Republicans sick of Trayvon Martin coverage

Really only one question left...is there a rock big enough for all the race mongers and sleazy Democrat political opportunists to hide under once the facts are revealed that Martin was the attacker and was lawfully shot dead? Let's see, they didn't stay under their last rock for too long after the Duke lacrosse racially hyped and whipped-up charges were all dropped did they? Now they have latched onto Travon in another pathetic and kool-aid driven campaign to whip up the Black vote for Obama. He only got 93% last time, but more is always better. And considering how devastating Obama's economy has been for Blacks in general, surely inciting a little racial hatred was on their menu. And NBC & ABC can continue to edit and doctor their coverage of Martin in Dan Ratheresque desperation even when the Feds and Special Prosecutor decide that there are no charges against Zimmerman.

Zimmerman is white. He isn't.

Trayvon was shot in the back of the head, execution style. He wasn't.

Zimmerman suffered zero injuries.

Trayvon, as pictured, isn't a 12 yr old, but was in fact 17 years old, stood 6 ft tall, and was hardly a 'skinny kid'.

Which runs into another LIE told by the media. Zimmerman outweighed Martin by 100 ( I think Niki said 130 lbs ? ). False. There was 30-40 lbs difference. 50, tops. Far from the hulking brute , picking on the mild mannered, fresh faced kid as the media tried to portray.

1. Never heard a single person say Zimmerman was white. And actually, very few of the reporters I've seen go out of their way to say that Trayvon was black. They show pictures of Trayvon and Zimmerman's mug shot semi-regularly, and leave it at that.

2. Never heard anyone said Trayvon was shot execution style. Not even anything close to that.

3. Closest thing I've heard to that is that there is a video of Zimmerman in the police station shortly after the shooting, and there is no evidence on that video that he is injured; no blood on his face or clothes from a broken nose, no visible bruises, etc.

4. Who ever said Trayvon was twelve? I haven't heard anyone say he was anything other than seventeen/a teenager. And unarmed, which seems to be the main thing.

5. I dunno, Zimmerman looks fairly large, and I'm sure he did outweigh the young man. I haven't seen any reporter or commentator give a specific weight difference.

Granted, I have not been obsessively following the story, but I've certainly seen several news shows talk about it. The facts given are generally: "Trayvon Martin was an unarmed teenager, he was shot and killed on the street, and the man who shot him has not even been arrested, let alone brought to trial. WTF?"


What reason had proved best ceased to look absurd to the eye, which shows how idle it is to think anything ridiculous except what is wrong.

Yep, Ive looked for these things the Raptard claims happened, and can't find any actual instances. And, like all of his claims, he did not cite anything..... just more Rappy fantasies.

*Note to everyone*: Anthony is spot-on. Pay no heed to Rappy's pleas for pity.

Yup, Rose, that's about the sum of it. I remembered the other thing I heard: It was first reported that Zimmerman was let go free and went home with his gun. The video shows he was taken to the police station in handcuffs, tho' they decided not to officially arrest him, and it's been reported that his gun is in police custody. Damn that liberal media, pointing those things out!!

I can only guess the claims were made on FauxNews in the context of the "lamestream media lies" or something, because I NEVER heard those things you mentioned, about him having been shot "execution style" or that he was anything other than 17.

In a fast-paced world of 24-hour cable news and nonstop social media, what happened that night has become both common knowledge and a blur of unattributed rumor accepted as fact. A controversial police report incited conspiracy theories and failed to definitively resolve what everyone wants to know: Who picked the fight? http://www.freep.com/article/C4/20120405/NEWS07/204050441/Night-of-Tra

That's Detroit Free Press...no doubt part of the vast liberal media conspiracy.

I still can't find anywhere that says Trayvon was 12. Ah--on a website which has "conspiracy theorists" and "lunatic fringe" in it's header, a blogger who calls himself "Anonymous Coward" writes "The media has continued to show old photos of Trayvon from when he appears to be about 12 years old, instead of recent photos which show him in a much less flattering light." A comment on Redstate: "You have seen the picture of Trayvon when he was 11 or 12 years old, as has everyone else because the media won’t show us what he looked like at 17, which I think is very telling." Nowhere can I find anything that actually SAID he was 12. And subsequent photos are quite appropriate for a 17-year-old; I'm guessing those first shown were the first they could get their hands on. Oh, yeah, and I've seen widespread coverage of all the shit that was brought out about his personal life, which has nothing to do with that night, and Zimmerman's background, which definitely DOES relate to his wanting to be an authority figure, having an arrest for aggresssion against a cop, carrying a gun, etc.

And yeah, googling turns up a bunch of blogs saying he was shot "execution style", but I never heard anything like that on any MSM or on their websites.

I guess these are a useful attempt to point to a liberal media bias, but they're reaching awfully far!

And yes, what you said is what I heard, at least at first, too. The simple fact that Zimmerman stalked him, after being told not to and responding "okay" to that advice, puts him in the wrong. So MANY things which are now shown to be facts don't look good for Zimmerman; his past aggressions, that neighborhood watch agencies have repeatedly stated that carrying a gun isn't acceptable practice; that Trayvon was doing nothing but walking home; the distance Zimmerman stalked him; the police actions and INactions, and on and on. It's enough to make anyone wonder WTF, but of course, wondering that is just a liberal thing, nobody on the right would EVER question police actions or believe facts that go against their own opinions...

This pretty much sums it up for me:

Nearly everyone expressed despair for Trayvon and disgust for shooter George Zimmerman. Here in Philadelphia, a diverse array of citizens filled LOVE Park three times to express outrage. Even Mayor Nutter weighed in, going so far as to call the killing an "assassination" on MSNBC. For the first time since 9/11, it seemed that the whole country shared the same sense of sadness and anger.

Then reality set in.

Over the past two weeks, our country has gone from a refreshing state of collective compassion to our sadly familiar p
