What if . . .

What if a black man in his own neighborhood killed a white pot-smoking teenager who, he claimed, attacked him? And what if the black man had a broken nose, a wound on the back of his head, and grass stains all over his pants? And what if a witness said, "I saw the black man on the ground and the white kid on top of him"? And what if the black man was not arrested because the police had not completed their investigation? And what if the KKK printed up wanted posters of the black man that said, "Wanted Dead or Alive" and offered a $10,000 bounty for him? And what if Rush Limbaugh tweeted all his followers with the message "Reach out and touch someone" accompanied by the address of an elderly couple who just happened to have the same name as the black man?

Do you think the Justice Department would be investigating? Do you think there would be cries of outrage from black politicians? Do you think KKK leaders would be cooling their heels in jail? I do.

Yet we hear not a peep from any of them over the bounty placed on George Zimmerman and the outrageous behavior of those who have victimized innocent people who just happen to share the Zimmerman name. Our country has hit a new low, and the only way up is to get Obama and Eric Holder out of office come November.
