The Weekly Standard has a great rundown on the latest Wisconsin Democrats rally efforts with national Democrat figureheads flying in from around the country. You know things are not looking good when Jesse Jackson is the most reasonable, and civil in tone, at a rally. Despite 2-J’s comparing Governor Walker to former Gov. George Wallace, who was a Democrat mind you, his rhetoric was by far the least hate filled.
Carrying around so much hate while maintaining such an anger filled visible disposition must be very draining. The rabid hatred of Governor Walker is beyond normal political disagreement. The rally speakers even went so far as to include comparisons to the 911 World Trade Center terror attacks and Walker allies to be jihadists.
TWS – Shortly after 5:30 p.m. Sunday, a flashy two-car motorcade pulled up in front of the Destiny Youth Plaza on the northwest side of Milwaukee. A crowd gathered around the first car to greet the Reverend Jesse Jackson, visiting Milwaukee to speak on behalf of Wisconsin workers and to rally voters to unseat Governor Scott Walker in the recall election here Tuesday. If anyone was bothered by the fact that Jackson arrived to speak on behalf of the working class in a Mercedes Benz S550 (starting price of some $100,000) and that his escort vehicle was a Cadillac Escalade ESV (starting at about $75,000), nobody showed it.
Jackson was ushered in the front door and quickly escorted to a back hallway, where he mingled with VIPs as a cameraman from WISN television, the local ABC affiliate, captured the warm greetings he had for union leaders and prominent Democrats. (more…)
I hate to see this happen folks, but in this hearing the state set the defense up for a tactical trap, and because George And Shelly had lied to the court, and allowed their attorney Mark O’Mara to be in the dark, they set themselves up for this. There is no doubt when you look at the state’s evidence presented to Judge Lester that George and Shelly Zimmerman specifically engaged in an act of deception. They lied; and not only did they lie to the court, but they compromised their attorney by misleading him too.
The Transcript from the original April 20th Bond Hearing is HERE pdf
The Motion to revoke the BOND is HERE pdf Which also includes the transcripts from the phone calls between George and Shelly, and the State’s proof of their specific and intentional collusion to lie to the court, including their credit union bank statements from April 19th (the day before the bond hearing) where they show the Zimmerman’s had specific access to to $135,000 + in funds.
Judge Lester Revokes bail… and explains.
Bernie De la Rionda Calls Shelly Zimmerman a LIAR.
O’Mara Discusses…
[…] At Friday’s court hearing, De la Rionda and O’Mara also asked a judge to stop the public release of witness names and statements made by Zimmerman to police officers. Those documents normally are part of the public record under Florida law. (more…)
What is wrong with this article (screen shot below) from CBS-DC ? It’s subtle but what they are doing is specifically intentional. Can you see it?
The CBS article is about Alexander Kinyua, the man who killed his roommate and ate part of his heart and liver. But the accompanying picture that goes along with the article shows a white male in handcuffs. Why? (more…)
(Via Weinerboy at the Orlando Sentinel) George Zimmerman, the defendant in one of the most-watched murder cases in the country, on Thursday added a new lawyer to his defense team: veteran Orlando attorney Donald R. West, who specializes in murders.
Attorney Mark O’Mara, lead defense counsel in the case, plans to make a formal announcement today.
West has handled some of the most high-profile criminal cases in the Orlando area in the past 20 years.
In 1998, he served as co-counsel and helped Joseph “Crazy Joe” Spaziano get off death row. Spaziano is the former motorcycle gang member who was convicted of raping and murdering an Orlando teenager, whose body was found in an Altamonte Springs dump. (more…)
Yet another example of the hypocrisy of the leftist progs. Imagine what the headlines would read if the Republican Party announced how it was going to use churches to register and eductate voters? The left would be demanding retreat and threatening tax-exempt status revocation for any church or minister who would engage.
Yet, it’s ok to blur the line between Church and State when it fits the agenda of the progs.
WASHINGTON — The Rev. Dr. Franklyn Richardson longs for the old days, when all it took was Sunday sermons by African-American ministers to fire up their flocks to get registered and vote in local, state and federal elections.
“In the past, all we had to do was encourage people to register,” said Richardson, the senior pastor of the Grace Baptist Church of Mount Vernon, N.Y., and Port St. Lucie, Fla., and the chair of the Conference of National Black Churches. “Now it’s a different animal.” (more…)
Following the essential advice of professional money hustlers, TrayMom™ toned down the bling for this visit and sported a more subtle and subdued pin striped suit befitting the financially distressed East St. Louis community church. However, that didn’t stop TrayMom™ from continuing to pass the plate. Once again the Scheme Team™ hiding behind the guise of raising funds for the “Trayvon Foundation”™.
[…] Trayvon’s father, Tracy Martin, who grew up in East St. Louis, and his mother, Sybrina Fulton, attended a Stop the Violence rally Friday at the North End Missionary Baptist Church. The church’s capacity was 750, but the crowd filled the sanctuary and spilled outside.
Benjamin Crump, the attorney for Trayvon’s family, stirred the packed church by asking them to repeat after him loud enough so Trayvon could hear them: “I am Trayvon Martin.”
He compared the death of Trayvon Martin, 16, on Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla., after a neighborhood watch member shot the teen, to the death of Emmett Till, 14, who in 1955 was murdered after whistling at a white woman.
Emmett Till’s mother, Mamie, made the “brave decision” to have her son’s brutalized body brought from Mississippi back to Chicago, stopping in cities along the way to let the people know what three white men did to her son.
Then he looked around at the audience and said the Martin family made the decision that they would not be quiet about the situation but would talk, beg, scream and fight until they got justice. […]
Benjamin Crump knows how to pitch a crowd, and deliver them to a standing fervor while shouting the names of Trayvon™ and TrayMom™. The tour has steadily improved and become more efficient in performance delivery, each participant more comfortable with their role. Now, with so many promotional events now under their belt, they are getting quite good at the standard “rally in a coffin box” it takes them no time to swoop in, deliver the message, work up the crowd, and then deliver the fleecing.

OMG, the level of irony in this one is beyond comprehension….
WASHINGTON DC – In an effort to better educate students and their parents about race relations and social injustice, a D.C. elementary school has declared Friday “Trayvon Martin Day.”
