Now that President Obama has rolled out what appears to be a canned Race War strategy, and ran into the Rose Garden to provide his unsolicited opinion for the media on the Trayvon Martin shooting, things have fundamentally changed about this story.

After following the heavily nuanced Obama administration for three  years I am of a reasonable belief this “Race War Narrative” was a pre-determined canned script looking for an event to land on. 
They just found one.
This story contains all the similar aspects to the opportunistic “Together We Thrive” Obama Campaign response to the Arizona-Giffords shooting.  With even more divisive and consequential rhetoric that could inevitably be far more dangerous. (more…)

Given the weeks events it’s refreshing to start the weekend off right.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Attorney General Eric Holder, MSNBC’s Reverend Al Sharpton, NAACP’s Ben Jealous, Rainbow Coalition’s Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Mikhail Muhammad, The Black Panthers and even PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA are conspicuously unavailable for comment…
Why?   Could it be that young 13 year old Mr. Coon might not look like “your son”?   Does that ‘what-you-look-like’ consideration play the primary role in determining whether to transmit your opinion into the public forum?  
If so, does not that very qualifier itself scream racism?   Is the President really saying I will only be engaged if, and I will only be outraged if, the victim may look like me;  Or as holder put it “my people”…? 
Why ((crickets)) ?   Where is Ed Schultz, Rachael Maddow, Chris Matthews, Anderson Cooper, John Daley, The Congressional Black Caucus or Jay Carney? 
KANSAS CITY – Police are investigating a race hate attack after a 13-year-old boy was doused in gasoline and set on fire.  The teenager, who suffered first degree burns to his face and hands, is white and his two attackers black.

His mother, Melissa Coon, said the attackers told her son ‘This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy’.
He noticed two older boys following him and as he arrived at his home the pair threw gas on him.  ‘They rushed him on the porch as he tried to get the door open,’ Mrs Coon told KMBC-TV.
‘[One of them] poured the gasoline, then flicked the Bic, and said, ‘This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy‘. (more…)

Final post today on all things Trayvonesque.   The institutional left-wing contingencies who carry their greatest dependence on race baiting narratives are in a feeding frenzy trying to position themselves at the trough for optical and financial advantage.

SANFORD, Fla. — Rallying in front of the Sanford Police Department headquarters, members of the New Black Panther Party ripped President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder for not responding forcefully enough to the killing of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager.

Mikhail Muhammad, the southern regional minister for the New Black Panther Party, told The Daily Caller that he thinks that the DOJ’s decision to get involved in this case came “a little too late.” (more…)

Time for a rant. Thanks, Patriot Dreamer. Your reference to Eric Holder’s “my people” comment has set me off. In the last few days, we have watched as the drama in France unfolded and the police cornered the monster who finished his killing spree by chasing a little girl with his motorcycle and holding her by the hair as he shot her in the head, because she was Jewish.
Everybody in the whole damned world, including the ignorant and willful liberals who hide from common sense like it is the plague, knew this man was going to be a muslim well before the newspapers were forced to tell the story. We are embroiled in the story of the death of Trayvon Martin. Robert De Niro has been gracious enough to share his views on white First Ladies with us. Some idiot who detoured her Slut Walk through the hallowed halls of Congress, where empty heads abide, has added fuel to the War on Women Crusade led by the least feminine and respectable females ever to lay claim to an X chromosome.  (more…)

It’s always easiest to “Blame-A-Bush” in the eyes of the institutional left…  Heck, they’ve made an abject science out of it.   However, on this Trayvon Martin story they even found a way to make this Rush Limbaugh’s fault.  
MSNBC host Ed Schultz blamed former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., for the death of Trayvon Martin, the teenager whose death in a shooting has made national news and sparked accusations of racism in America.

“Jeb Bush helped pave the way for this senseless tragedy and remains silent,” Schultz said last night on his show. “What a political tragedy.” […] (more…)

“Never let a good crisis go to waste”…..  I knew this opportunistic false racist pile-on perpetrated by the media and exploited by the White House/Obama Campaign/Obama himself, would happen.   Because the exploitation is so blatently obvious its Sickening.
The insufferable petty arrogance of the campaigner in chief is absolutely horrid.   Staggeringly selfish opportunistic exploitation.    “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”, yeah, he’d probably be acting like him too.
Oh man, we are gonna be hearing about this story for weeks from every possible nuanced organization that relies on racism and special interest exploitation to provide their cause celeb. 
WASHINGTON, D.C. — For the first time since the controversy erupted on the national scene, President Barack Obama weighed in on the killing of Trayvon Martin, calling it a tragedy, urging cooperation among law enforcement and declaring that “some soul searching” was needed throughout the country.

“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon,” Obama said, underscoring how the issue affected him on a personal, and not just a political or legal, level. “I think [Trayvon’s parents] are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves, and we are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened.” (more…)

And the 12-year-old pictures of a pee wee football playing choir boy to build sympathy is getting a little, well, annoyingly over the top.  Young Mr. Martin was visiting his father after getting suspended from school.  Trayvon was 17 years old when this occurred.  Seventeen.
It might make the optic more appealing, but, sorry Sharpton, I remember the Tawana Brawley fiasco, and even more recently I well remember the Duke Lacrosse players rape case fraud.   Optics are not always reality.

The consistent false drumbeat cries of racism and crime have diminished actionable credibility and unfortunately cast a long shadow of doubt over what could possibly be justified outrage.   Perhaps some folks consider Al Sharpton a strong advocate.   But many more consider him an opportunistic flamboyant Pentecostal preacher who spends $2,000 a year for hair care at Brooklyn’s Prima Donna Beauty Salon and never met a black crime he could not turn into some form of racist inquisition.
