Obama, top Democrats lay low as Martin story shifts
The Daily Caller ^ | Mar 29, 2012 | Neil Munro

Posted on 03/30/2012 3:06:09 AM PDT by expat1000

Top Democrats — including President Barack Obama’s re-election team — are now keeping their distance from the Trayvon Martin uproar, as each day reveals more facts about the teen’s slaying.

“As more facts come out, it’s more confusing for folks,” Sharon Gilpin, a Democratic political consultant, told The Daily Caller.

“There was a pretty intense rush to judgment … [but] it is important to get all your facts before you cement your feet in the sidewalk,” said Gilpin, who has worked on numerous Democratic campaigns and ballot initiatives.

“As tragic as this death is, there obviously is another side to the story,” former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis told TheDC. “We would all do well to wait for the facts to emerge.”

Your post #14 should be enlarged to billboard size and placed on billboards all over America. I will definitely donate to that campaign if someone undertakes it.

I believe our President. Trayvon would be like his son. Of course he also said that he wants his daughters to have free contraception and abortions.

Tragic= ‘tragic fault’
To be ‘tragic’, the tragedy has to be inherent in a fault to whom the tragedy occurrs.

Tra-von done Tra-voned (new verb!) da Z ‘cause he jess couldn’ hep hisself!

I have read that the father is not Jewish. He’s German.

They are trying to distance themselves from what their race hate and baiting is creating.

Whites are being attacked and murdered by racist blacks who look like they could be Obama’s son and who have taken in Obama’s critical race theory race hate doctrines.

Latest attack happened to a 16 yr. old child in Seattle. He was beaten and tortured by Holder’s people because he is white.

Tragic is a soldier dying to save an Afghan child from being run over by an armored vehicle.

Has anyone really driven home the idea yet that Zimmerman is a Minority???? His dad is Jewish and his mother is Hispanic?

I think we need to rile the Jewish and Hispanic populace the way the Dems are mobilizing the Blacks over this thing.

"White Hispanic" is s-o-o-o racist!

Please use the term "Cracker Caliente."

Thank you

Wrong, Gilpin. The “folks” are not confused. It’s the president who’s confused (again).

Are now keeping their distance?


Obammy may be Muslim but he’s not a suicide bomber. He knows to run after he pulls the pin on the gernade. He doesn’t want to get all that whitey blood on his suit.

Absolutely. Just think of the massive pressure on the cops to charge this Zimmerman with something, anything. But they won’t because they know the guy was defending himself. And our POTUS took sides with the attacker, inflamed the situation every bit as much as those 2 POS racists Sharpton and Jackson.

While the Zimmerman/Martin ‘white’ on black killing is covered 24/7 on the MSM with an outpouring of rage and charges of a racial hate crime, where is the concern- where is the rage about the home invasion, torture, beating, rape and murder of the elderly white couple by a gang of feral blacks in Oklahoma just a few weeks ago?

The 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten and his jaw broken. He was shot in the face numerous times with a BB gun and sent to the hospital in critical condition.

The 85 year old partially blind wife was RAPED and then BEATEN TO DEATH.

Can you just imagine the pain, the humiliation, the horror that dear old lady experienced being gang raped by that pack of feral animals?

(the autopsy states she was raped. Don’t think all of these animals didn’t all participate)

And can you imagine the pain, the horror of that dear old husband having to witness this?

There’s a lot more involved here than a home invasion and robbery.

WHERE ARE THE CHARGES OF A RACIAL HATE CRIME??

90 year old husband’s jaw broken and shot in face with a BB gun numerous times?

85 wife year old semi blind wife RAPED and BEATEN to death??

Why does it take a foreign press to enlighten America as to this henious crime?

Where is the outrage?

Right from the get-go the media had access to all the info in the police report -— but they only reported certain facts, left out other vital facts, like George Zimmerman had stated that he was defending himself, that he had broken off the pursuit. The media was perfect about reporting that Zimmerman shot Trayvon but they were abysmally less than perfect about reporting the circumstances that led up to the shooting —— like Trayvon deciding to retaliate on Zimmerman. In the early
‘flash news’ reports, I don’t ever remember hearing this fact. The first wind I got of Zimmerman protecting himself from Trayvon was in the Orlando Sentinel investigation.
But here was the media reporting only half-truths with the obvious intention of misleading the public into believing that this was a racial profiling and racial hate incident —fanning the flames of hate, enraging a nation against a man (and an entire family) who we know now is probably innocent. If any Zimmerman family member dies or is seriously injured because of the insane backlash, the media giants that disseminated this gigantic bogus lying mountain of trash; should be sued for all they are worth -—— and that includes all the viscious, loud-mouth race hustlers and the low-life dirtbags in Hollywood who are laughing while stirring the pot, like Roseann Barr and Spike Lee.
