What kind of fucked up God is that?
George Zimmerman is a douchebag.

(13,992 posts)I feel the same way about God as I do about Elvis. I like the guy personally, but some of his fans just creep me out.

(13,992 posts)So I assume he stole it from somebody else.
Sounds like something Bill Maher would have said.

I am deleting my snarky reply. If I had simply posted what I posted in reply 30 I could have both informed and kept my dignity.

(13,992 posts)But I swear I've never heard of the guy.
That being said, he's pretty damned funny, so I'm glad you provoked me into taking the time to look him up.

(13,805 posts)I doff my hat and apologize for the level of snark.
Fugelsang is a frequent contributor to the Stephanie Miller radio show and is almost always a guest for all three hours on Fridays. He also does a lot of fill-in work for the evening show hosts on the Current TV network. He is one of these guys with a deep drawer and instant access, facts always at the fingertips. I assume he will eventually get his own show.
He's the guy who got the Romney campaign spokesman Eric Ferhnstrom to make the Etch-a-sketch comment. He's also a solid liberal. OK, I sound like a fanboy but he's on our side.

(13,992 posts)I haven't been able to listen to Stephanie in years because our servers don't let us stream audio. If I want to hear the show, I have to go out for a three-hour smoke break.

No others. But the show is simulcast on Current if you have cable or satellite TV (and if your provider carries Current).

I'm wondering what is really behind this 'God's plan' bullshit.

(192 posts)insane seems like a pretty good description. He decided ahead of time that he was going to look for trouble and hurt someone.

(46,776 posts)There are churches full of people who have been taught to accept that explanation. "It was God's will."
Now, this is my beef with churches: When someone does wrong, the church will run to their aide because they're in the business of rehabbing sinners. They help him pray through the ordeal and find a productive way to help him get over it. Like community service or huge donations. Meanwhile, the victim is told, "It was God's will." But the church is not finished. If there is someone with deep money bags who did wrong, they usually get a huge donation. So what you're getting is a redistribution of wealth and fortune. The person who got stomped on must learn to accept his "bad luck," while the church is benefiting from guilt money.
What a sweet deal. Zimmerman is just hoping to cut out the middle man.

(1,299 posts)why the fuck he would let him do this is beyond me. Evey time Zman opens his pie hole, it re-enforces the publics perception of how fucking stupid he really is.
