Sharptonite Protesters Cheer Reverend Al Sharpton and Jeer Fox News & Geraldo Rivera at Trayvon Martin Rally in Harlem, NY … Is Geraldo a “White” Hispanic As Well?
The Double Standard of the Mob … Hmm, would appear the Trayvon Martin protesters think Geraldo Rivera is a “white” Hispanic as well.
During the Trayvon Martin rally in Harlem, NY yesterday, the crowd was all vocal with their “no justice, no peace” parroting the rebel rousing lines of the Rev. Al Sharpton until they noticed that FOX News’ Geraldo Rivera was in attendance as well. Individuals in the crowd started yelling, “Geraldo, what are you doing here,” “Fox get out” and “send them outta here”. Hmm, talk about your irony and double standard among those that claim to be honoring Trayvon Martin.
Let me see if I understand this. Isn’t the outrage from those that claim there was no justice for Trayvon when a jury came back with a verdict of “not guilty” in the George Zimmerman murder trial that Trayvon Marin was profiled and had every right to be where he was and was minding his own business? Doesn’t Geraldo have a right to be at a protest and it would seem that he was a guest of Al Sharpton and had no camera crew there, he was just an attendee. Rather duplicitous by the mob, don’t you think? But then again, only Kool-aid drinking folks are allowed at such gatherings. I guess the Al Sharpton crowd just can’t handle the truth and are bitter at Rivera’s comments that Al Sharpton and race politics drove this case and the murder charges against George Zimmerman. I guess the Sharpton crowd thinks that Geraldo Rivera is a “creepy ass cracker” as well.
More at NRO:
When Sharpton and the Fultons arrived shortly after noon, they were accompanied by Fox News commentator Geraldo Rivera in the raised area behind the dais. (He had no cameraman and seemed to be observing the proceedings as a guest.) When a handful of protesters directly behind me spotted Rivera, they began to complain loudly, repeatedly shouting, “Get Fox out!” and “What are you doing here?” and describing the network as “disgusting” (and another, less decorous term). The anti-Fox crowd was sufficiently vocal to compel Sharpton’s attention from the podium; he quieted them down by saying, “Don’t get distracted, let’s focus on what we’re doing now.”
EXIT QUESTION: I wonder how many people at this rally and chanting “no justice, no peace” actually watched the trial, were aware of the evidence presented and understand the law of self defense.
SECOND EXIT QUESTION: Why are none of the protesters concerned about the 61 murders that took place in Chicago during the time that the George Zimmerman murder trail was taking place?

What a Joke … Chicago Holds Rally for Justice for Trayvon Martin as Their City is a Killing Fields for Blacks … 61 Murders Took Place in Chicago During Zimmerman Trial
THE CHICAGO KILLING FIELDS: They say charity begins at home. Maybe protests and rallies should as well. The city of Chicago should maybe worry about their own issues of black teen deaths before they hold a rally for Trayvon Martin. Just saying.
Like many cities across the country, Chicago held a rally for Trayvon Martin, the 17 year old teen who was shot by George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer, in Sanford, Florida in self defense. Zimmerman was arrested, charged with murder and found “not guilty” of murder and manslaughter by a jury. But the jury verdict did not stop the race hustlers from fanning the flames of racism and calling for protests in an effort to force the DOJ to charge Zimmerman with Civil Rights charges and hate crimes.
The Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network organized the “Justice for Trayvon” rallies and vigils outside federal buildings in at least 101 cities: from New York and Los Angeles to Wichita, Kan., and Atlanta, where people stood in the rain at the base of the federal courthouse, with traffic blocked on surrounding downtown streets.
Chants rang out across the rallies. “Justice! Justice! Justice! … Now! Now! Now!” ”We won’t forget.” ”No justice! No peace!” Many also sang hymns, prayed and held hands.
And plenty of participants carried signs: “Who’s next?” “I am Trayvon Martin.” ”Enough Is Enough.”
Really Chicago, do the protesters really want to know who’s next? Is enough really enough? Who are these people kidding? Are they just in denial or do they really not pay attention to current affairs or what is going on in their own back yard? Do the people of Chicago even comprehend that there were 61 murders in Chicago, Illinois while the George Zimmerman murder trial was taking place? 61!!! Why is it that President Barack Obama has nothing to say to the black community about blacks killing blacks? Instead, it’s about racism. For some reason, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, the Congressional Black Caucus and the rest who show up to rallies for Trayvon Martin and his death calling for “justice” seem to care little about the real crime and issues that threaten blacks and black teens. Do they really want to break the cycle, or just find excuses to blame others?
But instead it being about the “Killing Fields” of Chicago, they make it all about George Zimmerman and focusing on a teen that was killed in self defense, so says the jury.
Pic from The Gateway Pundit from today’s “Justice for Trayvon” march in St. Louis. Justice, looks like vigilantism.
According to data available on the Chicago Tribune’s RedEye website, 52 of those killed were black, 43 were black males, and seven were children under the age of 18. The vast majority died of gunshot wounds.
