In an interview on Fox News, Sarah Palin said she thinks the president’s comments about Trayvon Martin were orchestrated, according to a report by Todd Starnes.

She … called out President Obama – saying he should not have jumped into the growing outrage over the shooting.

“I think it was orchestrated,” Palin said. “I’m going to get clobbered for even suggesting this, but it is what I believe.”

The president addressed the shooting in the Rose Garden.

“My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. You know, if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” Obama said. “All of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves.”

“Obviously, this is a tragedy. I can only imagine what these parents are going through,” Obama said. “All of us have to do some soul searching to figure out how something like this has happened.

Palin said she was “very, very surprised out of all the issues that are going on in our country today that the president” would have taken a question about the Martin case.

[Alas Babylon!]

Historically, cases of murder and violence against blacks in the United States rarely have been given the same amount of attention as cases in which the victims of crime are white—and often go unnoticed and unprosecuted.

That's because, historically, at least over the past several decades, almost all interracial crime has been by black perpetrators against white victims. Historically,over the past few decades, ALL crime where the perpetrator is white and the victim black is loudly covered: Rodney King, James Bird, the Duke Lacrosse team, to mention a few.

What this lawyer means by historically, is pre-Civil Rights era. Now, we can't go back and change the past, so he's got us there, but to imply things haven't changed and changed radically in this regard is a fraud and a lie.

Now that is what I would call orchestration. I wonder if our community organizer in-chief has been in the loop all along.

“She knows this is just for votes.”

It cost him a Senate seat in MA the last time he involved himself in a local law enforcement matter; he’s appealing for votes from people that are utterly beholden to his Bolshevik Party. Did he think they’d go for Romney?
