"The latest book by Jack Cashill uses the Zimmerman case to explain how the left gins up a story in order to serve the narrative they need to create at the time." CSPAN2 --1hr:19min video

[virgil283]

"Basically, the left tells lies about real situations in order to frame a negative narrative about their opposition. Conservative websites tell the truth about the left in order to let their own mendacity frame the narrative of their true totalitarian intentions. Mr. Cahill provides examples through the 20th century of this strategy at work on the left in the 10 minute clip I found." Read more at http://iowntheworld.com/blog/?p=216865#YjIeGXYfPUPuf8KM.99

The left is constantly cherry-picking issues which can be tailored to their agenda. Then they spin them to make them all about race or class warfare.

Oh, how nice, a new book from Mr. Cashill. Not in my library catalog yet.

From the call-in section of a local paper -

Hi. Yeah, I just want to say my wife and I just had our first kid. And we named him George Zimmerman.

If *I* had a son he wouldn't have brought a length of concrete sidewalk to a gun fight.In fact,he wouldn't have attended the gun fight in the first place.

Just when you think this story may never be heard again, it rears it ugly head. I would feel differently if Zimmerman had behaved himself in a responsible manner since his acquittal.

Zimmerman had a somewhat troubled past, but was working to turn his life around, with apparently some success. It should be noted that he does not appear to be the sharpest knife in the drawer, which is of course not a crime.

Then he ran into the buzzsaw of modern liberal media, in a situation which was 90% not of his own making. But they didn’t care.

"if Zimmerman had behaved himself... "....At about the 1 hr point Cashill said the trial had a detrimental effect that changed Zimmerman

[ozzymandus]

Notice all the publicity about the anniversary of the Newtown killings. The reporters are still preaching their anti-gun garbage over the bodies of dead children.

Anyone who does not understand “not guilty” displays their stupidity every time they open their mouths.

***’If I had a Son’***

When Obama said this, it brought to mind the olden days when a Judge would instruct a jury, “Go out, deliberate, and I expect you to bring in a GUILTY verdict.”

This was Obama’s way of telling the MSM that Zimmerman was “Guilty, guilty, GUILTY!” and should be hanged right after the trial tomorrow.

The media does these stories every four years to get the black voters out to the polls in large numbers.

Most people would have themselves fixed if they thought they were going to have kids that looked like Trayvon Martin.

Given that Zimmermans (ex?) wife lied and that Zimmerman's girlfriend lied, what misbehavior do you fault him for? Associating with publicity-hungry liberals?
