Zimmerman: Scarborough Condemns 'Hyperbolic' Reaction—Ignores Having Branded Him 'Murderer'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/15/2013 5:20:09 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough might want to reflect on people in glass houses, casting the first stone, beam in your eye—all the adages counseling people against hypocrisy, against condemning others for sins without considering their own wrongs.

In a Politico piece brimming with self-righteousness, Scarborough bemoans the "vulgar state" of American politics and condemns "hyperbolic political pronouncements" about the case. Hyperbolic? We got your hyperbole right here. Does Joe not remember that in 2012, long before all the facts of the case were available, he eagerly condemned George Zimmerman as a "murderer"?

More here.

Scarborough points finger at others for “hyperbolic” reaction to Zimmerman verdict, ignores having branded Zimmerman a “murderer.” Ping to Today show list.

Yet, he gets quoted and followed here daily like he is some king of the conservative folk. He is a lefty, with a poorly rated show on a bottom feeding channel, so why do we add to his spotlight?

Like most in MSM, he’s forced to whore for the liberal cause and he does it quite well. I bet he has a million dollar salary. Like most whores, he probably feels like crap about himslef, but he enjoys the money more then he hates to look in the mirror. I used to like him, but it’s obvious that some executive at NBC owns him, now.

I think I heard Shep Smith saying something on the last day before the verdict but only caught, “..ultimately murdering him.”

Didn’t know self defense was considered murder. More like suicide if ya ask me.

At least he has changed his mind now that all the evidence (or lack of) has been brought forth. Let’s give him credit for that as that’s more than most at his network has done.

This is reference to an editorial run in Canada Free Press. The Canadians got it right.! Too bad half of the so called conservatives talk show hosts I’ve been listening to can’t seem to be willing to connect the dots to what a heavy hand his imperious highness played in this example of socialist justice meted out to serve the policies of the state . Turning this into a show trial replete with wall to wall tv coverage.

.For certain since the not guilty verdict has been rendered the facts of this case are still being concealed by the media such as pictures of both side by side they look like cousins. The mixed area that Zimmerman was a “watch captain” in was struggling with single and groups of young blacks on the prowl.,In some instances armed, preying on homeowners.in his area..That area wasn’t even examinined because it wouldn’t fit their agenda.. Which if done ,if true journalisim existed, because that might explain his action of surveilance . In many watch areas that’s done frequently when the subject disappears from view.

Even after learning the shooter was a staunch Obama supporter, not Jewish, and a very dark skinned “hispanic” Obama did nothing to curtail the hyperbole or tone down his edict creating this as a racist episode. The socialists controlling the media propaganda machine oblidged.. They began claiming the neighborhood watch captain was a “white hispanic” .or used a picture of a 12 year old Martin instead of the 6 foot 165 pound person he was vs the smaller 140 pound neighborhood watch captain. Worse yet allowed his US Attorney General to use questionable activities to promote a show trial and ignored using a threat of prosecution to black militant groups threatening the watch captain’s life.

Meanwhile attacks by black groups on selected happless white victims which wind in their death get ignored by the mainline socialist messengers MSM service and black on black killings many of the age of the so called victim is likewise same-o same-o.

But it does demonstrate that the term “liberal” should not be applied to todays MSM . These are die hard socialists incapable of independent thinking. Designing propaganda into a political campaign disguised as “news” to advance whatever the cause is edicted by their leader and goose-stepping in unison to that command.