The 15-year-old boy, Ed Cooper, was shot in the chest about 5:08 p.m. in the 600 block of North Lawndale Avenue in the East Garfield Park neighborhood, Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Daniel O’Brien said.
He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was declared dead at 5:54 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Cooper lived in the 1200 block of South Kostner Avenue.Police were dispatched to the block following a report of a person shot and found the boy, O’Brien said.The boy was playing a ballgame at the playground of Laura Ward Elementary School, formerly Ryerson Elementary, 646 N. Lawndale Ave., when he was shot, according to a relative who did not want to give her name. Ryerson was one of 49 elementary schools closed this June by the district.
Brandon Cage was standing with a group of people when a black Ford Taurus pulled up and a man got out and yelled gang slogans, according to police and Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The group yelled back their own slogans, and the man started firing. Cage was hit several times, and was rushed in critical condition to Advocate Christ Medical Center, police said.
But in Chicago, the crime and murders go on and on and on, but some how they all focus on a “white” Hispanic who killed Trayvon Martin in Florida, who was found not guilty of the murder and no one has been able to show that he was a racist, ever was a racist and ever committed a hate crime.
- Weekend violence leaves 9 dead, 47 shot
- 2 dead, 2 wounded in overnight shootings
- Man killed in Southwest Side shooting, teen found fatally shot
- Fourth Of July Violence In Chicago: Homicide Rate Passes 200 After Long Holiday Weekend Of Shootings
- Records show four children gunned down in Chicago during Zimmerman trial
But the race baiters who cling to the George Zimmerman murder trial and make him the face of racism, even though he is Hispanic, oh sorry, as the liberal MSM dubbed him, a “white” Hispanic, they sadly do not even know the names, nor care to the ones that are murdered in the Killing Fields of Chicago. Check out the following Sean Hannity interview where he stumped Hilary Shelton, the NAACP’s Washington Bureau Director, by asking him a simple question, “There were 61 deaths in Chicago. 61 deaths during just the time of the Zimmerman trial. Can you name one one person by name that died in Chicago?” Shelton could not name one!!! Now that is criminal.

Charles Krauthammer on Obama’s Trayvon Martin Speech: “I Thought It was a Political Speech Addressed to his Constituents on the Left … Obama Reracialized the Event”
Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer put forth his opinions on Barack Obama’s Trayvon Martin speech. He stated he thought it was a political speech addressed to his constituents on the Left, which was unfortunate. Krauthammer then said that it was “not enlightening” and the Trayvon Martin case was not about race. However, Obama reracialized it by his speech. Krauthammer then stated that he thought Obama did this speech as he knows there is no way they can bring Civil Rights charges against George Zimmerman. There is no there, there.
From Town Hall - Krauthammer: Obama’s Trayvon Speech “Not Enlightening”–The Trial Was Not About Race:
I’ve heard too many conservatives give the thumbs up to The One’s “heart-felt” and “genuine” speech. There are two reasons I don’t like it and these two reasons were the thread running through his 17 minute speech: 1) He was an apologist for black victim hood. 2) He appealed to the sentiments of white guilt. That in itself disqualifies the speech from having any positive or redemptive aspects. When he tried to speak “positive” at the end, it was immediately nullified based on the first part of his speech–the 9 or so minutes of his NAACP-like talking points.

Congressional Black Caucus Members Support Jesse Jackson’s Threat To Boycott Florida Over Zimmerman “Not Guilty” Verdict in Death of Trayvon Martin
Yup, I must have missed it where President Barack Obama said in his speech for the Congressional Black Caucus to knock off their nonsense?
Right on key, the Congressional Black Caucus members of the House followed in lockstep the calls of the Rev. Jesse Jackson to boycott Florida in the wake of the “not guilty” verdict in the George Zimmerman murder trial in the death of Trayvon Martin. Um, boycott Florida for what exactly? The Congressional Black Caucus, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the liberal MSM, Democrats, race-baiters not mentioned and Barack Obama all got what they wanted when George Zimmerman was arrested and charged with the murder of Trayvon Martin after Sanford, FL police and prosecutors initially thought that he should not be. George Zimmerman was then tried by a jury of his peers of which both the defense and prosecution agreed to. Those that cried for Zimmerman to be charged and tried got what they wanted through political pressure. However, when they did not get the verdict they wanted, the politicians who I guess do not respect the legal system or the juries verdict.
What is most pathetic is that Jesse Jackson and the CBC are highjacking the George Zimmerman murder trial and Trayvon Martin’s memory for their own political agenda. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) said she’s also on board with the boycott of Florida and “I would support whatever it takes to get these stand-your-ground laws off the books.” Does anyone remember “stand your ground” being a part of the Zimmerman defense? The answer would be no. So what is this really all about? Those that want to boycott Florida don’t care about a fair and legal jury trial, they wanted George Zimmerman to be guilty no matter what the evidence was in the case. How classy of them.
