And it also points out how the MSM decided to push this story.

With so many tragic events, shootings, crime stories, people being killed, why did the MSM hone in on this story, and decide to give saturation coverage to it?

There have been so many stories about this in the news, in magazines, on the internet.

Trayvon Martin is the cover story of People magazine this week.

Soledad O’Brien on CNN had her panties in a twist last night as she did a special on this case.

I think the media ran with the story because they thought it was a case of a white racist shooting an innocent young black man for no reason.

The name George Zimmerman sounds like a white man. In fact he’s Hispanic. So they decided to call him a white Hispanic to keep the racial angle alive in the case.

As many here have observed, there have been so many gang related shootings and killings, almost all victims and perpetrators black, yet they focus on this one rare case to convince us that the biggest threat to young black men is a racist with a gun.

In fact, the biggest threat to young black men are other black men with guns. But that doesn’t fit into the template of how America is racist and all of that.

I actually went to Sanford today around 1:30. They have a nice market downtown and it was as busy as ever. After some shopping I stopped in the grocery store next to where they were loading the out of town buses from the protest. Seemed to be a rather small crowd of mostly women. I think the actual citizens of Sanford are tired of the protesting and have just decided to get on with business as usual. I think the MSM is worried that people may start paying attention to Obama’s failures so they are desperately trying to create more controversy.

Obama’s internal polling shows him losing in November — BAD. It is the only explanantion. None of his base is energized enough to even want to go to the polls. Therefore, create a well-orchestrated race-baiting mock controversy and what do you know? The black man hates the white man, the liberals need to pretend they are in Selma with police dogs and fire hoses and Obama has energized his base.

No one gives a d@mn about some wannabe black hoodlum getting killed over a month ago — its an everyday occurence. Out of nowhere EVERYONE on the left is up in arms about a run of the mill shooting. It is the same feigned outrage we saw about some slut wanting free condoms. That didn’t work so they have moved on to the next make-believe controversy. Obozo certainly can’t run a record of achievement so he is throwing every left wing piece of crap he can think of to raise money (which he is not doing so well in) and energize his base (which would just as soon stay home come election day).
