LITD hasn't weighed in on the Trayvon Martin shooting mainly because the incident itself was not particularly fraught with ideological implications. A guy, George Zimmerman, with a history of obsessing over the rules at his gated community - complaining to the lotowners' association about open garage doors and such - and a reputation for being generally rather jumpy, shot was appears to be an innocent teenage guy walking through the neighborhood with a bag of skittles. Tragic? Beyond question. But this blog's position was that addressing the FHer victim-mongering that inevitably ensues when shooter and shootee are of different races - and shootee is black - just drew more attention to that kind of garbage.
But it's getting so pathetic and so prominently disseminated that it's time to say something. Freedom-Haters must not be allowed to get away with drawing unsubstantiated connections between an incident like this and talk radio.
And the Most Equal Comrade really needs to shut his mouth.
UPDATE: Michelle Malkin has a comprehensive roundup of the race-baiting going on in media new and old.
