I think we can pretty well believe that when the ‘scanner’ whose job it was to sensationalize a ‘violent crowd’ ran across the name George Zimmerman he was envisioning someone from VA who played 3B for the Washington Nationals or better yet a likeness of Jordan Zimmermann ‘EVEN WHITER’ with his Wisconsin upbringing etc.
I can see all the ‘little trolls and gnomes’ dancing with glee and would loved to have been around when it turned out George Zimmerman looked more like “Speedy Gonzales” than some lily white honky.
Just to be a fly on the wall when ‘they’ had to decide what to do, starting with making this punk Martin look like an innocent Gary Coleman, happily skipping his way back home after making a snack run.
Then they attempted to make George Zimmerman look as mean and distorted as possible, with dark angles, and a genuinely sinister look.
With the push this fiasco got even AFTER ‘they’ were exposed, I can imagine that if it were a ‘lily white’ Zimmerman,’they’ may have been prompted to take to the streets. It was hard to ‘rally’ the troops when they had egg on their face.
I was thinking the same thing today. They must have not known that Zimmerman was Hispanic when they sent the news out. They were probably thinking he had to be a white man. Then the genie got out of the bottle and there was no getting him back. That explains the ridiculous “white Hispanic” description. They insisted on calling him a white man until it became so ridiculous that they had to change to a “Hispanic white man”. LOL
