Video: Rick Santorum curses at New York Times Reporter (why is that bad?)

While on a rope line at a campaign stop, Rick Santorum unleashed on New York Times reporter Jeff Zeleny after Zeleny asked Santorum if he thought Mitt Romney was the worst Republican choice for president. It's hard to fault Santorum here. He actually seemed to channel the rage of conservatives who are fed up with liberal media bias.

Another aspect to this is the liberal media's overt support for Romney as the nominee. This singling out of Santorum all started after a very significant Romney campaign gaffe, when the communications director suggested Romney would move to the left after getting the nomination by using an Etch-a-Sketch metaphor. When Santorum tried to illustrate that there is not enough of a contrast between Romney and Obama, the media pounced. Suddenly, the Etch-a-Sketch gaffe was replaced by Santorum's handling of it. The question by Zeleny is designed to continue the media-created narrative that says Santorum thinks there's no difference between Obama and Romney.

Video: (Father) Pfleger Race Baits from Pulpit using Trayvon Martin statue

Someone please tell me why this guy is still a Catholic priest. There's nothing quite like race-baiting from the pulpit while using visual aids to help you do it. St. Sabina pastor (and Jeremiah Wright / Barack Obama friend) Michael Pfleger used a wooden statue of Trayvon Martin holding bags of skittles and Iced Tea to make his point from the altar that blacks need to demand justice from their government. Disgraceful doesn't even begin to explain this.

One question: If the Catholic Church refuses to defrock / excommunicate this guy, how can it be expected to do the right thing with Obama's HHS contraception mandate?

Video: Is Trayvon Martin's killer a Democrat?

This post comes with a caveat. The first video you see appears to be from a news report but there is no identifying news outlet. That is a bit of a red flag and I seriously considered not posting it until I saw that the website from whence I found it corroborated many of their claims with verifiable sources / links.

According to this video - linked from the Black and Hispanic Tea Party (BHTP) website - Zimmerman is a registered Democrat:



Here is another reason I posted that video. BHTP reports that Zimmerman's father is a retired magistrate who is connected to the (Sanford?) Police Department:

George Zimmerman is a Democrat and his father is a retired magistrate judge with connections within the police Department, and the police worked overtime to make certain that Zimmerman was given the benefit of the doubt just for merely saying that it was self-defense without a further investigation and just released.  It’s no wonder the Democrat-run union police department in Sanford, Florida released Zimmerman and gave him the benefit of the doubt; Democrats have a long history of Racism in America. That’s why Blacks are coming back home to the Republican Party.  Democrats only value the lives of Black people when its time to vote.

This is a CNN news report that backs up the claim that Zimmerman's father was a magistrate:



Can you imagine the circular firing squad within the Democratic Party if Zimmerman (a Hispanic) is a registered Democrat who got out of a murder charge because of the political connections his father has with the Sanford Police Department?

***UPDATE: 3/26/12*** Looks like the aforementioned news report referring to Zimmerman as a "self described Democrat," is legit. It's from an NBC 6 report in Miami. One other thing about that report sticks out. In it, Zimmerman is said to have a history that includes a domestic violence charge and an incident in which he shoved the cop; charges were dropped after community service. Two questions arise as a result. One, did his father have any involvement in the dismissal and two, in light of his alleged tendency toward violence, was Zimmerman the best candidate for neighborhood watch and a gun?
