Report: Spitzer's wife plans to divorce him

In the wake of the Zimmerman not-guilty verdict, the media's outright lies (http://www.breitbart.com/BigJournalism/2013/07/15/Nancy-Grace-Still-falselyclaiming-Fucking-coon), race-baiting (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/07/16/NancyGrace-Taco-Bell-Zimmerman-Churro), misinformation (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/07/17/NPRMisleads-About-Stand-Your-Ground), shrillness (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/07/13/APReporter-on-Zimmerman-Verdict-So-We-Can-All-Kill-TeenagersNow), downplaying of events inconvenient to their narrative (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/07/16/TwentyOne-Acts-of-Post-Zimmerman%20Verdict-Violence-andcounting), and hysterical and dangerous stoking of racial animus have been in fifth-gear 24/7 for going on five days now. And they are just getting started. NBC's Al Sharpton is currently arranging for 100 weekend protests in 100 cities (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/07/15/NBCsAl-Sharpton-Plans-Protest-in-100-Cities).
Cutting through the muck to the truth is therefore New Media's job; and here are ten things the media are either ignoring or downplaying in their partisan effort to turn a loss into a win

1. There is Zero Evidence Race was Involved In the Shooting Early last year, as the tragic and fatal shooting of teenager Trayvon Martin was just starting to bubble up, the media falsely described George Zimmerman as "white. (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/07/13/Media-Zimmerman-CoverageRap-Sheet)" The name Zimmerman apparently fooled the media into believing they had a white versus black narrative on their hands. Once they learned Zimmerman was Hispanic, rather than change course, in order to cover up their mistake, the media put the pedal to the metal in pushing a racial angle.

This crusade, however, is anti-science. A thorough federal investigation (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/07/13/FBI-no-racist-motiveTrayvon-case) into Zimmerman found absolutely no evidence that there was any racism in his past or in his motivations the night of the shooting. During the trial, the prosecution did not accuse Zimmerman of having any kind of racial motive. The one juror who has spoken out said the jury saw no evidence of a racial motivation (http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV?id=%7B93DEBDB2-2A32-4014-B750BD9EE0021008%7D&title=Zimmerman-Juror-Race-Did-Not-Play-A-Role). The media's racial narrative is based on nothing more than partisan lies, speculation, innuendo, and a cynical alchemy conjured from nothing to enflame division and hate. Moreover, it is reasonable to assume the media have been swarming Zimmerman's life looking for anything that might point to racism. But as of yet there have been no media reports (that weren't later debunked and retracted) reporting Zimmerman has been found to be a closet racist. On the contrary

2. Zimmerman's Admirable History of Being Colorblind Toward Blacks Zimmerman's past indicates he is color blind. He has dated black women (http://www.examiner.com/article/ignored-by-media-zimmerman-voted-for-obamatutored-black-kids), tutored black children (http://www.examiner.com/article/ignoredby-media-zimmerman-voted-for-obama-tutored-black-kids), once stood up for a black homeless man (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/05/24/GeorgeZimmerman-Black-Homeless-Man-Sanford-Police) against the police (we're told he so desperately wants to impress), has black relatives (http://www.examiner.com/article/ignored-by-media-zimmerman-voted-for-obamatutored-black-kids), and voted for the first black president (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/02/06/Zimmerman-brother-votedObama).

3. Zimmerman is Hispanic, Not White Like President Obama, Zimmerman has one white parent. Quite properly, the media have never referred to Obama as "half-black," a "self-described black," or a "white black." Obama is black. Period. Zimmerman, however, has been stripped of his Hispanic racial identity across almost every media outlet in America. Though he is as Hispanic as Obama is black, because it is inconvenient to the white versus black racial narrative the media are hyping, the media refuse to identify Zimmerman as a Hispanic. A full fifteen months after the media learned they had made a mistake and that their prey was Hispanic, some in media are still referring to Zimmerman as "white. (http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2013/07/15/AP-Still-Referring-to-Zimmermanas-White)" Those not referring to him as white are either ignoring his racial heritage altogether, or describing him as a "white Hispanic (http://www.breitbart.com/BigJournalism/2013/07/11/CNN-white-hispanic)" or some variation of a "self-described Hispanic (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/07/15/Washington-PostZimmerman-White-Father)." As far as I know, this is an unprecedented editorial decision. Speaking of unprecedented

