It’s a huge political blunder for the left to push the envelope on this issue.
George Zimmerman’s mother is Hispanic. George looks as Mexican as Pancho Villa. Hispanics will identify with him, they will empathize with him. Latinos vote.
By fanning the flames in order to gain favor with blacks, an already wholely-owned voting bloc for Obama, they run the risk of alienating Latinos in a big way. There is zero gain for sure, and the possibility of a huge backfire.
Blacks and latinos have never had a natural affinity for each other, they have been actually quite resistant to any kind of unity.
As more and more photos of George Zimmerman surface, latinos will begin to think of him as one of their own, and they will take offense at what is happening to him.
I heard that his background is Hispanic and Jewish.
