Would it be fair to compare Republicans to the OJ jury

[Toots]

I myself am convinced OJ did the deed. I believe he was acquitted because of race. The jury let him off because he was one of their own and the long history of injustice against blacks. They had had enough. Republicans on the other hand just want to let criminals off the hook if they are Republican. Sort of a criminal code of behavior. It makes no difference how the facts show the crimes they will still support the criminals. If this is not a racist attitude I think it would make a good talking point. We all know how much they railed against that OJ jury....If they get labeled as one and the same maybe just maybe a light bulb will go off.

1. Apples and oranges.

OJ jury was making a statement to the world that a member of the African American community would not be a pawn in the criminal justice system, regardless of his guilt or innocence. It just wasn't a consideration.

Republicans are practicing nepotism in order to maintain power and control over anyone not in their elite clique.

2. The jury in OJ was correct

I lean toward the notion that OJ was involved in the deaths but the prosecution didn't prove their case. I thought the cops were liars, the criminalists were incompetent, and the theory of the crime idiotic. The jury did its job.
