Cop killer’s anniversary

I’ve told this story before, but since it’s relevant to Mad Murderous Mumia Mania …

This was my first step away from liberalism:

In my second year of law school at Ann Coulter’s alma mater, an e-mail petition was distributed (unsolicited) to the entire class. It was a plea to support a convicted cop-killer in Louisiana … who’s name I’ve long since forgotten. They were asking for pro bono legal assistance, public relations support … and financial donations.

The cop who was murdered left behind a wife and two young children.

As I read the e-mail, I noticed one glaring omission: there was not a single word about whether the convicted murderer was, in fact, guilty. Strange, no? I mean … all of us would support an innocent man in prison, right? So why wouldn’t they bring that up?

The answer – of course – was that the cop was – of course – white; the convicted killer was – of course – black. Without those two colors in the mix, I never would have gotten the e-mail.

But despite the fact that I was at the time a Clinton-voting simpleton, I was not so deep in the Kool-Aid that I was ready to support a murderer, just because someone told me to do so.

So I asked the obvious question. The question that ANY thinking person should have thought of immediately. The question NOBODY seemed to care about.

I sent out an e-mail to the class, a one-liner: “hey, are we sure this guy is innocent?” I asked.

You cannot imagine the outcry my question brought. I was roundly condemned for asking. I received countless pieces of hate mail. Actual threats of violence. My personal favorite came from the original writer. Keep in mind she was a student at this esteemed law school … and this is what she came up with:

“Will you just shut up?”

Classic.

Nobody cared that the guy was guilty. Nobody even thought about it. Nobody cared about the innocent young cop, or his wife, or his children. Even questioning the murderer’s innocence was a mortal sin, because it didn’t matter.

That was the day I understood what liberalism really was. And that I was not one of them.

That is liberalism. They can simply choose not to wonder if a fetus is alive. They can choose not to think about the actual facts of Mumia’s case. They can choose to ignore the reality of Islamo-fascist terrorism.

It’s all the same thing.

If any of the above commenters SINCERELY want to explore the evidence against Mumia – and the baffling support for a man who is UNQUESTIONABLY a murderer – just follow Michelle’s first link.

Here: http://www.danielfaulkner.com/

They have the entire, unedited trial transcript, and links to a great many mainstream media accounts.

No matter how liberal you may think you are, if you follow those links, and read the evidence objectively, using your brain – and then read about your fellow liberals unthinking support of this monster – you may just end up less liberal.

Oh – and for the one who asked why liberals support him (and suggested that, if millions support him, there just MUST be more to the story, as if that argument makes sense) … they support him for the most obvious reason of all: he looks good, and speaks well. It’s our Hollywood culture. He is, in fact, a brilliant writer and a skilled speaker with a silky smooth voice.

Style over substance, baby. He’s guilty as hell, a monster, the absolute antithesis of what liberals claim to believe …

… but he’s a good-lookin’ spokesman. Nothing else matters.

Liberalism in a nutshell.