A number of House Democrats are lining up behind the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s threat for an economic boycott of Florida following the not-guilty verdict in the death of Trayvon Martin.
The lawmakers, all members of the Congressional Black Caucus, are fierce critics of the process that led to George Zimmerman’s acquittal in the fatal shooting last year of the Florida teenager. Exerting pressure on Florida’s economy as Jackson is suggesting, they said, could help overturn the state’s controversial stand-your-ground laws that many contend contributed to the tragedy.
“That’s probably the best strategy, because people understand dollars and cents,” Rep. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.) said Friday. “And they understand, if there’s a significant drop-off in revenues – at conventions, at Disney World and Universal Studios – that that will get the attention of the powerful.”

The Divider & Narcissist in Chief Barack Obama … Trayvon Martin Could Have Been Me (VIDEO & Transcript) … Obama Fans the Flames of Racism
THE EPIC FAILURE KNOWN AS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA: The Race Baiter in Chief was at it again yesterday as he threw more fuel on the fire in the wake of the George Zimmerman murder trial “not guilty” verdict.
Barack Obama, the community agitator is at it again. Because in the end, it’s all about Barack Obama and if you are white, you are a racist. Take a good watch and listen to President Barack Obama’s comments from the VIDEO below. Obama basically called the jury of six woman in the George Zimmerman murder trial racists. UNBELIEVABLE. Because race relations are not bad enough in the United States under this presidency and following the Trayvon Martin shooting death as race baiter and race hustlers have made matters worse playing the race card at every opportune moment.
So why would we not think that Barack Obama, the first black president, the individual who was supposed to be a bridge between the races better … make things worse. This narcissist had to once again make it about Obama. Instead of Obama saying if he had a son, he would have looked like Trayvon Martin, this time Obama had to say … “Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.” How is it that a man is supposed to lead, diffuse the issues and be a president to all, instead just takes the easy way out and identifies with only one segment of society? Sorry, but Obama is a poor excuse of a president and a poor excuse of a human being. All he can do is attack his own racism and past to Trayvon Martin like a leach. Instead of understanding that some one has a right to protect themselves and self-defense, Obama continues to pile on and pander to the black community to make matters worse between races. Maybe because if they do, We the People will be too busy being at each others throats to pay attention to his epic failure of a presidency? Oh, and by the way Mr. President, George Zimmerman WAS NOT WHITE!!!
Wow, as opined by the Gateway Pundit, if you lock your doors and protect your property, you are a racist. And according to Barack Obama if you were on the jury and found George Zimmerman “not guilty,” you must be racist as well. Instead if diffusing the fire and telling black America that, yes there is still racism in the United States, however, the case of George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin was not it, Barack Obama basically discounted the entire criminal case against Zimmerman and the fact that neither the FBI, the Florida prosecutors or Eric Holder and the DOJ can find no evidence that George Zimmerman was a racist, ever acted like a racists or the death of Trayvon Martin was racially motivated. As a matter of fact, even the prosecution in their closing arguments said it wasn’t about race.
Remarks by the President on Trayvon Martin (Full text).
First of all, I want to make sure that, once again, I send my thoughts and prayers, as well as Michelle’s, to the family of Trayvon Martin, and to remark on the incredible grace and dignity with which they’ve dealt with the entire situation. I can only imagine what they’re going through, and it’s remarkable how they’ve handled it.
The second thing I want to say is to reiterate what I said on Sunday, which is there’s going to be a lot of arguments about the legal issues in the case — I’ll let all the legal analysts and talking heads address those issues. The judge conducted the trial in a professional manner. The prosecution and the defense made their arguments. The juries were properly instructed that in a case such as this reasonable doubt was relevant, and they rendered a verdict. And once the jury has spoken, that’s how our system works. But I did want to just talk a little bit about context and how people have responded to it and how people are feeling.
You know, when Trayvon Martin was first shot I said that this could have been my son. Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago. And when you think about why, in the African American community at least, there’s a lot of pain around what happened here, I think it’s important to recognize that the African American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that doesn’t go away.
There are very few African American men in this country who haven’t had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me. There are very few African American men who haven’t had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That happens to me — at least before I was a senator. There are very few African Americans who haven’t had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off. That happens often.
And I don’t want to exaggerate this, but those sets of experiences inform how the African American community interprets what happened one night in Florida. And it’s inescapable for people to bring those experiences to bear. The African American community is also knowledgeable that there is a history of racial disparities in the application of our criminal laws — everything from the death penalty to enforcement of our drug laws. And that ends up having an impact in terms of how people interpret the case.
This must have been the Obama that related to Trayvon?
But why would we thing that Barack Obama would ever do the right thing? Instead of bringing people together, he brings up past racism, and singles out a group of people to blame. His speech did not make things better, it made matters worse. We can all remember how Obama dealt with the situation in Cambridge, MA when white police officers arrested a black professor. Without knowing any of the facts, Obama automatically deemed it racists and said the cops acted stupidly (VIDEO). This clown joked around to the press corps and basically called the police racists. Not much has changed with this president.
