MOBama
As I write, the hysteria (is there any other word for it when Spike Lee twitters the address of George Zimmerman or the New Black Panther Party publishes a wanted poster?) is beginning to die down.The initial moblike news (in this regard, Fox Newsâs Shepard Smith was especially culpable in whipping up frenzy when he did not have the evidence to support his allegations) that a white, Germanic-named vigilante ran down and executed a small African-American child (at least Mr. Martin seemed so from his adolescent photos in the press), eating candy while strolling in an exclusive gated communityâmorphed into an account of an excitable Hispanic neighbor-watch volunteer, in a mixed community, had prompted (?) a fist fight with a 17-year old, 6â2â youth in a hoodie, apparently lost, and then pulled out a gun and firedânarratives that seemed to change with new information every day. The case is not helped by presidential editorializing that now, after the beer summit and Sandra Fluke, seems a wise gambit to divert attention from $4 a gallon gas and 8% plus unemployment. (17% in Fresno County). -- Works and Days » Beware of the Mob

Your Say
NPR newsreader this morning reported that "Zimmerman's attorney was on CNN yesterday and said he suffered a serious cut, was bloodied, and had a broken nose." NPR must figure quoting CNN gives them cover to publicly commit thoughtcrime against the liberal narrative.
Every time you hear about this story in the media, remember that there are literally hundreds of powerful people and organizations, not the least among them the national Democratic Party and the President of the United States, that will look like consummate jerks if Zimmerman is found not guilty, and like the consummate jerks they are, will therefore stop at nothing to make sure that cannot happen.
Welcome to Obama's post-racial America!
