Why the Left Dropped the Trayvon Story

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Developments in the Trayvon Martin case, and you'd be hard-pressed to find these developments out there. There have been two dramatic developments in the Trayvon Martin shooting case. According to the ABC News, George Zimmerman's family doctor saws him the morning after the shooting of Trayvon Martin. Here's what George Zimmerman's doctor found: A broken nose, two black eyes, bruises on his face and lip, two cuts on the back of his head, and a back injury.

The NBC affiliate in Florida is reporting that the medical director who performed the autopsy on Trayvon Martin found only two injuries on his body: the gunshot wound and broken skin on his knuckles. Welcome to the Duke lacrosse case all over again. Everything Zimmerman said about what happened to him turns out to be true after the media trying to cast him along with the civil rights coalitions of this country, the race-baiters, as abject lies. (interruption) What do you mean, not rush to judgment? It's been two months. I'm not speculating. I'm telling you what the doctor said. There's no speculation going on. The doctor is not speculating. The doctor did the exam the day after the incident happened. It's all been suppressed. Nobody's reported it. That's the point. And there wasn't even any media curiosity about it.

Now, I'm not a forensic scientist, and I don't guess on matters like this. I don't have to guess; the facts are here. It's kind of hard not to connect the dots. Now, all of this information is coming out. You know why it's coming out? Because we're in the discovery phase of the Zimmerman trial, where each side has to show the other side what evidence they have. But you really have to wonder here, folks, why none of this came out before in the prosecutor's charging affidavit. Can we go back to that? The charging affidavit, which, remember Dershowitz at Harvard said it was an embarrassment that wouldn't survive the first inspection by a judge, but it did. But he said it was pathetic, it was unprofessional.

I happened to report what Dershowitz said and my own affiliate in Jacksonville called the attorney's office, "What do you think about what Limbaugh said about your charging document?" None of this is in the charging document, or the affidavit. I thought that the state was obligated, or obliged, anyway, to provide all the relevant details in a case to the judge, but apparently I was mistaken. But, anyway, as I said, ladies and gentlemen, the news media seem to be ignoring these developments. I mean they're out there, touched on a little bit by ABC. But the news that I just gave you has barely been mentioned on the cable news channels. I don't watch it, but I'm told that MSNBC only got around to reporting this about an hour ago, and they ran a banner at the bottom of the screen that said, "Proof of self-defense? Trayvon Martin family lawyer calls medical report suspicious."

So the doctor puts out a report, Zimmerman's doctor, and now MSNBC is saying he might be a liar. And they have to because they gotta cover their own rear ends the way they reported this. (interruption) I don't know if Zimmerman's doctor is a white Hispanic, Mr. Snerdley. But you really have to wonder here when the news media began to lose interest in the Trayvon Martin story, 'cause you know they did. They lost interest. They were going 150 miles an hour on this story, and then all of a sudden they dropped it like a hot potato, and you have to wonder why they did that. Was it when they found out that George Zimmerman is actually Hispanic and a Democrat to boot? Was it when Trayvon Martin's gangsta-like tweets surfaced along with the more recent photos of him with his gold teeth? Maybe the news media is just afraid of whipping up racial... no, they do like to whip up racial strife. But they didn't even proceed under that rubric. They just dropped this case like a hot potato.

Another detail that has come out in the local reports. Zimmerman's grandfather was black. That's exactly right. That has also surfaced. I wonder how long all of this stuff has been known by our friends in the Drive-By Media? George Zimmerman has more black in him than Elizabeth Warren has Indian. Exactly right. George Zimmerman's grandfather was black. Now, I had never heard that before, but assuming that that's true, George Zimmerman is a heck of a lot more black than Elizabeth Warren is Indian, exactly as you stated, Mr. Snerdley. (interruption) You have a question? Yeah, he's a black-white Hispanic. In fact, given our current culture and the president, the way he weighs in on things, I have the perfect way now to describe George Zimmerman. If all this is true, and just going by the photos that we've seen of Zimmerman, I'd almost have to say that if Obama had another son, he would look a hell of a lot like George Zimmerman.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: A minor, minor correction here. It was Zimmerman's mother's grandfather who was black, which would make it his great-grandfather. Zimmerman's great-grandfather was black. It still makes him more black than Elizabeth Warren is Indian. You believe we're talking about people this way? You believe we have to categorize people this way? And we are simply reacting. This is the way the left, this is the way the media, this is the way Obama, the Democrat Party, look at people and categorize them. It wasn't me, folks. The New York Times calls George Zimmerman a white Hispanic.

