This wouldn't have happened when we were the United States of America

By now, you'v no doubt heard about the Community Relations Service, an obscure little agency within the Department of Justice, going to Sanford, Florida last year to, well, basically, stoke the racial angle of the Zimmerman case.  John Fund at NRO has the best coverage I've seen of what was really going on.

The website for the CRS claims it “does not take sides among disputing parties” and only provides “impartial conciliation and mediation services.” But the evidence of its activities in Sanford shows that it placed a large thumb on the scales of justice in the Zimmerman case. What can providing support for a “March for Trayvon Martin” rally headlined by the rabble-rousing Reverend Al Sharpton have to do with “conciliation and mediation”?

As Fund points out, this is Alinskyite community organizing, pure and simple.  Being done on your dime by the one department of the federal government we count on above all to be impartial.

It is so very late in the day.

  1. Kinda makes one wonder whether they will send troops in to bolster support of the rioters if George is convicted of something.

  2. This is written post-acquittal but accounts of the gathering protesters all day yesterday from the Orlando Sentinel indicated that the loudest and most vocal were the college students who had returned to the scene. They had gotten rooms to stay until Monday. Just another Obama foul-up, impeachable? Better let him stay, but he has got to be deflated now.