4. Obama's Justice Department Has Launched a National Fishing Expedition Against Zimmerman Probably because the reporting of such a frightening and Orwellian act of federal overreach might make look Zimmerman look sympathetic and hurt Obama, the media have apparently decided to ignore Attorney General Eric Holder's public witch hunt (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/07/16/DOJ-phone-call-Zimmerman). The Justice Department is setting up a public tip line for Americans to "help build a case against Zimmerman." In order to build a civil rights case, the government needs evidence of racism. The federal government crowd-sourcing for evidence against a single American is both chilling and something heretofore unheard of.

5. Like Some Conservatives, President Obama Feared Violence After the Verdict One of the false racially-charged talking points some in media are using against conservatives is that we are racist for fearing there might be violence in the wake of the verdict (http://www.salon.com/2012/08/13/why_conservatives_obsess_over_flash_mobs_and_race_riots/). Something inconvenient to that narrative is the fact that a black, leftist American president beloved by the media also feared there would be violence in the wake of the verdict. After the verdict was announced, the president released a statement that said in part (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/07/14/Obama-Responds-toZimmerman-Verdict-Stem-the-Tide-of-Gun-Violence): I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. Unfortunately for a race-baiting media, this, one of the president's better moments, has to be ignored in order to serve an artificial narrative. Which brings me to number six

6. There Has Been Widespread Violence After the Verdict The fear President Obama and those "racist" conservatives shared about the possibility of violence in the wake of the Zimmerman verdict has been vindicated. In just a few days, Breitbart News has documented over two dozen separate acts of violence and lawlessness (http://www.breitbart.com/BigJournalism/2013/07/16/Twenty-One-Acts-of-Post-Zimmerman%20Verdict-Violenceand-counting) throughout the country. The media are dutifully covering up this widespread violence. Yes, they report on each separate act, but always with a "mostly peaceful" qualifier. The media also refuse to connect the dots and widen their reportorial context to show the entire picture. One aspect of this lawless spree the racially-obsessed media adamantly refuse to report on are the reported "hate crimes" being committed by black against whites and Hispanics. Which brings me to

7. Zimmerman Protesters Commit Numerous Racially-Motivated Assaults: While the irresponsible media is inventing from whole cloth a racial narrative in the Trayvon shooting, at the same time, they are willfully ignoring actual racially-motivated assaults occurring in the wake of the verdict. Thus far, there have been three reported hate crime (http://www.breitbart.com/BigJournalism/2013/07/16/Twenty-One-Acts-of-Post-Zimmerman%20Verdict-Violenceand-counting)s -- actual assaults -- committed by Trayvon supporters. But like the awful murders taking hundreds of black lives in Chicago, the media refuse to call national attention to these verdict-inspired hate crimes because there is no political upside in doing so. How can a liberal media call attention to the violence in Chicago when liberals and liberalism are the problem? The same thinking holds true for these reported assaults by blacks against Hispanics and whites. To focus on reality might undermine the fabricated narrative that an innocent black teenager was stalked and murdered by a racist white man.

8. "Stand Your Ground" Has Nothing to do With the Zimmerman Case Other than ginning up black turnout for Obama's re-election effort in the crucial swing state of Florida and enflaming racial tensions (which solidifies the Democrat base), another partisan goal the media hopes to achieve from the Zimmerman case is to toxify the "Stand Your Ground" laws that currently exist in 30 states. But like the fact that Zimmerman is not white and that there is zero evidence showing race was in any way involved in his actions the night of the shooting, the media have also bumped into another inconvenient reality: "Stand Your Ground" had nothing to do with Zimmerman's defense or acquittal. (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2013/07/17/eric_holders_stand_your_ground_squirrel_119255.html) The Zimmerman case was a simple case of self-defense (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2013/07/17/eric_holders_stand_your_ground_squirrel_119255.html):

