MSNBC's Dyson Complains Zimmerman Has Become 'Icon' and 'Patron Saint of the Right Wing'
Newsbusters ^ | July 16, 2013 | Brad Wilmouth

On Monday's All In with Chris Hayes, MSNBC political analyst Michael Eric Dyson declared that George Zimmerman has become "a kind of patron saint of the right wing in a very serious way" as he complained that he has "been made an icon" and will receive external support in his freedom.

Host Hayes fretted that Zimmerman would not sufficiently have to face his conscience as he quoted a tweet. Hayes:

You know, someone said this thing on Twitter, I think it was a guy named Jim Henley who I really like and follow. And he said, you know, I hope, I have one thought that, I hope George Zimmerman goes home tonight and thinks about what he did and what happened, but there's this world awaiting him that wants to embrace him as a hero. There's an entire universe to whom he has become-

Dyson jumped in:

He's been made an icon. I went into my hotel and that evening ran into George Zimmerman's best friend. We had a vigorous, non-hostile conversation for 20 minutes, and I said to him, "Sir, your friend just murdered an unarmed young man."

The liberal MSNNBC political analyst added:

He said, "But there was no probable cause for him to be arrested." I said, "We're not only speaking different languages; we're living in different universes." There is a world awaiting George Zimmerman that will support him economically, that will make him an icon. And he has become a kind of patron saint of the right wing in a very serious way.

I think the word is “was” an Obama voter. Do you think that Mr. Zimmerman and his family & friends have any love left for this administration, their party or anything related to them?

I guess he got a pretty expensive education.

It appears to *me* that Mr. Dyson is projecting at a minimum of warp factor 9, if not warp factor 10. Next stop, the Twilight Zone, at Ludicrous Speed!

Leftists are really over-reaching now just like the Zimmerman trial and just wait they won’t succeed. When I was a kid, I grew up learning about the hippies. I would hear how the youth generation in the 60s transformed America. But upon closer inspection they were not so effective. Urban rioting in 1968, Nixon gets elected to the White House. Perhaps a similar scenario is developing right now and it’s quite possible the GOP could win over the Hispanic vote.

Do you have the slightest shred of evidence Zimmerman or his family don’t still support Obama, or have changed politically at all?

Let me go to my guest bedroom and ask them. Yes, I have them over for a barbecue and the rutabaga festival later in the week, so hold on a minute and I'll see.

My school invited Mr. Dyson as a guest speaker. What he said is par for the course from my experience.

Often they're just a liberal who has matured. Given the severity of progressive education system indoctrination, it must be hard to be a young conservative.
