George Zimmerman earned a new title today — professional artist — when eBay bidding ended on his six-figure oil painting.

The winning bid: $100,099.99.

It wasn't immediately known who bought Zimmerman's original oil painting showing part of an American flag washed in blue with the words "God," "one nation," and "with liberty and justice for all" printed in the flag stripes.

Bidding ended at 12:55 p.m. today.

"Whoever wins within the Continental United States, will receive this painting delivered by me personally. Your friend," Zimmerman told his commenters on the eBay auction site.

I can't wait for liberals heads to explode over this.

PING!

Good!

The poor guy went through so much, there isn’t sufficient money to compensate him — but this at least will help.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Whoever wins within the Continental United States, will receive this painting delivered by me................................. Great, the winning bidder may be the New BlacK Panthers? s/

[Las Vegas Ron]

Awesome, good for George!!

I hope he takes the money and hides for a while!!

[Slyfox]

It is only fair that he receive compensation for his pain and suffering

Trevon's mom is writing a tell-all book in which she will receive 10% of the sales.

- Now go buy a pair of .45’s George -

[Parley Baer]

I bet his “girlfriend” already has plans for that money.

Either it’s a fake bid or some conservative with a lot of money wants to help him out and all I can say is God bless, I would do the same thing if I had that kind of loot. Hope Zimmermans NBC suit is going on as well as are the lawsuits I hope his lawyer is preparing against all these other celebrity Marxists like Spike Lee who no question attempted to have him murdered.

I’m amazed that eBay let the auction run.

The buyer has a feedback rating of 3. Will GZ get paid?

We shall see.

Whoever wins within the Continental United States, will receive this painting delivered by me personally.

Hopefully it's a buyer in some remote location out north and west that is too cold and remote for chicky.

And when he is there for his delivery he can check out the cabin rentals for starving artists.

[GeronL]

hope that is a real bid

[napscoordinator]

Hopefully he uses this money to move out of the country FOREVER!

[CodeToad]

Good for Z! I was actually a decent painting.

[rawhide]

Zimmerman's painting.

[Sacajaweau]

Bidders with real low numbers are "professional" buyers. He'll get paid.

Here comes the tax man.

Ran into this the other day. Thought folks might want to know it's out there... the premise at least. So for those who haven't seen this yet...

Someone here linked a similar site the other day.

Found it now on Alan Colmbes (sp?) site just now.

I predict that George Zimmerman will earn $18,452,392.43 from his artwork during his career.

He will have deserved every penny of it.

AMEN INO...

THIS VALIANT KID WHO DID NOT 'STAY IN THE TRUCK' WHEN A MENACE SHOWED UP SKULKING THRU A CONDO PEOPLED WITH THE OLD AND INFIRM WAITING TO BE VICTIMIZED AND AT THE LEAST SCARED TO DEATH (A FEAR THAT'D HAD LIVED WITH THEM FOREVER.) INSTEAD OF ENDANGERING THEM BY FAILING TO MEET THE THREAT....MR ZIMMERMAN STEPPED FORWARD TO DEFEND AGAINST THAT REAL THREAT....

HE'S A HERO IN MY BOOK AND SHOULD BE IN THE MINDS OF RIGHT THINKING AMERICANS EVERYWHERE...WHAT HE DID SHOULD BE AN EXAMPLE TO US ALL HE'S A FIRST CLASS HERO...

At one point the bidding reached $110,100 (IIRC). The high bidder(s) must have proved bogus.
