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.

I am curious about that too, the story at first had no legs someone somewhere decided to give it legs and for a purpose. There is an agenda at play here and I am having a hard time figuring out what that agenda is. Perhaps the race warriors simply figured this case was as good as that were going to get anytime soon to play the race card and went with it. But considering Zimmerman is only half white with a racially mixed family the fit is not a good one.

Not sure where all this ends but maybe some good will come of of it by exposing Al, Jessie and the NBP.

David Brock said the recent rush limbaugh attack had been developed in 2009 and was waiting, for almost 3 years, in his desk drawer for the right time to play it on. Like you said, that seems to be what is going on here. all the ducks have been lined up, ready to go, and they probably made the calculation this incident, its details and demographics, was probably the best they could get by November, and time was passing. So game on was declared.

The teen's angelic looks as a youngster probably figured greatly in their choice, as those are the only pictures being shown. He is a great photo/poster boy for their agenda.

Just saw this on Drugde "Obama camp peddles 2012 'Hoodies' " I think you are exactly correct in your analysis.

IMHO, team Obama is playing a very dangerous game.

“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’.”

Yes, indeed. As The Duke, John Wayne, said: “Life is hard, but it's harder if you're stupid.”

I can hardly wait for the next one.

Maybe, we should get a Free Republic "pool" together on guessing what the next big Democrat outrage will be? I have dibs on the Supreme Court throwing out Obamacare. :-)

I don't know what's more dangerous the game, or the fact that the administration is willing to play it for the sake of a winning election. It is a tinderbox waiting for the perfect match strike. Maybe we can squeak by this time. Hopefully and maybe.

bttt

IMO, the real “tragedy” here is the current efforts to scapegoat Mr. Zimmerman. On the streets, in the media, and in some cases, right here on FR.

If the DA and the police dept. had something on Mr. Zimmerman, I’m sure they would have arrested him already. That they haven’t in the face of this storm tells me that they know it’s not in anyone’s best interest to “comply” with the mob’s demands.

Wasn't sure if you were going back into the thread or not, but Steely Tom (post 28) said it better than both of us:

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.

When will the RNC start running ads showing Trayvon’s social media pic with Obama piously intoning how Trayvon looks like his son?

Next to his school 'rap sheet' - and his facebook name... that would be the 12th of never.

MSM now desperately trying to warn the Dems off. Don’t provoke a Hispanic backlash and trigger Democrat Race War Armageddon.

This is going to disappear off the front pages very soon...

Lol. I like your suggestion of a betting pool, re: the next hysterical over-the-top moonbat outrage. As the election nears and Obama’s numbers continue to tank, leftist hysteria will only intensify.

Agree w you their heads will explode if the Supreme Court voids the Obamacare mandate. I would bet there will be more Sandra Fluke and/or race war stuff too, though. Remember, these people are getting very, VERY desperate. Obama is piloting the Titanic, and the Dems have finally figured out the sea ahead is dotted w icebergs. Obama’s record indicates he’s as likely to steer straight into one as to make even a nominal effort to avoid it. He’s been in over his head from the start, and now even the Europeans are mocking him. Interesting days lie ahead, of that we can be sure.

"This story is costing Obama millions of votes."

Yep. If the election were tomorrow, the Black and Latino vote would stay home. But they have very short memories, and there's lots of time for hussein to whisper promises to the amnesty voters. All will be forgotten by Nov.

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

David Webb on Hannity last night made this case well. The left are doing Martin a tremendous disservice using this to push their agenda. In the end they'll abandon Martin and his family.

Being killed for attacking another person from behind,

Mr. Zimmerman did not say he was attacked from behind. He said he was approached from behind, then they exchanged words, then he was was punched by Martin.
