Well what can one say?
The individual at the center of the controversial Trayvon Martin shooting is a registered Democrat.
George Michael Zimmerman, born Oct. 5, 1983, registered as a Democrat in Seminole County, Fla., in August 2002, according to state voter registration documents.
It is unclear whether he voted for President Barack Obama in 2008.
Some in the media have sought to blame Republican politicians and conservative activists for Martins death.
[Republican politicians] reinforce and validate old stereotypes that associate the poor and welfare as criminal behavior with African-Americans and people of color, calling us lazy, undeserving recipients of public assistance. In the case of Trayvon, those festering stereotypes had lethal consequences, said MSNBC political analyst and Democratic fundraiser Karen Finney.
According to the document, Zimmermans race is officially listed as Hispanic. The son of a white father and Peruvian mother, he has been described as a white Hispanic in most media reports.
Not really sure how Zimmerman's party affiliation figures in his guilt or innocence at all.
Are you trying to imply that self-appointed vigilante murderers are Democrats in general?
That would probably be a very difficult point to prove.
Are you trying to claim that someone pretended Zimmerman was a Republican? Because as far as I can see, no-one did.
No I'm just being an asshole. My oldest dog is dying today. I live in the middle of nowhere. My vet who is almost a hundred miles away, have to convert kilometers to miles can't take us till Thursday.
Just trying to make it thru today.
Back to being an asshole. I am one. But I really hate how so many have jumped on this man, declared him racist and wanted to lynch him high and hard with no trial.
This is wrong.
