...has forced it so that now conservatives say they are pro-Zimmerman, liberals say they are pro-Martin...
No, Juan tries though. For those "pro-Zimmerman" it comes down to facts not politics. The same cannot be said about the others. That they are the left as a rule speaks to another issue altogether
The politics behind this is different than most people may assume. Some are using the race issue as a smoke screen to pursue and advance 2 other agendas. ... specifically:
1.) Anti gun forces from Brady to VPC to any other virulent anti gun organization is fanning the fires of racial bigotry to advance their agenda
2.) Opposition to SYG, even though SYG has absolutely nada to do with this case and the defense presented by Zimmerman would be a defense in every state of the Union.
That is why this is different from the Duke Lacrosse case. There was no underlying political agenda behind it. There is one here which causes Josh Sugarmann of the Violence Policy Center to have GZ already listed as a Kconcealed Karry Killer (TM).
