(Via GZLegalCase) In an interview with the Orlando Sentinel posted September 29, 2012, Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump describes race as the “elephant in the room” in the George Zimmerman case.
The term “elephant in the room” typically describes something that people won’t talk about — despite how obvious and apparent it is. This term is misapplied in this case. Mr. Crump has led a chorus of voices in drawing attention to the race factor in the George Zimmerman case, including comments from the President of the United States. While it can be safely argued that it is largely the question of civil rights issues that has made the George Zimmerman case a national — and international — story, there is nothing to support the contention of racism in the Zimmerman case.
The real “elephant in the room,” however, is that race should not be a factor in the George Zimmerman case, and should never have been made one. (more…)
This is unreal. Seriously, unreal. Everytime I think the Obama administration cannot go any lower on the intellectually honest scale they find new ways to lower the bar. There is no longer daylight visible between the bar and the dirt.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department said Tuesday it never concluded that the consulate attack in Libya stemmed from protests over an American-made video ridiculing Islam, raising further questions about why the Obama administration used that explanation for more than a week after assailants killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. (it goes on)
Stop – Wait… wha? The State Dept never concluded the attack was from protests? Huh?
How friggin stupid do they think we are?

Massive unemployment, an economy contracting, exploding deficits, the flag of al-Qaeda being flown over U.S. embassies, and U.S. Ambassadors arriving home in coffins.
What is President Obama focused on?
Is it really any wonder why he, and his like-minded followers are circling the drain?
Meanwhile The Obama Campaign is focused on Big Bird….
The State Department is coming under more scrutiny ahead of anticipated hearings scheduled for tomorrow. Request for additional security fell on deaf ears, and despite State Dept claims there were no protests in front of the consulate in Benghazi. The Democrats are petrified of the impact on the election, desperate to protect President Obama, and are attempting rabid obfuscation:
The Congressional Hearing will be streamed live tomorrow at noon on the web – AVAILABLE HERE
(Reuters) – A U.S. security officer formerly stationed in Libya has told lawmakers he sent two cables to the State Department requesting more security agents for the American mission in Benghazi but received no response.
The officer, Eric Nordstrom, also said that a State Department official, Charlene Lamb, wanted to keep the number of U.S. security personnel in Benghazi “artificially low,” according to a memo summarizing his comments that was obtained by Reuters. (more…)
Just go read THIS. I’m not smart enough to determine the value or importance.
Let me know what you think. Thanks.
HatTip Arkansasmimi – FYI – George Zimmerman’s Mom, Gladys, and brother, Robert, are both scheduled to be interviewed by Piers Morgan tonight on CNN at 9:00 pm Eastern. This will be Gladys’s first media appearance since her family has been forced into hiding.
I predict viewers will gain a considerable measure of understanding, quite disparate from the mental imagery, when they see and hear Gladys talk about what her family has been through.
Via GWP – Mary Matalin takes Krugman down a peg…
When I hear the name Paul Krugman now I can’t help but think about him speaking to the Think Progress Occupier “crowd” at NetRootsNation 🙂 :
The first debate is over, the post-debate spins are quieting down, and the campaigns are working diligently to set up the narratives for the next round.
After hundreds of millions of dollars spent on negative attack ads by the Obama Team, it appears the debate performance by Mitt Romney was enough to deconstruct months of the false narratives. I think this segment from Charles Krauthammer encapsulates the Romney gain effectively.
In my opinion President Obama failed miserably because he was unprepared. Not actually unprepared in the sense of debate policy prep per se’, but more along the lines of unprepared to face the consequences for his own policy failures being called out on him. (more…)
