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.

The cuts were bleeding--obviously, being cuts. Since they were bleeding there was no reason for blood to be trapped under the skin around the wounds. Hence no "bruising."

Zimmerman is not a real Black. He is a White-Black, emphasis on White.. All Black Zimmerman...no story. Partially Black Zimmerman means WHITE!!!!!, murdering bigot. In this case, the one drop rule does not apply. (smirk)

Do you have a link on that? I couldn’t find it in a transcript.

I think CNN has the only transcript, and Lester’s question isn’t in it because it occurred during a commercial break. Here’s CNN legal analyst Mark Nejame’s on-air reaction immediately afterward:

“And then the judge - right to the heart of it — asked about the stippling of the gun and how close and about the gun shot. Well, what does that show? It shows that there was not a shooting at a distance, but that there was apparently mutual combat where the two of them were engaged within immediate proximity to each other, which suggests that one really doesn’t know what happened because it wasn’t from a distance which would show a depraved mind, but, in fact, right there during regional combat.”

Also, I saw/heard Judge Lester directly ask Det. Gilbreath how close the two were when the gun fired, because I was switching back and forth from CNN to HLN when each would break for a commercial. I was astonished to find the exchange was missing in the transcript later, and know now CNN “transcripts” contain huge gaps.

Just damn, and that doesn’t surprise me. Our presstitutes will be the death of us all.

Lefties are now making a big deal about the coroner saying St. Trayvon was shot at “intermediate range”, as if Zimmerman was at a distance such that he could have broken off the engagement. Then when you do 5 minutes of research, you find that “intermediate” in forensic terms basically means just beyond contact, 1’-3’ range, such that the target ends up with burnt propellant around the wound.

Here’s my post about “intermediate range” in another thread on the subject, including a link to a forensics site and definition of the term.

Is it a BSA hoodie, Scout?

One's an Australian Scouts hoodie, mate. The others were presents from my children, Ichi, Ni, and San and feature the names of two of the schools from which I matriculated.

The Aussie one makes me feel equally as tough as the Texas one.

But are you really still blaming Zimmerman? Wow.

Wrong poster, Miss M. I've never blamed Zimmerman. Sorry for the confusion.

That was for all of the people saying he was profiled for wearing a hoodie. He didn't even have the hood up.

Oh, sorry, I misread it. But actually I do think he was profiled for wearing a hoodie. Here in the urban jungle of NYC, we associate the wearing of hoodies with criminality (as do the police). To more rural and suburban people, it’s just a sweatshirt with a hood.

It was raining. It wouldn’t look suspicious to anyone to see someone wearing a hood in the rain. What would look suspicious is seeing a guy meandering around the streets and walking between buildings in the rain.

That’s not profiling.

Unless you're wearing it when it's 80 degrees outside.

“It certainly can’t hurt Z’s case if the wound was located on Martin’s left side and the wound was contact or close to contact.”

It was. Bullet entered Traytable’s left side, into the left ventricle of his heart. There was no exit wound.

He was shot at very close (intermediate) range.

If we want to believe DeeDee was on the phone with Trayvon (and the records indicate she was on the phone close to that time), he was walking under the overhangs to stay out of the rain. Those overhands are about 18" according to Hal Uhrig, Zimmerman's first attorney. That's slinking along the back windows of a building as much as meandering (Zimmerman said walking in circles).

Awesome graphic!

It’s the Duke La Cross class war all over again.

It will be interesting to see if Holder actually files hate crime charges against Zimmerman given the now public evidence.
