The media was not the only people to drive the racial and racist angle... the federal justice department even took it on.

PS, I have to say that I disagree with your opinion that this is a "left" thing - that's a broad stereotype that I take great exception to, being a liberal myself, as me and many of my similar friends are absolutely not racist, trying to "divide the nation", or whatever other ridiculous similar notion there is. Frankly, all the news media play up the racial divide in order to get ratings. That isn't a political ideology, that's a greed problem plain and simple. Please stop putting it on the "left", cuz even the "right" news organizations do it too.PrintSmith wrote: The point is to expose the actions of the left for what they are - an attempt to ensure the survival of the racial divide within the union.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Likely due to public pressure after they got all worked up reading ridiculous headlines meant to grab their attention and not objectively report the facts...

The feds don't investigate hearsay. It was more serious than just media blabber. The feds believed they had enough evidence to investigate Zimmerman for a hate crime. You can't be suggesting that the media drives law enforcement agencies?

TLGT, I know you're smart, and I know you know how reactionary public officials get when faced with overwhelming public outcry that can absolutely be manufactured entirely by the media. Humans are messy, illogical, fallible, emotional, and easily made defensive; justice department employees are no different. Heck, even the police force is no different - look at Rodney King. That case was probably similar to hundreds of previous ones, and ones that have happened since, yet how many cops actually go to trial for what happens? Would the feds have even gotten involved in this case if it weren't for the national attention it garnered?
An investigation is one thing, they didn't bring charges did they? They did their due diligence, and got the heat off their backs in the meantime. Win-win. For everyone except Trayvon. Now that this case is so emotionally charged, does anyone really expect truth and justice to really prevail?

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Looks like Hannity will do the first TV interview with Zimmerman tonight. I know he's already been found guilty by the smartest people around here, but maybe others would be interested to hear his story from his mouth. He may very well be guilty, but this isn't Iran after all.

There are reports that Hannity tried to pay Zimmerman's legal fees. Don't expect any hardball questions -- particularly about accusations that Zimmerman molested a relative.

Or, expect Hannity to come to Zimmerman's defense and explain how molestation is a good thing.

What relevance does his alleged actions when he was 8 have to do with this case? And it looks like you are convicting him of that crime too. Good thing you're not a judge.Raees wrote: There are reports that Hannity tried to pay Zimmerman's legal fees.

Where on earth did I convict him? I called them accusations. That's what they are.
Of course you play the "he was 8" card and ignore the accusations that the molestation continued for 10 years, until he was 18. But let's not mention that and just say he was 8. What relevance does anything Obama did when he was 8 have on his presidency? I don't know either but the Tea Party birthers were sure bringing it up a lot. Why didn't you ask the same question of them?
The relevance is that he's being interviewed for the first time and I said don't expect Hannity to ask him any hardball questions, since he offered to pay Zimmerman's legal fees.

He did ask hardball questions and what he was "accussed of", has no relevance to this caase. Does Obama's cocaine use when he was young have relevance to his job?Raees wrote: Where on earth did I convict him? I called them accusations. That's what they are.

Love the way you change horses in midstream to bring Obama into it.
An attorney for Martin's family, Benjamin Crump, said the interview about the alleged molestation over a 10-year period could be used at trial to show Zimmerman "has a history of violence and manipulation."
