The online German translator agrees with you. My German teacher must have been an idiot. Or I was paying too much attention to the frauleins ...

My question was who was Jewish. There could be Peruvian Jews and German Jews, German-named American Jews, or neither of them might be a Jew. Also, it really has no bearing on this shooting in my view.

> And I always thought that ‘zimmer’ meant tailor?! [photo of Men’s Warehouse Zimmer]

I see that you’re joking. “Schneider” means tailor for those who are curious. “Zimmer” means room, and according to the German Wikipedia, “Der Familienname Zimmermann ist abgeleitet von dem Beruf des Zimmermanns” [The surname Zimmermann is derived from the occupation of carpenter]. It’s possible, of course, for someone to have that name and be Jewish, but it’s a common German name (the 20th most common according to Wikipedia), so there’s no reason to assume it. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmermann_%28Familienname%29

Whatever his ancestry it’s outrageous the way racist panderers are condemning him without hearing his side of the story.

Someone suggested to me that there may be an undercurrent of anti-semitism in this case. It’s quite possible, I think.

This supposedly unbiased reporting is getting out of hand. First the NBP putting up a $10k Dead or Alive poster out on Zimmerman and now this T-Shirt of “Pussy Ass Cracker” with a photo of Zimmerman. How would the media and the racist blacks out there handle themselves if a T-Shirt was made with a the photo of Travon with the gold teeth and tattoos along with a 3 word statement using Trayvon's twitter name “Dirt Napping Nigga”, after all his self appointed twitter account name was Martin tweeted under the handle “NO_LIMIT_NIGGA”.

The leftist liberals and the tolerant blacks would go berserk.

I apologize to any conservative that was offended with with above but it is a question I feel needs to asked. As for any bleeding heart liberal my suggestion would involve doing something with SAND.

” “Zimmer” means room, and according to the German Wikipedia”

Wrong dictionary. According to the MSM dictionary, a Zimmerman is a latino who is whitewashed with cracker Photoshop, and he may or may not eat bagels.

It’s his father’s name-his mother is Hispanic.

Hispanics with non-Hispanic names have risen to prominence from time to time. In the 1890's, the Spanish general Don Valeriano Weyler y Nicolau gained notoriety when his unsuccessful effort to put down the rebellion in Cuba led to many deaths. In the 1980's, Mexico had an oil minister named Juan Eibenscutz. In Chile, General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte overthrew the Red regime headed by Salvador Allende in 1973, while a couple years later, Leopoldo Galtieri led a coup d'etat in neighboring Argentina. At about the same time, Guatemala had a president named Kjell Laugerud Garcia.

The Coast Guard Training ship, a tall ship, named “Eagle” was originally named the “Horst Wessel” after a “martyr” in the Nazi cause.

“unfortunate” is the liberals word they use when they don’t have the guts to criticize another liberal group/demographic group doing something awful that they’d never let conservatives get away with.

I guess the public schools need to spend more time teaching racial hatred and bigotry so these sign-makers can get their references correct /sarc

Ummm, 'teachers' are union members - and the kid in the picture is a product of our school system ... what can you expect?

Nothing unfortunate about it. It readily identifies the wearer as stupid and of little societal worth.
