BACKLASH: Explosive New York Post Cover Says The Trayvon Martin Shooting Is Being Exploited By 'Race Hustlers'

Michael Brendan Dougherty
March 27, 2012

The pushback on the Trayvon Martin story is now getting ferocious.

Today's New York Post has a provocative (or offensive) cover saying that "Race Hustlers" are exploiting the tragedy of Trayvon Martins' death. At least they are still calling it a "tragedy" today.

On the cover are three New York state senators, Kevin Parker, Bill Perkins, and Eric Adams, who wore hoodies in solidarity with the rallies for Martin across the nation.

It is race hustling at its ugliest. Its purpose is to rally Obama's base... It may end up costing him! If Obama loses, I believe that these same race hustlers will agitate violence in the streets!

This story is costing Obama millions of votes.

Man I hope you're right.

Obama could shut this down very quickly if he wanted to. A few phone calls and it would vanish into the memory hole.

Good for the NYP. Let the truth be the front page headlines. How refreshing!

this is how stupid they are.

One poster tries to tell them facts only for the ignorant masses again to not understand and then make excuses and cry racism.

Being killed for attacking another person from behind, punching the victim to the ground and then slamming the victim’s head against the concrete sidewalk is NOT A TRAGEDY.

Trayvon’s death was the consequence of the acts deliberately committed by the “dearly departed”.

I’m still wondering if the media and the civil rights activists decided to make this such a big story on their own, or whether the word came down from the White House or Media Matters that they needed to do this for Obama’s re-election. The idea would be to fire up the African American part of his base—just like the Sandra Fluke dog-and-pony show was designed to fire up the feminists.

I think the "brains" of the left have come up with a model that's based on military planning. They've predefined a set of pre-planned action packages and, to go with them, predefined "trigger events." They watch the domestic news wires 24/7, and, when a potential "trigger event" occurs, they convene a conference call within a very short time frame and decide whether that event reaches the threshold for one of the action packages. If they decide it does -- and the White House may be involved in the decision -- the packaged plan is put into motion.

I think it's pretty well established that this is what happened in the Limbaugh/Fluke situation. The whole thing, including the calls by local "ordinary citizens" to local radio stations and their local advertisers, was set up in advance. They'd been waiting for Rush to say something that reached the threshold for some time -- years, I think -- and, when he did, their plan was put into action immediately.

For some reason, the cover of those black pols in their ties and hoodies reminds me of Klansmen in hoods. . . Say, now that I think of it, aren't they trying to override law enforcement procedure in a criminal matter along racial lines and hunt down and lynch the guy of the other race?

On a positive note, with the picture the State-Run Media has been posting of Zimmerman looking like a Mexican gang-banger in an orange shirt, they'll never find him.

Thanks for the link to the Orlando article, which contains this jewel: “He was sitting on the porch and this man killed him.”

That from Trayvon’s mother. Seems her lil’ darlin’ was off the porch and amusing himself severely ‘beating down whitey’ when he suffered the consequences of his acts.

Note that Momma Dearest was already playing the race card. Was this something she did on her own or had the race hustlers already talked with her? Phone and Internet records may shed some light on this issue.

Who are the retards on the Post cover. Are they suppose to be professionals. What a joke. These people should be concerned about the 28% unemployment rate and the gas prices.

Link to NY Post story on criticism of Jackson and Sharpton by ex-NAACP leader. Believe it or not, the guy's a conservative:

Ex-NAACP big rips Al & Jesse for handling of Trayvon Martin shooting

“Do these people not know how stupid they are looking??”

Apparently, the baby momma and daddy have now joined the rest of the hustlers by trademarking the kids name and quitting their jobs to make this a full time gig.

Yep, and I am counting the seconds until we vote the Obastard and his minions out. Then the next step is to put the Traitors in jail where they belong.

it’s funny

they do look like thugs...graying but still an issue

if you were approaching them on the street at nite

what would be the move of the average freeper...I’d avoid them

did you know that nearly 100 times as many whites have been murdered by blacks the past 50 years as were blacks lynched from 1865 to 1965 nationwide?

nearly 200,000 versus 2400

that is to me the proper story here

all this crap over one dead black kid...even if Zimmerman was unjustified

how many whites murdered or raped since Trayvon’s death

any marches or protests over them?

is Soledad all huffy about that or does her white 75% not count?

It's important to separate the incident - which IS a tragedy, from the actions of those who take advantage of it.

It's why I won't jump on the "villify Trayvon" bandwagon.

Agreed. The Left is Evil, they aren't necessarily stupid. They have a game plan and are executing as events crop up.

Games and Theory earmarks are all over their every press release and every meme that gets pushed out to the sheeple.

I don’t think this is costing Obama anything. I think he is planning on getting blacks worked up about this and getting them to the polls on election day.

He said “Trayvon looks like me”. He race hustling himself! Blacks are eating this up.
