The Zimmerman "PR" ??
A few nights ago, a brother of George Zimmerman was interviewed on the Bill Mahr show. It's been a year now since Trayvon was murdered. What transpired was one of the slickest "PR" performances I've seen on television. Mahr's audience was strangely tolerant of, if not fully taken-in, by this Zimmerman apologist. Check it out -- he may also have appeared elsewhere on T.V.; to sway public opinion in his belief that his brother is "innocent" of murder.
Appearances are everything on T.V.; especially to purveyors of lies. This guy appeared as "normal" as his brother appeared "strange". This one was slick, well-dressed, mild mannered, extremely well-spoken and "convincing" in his style of delivery. With the nation up in arms (no pun) against Newtown, this brother has his work "cut-out". But he was at least somewhat effective.
They are playing a new wrinkle on the race card! At the time of the murder, they claimed that George Zimmerman was "Hispanic" and "not white". They've dropped that approach. No doubt, that line went against the grain of Florida Cubans and Latinos who covet whiteness. They now claim they are "black"; because their mother is "Afro-Peruvian". Not their dad; he's white; and German (not Jewish, just German).
He pulled every string to have you believe that his brother, who stalked a black, unarmed youth, in the dark, and murdered him with a concealed hand-gun, was innocent! His brother was 'authorized' under Florida's "stand your ground" concealed-carry law, signed by Governor Jeb Bush. Mahr did not let him get away with attempting to minimize facts -- neither did the audience. That audience was far more sophisticated than your typical T.V. audience, however; I'm guessing their education level was far above the typical 6th grade level of viewers on other shows.
The passage of time, the short-memories of our citizenry, and the heightened awareness of more recent mass killing, might help them to slip George Zimmerman quietly away from the justice he deserves. Let's not let Trayvon be murdered again by slick P.R. on television!
Stay Vigilant! Stay Involved!
