Zimmerman's father: "I never foresaw so much hate coming from the president"
byHayate YagamiFollow

I never foresaw so much hate coming from the president, the Congressional Black Caucus, NAACP, every organization imaginable is trying to get notoriety or profit from this in some way, but there's so much hate.

1. What doesn't he talk about the hate that caused his son to kill a kid?

who needs to take some ownership for his actions

[lunatica]

2. When all you do is hate then what everyone else says or does sounds like hate to you

It's not rocket science. People project what they feel on everyone else. They'll project it on their animals too.

[calimary]

37. Bingo.

The programming is certainly complete on that one.

[pinboy3niner]

3. So much worse than the hate that comes from the barrel of a gun

[Boxerfan]

4. A True WTF?? I guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree

Projectionistic cognitive disonance-I has it!

The Presidents comments showed anything but hate-
dang am spelling...(reason for edit but I'm leaving the made-up word)

[izquierdista]

5. Translation:

I hate the President, the Congressional Black Caucus, NAACP, every organization imaginable, and the rest of you!

[EOTE]

15. Bingo! That's it exactly. NT

6. Shooting unarmed children in the street because of their skin color just

might make someone angry. **sarcasm tag**

I think the president has shown remarkable restraint given the situation, and has been very responsible in asking folks to let DOJ do their job. That was a gift from him as far as I'm concerned.

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. These are the types of people who will use any situation (including the crimes of their son)

to take a poke at the President.

[NatBurner]

7. pretty much. and the fucking gcoons always get away with it

pity

(sarcasm, btw)

i'm thinking papa zim has been pulling a few strings

[TomClash]

9. Yeah that's the issue Judge

Just shift the blame to African-Americans. Haven't you enabled your idiot son enough?

[pinboy3niner]

10. Dad is such a fuckin' goon

And I mean that as a 'term of endearment.' Really.

[WI_DEM]

11. What hate filled comments by the president? expressing grief for the Martin family?

[Bluerthanblue]

29. hey, your're not supposed to question the judge!

Evidence? he don't need no stinkin evidence.

Honestly, the way this man spoke in the interview, he seems to think that he was there when Trayvon was killed. You can hear him thinking about what the proper answer would be and arranging it to fit his concept of self-defense.

I found it very offensive that he tried to make himself the victim, make this all about how difficult this episode is for him, when he talked about Vietnam. Did I miss his words of sorrow and compassion for the family of Trayvon- who, but for the actions this man's son- would still be alive today?

Hate? this man doesn't see it where it resides.

36. RWers have accused the President of using "Racial Code" in his expression of sympathy

That interpretation makes me want to strangle a few folks in the media whose racism is OBVIOUS, not "in code."

[Brooklyn Dame]

12. That. Right. There....

...is one of the most stunning displays of hubris, cloaked racism and victimhood I've seen in a veeeeeeeery long time. At least they're alive to complain about it.

13. Project much, asshole?

[TBF]

23. +1 nt

[arthritisR_US]

14. WTF, all the President has shown is

compassion for the boy whom his son racially profiled, then stalked while hurling vile and racial slurs and then in cold blooded HATE murdered. What a pathetic piece of entitlement crap!

[Javaman]

16. Zimmerman's dad is an Asian Woman?

that's a twist!

[nobodyspecial]

17. Hate?!?!?

The president's comments were very mild to say the least.

[TwilightGardener]

18. Yes, acknowledgment of a youngster's tragic, needless death = seething hate.

[sadbear]

19. There goes the "Zimmerman is a Dem" meme

I'm betting the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[butterfly77]

20. These people really have ..

mental problems or some type of block in their brain where they can't face reality or something.

He and his friends are lying in everyone's face when the facts are right in everyone's face,they are calling everyone else racists because in reality that is what they are.

He and his defenders are mainly republiCONS who lie day in and day out regardless of the facts..

Blacks are suppose to be full of hate because they want justice...and it isn't just Black people.

[Johonny]

21. people do tend to hate people that shoot unarmed people

ask the president and all the hate mail he gets from the unarmed people kill in his drone attacks. The president can fill you in on how nasty the hate mail can get I'm sure.

[SpencerShay]

25. Um...

"ask the president and all the hate mail he gets from the unarmed people kill in his drone attacks."

How is it possible President Obama is able to receive hate mail from people who were KILLED in drone attacks? And, another thing, why don't you posters who want everybody to only discuss drone attacks 24/7, simply start a thread about drone strikes, so you can discuss drone attacks 24/7, instead of using nearly every Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman thread to express outrage about them? It makes your "concern" seem insincere.

[kpete]

27. ^^%&*&*&**_

[lunatica]

41. You just broke the forum rules

[Johonny]

42. If you don't think this president is an expert on irrational hatred

then that's on you. Me I've seen enough hatred of Obama here, out in the media to know Obama could fill this man in on how horrible hate can get. I no way do I see Obama's comments as hate.

Your comments on Obama not getting hate mail seems particularly naive and particularly on Drone attacks where even here on the DU he gets a lot of hate on this subject.

You see I wasn't blaming Obama for such attacks or were the attacks judge good or bad. I was using it as an example of how such events tend to bring the hate. Obama being president has to make decision that could kill innocent people, it does suck at times to be president. Zimmerman and his dad, not so much. They brought the events on themselves.

[pinboy3niner]

30. Off-topic and inappropriate here

Better self-deleted.

[thucythucy]

22. And this guy was a judge?

Somebody should take a really close look at his record on the bench.

[Bluerthanblue]

31. I agree-

"was" is the only positive part of that sentence.

[Spazito]

24. Hmmm, what do his list of 'haters' have in common....

gee, let me guess. They are ALL black. Like father, like son, it seems. These comments are NOT helpful to his son, they just re-affirm the racism inherent in the killing of Trayvon, imo.

[Fawke Em]

26. I'm confused.

How does saying that, if you had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin and, if that son were killed, I would hope the parents received justice = hate?

[emulatorloo]

32. "Fox Exclusive"

Says everything you need to know.

[newspeak]

33. gee, it sounds like zimmerman's dad is also trying to campaign while he has public air time

because I heard what obama said and I didn't hear any "hate" in what he said. Keep trying you putz, your sheet is showing.

[Blue_Roses]

34. This is so disturbing

the blatant lies trashing this kid when he is no longer here to defend himself. How can he question Trayvon's girlfriend? Who is he to decide whether she was talking to him or not and besides, the phone records prove it. That one just is mind-boggling.

[Cleita]

35. Seems daddy dearest is at the root of sonny boy's mental state.

Apparently, he's the one who laid the foundation of his son's prejudices.

[DefenseLawyer]

38. It's getting to be that you can't even shoot a darkie

without everyone trying to stick their nose into your business.

[fishwax]

39. the president has been hateful? wtf?

[TheWraith]

43. What a whiny little asshole. nt

[sendero]

44. I've never foresaw so many blatant lies.

... coming from an ex judge.

[rbrnmw]

45. But your son is a nice guy right?

Your whole family is hateful
