In closing arguments the defense for Kermit Gosnell has resorted to claiming that the only reason Gosnell is on trial at all is because he is black. And I guess we are then meant to assume that if Kermit just happened to be a white guy who had killed women and slaughtered live babies, then we’d still be talking about Dancing with the Stars or how no one really gives a damn what happens on American Idol anymore?
“Never have I seen the presumption of innocence so trampled on, stomped on,” said McMahon in court today, adding that the Philadelphia district attorney’s office “tried to manipulate everybody” and was pursuing an “elitist, racist prosecution.”
“Dr. Gosnell is not the only one doing abortions in Philadelphia,” McMahon said, “but he was an African American singled out for prosecution.”
“We know why he was targeted,” he said. “If you can’t see that reality, you’re living in some sort of la-la land.”
Acually, isn’t he kind of a light-skinned black man, sort of the same way that George Zimmerman was a light skinned Hispanic?
