Who shoots white babies, Dana?

And what about mocking white female rappers? Got anything to say about that, Mr. P? Image from The Daily Banter.

Dana Perino, the former spokesperson of the worst president in the history of the United States, chides the current president for taking a turn as his own spokesperson and for making the best utterance on the subject of race that has ever been made by a U.S. president:

Dana Perino: Where’s Obama speech on blacks shooting white babies in the face? http://t.co/kCmivRUcvH #uniteblue

That was with reference to the horrific story from last March of a white Florida woman out with her 13-month-old white baby who told of an encounter with two black teenagers: they asked her for money and then shot the baby dead, in the face. Perino evidently felt that Obama had spoiled his talk by not mentioning that sometimes in Florida black people kill white people.

Then again it wasn't exactly parallel to the George Zimmerman case, as was pointed out yesterday: nobody was arguing that the young men, who had been arrested and charged fairly soon afterwards, had been acting in self-defense, or that the baby was to blame for his own death because he wore frightening clothes. Whereas when Zimmerman killed himself a child, that was just what the jury concluded.

But things are not always what they seem. Today we learn something new:

Gunpowder found on hands of parents of Georgia baby allegedly shot in the face by Black teens http://t.co/YGGWf5l7os HearWeGoAgain #p2

There's evidence that the mother may have killed the baby herself, "for the insurance money," her daughter says, and the baby's father is said to have thought so too, "going crazy" after the baby's death: physical evidence, in that gunpowder on their hands on the day of the murder. Ever heard this story before? More than once, I bet, but Susan Smith of South Carolina, who sent her car with her two kids in it into the lake in 1995, allegedly because her boyfriend "had no interest in a ready-made family", and then accused an (imaginary) black kidnaper of the crime, stands out. Though we'll never know if she would have let him take her punishment for her—the police found out she had done it before they found a black man to arrest. Though not before Newt Gingrich (Smith's stepfather was a Gingrich campaigner and local organizer for the Christian Coalition) had come out to blame Democrats for the imaginary black kidnaper and his crime.

Maybe Obama should have spoken about it after all! But you know how he is, always waiting for all the evidence to come in. I guess that's one of the big differences between him and Dana Perino.
