Hannity: Didn't George Zimmerman Take One To The Prom?

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on July 15, 2013 · Flag

In the middle of an interview with George Zimmerman's defense attorneys in which Sean Hannity was trying to prove Zimmerman is not a racist, Hannity let his own feelings about African Americans slip when he said, "Didn't George Zimerman... take one to the prom?"

At about 3:35 in the video below, Hannity followed the Fox News meme of using the Zimmerman trial to racially smear President Obama. He asked attorneys Mark O'Mara and Don West, "What do you think about Eric Holder and the news of the day that they're considering... civil rights charges against George."

Predictably, O'Mara described Zimmerman as "without a racist bone in his body" and, at the same time, took a swipe at the Obama administration and African Americans by saying, "I think the suggestion that they're going to look at it is just placating those people who they want to placate to believe that there's still some investigation going on."

So Hannity responded:

Didn't George Zimmerman date a black woman, take one to the prom?

O'Mara replied with an emphatic, "Yeah."

The two went on to discuss how Zimmerman mentored two young black children. I'm surprised they didn't say that some of his best friends are black.

@nancy desingers if you believe that Trayvon referred to Zimmerman as a cracker that means you must believe Rachel Jeantel’s story. If you believe Jeantel’s story then you must also except that Zimmerman approached Trayvon and not the other way around. Without Jeantel’s story you have no evidence Trayvon referred to anyone as a cracker, yet you obviously disbelieve her when she says Zimmerman confronted him if you are saying that Trayvon attacked Zimmerman. You can’t have it both ways.

If Trayvon were to have attacked Zimmerman he would have won. I will explain why. According to Zimmerman Trayvon could not be seen in the darkness and if Trayvon yelled out to Zimmerman as he claims that means Trayvon could see him. IF he could see him, then why not jump him from behind and slam his face in the sidewalk? At this point Trayvon could easily beat up Zimmerman, grab his gun if he wanted to, and then shoot him.

Zimmerman’s story contradicts the idea that Trayvon jumped him. After all, Trayvon yelled out to him and gave him time to turn around and answer him. Hardly the act of a street punk trying to get the jump on someone. Trayvon also had his unopened Arizona Watermelon Fruit Cocktail can that he could have used to smash into Zimmerman’s face or head. Trayvon never used it.

Trayvon’s actions and the events of that evening lead up to the fact that Trayvon was the one followed and confronted.

Zimmerman’s issue isn’t with black women,.. He only feels threaten by the black men.

I love newshounds, I think you guys do great work. Also, I think Hannity is a racist a**hole. However, I don’t think his line about Zimmerman taking a black woman to the prom was racist. That’s just my opinion though. I still love ya, newshounds.

Peach, how about I put it a little more simply:

Zimmerman spent his 20s hating black people, as well as having a self-hatred of himself that he took out on Mexicans. His Myspace, his Twitter, and his first Facebook page are full of that. And his lawyers only scrubbed it up to a certain date:

http://politicalblindspot.org/george-zimmermans-old-myspace-surfaces-full-of-racist-statements-and-admissions-of-criminal-activity/

Oh, and do pay careful consideration to the part where he picked a fight with a cop, and his daddy came to save him then, too.

Bottom line: George Zimmerman, like his brother and father… is a racist. Those kids he mentored were a beard, his black girlfriend was probably a beard. And people who looked objectively into him (the opposite of what you did) knows this.

BTW, I know we talked about this before here on Newshounds, but isn’t it funny that four pics of Trayvon Martin being stupid on Facebook are a smoking gun, yet, three social networks full of Zimmerman fantasizing the deaths of blacks and Mexicans by his hand was somehow inadmissable because they “didn’t relate specifically to Martin?” Come to think of it, the crimes he was proud of himself for didn’t get mentioned in court, either…

So when someone is called a racist and you point out behavior they’ve exhibited that defies the accusations of racism its racist to do so? The stupidity….

Peach, the “Some of my best friends are…” argument, as well as the variations when speaking for other people, is such a trademark of racism that it’s basically a self-inflicted stereotype.

