Your poster boy is suppose to be a squeaky-clean model of your values, not whatever the hell Zimmerman is.


Alternately, Zimmerman is, to them, a squeaky-clean model of their values, which is not acceptable to rational people.

Disgusting. It's like what all Republicans do... stand behind their guy no matter what sort of disgusting prick he is.

And don't go screaming "family values" from every street corner.

And Weiner's support is not party-wide. And criticism of Weiner is not being quashed by the DNC leadership.

using the word "all". I find using an all-inclusive word such as that tends to invalidate the message.

is a creation of an Orlando PR firm Julian Communications, hired by Ben Crump, ambulance chaser disgustiariare. Most of what the media said was based on their releases along with their usual laziness and dishonesty.
All due respect, models and images are not real. There are also enduring myths proven false in court, like the "was told not to get out of the car" myth.

Local group that helped Zimmerman gets hacked

Hackers angry that an Ohio gun-rights organization raised money to buy George Zimmerman a new gun launched a cyberattack that disabled the Buckeye Firearms Association’s website.

Ken Hanson, the association’s legislative director, said members began receiving phone calls and threats shortly before the website crashed on Wednesday. An anonymous tweet also indicated responsibility, he said yesterday.

The association’s website likely will be down until next week as investigators work the case and the organization improves its online security, he said. Members are communicating through email and Facebook.

The pistol he had or has MSRP of about $390. A top quality pistol could be picked up for $600+. For that can of money, he can get a pistol like a Walther GSP and try out for the Olympics.
