Dennis Prager: liberal media is calling Trayvon an "unarmed teenager"

[Enrique]

he is discussing this now on his radio show. He has a problem with this wording, he seems to thinks the problem is obvious because he doesn't explain it. He likens it to the newspapers calling Rodney King a "motorist".

I'm sure I know what is going through his head, he thinks the media is whitewashing what Trayvon really was. The liberal media is constantly covering up for "those people".

At the same time, he discusses a recent photo of Zimmerman, where according to Prager it is obvious that Zimmerman is not white. He has a longstanding complaint about Zimmerman being described as a "white hispanic". Damn liberal media, slandering the white race by including hispanics. (such as myself, another white hispanic).

2. Who the hell is Dennis Prager?

Sigh. I can guess he's just another loudmouth trying to get an audience by being an asshole.

6. Dennis Prager

was my high school homeroom teacher in the '70's. Probably not the same one, as ol' Denny was a hippie in teacher clothing. Cool guy,too.

20. An obscure and narrow minded talk radio wannabe.

Rush with religious convictions and even less wit. I've seen a few Oped pieces too, but he does not write well. Jonah Goldberg writes better than Prager, for example.

5. Those goddam liberal facts!

Imagine, calling the decedent a "teen-ager" just because he was in his teens. AND pointing out over and over again that he was "unarmed" just because he didn't have a gun on him at the time he was killed! Fucking facts and their liberal bias! Keep up the good fight, Mr. Prager. Someday you will prevail over reality!

9. Now hold on a minute...

He did have a can of tea and a bag of skittles. And to this day we don't know if either were opened. He could have easily spilled the whole can of tea on Zimmerman and threw a skittle or two at him.

12. Check and mate

I fear I have had rings run around me, logically speaking.

[Enrique]

10. he depises journalism

almost as much as he despises education. He traces all our troubles to the Enlightenment. No joke.

[truebrit71]

7. Umm, maybe because he wasn't armed and he was 17 years old?

What a fucking tool....

[wryter2000]

11. Don't forget the Skittles

If Prager ate 5 pounds or more of Skittles every day, he might end up with a heart attack in about twenty years. Dangerous candies, Skittles.

8. So according to him...

Black teenagers walking down the street unarmed aren't really unarmed teenagers.

OK. Got it. Apparently you're armed if you have skittles and an iced tea.

[Enrique]

14. he was armed with his blackness

look at a picture of Trayvon, you can tell he grew up on the streets. Someone like Zimmerman, who worked as a bouncer and assulted a cop, and carries a gun, is helpless against Trayvon's blackness.

[Cali_Democrat]

21. 17 year old black kids are actually about 24 years old.

Take their age and add about 40%. Don't forget to round up. Therefore, Trayvon wasn't really a teenager.

Also, Skittles and iced tea can be used as deadly weapons if you're wearing black skin.

It all makes sense to me now. Trayvon was actually an armed adult.

[Renew Deal]

13. I thought he was an unarmed teenager.

[Rex]

15. And I am calling Dennis Prager a worthless racist.

nt.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

16. It's well known that facts have a liberal bias.

The great Steven Colbert.

[vaberella]

17. Why do I care Enrique...he's just another apologist (closet racist)...moving on.

Their a dime a dozen since Obama was elected.

[Enrique]

19. it needs to be documented

imho. Especially the radio stuff that just disappears into the ether.

[Initech]

18. That's because he wasn't armed?

What an asshole - but then again Prager is part of AM hate radio which is a black hole for facts and logic.

[Gold Metal Flake]

22. Dennis Prager is a racist.

That is who he is, that is why he talks that way.

[truebrit71]

24. Which is ironic seeing as how he considers himself to be a 'christian'....

...Wonderful 'christian' values you have there Mr. Prager...

[Johnny Rico]

25. Actually, he's Jewish...

[truebrit71]

27. You are correct. Ironic considering he considers himself "Judeo-Christian"...

...

[Whisp]

23. Trayvon had 2 arms, therefore he was armed.

that applies to all black men

(for jury insurance, tough times these days for misunderstandings)

[GeorgeGist]

26. To be fair. the liberal media should ...

label Zimmerman as an 'armed adult'.
