On Mar 27, 2012, the Brady Campaign President Dan Gross testified at a briefing held by House Judiciary Committee Democrats, “Protecting a “Suspect” Community: Forum on Racial Profiling, Federal Hate Crimes Enforcement and “Stand Your Ground” Laws.”

Dan refers to the Trayvon Martin shooting as a hate crime, and questions why George Zimmerman is still free with the right to carry a hidden, loaded handgun. All well known to Kossacks. What is not so well known is below the fold.

[All material here is paraphrased from Dan's testimony.]

Last week (3/9/12) on the Bill Press Show, I heard an interview with Dennis Kucinich in which he expressed bitterness at the nastiness of Marcy Kaptur's campaign and refused to endorse her.

The problem is that in politics, if someone runs a gutter-level campaign, you're just expected to say its ok and you move on. And Marcy's been my friend for 30 years and I have to tell you, it was pretty surprising the kind of campaign that was run, it was more worthy of Karl Rove than my friend Marcy Kaptur.

More can be found here: Dennis Kucinich Isn't Going Graciously He must have been referring to

a pro-Kaptur Democratic Super PAC called Ohioans for Opportunity is running radio ads in Lorain County that repeat charges about Kucinich's voting record that "have been reviewed, analyzed and discredited by Politifact as half truths."

Interesting. I wondered how she would respond to that.