This is absurd. I mean, all this attention they claim they have to the humanity of people, all of this compassion. They don't have the slightest bit of humanity when it comes to people. They simply look at them as faceless colors of skin, sexual orientation, gender, all of that. That's how they see them, victims, minorities. As far as their humanity, it doesn't matter. By the way, here's another thing. In addition to everything you've heard now from Zimmerman's doctor about all of his injuries and about Trayvon Martin with bruised knuckles discovered in the autopsy, the FBI, which is part of Eric Holder's Justice Department, is planning to charge George Zimmerman with a hate crime. The local prosecutor in Florida claim that Zimmerman profiled Trayvon Martin. Not only did he profile Trayvon Martin, he stalked Trayvon Martin before killing him, and unlike the charge of second-degree murder, this hate crime, if he's convicted of it, could get Zimmerman executed.

So apparently noticing a stranger in your neighborhood is profiling and following this stranger to see what he's up to is stalking. They both are hate crimes, according to the Obama regime, even though the article mentions in passing that Zimmerman's mother's grandfather is black. Again, I had not heard that detail. So in all of this now, every aspect of the case that George Zimmerman told, seems to be true. His doctor with a long list of major injuries incurred by Zimmerman. Bruised knuckles and the gunshot wound for Trayvon Martin. And they're going after Zimmerman now for a hate crime because the local prosecutor used the word "profiled" in her charging affidavit, the affidavit that Alan Dershowitz said was inferior.

Hmmm... couldn’t every law signed, every executive order given during his term be challenged as illegitimate?

What should happen is that the Federal Government should charge Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton with instigating a riot, false statements, and racial hate crimes.

The Attorney General who charged him should be fired, and apolocies should be made by all the major meadia for their blatant false reporting.

What will happen. Zimmerman will go to trial be found not guilty and blacks will burn down the local grocery store and then complain that they live in a food desert.

Don’t you know? Here at FR hoodies are only worn by middle-aged grandmas on the way to Bingo!

That said, today I profiled a suspicious-looking teenager in a hoodie heading into my local Walgreens. He had the usual slow, purposeless walk that always marks the troublemaker...

Absolutely! And with good reason. And a very likely outcome of everything he did being declared unconstitutional!............

The media is pulling back because they realized the prospect of a race war was sending white voters screaming into the Romney camp.

If Holder initiates a hate crime prosecution, which usually eats up many months, Mitt Romney will get lots of votes if he says he will call it off.

If Zimmerman came out of the closet today as a proud, openly gay American, all his troubles would be over.

Neck-and-neck with the presumptive challenger in May is bad juju for an incumbent’s prospects in November. This issue surely isn’t hurting Mitt’s chances at accumulating the Big Mo.

If Holder is stupid enough to do that, it will backfire bigtime. Especially from a political perspective.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the narcissistic little prick doesn’t come out and say he is Muslim or Homosexual or Kenyan after the election. If he looses, he will be bitter and spiteful and will do whatever to mock our nation.

The whole thing was pushed to this ludicrous point BECAUSE of politics. Z. and counsel are laying low now, playing the humble game. In due course Obama will be gone, and then Z. will come back with lawsuit after lawsuit.

BHO2 spent $20+Million of our scarce tax revenue to aid the Kenyan government in rewriting their national constitution. In the newly rewritten Kenyan constitution, BHO2 is now eligible to be President of Kenya.

Kenya is his bolt hole. The people of Kenya speak of him as though he is a god. Well, I suspect it wouldn’t take long for them to become disillusioned.

It would be easy for him to be UN Secretary General once in Kenya. Wouldn’t you suspect the same?

Kenya was not a nation during the war years.

If a hoodie thug atacked a media liberal who shot him in self defense, it would be muffled by the media and the thug’s family would be paid off by the same media.

Obama ordered that story to be dropped. He had second thoughts about the race war he started.

"...but wouldn’t the two cuts on Zimmerman’s head have been surrounded by bruising if he was being slammed into the concrete?"

The photo released of the back of Zimmerman's head was taken minutes after the confrontation. It can take bruises much longer than that to form and blood from the burst capillaries at the site of a contusion to pool under the skin.

I’ll bet “hoodie” and Skittles (Skillets) sales have really taken a hit.

The key to this whole shooting is the placement of the gunshot wound and range from the barrel of Zimmerman’s pistol. To my knowledge, that information has not been made available.