The jury received standard instructions. Zimmerman did not invoke the Stand Your Ground provision. Zimmerman later waived his right to a pretrial immunity hearing under the Stand Your Ground procedures. And as National Reviews Sterling Beard points out, The only time Stand Your Ground came up during the trial proper was when a prosecution witness stated that hed taught a class Zimmerman had attended that covered Stand Your Ground. Even the prosecution rejects the cynical attempt to tie Martins death to Stand Your Ground. Prosecutor John Guy couldnt have made it clearer during the trial: This case is not about standing your ground. During their post-trial press conference, as conservative talk show host Victoria Taft first noted, a Miami Herald reporter asked the prosecution team specifically whether Stand Your Ground affected the facts in this case and whether this case could have been won, perhaps, pre the changes in the law. Prosecutor Bernie De La Rionda replied: You know, self-defense has existed for a long time. And weve dealt with it in Jackson for a long time. These facts, though, have failed to stop Eric Holder or the media from pretending the complete opposite is true.

9. Rachel Jeantel Might Be Responsible for the Deadly Confrontation An unfortunate mix of marijuana (http://www.breitbart.com/BigGovernment/2013/07/08/Judge-Rules-Trayvon-Martin-s-Marijuana-Use-Admissible), homophobia, and a friend whispering warnings in your ear (http://drudgereport.com/flashrj.htm) at night, could go a long towards explaining why a physical altercation occurred: [CNN's PIERS] MORGAN: And he was freaked out by it [Zimmerman following him]? JEANTEL: Yes. Definitely after I say may be a rapist, for every boy, for every man, every -- who's not that kind of way, seeing a grown man following them, would they be creep out? She continued: "And people need to understand, he didn't want that creepy ass cracker going to his father or girlfriend's house to go get -- mind you, his little brother was there. You know -- now, mind you, I told you -- I told Trayvon it might have been a rapist." Evidence that shows why Trayvon might have been the aggressor, though, is inconvenient to a media desperate to enflame racial tensions. Moreover, bringing the issue of homophobia into the personal narratives of Trayvon and Jeantel just can't be allowed to happen. This bombshell has been swept under the rug just as effectively as the other nine.

10. The Florida Justice System's Leniency Towards Trayvon Led to His Death In order to make his crime statistics look good, Police Chief Charles Hurley of the MiamiDade School Police Department is suspected of juicing the numbers by treating outright crimes as simple disciplinary problems. As Robert Stacy McCain reports (http://spectator.org/blog/2013/07/15/trayvon-crime-school-miami) in the American Spectator, Trayvon Martin ended up being a victim of this practice. Instead of being arrested and charged after being found with a burglary tool and 13 pieces of jewelry stolen from a house a half-mile from the school, Trayvon was suspended from school. Trayvon was also caught with marijuana: Either of those incidents could have put Trayvon Martin into the custody of the juvenile justice system. However, because of Chief Hurleys attempt to reduce the school crime statistics according to sworn testimony, officers were basically told to lie and falsify reports Martin was never arrested. And if he had been arrested, he might never have been in Sanford the night of his fatal encounter with Zimmerman. What we have here is a case of police corruption in which the media have shown no interest, even though you can connect the dots to Trayvon's tragic death. But to report this story would mean upsetting the narrative that Trayvon was an innocent (like many of us at 17, he got in trouble) and that the only cause of his death was a racist white man protected by racist white laws (passed almost unanimously by Republicans and Democrats (http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-03-27/news/os-ed-trayvonmartin-stand-your-ground-intro-03271-20120326_1_unintended-consequences-groundlaw)).

-While the simple and noble act of reporting the full truth might help to ease tensions, as racial violence breaks out across the country, the media have shown no remorse for enflaming citizens with falsehoods. Sadly, the media have not even signaled that they might slow down. If anything, the media are just warming up for what they seem to hope will be "a long, hot weekend.

