    If it's good for the Goose...

    By The Decider on Tue, 03/27/2012 - 3:51pm |

    One of the things that burns me up the most when I think about politics is how democrats waffle back and forth on key philisof...pholosophic...filo...on key issues all the time. For example, liberals have long supported the sex harasment laws that say that the perception of the woman being harased is the standard to be used in judging whether she can sue the pants off the man. Maybe he didn't intend to be bad at all, but it doesn't really matter because she gets to decide whats bad and what's not.

    That brings us to the case of George Zimmerman. Liberals are all mad at him for shooting Trayvon Martin and mad about stand your ground laws because those laws take the same position that liberals have taken--basically that you can defend yourself when you perceive a threat. So, as Trayvon walked up behind Mr. Zimmerman, punched him to the ground and then repeatedly beat his head into the cement, I suppose Mr. Zimmerman is at fault for not saying "Excuse me sir, but I perceive that you are a threat." Remember, liberal readers, there are eyewitness accounts, already known to the police, that support Mr. Zimmerman's story. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

    The link actually reads:

    The details were the most thorough yet to be revealed from Mr. Zimmerman’s point of view, and emerged on Monday as thousands were arriving in town to march and attend a meeting about the shooting and the investigation that followed. In the 911 calls that have been released, Mr. Zimmerman is heard deciding, against a dispatcher’s advice, to follow Trayvon, whom he deemed “up to no good.”       

    What eye witness accounts?  Have you heard/read them?  

    You are asserting not facts, but conjecture based on facts not in evidence.  

    What was your intent in writing/posting this and what FACTS/first hand knowledge did you utilize as the foundation for your thesis?

    Come on, Auntie, facts have a well known liberal bias.  I know that this is what happened because I feel it in my gut and a friend posted it on Facebook.

    It doesn't matter - Spike Lee just Tweeted Bush's address as where the vigilante lives. Honest mistake, they both share the first name. Reached for comment, Lee said, "Turkeys coming home to roost".

    Look, the bible tells me that a woman is suppose to sew the pants on a man, not sue the pants off a man for chrissakes.

    In this case, WE are not jury!

    One 'eyewitness' account does not do the trick as far as probable cause.

    Remember W, a man took a gun to a skittle fight.

    A jury must decide this matter.

    I don't know anything about profitable cause, but as always, you are the most logical of libs, Dick. And I love your language. I'm thinkin' of making you a honorary Texan.

    If Zimmerman is innocent, why did he disappear? Where is the hospital report? Where was the police investigation until this went national? Zimmerman is 'surprised' by a guy he is following? Even in the gun slinging west it was illegal to shoot an unarmed guy cause he 'punched your nose'. Decider, killing people isn't 'sexual harassment', and resisting or reporting it does not involve guns or murder.

    Only a morally aberrant fruitcake would equate women 'suing' men for harassment with this case. Is this tripe what Fox News, Rush or Hate radio is spewing, or did you make this stuff up from scratch?

    I didn't make this up.  I saw it all over the comments in RedState. And personally, I'd rather be in a good ol' gunfight than to have to get sued by a woman. The jury is still out on this one. At least, it would be if there was a jury.

    I reckon Redstate is full of morally aberrant fruitcakes, might have figured. Do you still got Sadddamn's gun?

    All you guys are jumping on me like I don't know anything but remember that I still have eyes and ears in the DIA, NSA, and lots of other government letters. They keep me up on where the nucular bombs are, where the terrorists are hiding, and which black guys are trying to cross through my neighborhood.