And look at the way Hannity said that- Wording and tone. Zimmerman’s prom date wasn’t a person to our dear host, she was a prop. It’s the same kind of “don’t notice how I say it!” misdirection we get when Megyn Kelly and Bill O’Reilly talk about race, and try to bury what they really want to say…

Except Sean’s not any good at hiding it. At least with the other two, you have some level of doubt, despite how much of their comments are blatant.

Hannity is such a racist, but Tea Partiers like Princess Peach are so much so themselves they cannot see the de facto racism nor the blatant racism, the undervaluing, the marginalization, the utter contempt. To them, that’s natural and decent. Our nation has serious issues and deep trouble.

Someone has to explain that to you, wingnut teabagger moron traitor to your gender?

“Didn’t George Zimmerman date a black woman, take one to the prom?”

How exactly is that racist?

KKKlannity should introduce Vigilante George to some of his black toadies like Jesse Lee Peterson and Herman Cain.

Well, well, well… Seems Zimmerman’s old Myspace page is a real smoking gun for his purity on racial issues. Not only has he been a racist against blacks and a self-hating racist against Latinos at least since he was 20, but he actually brags on there about committing two felonies, then getting off because of how they were downplayed.

Gee, I wonder how much this appeared on Fox, seeing as how Trayvon’s Twitter activity was the basis of their attacks on him… What? Zimmerman was special? Well, OK then.

Hannocchio the RINO is the product of his predominantly white environment. He was raised in a predominantly white neighborhood, went to a predominantly white private school, had predominantly white friends, moved to wealthy predominantly white neighborhood with a predominantly white private school for his spoiled kids, a predominantly white tennis club, and he associates with his predominantly white friends. Once in a while, he will parade a few African Americans in front of his audience as a cover.

The Stop Hannity Express is surprised that this RINO didn’t say “it to the prom.” But hey, what do you expect from a man who associated with a neo Nazi, and is friends with Patrick J. Buchanan, George Allen, Ted Nugent, and other hatemongers.

If anyone deserves to be jailed, it’s this graying media hack. He’s done things in his past that would scare off his audience, and he knows it.

Coming down the pipe:

1. Hannocchio the Rino is embarrassed.
2. Another scandal rocks this fraudulent “news” outlet.
3. A well-know News Corp. hack is exposed.

NOTE TO HANNITY

Only a desperate female would go to the prom with a skinny, loud mouth, cigarette-smelling, uni-brow, dark-haired cretin.

Liberty Bell, I’m REALLY not seeing how the “actual quote” makes things any better. Would you care to clarify how “date a black woman at the prom” (incidentally, during your clarification, you might want to explain that atrocious grammar—it really makes NO sense as you’ve written it and, if you’ve accurately transcribed it, it makes no sense whatsoever) makes the following “take one to the prom” any LESS racially insensitive? I’d even be willing to take the “actual” quote as even MORE of a blatantly racist sentiment than Ellen’s alleged doctoring of the quote.

Liberty Bell,
If you bothered to read my post, you would see how I got the entire quote and put it in context.

What’s really hilarious is how you can’t stay away from this site, despite your constant complaining about us.

GZ was a casual racist at work, and singled out black people under his neighborhood watch. His dad was known for comments like “Only black people can be racist, but they love to pretend in court,” and his brother’s Twitter account read like the Skinheads own it.

But yeah, taking a black girl to the prom proves that family had no influence on him through his 20s. That’s kinda like saying that a 29 year-old who took a Jewish girl to the prom can’t become an anti-semite over the course of 11-12 years. Even though it was just a movie, American History X actually has a fair share of reality to how quickly it can happen- They go through something bad, where they only hate a few of the demographic as People, then some piece of slime gets into their head and convinces them that the entire demographic is like that, and they just had blinders on…

Hey, wasn’t Zimmerman a huge fan of Hannity before Fox News went to bat for him? I seem to remember that being one of his factors for giving the interview…

Hannity accidentally reveals more than he intended about his feelings for African Americans.
