Politico, the verdict showed just how politicized every aspect of american life has become for a hyper partisan political class. joining me howard fineman and mother jones magazine david corn, both msnbc political analysts. gentlemen, this, well, predictable outrage i call it from the right, but i have to tell you, when i watched newt in action, i've learned to believe he's just pulled the pin in the grenade at every operation, every opportunity. here he is again trying to excite i think a group of americans unhappy perhaps at the whole tragedy itself who aren't saying hallelujah. i don't care...

Expert, i'm not an attorney like yourself, but do you have to prove that it was basically shooting on sight? ivor heard some earlier charges in the beginning of this one, was very outraged in the country that he saw young black man because he met the profile. and shot him because he met the profile in his head who was committing these burglaries. if he it did involve a scuffle, if his head was hit a number of times, maybe his testimony isn't accurate, but there if there was a scuffle that involved the danger of bodily harm, can you still problem the reason he shot the poor young kid was becaus...
