No, you just buy into every single element of their sick ideology and suck at the rotting cocks of Ron Paul and Ayn Rand.
I expect you to back up your claims with actual evidence from my posts.
Otherwise, it is libel, as you perceive it (meaning, you are intentionally libeling me).

Lets have a look at that quote. Line one:"Liberals think following someone is a crime."
Keep in mind that the quote came from a democrat (US), not from me.

Yep that's clearly the phrasing of a person who wants there to be a reasoned debate.
Despite the sarcastic implications of your words, you are correct at face value: there is no crime in following someone in generally public areas. If it were illegal, there would be no such thing as a real private investigator: we'd just call them data miners.
But, if we are to take your words as you intended them - sarcastically - it is quite clear that you are definitely not interested in reasoned debate. I know you know the law well enough to realize that implications of your sarcasm are plain wrong.

I mean it clearly isn't a strawman or a total invention. As we all know so long as as sentence supports a Libertarian agenda no one is allowed to question it in anyway.
I'd be careful throwing around the word "libertarian" with such ignorance.
And you're correct: it isn't strawman at all (I am ignoring the sarcasm, still). People have accused Zimmerman of illegally tailing Trayvon.
Control + F this article to see commentors discussing such a case (all I had to do was google search to see that some people think what he was doing was illegal)

Okay so that was pretty good.
Well, considering I destroyed your snarky sarcasm for what is was, yeah, it was pretty good. It wasn't very hard to do so, either. I am not as familiar with this case as you are (well, as much as I thought you were).

"Liberals think asking someone a question is a crime."
Yeah, you'll probably take that out of context. I'll read on to see if you do...

Again very much in to pro-reasoned debate arena. Not a single strawman argument there, no attempt to appeal to rehtoric. State the facts and move on. Well thought out and in no way intended as a form of trolling.
Yeah, figured: you took it out of context. By liberals, this person is not including every last liberal, ever: else he include himself. He was referring to the idiot kneejerking liberals addressing this "case".
Now that that strawman of yours is out of the way...
That dude's entire quote is tongue-in-cheek, borderline humor. So when you call it rhetoric, I call it a light-hearted call to reason. But despite your sarcasm, your face-value reading is still more correct than the intended sarcastic one: many idiots (read: libtards) have said that him questioning Trayvon was illegal as he had no authority to do so.
To me, it seems as if you're not aware of the arguments going back and forth on this case. I mean...have you run into that particular argument, yet, on the interwebz?

But seriously the person who wrote that clearly feels pretty much the same way about Liberals that I do about Libertarians.
You think he's a self-loathing liberal? I thought of him more like a liberal that is tired of idiot libtards making liberals look bad, personally. Kind of how I feel about kneejerking Christians. I mean, sure...I can be lumped into the same camp as them but I do grow tired of the idiocy and kneejerking from many different Christians about lots of things science related. It gets irritating. So I think I can understand where this guy his coming from.

If Zimmerman can prove that Trayvon attacked him first then he has a defense. Too bad someone killed Trayvon so we can never hear his defense. It's almost like the stand-your-ground laws have a terrible loophole in them.
I agree. That's probably been a point brought up over and over when these arguments start to rage on between both sides.
It is also part of why I am still undecided.
BUT....the good news: some people may have seen what went down. Some of the response personnel are backing up Zimmerman's claim (that Zimmerman get his ass kicked).
If anything, this should be a good reason for liberals to bring up why we need better gun control (or no guns). Where are those arguments? I have not run across them.

The fact that he was injured does not prove his innocence at all. Whether you get punched before or after pulling out a gun does not change what the injuries look like.
You do not have to prove innocence in a court of law: you have to prove reasonable doubt. You are found "not guilty". Not "innocent". Being acquitted just means you are not longer charged with the offense because there is not enough "evidence" to convict you.
This has been part of my problem with the case from the beginning: we will probably never know if Zimmerman did the following:
1. Thought that Trayvon was a drug dealer doing stupid shit in the neighborhood.
2. Followed him to catch him in the act.
3. Verbally confronted Trayvon.
4. Trayvon then beat the shit out of him.
5. Zimmerman pulled his gun out and shot Trayvon in the chest.
That's pretty much Zimmerman's side of the story. Only RECENTLY have we seen anything that corroborates with Zimmerman's side of the story: a swollen nose and some lacerations on the back of his head.
But everyone had already convicted Zimmerman. They instantly found him guilty. This is what that other dude was raging about when he referred to the "liberals".

Sure.Would you like to see the corpse of an unarmed 17 year old? Give me your mailing address, I think Ron Paul has a few grandkids I can go defend myself against.
I am unsure how this post even remotely addressed what I have stated.
You do know that I am demanding pictures of Zimmerman's black eyes to prove Zimmerman's side of the story to be a bit more credible, right? RIGHT? RIIIIGHT??!?!?!?!?!?!? Please tell me you understand that and were just making a joke. 🙁
And now, you have made an indirect threat to life against the grandchildren of Ron Paul. *shudders* You ain't right, man.

I don't really see most of that list as being bullshit, honestly. Coming from the viewpoint of a San Francisco, CA denizen, and looking at facebook, a looooot of people really do think like the way that list asserts they do.
Indeed. That list was just a backlash from a democrat (read: liberal) who had had enough of the bullshit and unreasonable claims from fellow liberals.
