Obama Big Loser in Zimmerman Trial

Forget the over-zealous prosecutors and the repellent state attorney Angela Corey (who should be immediately disbarred or, my wife said sarcastically, elevated to director of Homeland Security) and even the unfortunate Trayvon Martin family (although it is certainly hard to forget them — they have our profound sympathies), the true loser at the Zimmerman trial was Barack Obama.

By injecting himself in a minor Florida criminal case by implying Martin could be his son, the president of the United States — a former law professor, of all things — disgraced himself and his office, made a mockery of our legal system and exacerbated racial tensions in our country, making them worse than they have been in years. This is the work of a reactionary, someone who consciously/unconsciously wants to push our nation back to the 1950s.

It is also the work of a narcissist who thinks of himself first, of his image, not of black, white or any other kind of people. It’s no accident that race relations in our country have gone backwards during his stewardship.

Congratulations to the jury for not acceding to this tremendous pressure and delivering the only conceivable honest verdict. This case should never have been brought to trial. It was, quite literally, the first American Stalinist “show trial.” There was, virtually, no evidence to convict George Zimmerman. It was a great day for justice that this travesty was finally brought to a halt.

We all know Al Sharpton, the execrable race baiter of Tawana Brawley and Crown Heights, agitated publicly for this trial more than anyone else. But he most likely would not have succeeded had it not been for Obama’s tacit support. As far as I know this is unprecedented in our history (a president involving himself in a trial of this nature).

George Zimmerman will never live a normal life. The American public have been polarized with emotions stirred up for absolutely no reason. Racism is essentially manufactured, as if it were a commodity.

Obama is NOT a former law professor

[MrChips]

Yeah, well, he disgraces himself every single day, anyway.

[mountainlion]

Who is Obama?
He said “police acted stupidly” to arrest a professor.
Transparent?
No taxes over 200,000
Everything is Bush's fault.
...

How much proof to you need to call someone a liar?

[Average Al]

Obama didn't loose anything by that verdict. It just demonstrates his racial prejudices are warranted with his base.....

[VanDeKoik]

He doesn’t have to live one.

He can now sue for millions, and retire anywhere in the world he wants in comfort.

You could easily add: "and help insure his victory in the 2012 election by riling up his base".

If you agree then you understand the real, tactical reason that Zimmerman was fingered as a target by the Left.

[Will88]

or, my wife said sarcastically, elevated to director of Homeland Security)...

His wife has great powers of perception. Who could possibly be more qualified to carry on in the tradition of Big Sis than Angela Corey?

[atc23]

Indeed. Obama/Soetoro is a former AA guest lecturer on social justice. That’s a long way from law professor.

[mosaicwolf]

Me thinks a “Beer Summit” with Zimmerman and Martin's family will solve all these political issues. //sarcasm off//

[Will88]

By injecting himself in a minor Florida criminal case by implying Martin could be his son, the president of the United States...

Just falling back on his background as a community agitator who had no qualifications to be president.

[Red in Blue PA]

Everything obama touches or opines on turns to crap.

Absolutely amazing how one person can be so consistently wrong.

[ronnie raygun]

Nice to add titles freely on to a name and not be questioned about it.

Zimmerman: Plenty of guilt left over

by: Henry Mark Holzer

In celebration of George Zimmerman being found not guilty we can not lose sight of the many others that in connection with the case are guilty.

The president who put his thumb on the scales of justice with the gratuitous observation that had he a son the boy would look like Trayvon Martin.

The race-driven Attorney General of the United States who sent federal employees into the State of Florida to create a frenzy of rabble demanding George Zimmerman’s scalp.

The mostly Negro rabble itself, inflamed by Al Sharpton and his cohort of race hustlers.

The TV network that doctored a tape of Zimmerman, making it appear that he was a racist.

The complicit media who, without knowing any of the facts, convicted Zimmerman even before Trayvon Martin’s body was cold.

The cowardly Governor of Florida who, fearing the mob, appointed a special prosecutor when local law enforcement didn’t even arrest Zimmerman.

The compliant Attorney General of Florida, a purported conservative, who at minimum acquiesced in the special prosecutor’s appointment and who may have had a large role in choosing her.

The special prosecutor herself whose press conference announcement of the overcharging complaint (she never went to a grand jury) for murder 2 sounded like a glowing eulogy for Trayvon Martin and a vicious condemnation of George Zimmerman.

The unethical assistant prosecutors who, as Professor Dershowitz said, should be disciplined by the bar association because they violated Zimmerman’s constitutional rights by withholding exculpatory evidence and denying the defense discovery to which they had a legal right. Let alone trying a case they could never prove.

The biased, incompetent trial judge who committed at least three reversible errors: excluding the exculpatory evidence contained in Trayvon Martin’s phone, failing to dismiss the case at the end of the prosecution and defense’s cases, and charging the jury on manslaughter of which there was not a shred of evidence—thus giving the jury a possible compromise verdict.

Yes, as the defense said after the not guilty verdict, justice triumphed for George Zimmerman.

