You get the feeling that "fair and balanced" in the eyes of the above correspondent probably means "fair skinned and balanced on top of their farmhouse with a semi-automatic rifle"

Comment: Hi, Folks-

My wife say a video today, which, if true, could perhaps show in a
different light Treyvon's unfortunate death. This video alleges to show
some of his contemporaries in action.

The video purported to show a flash mob of about 300 black teens trashing
a Walmart in Jacksonville Florida as a result of their party being shut
down by police.

If true, I am sure Snopes.com would want to be at the top of the list of
companies ready to donate funds to the Rev. Al Sharpton for him to fly
down there and present a check for the damages to the poor store manager.

Seriously, though, if this IS true, where was the coverage in our liberal
press?

I would appreciate it if you were able prove this either true or false and
let me know.

A flash mob of 300 black teens?

Only blacks? and who counted the 300?

It's probably a Walmart on Black Friday.

A huge house party broken up by police in a North Jacksonville subdivision didn't end there Saturday night as hundreds of young partygoers ignited a flash mob at the Lem Turner Road Walmart Supercenter.

They caused havoc that was recorded and posted on YouTube until Tuesday afternoon, while one person reported being shot during the party
The 300 number is a police estimate given in the article, and the group does appear to be of at least mostly (From a quick eyeballing the video, I didn't exactly go through it frame by frame and do a head count or anything) African Americans.

Video of the incident: http://jacksonville.com/opinion/blog...cene-flash-mob

As to what it has to do with the Treyvon Martin case.... errrr the price of tea in China near as I can tell.

Comment:

A black kid asks his dad, "Dad, what's Democracy?"

(Wait! The kid doesn't know who his Dad is. Let's start over...)

A black kid asks his mom, "Mama, what's a Democracy?"

"Well, son, that's when whites work every day so we can get all our benefits!"

"But mama, dont the white people get pissed off about that?"

"Sure they do, but that's called racism!"

He probably also believes bigotry is when you sleep with two goth girls.

Beam... eye..., remove.

Comment: Is this True?

It has been leaked to the press that Barack Obama has chosen Sylvester
Stallone for his 2012 running mate and Nancy Pelosi for Secretary of State
and is dropping Joe Biden from the ticket. They will run as Sambo, Rambo
and Bimbo, without Dumbo.

Comment: Again you reported a True Story FALSE, or Mixed. Everything was
True in the email story, Muslim around our country DO close down streets
and Pray DAILY. The photos from NY were from the yearly "Muslim Day"
parade but the information is correct in the article. The media fails to
cover this activity, they are scared and so should we all be.
Christians are put down and limited in what they can do or say in our FREE
country but the Muslims have free range, even in court? This is not
America anymore, it's the Middle East. Scary and Shamful.

Comment: I live in Houston,TX. OUR WONDERFUL MAYOR WAS KIND ENOUGH TO
ACCEPT THESE KATRINA THUGS, AND LAZY WELFARE MAMA'S!!!!! When we needed to
evacuate did LA HELP US? HELL NO!!!! OUR CRIME RATE WENT UP AT LEAST
300%!!! I'm not racist, and NEVER will be, but if your going to act
ignorant, then you deserve to be called the N word. That is the true
definition of the N word LAZY!!!! I guess if the shoe fits y'all shouldn't
complain,and you should be homeless, and not getting handouts, that REAL
TAX PAYING PEOPLE that are poverty level and deserve. If you can sell
drugs, rape, murder, and get a free ride in prison, then you don't deserve
any KIND OF HELP!!!

Comment: : Obama Angry with Texas!!

Says he will never come back here and will do all he can to convince us to
secede!

Here's why...

THEY SAY THIS HAPPENED IN San Antonio this week!!!

Obama will be making no more public speeches in Texas ......
He claims every time he gets up on stage to make a speech, some South
Texas cotton farmers start bidding on him.

God Bless San Antonio
God Bless Texas !

God, I Love Texas!!

Comment: Is the preident black? I thought the race of the child is
determined by the mother, if so, then he is white and that is why you will
not see his full birth certificate on line.
When I worked as a nurse, the race did go by the mother.
