As we await the verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman, the Florida man who claims to have shot and killed teenager Trayvon Martin in self-defense, this seems the perfect time to reflect on the media's cynical and dishonest role in turning a local crime into a national obsession.

Guilty Until Proven Innocent: How The Press Prosecuted Zimmerman While Stoking Racial Tensions

Thanks, GOPJ.
Sharpton said don’t talk to us like we stupid don’t talk to us like we ignant...
The ‘press’ has every intention of NOT giving any coverage to blacks rioting. Riots hurt the illusion of democrats being the party of ‘oh so tolerant’ liberals... rather than the party that is propped up by a dependent angry black underclass.
Some of the points you make in those posts are good.
Mincing around going “Neeneer Neener” is irrelevant.
When you’re standing a post on the wire, and you know the hostiles are out there, they don’t attack when YOU’RE ready. They attack when THEY’RE ready. Complacency kills.
One of the endearing things about FR is that it’s MASSIVE. We have the numbers to keep folks focused on numerous issues: the COLB, the Muslim threat, the caving of the eGOP, the creeping horror against the Constitution, and the uncivil rights threat, just to name a few.
You are, rightly so, looking at the long game (2014). While I personally think the next selection cycle is a useless exercise, we need the eyes-on that FR provides. And that includes you.
Be Prepared. They Are...
Last week you said the exact opposite to me, that libs want us to see, or at least dont care if we see, the blacks riot:

You don’t think riots help democrats? Gimme a break - it keeps all their ‘victim groups’ in line. Besides democrats don’t need the respectable or white vote anyhow. They’re the party of criminals...

I especially like the part 'gimme a break' when you were telling me the opposite.
My point was and is a regular one that being completely wrong about what dems are up to and how they plan on going about it usually ends in disaster.
Dems wont be beaten that way.
by nonwhites after this would be useful to Dems, but with Obama as POTUS and them still pushing gun control (one great example) and even immigration it was ridiculous to think that black violence would help Dems or progressives causes or that they want it,
What they really Dream of is armed Tea party members gunning down peaceful BLACK protesters (as an example). That would be the ammunition they need.
Here's an example of the silliness that I get pinged with: #25
Some text disappeared , sorry try:
‘If GWB was POTUS for example then rioting by nonwhites after this would be useful to Dems....’’’
Wow, those posts are extremely contradictory.
I guess he changed his mind. ;d
Excellent time line
We also, this morning, find this:
Obama Responds: 'STEM THE TIDE OF GUN VIOLENCE'--FOR TRAYVON
Never let a crisis go to waste - and this crisis still has mileage.
That was my point. Its useful to Obama and progressives to have peaceful protests to further those causes, new laws, getting out the vote, etc.
If he/they prompted violent riots then what kind of argument would that make for gun control?
They should all be disbarred immediately.
Thanks, that was insanity island.
One theory I have is that they made these silly claims up that violence would help Obama because they thought Zimm would lose and get convicted and then they could claim the jury was intimidated by the threat of riots, and in that case of conviction you wouldn't expect riots so it wouldn't be disproved.
But given that the prosecution was losing their case those quotes look pretty dumb, hell less than aweek old.
and now you have Corey and her prosecution team on ABC throwing the jury and justice system under the bus calling Zimmerman a cold blooded killer who got away with murder.
Why are they still collecting a government paycheck especially after that interview???
File charges against the entire lair and then ask the judge for a gag order
Otoh. Every word they say against Z will be used in the malicious prosecution case
Of Z s civil right case
So you're right about my comments - the press and dems were pushing the IDEA of riots - my guess as a way of influencing the outcome.
It didn't work.
Now they're in Plan B witch is 'we're still wonderful - we didn't lose the case - and only a few are acting out' or whatever term they'll find to downplay the mess. IF downplaying works best for them.
For now Dems are worrying about backlash - they don't want to be identified as the party of angry blacks propping up white liberal elites living around DC ( which is what they are) so the tactics will change as necessary.
The easiest way to see this process of liberal 'change' in action is to read the Drudge Report then compare that coverage to your average liberal newspaper. Drudge will follow the news - newspapers follow the democrat line. The rest of the MSM follows newspapers.
'It's not News until the New York Times says it's news' is strangely factual.
If riots aren't covered except on page 4 - at the bottom - it means dems don't want people talking about riots. If threats of violence are on page one - it means threats work at that time. When fudge excuses like 'we don't want to encourage' the few who are acting out appears, it means they're starting to lose control of the story. That's my guess. Who knows?
Just remember that Dems are vile - but they're not stupid. They'll can change on a dime if one idea focus tests better than another.
The Dems were not suggesting riots. They were saying that the suggestion that blacks would riot over this was racist. They were saying the exact opposite of above. They are saying that now and they were saying that last week. They are on TV saying that today.
It was you suggesting they would riot here when you were pinging me..
I know you always tell me you cant stand listening to Dems, yet you post this stuff that you are claiming that they are saying when like above its the opposite.
Is your purpose purely motivational?
The way to know what Dems are ‘saying’ is to listen to what they are ‘saying’ That works 100%. . This is very simple.
You’re right, even if you’re misspelling your own name, volumebeer!
