THANK YOU, For the post.
Nicely played...NBC...deeeeeep pockets, and all parties associated with NBC. Makes me smile.
[[Zimmerman, who is Hispanic and is charged with second-degree murder,]]
hmmmm- that’s funny, now that dear leader has another 4 years to destroy this country even further, george is being referred to as hispanic instead of white- wieeeeerd!
I have been waiting for a long time for someone to stand up and call the slandering media out... I’m thankful for Zimmerman.
Now I have a question— could all registered republicans file a class action suit against any of the myriad of dems who have called republicans racists or back-to-chains people or yada yada yada... BEcause if that were possible that would be awesome...
I am tired of being slandered... and I have felt for a long time that the only thing that gets the attention of the media or dems is litigation... they have no conscience, no shame, no integrity that can be violated..
AGain, would a registered republicans class action slander suit be remotely possible? thanks for listening everybody.
Nope, Zimmerman is German on his dad’s side and Hispanic/black on his mom’s side.
“white” George Zimmerman is more black (1/4th) than “indian” Elizabeth Warren (1/32th)

George Zimmerman Has ‘Black Roots’

See, that’s the thing - there isn’t really a boundary between the two. If you want to be influential but you don’t want to do anything, you have to make talk seem more important than action. If you can do that you can attract an audience which you can then deliver to advertisers, which is how you monetize your influence. But promoting your own influence is sine qua non.Journalists promote their own influence by warning the public of “dangers” which it wouldn’t know about otherwise. Of course you have the advantage in perceiving these dangers, especially if you make them up out of whole cloth. The “danger” posed by George Zimmerman is that he “is an armed bigot who will shoot you for no reason if you aren’t white.” You wouldn’t know that if journalism - all of journalism, actually, not just NBC - didn’t tell you (why would you, since it actually isn’t true??).
I’m delighted that Z. is suing NBC; I would have done so the day after that calumny was aired. But this affair is actually a golden opportunity, precisely because its effects are so awful. Zimmerman - actually, all non-blacks - are severely damaged by the promotion of the trope aired by NBC (and it actually doesn’t do blacks as a whole any favors, because while it promotes paranoia among blacks it causes suspicion among whites who have to consider the possibility that the black before them might be out for “revenge for Martin”). Zimmerman personally can obviously adduce great harm. And I emphasize the fact that NBC was merely acting as part of the pack of journalistic institutions when it committed that most egregious fraud by editing the tape the way it did. The other institutions were convicting Zimmerman in the press long before that.
And, not to be conspiratorial about it but just to be factual, all major journalism institutions are in cahoots. They are formally associated. Ever hear of the Associated Press?
"People of the same trade seldom meet together even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public or some contrivance to raise prices." - Adam SmithThe Associated Press newswire is a continuous, 24/7 virtual meeting of the membership of the AP which has been uninterrupted since the Civil War. It is impossible that the result could be anything other than that all member institutions should go along and get along - meaning, they cooperate in exaggerating the importance of journalism. They cooperate in promoting the fiction of “journalistic objectivity.” And they do that precisely by homogenizing journalism, and calling their unity “objectivity.”Granted that if they all were objective, it would seem natural that objectivity would be the same for all - but where is the guarantee that unity is because of objectivity, rather than because of common motive? There is none. The reality is that objectivity is difficult or impossible, and can only be attempted by starting with an open analysis of your own motives and interests. But that is precisely the opposite of claiming to actually be objective. It is also the opposite of joining an organization (such as the AP or a member institution thereof) which you know will claim objectivity for you, even if you don’t openly claim it for yourself.
The conclusion is that journalism as an institution is not without its own peculiar interests, and that it does not actually try to attain objectivity. All claims to the contrary are propaganda. It is not merely NBC but all of the Associated Press which should be sued. Sued into oblivion.
The case was picked up by the Obama campaign. Axelrod needed an issue to cement the black vote since Obama’s policies have devastated and will continue to devastate them. Look at what Cook County Democrats have done for blacks over the last 100 years.
Sounds like a good start.
He’s definitely got quite a case.
Not that I would know, but I wonder if the New Black Panther Party has ANY assets at all anywhere? Not sure if they’re an actual organization or just a leaderless racial terror cell. It wouls seem like they would have to have some moron somewhere that claims to be the organizational part of the group maybe? I want them to be forced to hand deliver the payment to Zimmerman in dimes!
Hmmmm? And how about the Martins? If he wins would they not try to bring a larger suit vs Zimmerman? Looks like all the victims can make $$$ on Trayvon.
I find it odd that Zimmerman filed a complaint against NBC, etal, because of editing the audio tape of his 911 call ... then in his complaint he edited the tape himself.
“f’ning _oons” ... or “f’ning punks” ... or “f’ning cold” ... whatever he said - he left that part out.
The changing of the audio was intentional and deliberate, with full knowledge and awareness. There is no excuse. Zim should own NBC when it’s over.
The left is opportunistic. They troll the news for events that they can blow up out of proportion and use for their purposes. This happened during the election campaign. They wanted to gin up a little more White Guilt to get their man reelected. Their man was fully aware of what was going on, and chimed in with his “looks like my son” thing.
The media knew what their role was - to pump up the story and turn it into a “White” against “Black” issue.
I hate it when the media says things like “Zimmerman, who is White” or “Martin, who was Black.”
What am I to understand by that? What is the assumption behind the words “White” and “Black?”
Obviously, it’s that “Whites hate Blacks and kill them out of pure hate, and never for self defense.”
I resent that assumption.
I think this was done for political purposes before the election. Like good socialists they don’t care who they throw under the bus, as long as they get the desired outcome. Notice how these guys are not referring to Zimmerman as a “white hispanic”.

George Zimmerman Video Shows Little Evidence of a Broken Nose, Doctor Claims

But Dr. Vidor Friedman, president of the Florida College of Emergency Physicians, remains unconvinced.
"If somebody had been beating his head against concrete I'd think we'd see more obvious scrapes," Friedman said. He also said he would expect to see bandages on Zimmerman's head.
More significantly for Friedman was the condition of Zimmerman's nose.
"All of the ridges in his nose are clearly defined. You would expect significant swelling in the hour or two after a break. There appears to be none. It doesn't look like his nose was broken or badly broken," Friedman said.
