Shorter CNN to George Zimmernan:

Gee, George, sorry we pretty much declared you a racist in front of all of America before having all the facts, but Obama's all-in on this one and we're all-in for Obama and since you're a registered Democrat, we think you'll understand.

XXXOOO

-The Most Trusted Name in News

My favorite part of the video is the way Gary Tuchman doesn't have any trouble suggesting that Zimmerman may have said 'coon'. But on the next go-around he’s so, so reluctant to influence the audience by suggesting that he may actually have said 'cold'. "I don't want to say what it sounds like this time, what a lot of people are saying it sounds like. Let’s play it a few times so the viewer can have an idea for themselves and make their own conclusion.” That’s right jerk. When it’s not a racial word anymore make everyone listen to it about 10 or 20 more times to make sure they come to that conclusion themselves. That way they won’t be thinking about how it was your suggestion that it was racial in the first place.

so what is the sentence in which the word “ccon” or “cold” is used?

[moehoward]

It’s not. There’s a moment when, under his breath, he whispers it. It’s as if he says it to himself, but it is audible.

[Red Badger]

Their corporate lawyers are probably having nervous breakdowns..............

IIRC, Zimmerman is telling the dispatcher “it’s f*cking cold”.

[skeeter]

I hope the coming Zimmerman lawsuit wins enough to make Richard Jewel's NY Post reward look like a pittance.

[yldstrk]

He probably said “God”, I can hear it now, sounds like “ka” and then you shake your head

[Steely Tom]

I’m sure George doesn’t mind “taking one for the team.”

[yldstrk]

hey i am a behind the curve when it comes to stuff like IIRC?

[servo1969]

In a space between answering the operator’s questions what you hear is "F***in' c---." The second word is hard to make out. People were swearing he said 'F***in coon(s)." After a couple of enhancing processes it's pretty clear he's saying it’s “F***in cold.” According to some the weather was unseasonably cool that night.

I still prefer the SNL/Janet Reno/Richard Jewell “settlement”.

Every Monday for a year, Zimmerman gets to kick the offending parties square in the crotch.

[moehoward]

Doubt it. The word that immediately precedes the word in question makes that unlikely.

[yldstrk]

???????????????????????????????? uh ok

[squarebarb]

If I Remember Correctly.

It’s taken me a while to learn all these!

[servo1969]

I was answering your question in post #2.

That’s right jerk. When it’s not a racial word anymore make everyone listen to it about 10 or 20 more times to make sure they come to that conclusion themselves. That way they won’t be thinking about how it was your suggestion that it was racial in the first place.

In the Olympics Of Journalism the results of the Conclusion Dash are measured in nanoseconds.

[skeeter]

I would’ve paid to see Janet Reno kicked in the crotch.

[allmost]

Cell phone= static. Reading too much into it is futile imo.

It was raining - it’s cold in Florida when you’re soaked to the bone.
