Zimmerman Brother: George Supported Obama, Wanted to End 'Club of White Men'
http://www.breitbart.com/ ^ | 02/06/2013 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 02/06/2013 12:21:35 PM PST by BO Stinkss

Media coverage of the George Zimmerman shooting of Trayvon Martin has been skewed for months by wild charges of racism against George. NBC News infamously edited tape of Zimmerman to make it appear that he thought Martin was suspicious thanks to his race; CNN reported that Zimmerman had used a racial slur during his 911 call. That thematic stretched all the way to the White House, with President Obama suggesting that Zimmerman was acting out of racism, since as Obama put it, “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” The truth is far different. Not only was Zimmerman not a racist – he had a black business partner, has Afro-Peruvian roots, and helped out underprivileged black kids in his neighborhood – he also was a supporter of the very president who would later slander him by innuendo. As Robert, George’s brother, told me, George is “a registered Democrat. He registered as a Hispanic. He kind of did some internal family campaigning for Obama.” George supported Obama, Robert explained, because “He was like many young people who thought that the president’s club had been a club of white men since our founding, and that there really wasn’t a good reason for that, except that the right man for the job who happened to be black had not come along, and that electing a man who happened to be biracial or multiracial like we were, would reflect not just a situation that we found ourselves in ethnically in our family, but the reality of where America had come, which is that we are melting pot of cultures and we are a diverse society. “Ironically,” Robert added, “the man who he campaigned for within his family was the same man seemingly indicting him in way from the Rose Garden years later.”

Do you think HE would support this old white guy?

I have no idea what Mr. Zimmerman would do but I would hope he gives you the support you feel he is not deserving of simply because of his political choices.

In fact,on second thought, given his background in community service and with kids, I suspect he would..........

Correct-O-Mundo!!!!

In fact, I know three Argentines who have only their birth and language in common with their nationality.

All three are of Italian ancestory, Polish and Eastern bloc countries.

Yes. No matter how much I might despise him, I’d never want to see an innocent man go to jail.

That said, I don’t despise him. He’s just a bit silly, that’s all.

"I have A DREAM!, that one day..a man will be judged by the content of his character and NOT by the color of his skin."

He didn't see the mountain but left a very good moral.

Wouldn't it be awesome to remember these words every morning and take that sentiment into their daily lives.

I certainly feel compassion for someone who was so blind to race in his own heart that he got taken in by someone pretending to be the same. Hopefully he will have time to reflect on the fact that 0bama cares nothing about people in general much less any racial group. If 0bama cared about anyone at all he wouldn't be the biggest divider of the American people on almost every possible point of difference.

Obama, during his private pep talk to Democrats, ... asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” Democratic voters “and it will encourage the extremists.” - Nov. 7, 2009

A President who uses his bully pulpit to mock and taunt Americans, who incites his followers to be confrontational, creates an atmosphere of incivility and violence.

Effing retard. Now I’m not interested in his pleas.

Politics before innocence, yea, that's the key to a successful civilization.......

Strangely enough, you remind me of the "Governor" in the "Walking Dead" series........

FWIW, I'm still convinced you're from Stormfront.......

I know you guys are angry with me be let me try to explain my position.
First, let me say again - I hope he gets off (he is innocent)

Ever heard the phrase
“hoist by one’s own petard”? It means:

To be hurt, or destroyed by one’s own plot or device, of one’s own doing which one intended for another; to be “blown up by one’s own bomb”.

Zimmerman has been using race as a weapon and now the left is using it against him.
Can’t you see the irony?

Goes around, comes around.

He played his racist game and made an uninformed choice that was dumber than betting on who would win the Super Bowl based on the color of the uniforms.

I enhanced your statement, to help drive home his stupidity.

With that being said, I wish no one irreparable harm and going to prison for protecting your own life is as about irreparable as possible! Although I wish all liberals a serious comeuppance, I don't want their life lessons to be deadly (and Zimmerman going to prison would be a DEATH sentence)!

I get what you are saying and I thought about my response before posting.

I have been called every name under the sun loudly and with wind gusts up to 180 miles an hour over the last several years.

I don’t owe Zimmerman anything more than “Good Luck”.

We do have a public defender social net.

I am done with idiots who think they were/are my moral superiors for their support of Barack, with my lack of support being rooted in racism.

Sohhhh, now that I know George was trying to prove himself worthy to his spiritual sorcerers I wish him best of luck.

I can appreciate those sentiments. I seriously doubt that many (I won't say NONE), but not very many of our Freeper family truly wish Zimmerman death or major harm; but in the same sense I don't think anyone "owes" Zimmerman anything either.

Stating this in a frame of reference to the irony of Zimmerman's predicement, with respect to his being branded a racist by liberals, when he himself had played the racecard (if, indeed, that is true) would have made your position on this matter clear from the start. Since the claim that Zimmerman supported Obozo came from a second party, we don't really know what Zimmerman's position truly is with respect to Obozo.

Shame on you!

Nice try, you convicted Zimmerman since the story first broke and are as worthless as the MSM that's calling for his head.

Nope. I never felt sorry for him since I learned he was a Democrat.That being said, he is in trouble not for what he did but who he did it to.Also heis being railroaded. The lynch mob did not know, nor care that he was a Democrat. I will close by saying that at least one and possibly more individuals owe George zimmerman a Thank you because he saved at least one and possibly more innocent lives.

Hey FO you POS.

You are advancing a lie about me with zero proof.

I have to take this crap from Freepers too?

Whoever told you it was okay to be yourself gave you the worst advice.

Yuh Jack Wagon!