But manifest, fearful injustice remains. Especially because none of those who conspired to railroad George Zimmerman—the “White Hispanic”!—will ever pay any price.

One can’t help wondering . . . who’s next?

A clearly shaken NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous...

He referenced another killing of a black youth that many have compared to the Trayvon Martin slaying, the 1955 killing of 14-year-old Emmett Till, who was killed in Mississippi for allegedly flirting with a white woman.

It boggles the mind to see the muddled thinking on display regarding the Zimmerman/Martin incident.

Here NAACP Justice compares Martin's predicament to that of Emmett Till. Till is described as being killed for flirting with a white woman. How is Trayvon imagined to be the victim of that level of racism? How is appearing to be casing homes for potential vandalism later the same as merely flirting with a white woman?

Why is Martin getting this type of support? Is it okay to sneak around behind homes in the middle of the night, apparently checking them out. Think about this. How long does it take to traverse through a housing tract like this? If you're bookin' it, it wouldn't take you more than a few minutes. Here we seem to have a guy loitering around behind or in between homes, checking them out. He isn't bookin' it. He's taking his sweet time. Why? Isn't it rather obvious he was not just walking back home?
 
Zimmerman observes, makes a phone call, leaves his vehicle, checks out the address, heads back to his car, all the while Martin is still not headed back to his Dad's home.

Something was up here. Zimmerman was on to something. It seem obvious that he was.

Is it now a civil right to case potential crime scenes? I doubt that. So what is going on here is racism on display. Martin was black. That's where the story line ends for the race baiting set. It's where the story line ends for those who condemn Zimmerman.

The black woman in the video at the LINK stated she would have probably voted Zimmerman not-guilty too, based on what was presented to the jury.  None the less she thinks justice was not served here.  This truly made sense to her.  She evidently saw no racism in her take on things.  The black kid was dead.  It had to be racism.  This evidently came from her very core beliefs.

Racism was and still is a problem in America. At one time some whites were prejudiced against blacks. Most of that has diminished. What has taken it's place, is the polar opposite. Now it's some blacks who are prejudiced against whites.

If Martin were the victim of racism, I would defend him. This was not racism on display. It was a young man seemingly up to no good on display. The real crime on display here, is that some blacks can't objectively look at this and realize Martin was at fault. He wasn't simply walking back to his dad's place. He wasn't approached and hassled by Zimmerman. He wasn't placed in a bad situation by a racist. Martin was the problem. He wound up beating a man up, breaking his nose and pounding his head into the cement.

How do you judge a young kid like this to be the victim? He was perpetrating a serious crime.

What we see here, are people for whom race trumps everything else. There is no guilt, if you're black. If you're black you can do anything to anyone, and it's justified. You can pound someone's head into the cement if you like. You are justified. You can pummel their face if you like. You are justified. If someone objects, and fights back, they are not justified. If they can't physically defend themselves and use a gun, they are the problem, the black man isn't.

This is pure racism. Is this what Martin Luther King fought for?

We have a community that is racist. We have a broader group of people in America who are racist. We have a Justice Department head who is a racist. We have a president who is a racist.

Welcome to the ultimate end game of white guilt.

We have a massive amount of self-examination needed in this nation. This time, it does not involve whites.

At some point in time, the criminal must be assessed for being who he is regardless of race. I am sorry that a 17 year old kid is dead today. I don't care what his race was. I care that he made poor choices and paid the ultimate price for it. Although I am sorry he is dead, I recognize the part he played in it. He started a chain of events, that he couldn't back down from, he didn't back down from, and ultimately it cost him his life.

Somewhere in the fabric of this kid's life, it was instilled in him that he could do no wrong. His skin was black, and he was justified in anything he could imagine to do.

There is a sickness in the land...

By injecting himself in a minor Florida criminal case by implying Martin could be his son, the president of the United States — a former law professor, of all things — disgraced himself and his office

Obama show himself to be the President of Black citizens, not President of the Unite States. He disgraced the office - he disgraced all of us ...

[Logical me]

Further proof that this President is nothing but garbage. He is a communists BLACK Muslim and impeach. How much more should we put up with?

[Cowboy Bob]

For a guy who was the President of the Law Review at Harvard, it's funny that all he could get was a part-time job as a “lecturer” at the University of Chicago. A low level position that does not lead to a tenured position.

Why is it that the President of the Harvard Law Review didn't land a job as a clerk at the Supreme Court, or with some other federal judge, or with a prestigious law firm on Wall Street?

[fso301]

This case was win-win for the Democrats. Hussein could use it to stir the blacks up and rally them to vote in 2012.

Post election, the case served to distract blacks from the fact that obama has done zero for them and that they as a group are much worse off than they were during the Bush years.

The jury verdict will be used to remind blacks that the nation is still overwhelmingly racist and that problems blacks are having has nothing to do with obama's mismanagement of the nation and everything to do with a racist society in which the only safe have for blacks is within the Democratic party.
