSM’s race hoax script, which he gulps down without chewing. My running commentary is in brackets.
You think the 2012 U.S. election will be about economics? Think again.
David Frum: Trayvon Martin, and the backlash against the backlash
David Frum Mar 24, 2012 – 9:00 AM ET | Last Updated: Mar 23, 2012 5:08 PM ET [N.S.: The dates cannot possibly be right, since that would mean that the National Post editors reversed time, but that is what they wrote, and eight days later still left uncorrected. I left it exactly as I found it, on April 1, at 3:20 a.m. Maybe it’s an April Fool’s Day joke.]
Four years ago, black Americans mobilized to elect one of their own president of the United States. When asked, the overwhelming majority of black Americans still say they support Barack Obama. But the old enthusiasm has dwindled. [Show some evidence, any evidence, for this ludicrous assertion.]
The economic crisis of 2008 hit black America hard, and the recovery since 2009 has largely passed black America by. [There has been no recovery, while “Obama” has accelerated his anti-white economic policies, however, he has nevertheless shoveled a trillion or so tax dollars to blacks.] Black unemployment rates look like something out of the Great Depression: Almost half of young black men cannot find work. [How many of them are looking? And how many are unemployable?]
The cool, cerebral Obama does not much comfort or inspire those out of work, black or white. He is not an “I feel your pain” kind of politician. [Wrong: He inspires blacks with his message of genocidal hatred.]
While nobody doubts that Obama will carry 90% or more of the black vote in November, a lot of people have wondered how high the black turnout will be. If dispirited black Americans stay home in large numbers, Obama’s re-election challenge becomes that much greater. But what could possibly inspire them to the polls?
The answer may have just arrived — in the tragic form of the killing of a teenaged boy, Trayvon Martin.
Three weeks ago, young Martin was shot and killed by a neighbourhood watch volunteer in a gated community in the town of Sanford, Florida. Martin was black, the volunteer was of white-Hispanic background. Martin was unarmed [never mind that he was busy, beating his victim to death]. He was 100 pounds lighter than his killer [wrong, but irrelevant, anyway]. At the time of the shooting, he was walking back to the house in which he was staying, talking on his cellphone [wrong], and carrying a bag of candy [irrelevant] he had just bought at a nearby store.
The more details emerge, the more it looks as if Martin was hunted and killed by a trigger-happy bully. [Such details never existed, and were only created out of whole cloth, the further we got from the initial incident. If Frum had bothered himself to research the matter, he would know that.]
Yet local police have not arrested the killer. No charges have been laid. The killer claimed to have acted in self-defence, and despite many problems [what problems in his story?!] in his story — including the killer’s own violent history [what violent history?! And would that be part of his story, even if it existed?] — the police opted to believe him.
Like nothing else since 2009, the Trayvon Martin case has jolted black America. [Nonsense. Black America is constantly trying to get race hoaxes going: Danroy Henry, Raymond Herisse, et al. The secret wasn’t in the Martin case “jolt[ing] black America,” but in the white-owned MSM supporting black America’s constant desire for a race hoax.] Tens of thousands of people have signed digital petitions demanding a federal investigation. Demonstrations have begun to take place in Florida and elsewhere. A community that has had much reason since 2009 to ask, “Why bother with politics?” suddenly has found an answer.
Martin’s killer, George Zimmerman, could plead self-defence because of Florida’s peculiar gun laws. Under the old law inherited by the English-speaking world, an armed man has a “duty to retreat.” Not in Florida. In 2005, Florida adopted what’s called a “stand your ground” law. These laws — increasingly common in southern states — permit an armed man to shoot in self-defence even if he could have avoided the fight without shooting.
“Stand your ground” laws become especially lethal when combined with other new laws that grant people in the majority of U.S. states the right to carry weapons in public, and even concealed weapons.
[P.S. October 1, 2016: “Stand your ground” laws were utterly irrelevant to this case. They were a Democrat Party talking point, that the DP immediately invoked, in order to try and get the Florida law repealed. The Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case was one of a racially-motivated attempted murder, whose victim engaged in self-defense.]
U.S. gun laws have become more permissive even as U.S. crime rates have sharply declined. Why? [Gun laws have not become “permissive” at all, though that’s the way a leftist would frame things. Rather, more states have stopped violating the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
[As for crime rates, they are works of fiction (see also here and here).] You can read the answer on the past four years’ worth of front pages on the hugely popular website, the Drudge Report. Month in, month out, Drudge spotlights gruesome black-on-white crimes. In a country of 300 million people, there are always examples. These same stories circulate in e-mail chains — and often become the focus of local right-wing talk-radio shows. [This is despicable. He’s reducing massive, pervasive, racist, lynch mob violence into a few anecdotes.]
The U.S. journalist Mickey Kaus calls it “under-news”: news that never quite emerges into the national media, but that shapes the consciousness of millions of people. And what is being shaped is a conviction among many white people — especially fearful elderly whites in the South — that the Obama presidency has licensed a rampage of black-on-white violence. That’s not what the statistics say. But as Stephen Colbert would say: statistics are elitist.
[If, in any major city, the group responsible for the overwhelming majority of violent crime expands the frequency of its criminal behavior, and the areas in which it operates to previously off-limits areas, such as the Gold Coast, Streeterville, and Lakeview in Chicago for at least one year, after which the Chicago PD asserts that crime is plummeting, it is a mathematical impossibility for the police to be telling the truth. Note too that the Chicago PD has been caught lying, and has so little credibility, amid massive numbers of weekly shootings, that even some local journalists refuse to believe the Pollyannish official reports.
Unfortunately, the most fearlessly honest local source of crime news, Chicago News Report, has apparently been intimidated into limiting access, following a report in which it described Trayvon Martin as a “gang-banger.” This sort of intimidation, as practiced by “Obama’s” goon squads, has repeatedly been successful, with most of their victims not being conservatives but democratic socialists.]
As is so often the case, Rush Limbaugh gave these new racial fears their most explicit voice. In September 2009, after Drudge publicized an assault on an Illinois school bus, Limbaugh had this to say: “It’s Obama’s America, is it not? Obama’s America — white kids getting beat up on school buses now.”
This mood of “backlash” has dominated U.S. politics since 2009 — until now. [One popular radio host does not a backlash make.] Now the “backlash” has created an apparent martyr in Trayvon Martin. And it is in Martin’s name that the backlash against the backlash will be launched and be heard.
You think the 2012 election will be about economics? Think again.

So Frum's excuse for black on white murder is "there are always examples."

Thanks for shining your torch on this weasel on steroids. He is, has been, beyond contempt. There is something stamped on that face to this effect, too.

Isn't a white Uncle Tom an Uncle Tim (Wise)?
ReplyDelete"He used to be some sort of a conservative..."
ReplyDeleteCan't say I agree with that one.
