The Trayvon Travesty

The preferred media narrative has completely collapsed:

It is impossible to reasonably argue that the state presented a case that should result in a murder 2 or manslaughter conviction. However, and of course, a conviction is still possible.

So they’ll continue to unreasonably argue it.

It’s certainly a distraction from real issues.

“To The Right Of The Muslim Brotherhood”?

WTF does David Ignatius mean by that phrase?

It’s very interesting that one of the groups that supported the coup was the more conservative Salafist group known as the Nour Party to the right of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Does that make any sense at all? What is he saying? That they support lower taxes? Traditional marriage? Smaller government? What?

While “Left” and “Right” aren’t particularly enlightening words in discussion of domestic politics, it’s really stupid to talk about Middle East politics in those terms.
