George Zimmerman’s Brother Lectures President Obama About His Racial ‘Double Standard’ With Shooting Of Christopher Lane

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on August 22, 2013 · Flag

The Hannity show trotted out George Zimmerman’s brother, Robert, tonight, to lecture President Obama about being too black his “glaring double standard” with the Trayvon Martin shooting and the horrific shooting in Oklahoma of Australian teen Christopher Lane. I can’t think of anyone less appropriate to seek out for such comments given Robert Zimmerman’s quite public and quite despicable record of racist comments about interracial crime. But, given that Fox previously sought out Mark Fuhrman and Pat Buchanan – and given that Paula Deen and George Zimmerman were probably not available – I guess Robert Zimmerman was next in line.

Not that guest host David Webb (who frequently plays the role of what I call the African American designated black-attacker) said a word about Zimmerman’s bigotry. Webb started by asking Zimmerman about the “glaring hypocrisy” in the media on the subject.  But Zimmerman – maybe he’s looking for a paid Fox News gig - went straight to attacking President Obama.

I don’t know where to begin on the White House. Apparently, they’ve lost internet access or there’s some other explanation as to why the entire country is talking about the tragic slaying of Chris Lane and they’re unaware of it, just like Jay Carney was weeks ago, of our family’s security situation. I see the double standard there. If the president feels like he should make remarks, then he will. I wish that the White House chief deputy press secretary were a little bit more prepared to answer questions about some of the topics trending in our nation.

Of course, President Obama did speak out on the need for calm and said that any violence “dishonors what happened to Trayvon Martin and his family.” But Webb allowed Zimmerman to conveniently forget about that as he moved in for the racial kill, so to speak (no pun intended).

I don’t think it’s fair to say that he should know about everything that has any kind of racial inflection, nor in this case do I think that we should point out the race of the shooter or the alleged shooter as a factor that we need to look into and decry it as racist but for the fact that his social media accounts, seem to, by his own hand, suggests that he hates white people.

Well, it’s funny Zimmerman should mention racism on social media. Because Tommy Christopher caught a load of the same from Zimmerman on Twitter not too long ago. And last year, the Miami Herald uncovered George Zimmerman’s 2005 My Space page and found disparaging comments about Mexicans.

Not that Webb brought that up, either. He complained, “There are no civil rights leaders leading a charge on what’s happening to our young children today and why they end up in these situations.”

But despite the opening to take some more swipes at African Americans, Zimmerman segued into championing his brother's work "in the hood."

calling the Zimmerman family anti-black is like calling the NAACP anti-black. It just does not compute. I want anyone who listed ton the whole trial like me to look me in the eye and tell me that George was guilty of anything except perhaps not staying in his car. Which is not a crime. Just perhaps not recommended.

Shorty, do you know that the cross out is for ironic effect and not a revision?

The whole Fux KKKlan keeps conveniently “forgetting” that the white guy confessed to being the trigger man. But they aren’t racist.

The Zimmerman Klan is flowing over with racists. Daddy, Vigilante George and Robbie. How does Mom keep them all in clean white hoods and robes?

Hey, remember when Zimmerman was found innocent, and the first words out of his mouth were saying black people should apologize to him- Which was hosted on Hannity?

Yeah, that was classy. I wonder if the people in this segment can guess how many fingers I’m holding up. Hint: In stereo.
