On MSNBC last week, Democratic Party strategist Karen Finney blamed talk radio king Rush Limbaugh for the fatal shooting last month of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin by a neighborhood watch captain in a mixed neighborhood in Florida.
Limbaugh, along with Republican presidential candidates Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney, "reinforce and validate old stereotypes that associate the poor and welfare as criminal behavior with African Americans and people of color, calling us lazy, undeserving recipients of public assistance," Finney said.
In the Trayvon Martin incident, Finney claimed "those festering stereotypes had lethal consequences."
One might ask how Finney knows that Martin's half-Peruvian killer, George Zimmerman (whose photo suggests he's a person of color himself), listens to Limbaugh or has been affected by the candidates' speeches.
As in ex-Rep. Gabby Giffords' shooting last year, this is a case of a Democratic mouthpiece accusing foes of their big-government schemes of murder. So much for President Obama's call for civility in political discourse.
But Finney is just one manifestation of a new war aiming to silence Limbaugh and like-minded talk radio hosts. After Limbaugh several weeks ago used rude words to describe a Georgetown law school feminist activist who wants taxpayers to finance her contraception, the Los Angeles city council last week entered the realm of government censorship of the airwaves.
By 13-to-2 vote the L.A. City Council called on "management of radio and television stations in Los Angeles to do everything in their power to ensure that their on-air hosts do not use and promote racist and sexist slurs over public airwaves in the City of Los Angeles."

Karen,,,you ignorant slut.
It will backfire eventually, as they will always overplay their hand. This is a Wellstone funeral moment. The reason why this will hurt them is there are so far no Republicans in the scene, it is black vs. latino. If they overplay, and they will, the latinos will push back. These are two required Dem constituencies being pitted against each other.

The shooting happened almost a month ago, where the hell has the media been since then? Seems to me they are trying everything to incite a race war. I read to my Mom what the left has been saying and she said “Only idiots will believe this garbage, and those idiots Obama already has voting for him so this won’t hurt one bit” she’s right..who will believe this garbage, only morons..and those morons are already going to vote for Obama so we never had a shot at them anyway. People with an IQ over plant life will see this for what it is, the left using a tragic event to their advantage, gee where have I see this before..oh yeah, Gabby Giffords, they loved that and unfortunately some of the BS worked, but not this time
Ed Schultz should go jump in a lake, no one would miss that blubbering idiot
Dang thats him? Doesn’t look like the chubby cheek looking kid they keep on showing in the media, gee I wonder why
Is Karen Finney a card carrying member of the Soros world-domination army?
Didn't their one-world playbook also shout loud and clear that "talk radio" was totally responsible for congresswoman Gifford's attempted assasination?
How did that work out for them?
Blacks will vote for him no matter what, but if this incident keeps building, it might be seen as anti latino. When after the facts finally come out and if it is interpreted as blacks unfairly dumping on an innocent latino, it could surpress the latino vote for Obama, who otherwise would have supported him strongly.
Have you seen this? It reads EXACTLY like I thought it would.
Do you have a link for the photo? If true, it’s 180 degrees from the depiction of Martin as this boyish-looking, gangly shrimp of a teen.
Well the only way people will find out that he is half latino is if the media reports it, ABC 7 here in LA actually reported on Zimmerman being half hispanic so I was shocked..but you can bet that MSDNC and CNN won’t mention it, doesn’t fit into their “Gotta get Obama elected no matter if we have to destroy this country to get it done” agenda
I knew something didn’t look right from the photos they were releasing..the one with him wearing the shirt, he looked 12 years old..and the one with him wearing his football uniform he looked maybe 15, gee media, maybe ya wanna show some updated photos of this 17 year old? Nah, they won’t do it, gotta show him as a little chubby cheek looking kid that you just want to squeeze his little cheeks
Sigh. It’s the moonbats at MSNBC. What else would we expect them to say?
That’s the communist agitation at it’s best.
They NEED violence to reelect their 0bastard without an election!
They feel so close, yet so far. Violence is their catalyst, they think.
Isn’t he full of crap? His son would be so “elite” it would be ridiculous...the “meanest” streets that kid would ever see would be Chicago’s Magnificent Mile;)
this is going to put a muzzle on the ed shultz, mike mallory and keith olberman shows. maher is off the hook because he is on satellite.
The ARMED CITIZEN defended himself.
It's as simple as that.
Not this crap again.
Well, can't let a crisis go to waste, ya know.
Got to keep the majority's mind off all of Hussein's ID forgeries, his school records, his base, the Keystone fiasco, the Solyndra disaster, the slide into national bankruptcy and his continued incompetence as a leader and 'uniter..."
What better tool than a race war?
