Umm....what? I'm continually shocked at assertions that are patently false, and the media's willingness to pass them off as the gospel truth because it's their side. Apparently "yellow is the new black" in terms of journalism. Read the original here. It's a tragedy. But it's an American tragedy when anyone, especially a child is killed. But unless proven otherwise, I'm not going to assume it's a racial thing. And which side is politicizing this? Just like to point out a couple quotes here:
Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Florida): This is Treyvon Martin. Trayvon Martin's murderer is still at large. It's been one month, thirty days, with no arrest. I want America to see this sweet young boy who was hunted down like a dog, shot in the street, and his killer is still at large.
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Georgia): "He was executed for 'WWB' in a 'GC.' Walking While Black in a Gated Community."

"His Republican opponents have jumped all over him because they do want to play politics with this issue. The President spoke from his heart on this, it was trying to emphasize with some parents who had just lost a child. By any measure, this was a tragedy and we need to let the investigation take its course," Stephanie Cutter, Obama's Deputy Campaign Manager, said on MSNBC today.
"People have to stop politicizing it," she added. "It's no surprise that some of our Republican opponents are trying to make an issue with this. But the President spoke from the heart and we need to let the investigation take its course."
