Remember the original medialeft narrative about George Zimmerman — large adult white man who calls 9-11 nearly daily, hunts down innocent little black boy and kills him, vigilante style, in cold blood?
Reality has intruded. Zimmerman is Hispanic, or HISpanic if you’re Geraldo Rivera, or a “white Hispanic” if you’re the New York Times; a registered Democrat; smaller than Trayvon Martin; who was not following Martin when the night turned deadly; who did not call 9-11 46 times in a year. Add to all that, this:
“You will recall the incident of the beating of the black homeless man Sherman Ware on December 4, 2010 by the son of a Sanford police officer. The beating sparked outrage in the community but there were very few that stepped up to do anything about it. I would presume the inaction was because of the fact that he was homeless not because he was black. Do you know the individual who stepped up when no one else in the black community would? Do you know who spent tireless hours putting flyers on the cars of persons parked in the churches of the black community? Do you know who waited for the church-goers to get out of church so that he could hand them flyers in an attempt to organize the black community against this horrible miscarriage of justice? Do you know who helped organize the City Hall meeting on January 8, 2011 at Sanford City Hall?? That person was GEORGE ZIMMERMAN.”
That’s from a “concerned Zimmerman family member.”
The medialeft have done their best/worst to turn Trayvon Martin’s sad end into a political tool with which to prize Americans’ rights to be armed and to defend ourselves, from our hands. But the facts just keep getting in the way.

It’s simply because the actual poll numbers are so bad for Dear Liar that they have to construct false narratives. Same as with contraceptives. Next up, either gun control or an illegitimate Supreme Court.
“We’re working on a story here, don’t confuse the issue with facts.” Liberal media. What a circus, and it’s not like any of these people reporting this crap gives a damn about Treyvon his family or the Black Community in general.
This situation is a tragedy for all Americans. The Martin family, the Zimmerman family, and the rest of us too afraid of being victims of crime, or those that see crime as their only hope of success in the America of today.
I weep for the future of our nation.
I want to point out again that if Mr. Zimmerman gets cleared, it will be because he luckily had some items for his defense that were eventually found to be hard to contradict, and thus weren’t.
But what of the next guy convicted in absentia because political correctness demanded it, who might not have such evidence? What of him? And what of those, in countless things large and small, who have had the benefit of the doubt concerning their character automatically denied because of being the wrong race? What of them too?
I hope CNN, ABC, NBC, the New York Times, et al go out of business. I truly do. They do not seem to wish to have a constructive role to play in the American story, and appear to often act only as destructive forces now. And we just can’t let it go unremarked anymore.
Amen to that.
I’m glad that this folly is fading away…
Yet we all know that all this is just training for the inevitable “October surprise” that the psychototalitarians are certainly preparing.
Eyes open…cameras ready…Breitbart is here…
The truth is irrelevant. Events are only meaningful to the extent that they advance a politically useful narrative.
It’s sad that we have to play this game of “conflicting narratives” when the important thing is simply what happened that night. It doesn’t matter whether Trayvon was his mama’s baby boy or a ghetto thug. It doesn’t matter whether Zimmerman was a redneck bigot or a saint who gave a kidney to save a homeless black transvestite. The only thing that matters is what happened.
Is there even an investigation going on right now? If so, who’s doing it? Is it independent of the local police department? Will there be a grand jury hearing or anything? Too much static, not enough facts.

This report is part and parcel one of key fonts of information Special Prosecutor will amass in the course of this investigation.
Truth eventually will out, despite Mr. Obama’s ‘demographic positioning.’
See, Florida, Ohio and Virginia are key political battleground states. All three are tied closely to Black America’s heritage(as are others).
Mr. Obama has staked his political fortunes on this fact and one he was able to dominate in 2008 election.
In order to understand Mr. Obama’s and Black congressional and community leaders stakes in this 2012 election, a review of who voted for whom in 2008 is absolutely necessary:
1) number of states won by: Obama=19….McCain=29
2) square miles of land won by: Obama=580,000…..McCain=2,427,000
3) population of counties won by: Obama=127 million…..McCain=143 million
4) murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:Obama-13.2….McCain-2.1
Conclusion: The map of the territory won by McCain was mostly that owned by taxpayng citizens of the country. Obama’s territory mostly encompassed citizens living in low income tenements AND living off of various forms of government welfare….”Obama Money.” This number is now some 47 million american citizens. Recent shifts in voting patterns in Republican Presidential Primaries throughout southern states alerted White House War Room stafers to this phenomenon…explaining Mr. Obama’s statement…Trayvon Martin could’ve been his son.
Rush to judgement? Or demographic positioning? Which is it!!!
God Bless America and the “Rule of Law!”
Yeah the media is having a hard time who to put the racists blame. A death involving a white named person shooting a black teenager must have racism somewhere. Of course Zimmerman would be the first person to attack. Obviously his last name is white and Jewish, he’s got to be racists. Then we find out he’s a registered Democrat who mentored to black kids and his mom is Hispanic which he considers his ethnicity. OOPs! So it’s got to be the police department. Cops are always racists. The lead investigator wanted to charge Zimmerman with manslaughter. OOPs! So it’s got to be the State Attorney. State Attorney said not enough evidence. Definetly racists. Oh wait, the lead investigator didn’t try hard enough and presented a weak case. Definetly the lead investigator is racists. It’s so confusing trying to fit real world into the liberal 60′s formula.
