If last night you failed to watch the Fox News family of cable channels, you missed one hell of a scoop. Sean Hannity informed his audience of a story that was broken hours earlier by the legal watchdogs/gadflies (depending on your politics) at Judicial Watch. “A little-known unit of the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Community Relations Service (CRS), was deployed to Sanford, FL, following the Trayvon Martin shooting,” reported Judicial Watch. Its mission: “to help organize and manage rallies and protests against George Zimmerman.”
Hannity was shocked. “We learned today that [President Obama’s] Justice Department got involved in this case through their own Community Relations Service,” he told Pat Buchanan. “What does that say about the administration? Should they have been involved?”
“They should not,” pronounced Buchanan.
Over on the Fox Business Channel, another sage of interracial politics was fulminating about this “little-known unit” and its meddling.
“Instead of following their stated mission of preventing racial and ethnic tensions,” said Lou Dobbs, “they allegedly helped to organize anti-Zimmerman demonstrations. We have talked and reported to you a great deal on this broadcast about the politicization of the Justice Department, but I don't think anyone covering this story anticipated such a thing as what we have just reported to you.”(continued)

Theory? The documents have been publicly exposed.
I guess we are supposed to ignore all those DOJ documents that Judicial Watch found.
Documents become “theories” when they’re in the hands of Republicans.
Slate in damage-control mode for Eric and Barry.
If he’s acquitted there’s going to be no rioting, not even a peep because deep down they know Zimmerman was right. The problem is the liberals and RINOs who cower into a fetal position anytime race baiters like the media, Sharpton and the twice unconstitutionally elected admitted foreign born Kenyan open their mouths. “Oh oh yes sir yes sir! Whatever you say sir!”
Slut never fails to amuse....
Ah, ‘demonize those whom you FEAR.’ The Truth will win out.
these people can’t understand facts and have to lie to live in their liberal socialist utopia with a smile on their face whilst telling others how smart they are
that is a good one
help me explain it to him... daveweigel@gmail.com
Follow the Skittles right back to the White Hut
problem is that those dumb idiots who read this crap actually think it’s the truth and will repeat the crap and trust me I have come across these fools and to see their face look confused when given facts outside their slate or DU .com sites is priceless
It’s like they are daring white people who are heavily armed to go to Florida and do the work the police won’t do.
Just kind of hard to imagine how this group riots against people who have been prepping for riots for 8 plus years and survive.
YES YES...AND BY THE BY what OTHER CRUCIAL facts HAVE We NOT HEARD BECAUSE no one but ANN COULTER has been PRESCIENT enough to point them out...LETS SEE WHAT PRINCESS ANN TELLS US NO ONE ELSE HAS BOTHERED TO POINT OUT....IE. WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT HER! SEEMS TO ME LIKE.. SHE’S SORT OF WORTH HER WEIGHT IN GOLD... TAKE A GANDER..
There were at least eight burglaries in the 14 months before Zimmerman’s encounter with Martin. Numerous media accounts admit that “most” of these were committed by black males. I’m waiting to hear about a single crime at Twin Lakes that was not committed by a black male.
Just six months before Zimmerman’s encounter with Martin, two men had broken into the home of a neighbor, Olivia Bertalan, while she was alone with her infant son. She had just enough time to call 911 before running upstairs and locking herself in a room. The burglars knew she was home, but proceeded to rob the place anyway, even trying to enter the locked room where she held her crying child.
Bertalan had seen the burglars just before they broke into her house — one at the front door and one at the back. They were young black males. They lived in the Retreat by Twin Lakes.
In another case, a black teenager strode up to Zimmerman’s house and, in broad daylight, stole a bicycle off the front porch. The bike was never recovered.
Weeks before Zimmerman saw Martin, he witnessed another young black male peering into the window of a neighbor’s house. He called the cops, but by the time they arrived, the suspect was gone.
A few days later, another house was burglarized. The thieves made off with jewelry and a new laptop. Roofers working across the street had seen two black teenagers near the house at the time of the robbery. When they spotted one of the teens the next day, they called the police.
This time, the roofers followed the suspect so he wouldn’t get away. The cops arrived and found the stolen laptop in his backpack. This was the same black teenager Zimmerman had seen looking in a neighbor’s window.
The only reason it’s hard to imagine the Zimmerman case with the races reversed is that it’s hard to imagine a white teenager living in a mixed-race, middle-class community, mugging a black homeowner. This is not a problem of society’s reactions, but of the facts.
There is, however, at least one case of a black homeowner fatally shooting a white troublemaker. He was not charged with murder.
In 2006, the ironically named John White was sound asleep at his nice Long Island home when his teenage son woke him to say there was a mob of white kids shouting epithets in front of the house. The family was in no imminent danger. They could have called 911 and remained safely behind locked doors.
But White grabbed a loaded Beretta and headed out to the end of the driveway to confront the mob. A scuffle ensued and White ended up shooting one of the kids in the face, killing him.
White was charged and convicted only of illegal weapons possession — this was New York, after all — and involuntary manslaughter. He was sentenced to 20 months-to-four years in prison, but after serving five months was pardoned by Gov. David Paterson.
With all due compassion for the kid who was killed, the public was overwhelmingly on the father’s side — a fact still evident in Internet postings about the case. The kids were punks menacing a law-abiding homeowner. Even the prosecutor complained only that Paterson hadn’t called the victim’s family first.
The local NAACP had campaigned aggressively on White’s behalf. There were no threats to riot in case of an acquittal.
The centerpiece of White’s self-defense argument was his recollection of his grandfather’s stories about the Ku Klux Klan. George Zimmerman’s memory of young black males committing crimes at Twin Lakes is somewhat more recent.
John White wasn’t jumped, knocked to the ground, repeatedly punched, and his skull knocked against the ground. He wasn’t even touched, though he claimed the white teen was lunging at him. Talk about no reason to “follow,” there was no reason for him to leave the safety of his locked home. White’s son knew the kids by name. They could have waited for the cops.
So, yes, this case probably would be very different if Zimmerman and Martin’s races were reversed. It is only when the victim is black that we must have a show trial, a million-dollar reward paid to the victim’s parents and the threat of r
It is hard to imagine an administation as honest and open as this one doing such a thing. :-)
How much is Coulter’s publicist paying you, anyway?
Your Coulter-worship is nauseating.