@Jerkalert On the contrary. As a writer, I have noted that more and more, instead of quoting literature, we quote TV/movies. "Defiant" is quoting a writer, who spoke through the character of James T. Kirk. At the time of its airing, the original Star Trek was broadcast on one of the three lone outlets for national TV broadcasts. The pool of writers whose work made it onto the small screen was quite small then, meaning that (with exceptions, of course) only the best writers

then, meaning that (with exceptions, of course) only the best writers and the best material made the cut. In terms of its writing, Star Trek was very well done, and pushed social and intellectual boundaries. For example, it may interest you to know that Star Trek featured TV's first interracial kiss. (For the record, I am writing this using my 15-inch MacBook Pro, while sitting on an all-leather Flexsteel sofa in the living room of our 3 BR, 2.5 Ba home on our 11-acre property.)

He would have had to do some fast changing then as the autopsy showed his liver and brain were already showing signs of disease and deterioration due to the drinking and the drugs. If that didn't get him, the lifestyle he was on a fast track of perusing would have. Without even knowing it, Trayvon was slowly committing suicide in his attempts to be a drug using, alcohol consuming, gangsta.

that is not a yes or no question tim, No it would not have happened the way it happened if he would have stayed in the car. Say he would have stayed in the car. If Trayvon felt like he was following him, the possible scenario could stay the same. Or Trayvon could have continued on home, made him and his brother their "Lean" drink and life would carry on as usual, only later in that Trayvon's little brother who was 16, has a reaction to this concocted "drank" and dies. So, if you do the what if's, I can what if you down all day. It doesn't change the facts of what happened. Whats done is done. Kids and adults need to fully understand that their actions cause reactions. Don't always expect the outcome you were predicting.

My answer to you TIM is......why did MARTIN have the: I WILL KICK YOUR ASS IN ATTITUDE? I was asked one time what I was doing behind a shopping center. I was trapping feral cats as I was in animal rescue. I answered the question and that was that. The man said he was going to call the police and I TOLD HIM TO PLEASE DO THAT. Little did he know that I knew all the police in that area cuz they knew what I was doing. I NEVER ONCE thought of grabbing the 2X4 I had in my car and hitting this man on the head. Todays youth does have that I WILL KICK YOUR ASS IN ATTITUDE and you KNOW IT....this is what caused MARTINS DEATH....simple as that.....He was not threatened at all. He should have said my name is so and so and my dad's girlfriend lives at such and such address....and that is where I am going....You are invited if you don't believe me. NO ONE WOULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR KILLED.....

Zimmerman never ID'd himself to Martin, Martin had no obligation to answer a total stranger. believe what you want and just stay in your truck till the police get there.

Chris Tutko, director of Neighborhood Watch for the National Sheriffs' Association, said Zimmerman broke some cardinal rules. First, he approached a stranger he suspected of wrongdoing. "If you see something suspicious, you report it, you step aside and you let law enforcement do their job," Tutko said. "This guy went way beyond the call of duty. At the least, he's overzealous." Second, Zimmerman carried a handgun. Police departments and sheriff's offices that train volunteers advise them never to carry weapons though Zimmerman broke no laws by doing so because he has a concealed-weapons permit. "There's no reason to carry a gun," Tutko said. Police said Zimmerman was running an errand in his SUV with his gun when he first spotted Trayvon walking back from 7-Eleven about 7:15 p.m. Zimmerman called police to report Trayvon as

about 7:15 p.m. Zimmerman called police to report Trayvon as suspicious, and although a dispatcher said he didn't need to follow the teen, the two got into a scuffle.

I know my neighborhoods watchman. If you call the police in KC saying "there is a suspicious person", they will be there in about 2 hours or so (way understaffed, not the police officers fault). And, most the bad guys have guns, why shouldn't we (actually one bad guy broke into my house and helped himself to a gun). I understand his position. I feel he never would have said anything, had he any clue where this was going.

It was bound to happen somewhere, sometime. It could be my friend in my neighborhood. I guess it could always be avoided, but no one is perfect, or can read the future of the little bad decision that started the ball rolling on this horrible situation. I still think TM was not headed in lifes right direction for him (though no one could say whether he would have straightened that path out). I do feel GZ is not guilty as charged.

I agree and have no problem with the verdict. I think we all agree that the systems is badly broken and in need of repair especially where help never comes in time. This kinda of stuff happens everyday all across this country.I don't know why I let this one incident bother me, I guess to much court tv might have something to do with it, anyway, I hope nothing like this happens to us or anyone we love.

So what your saying is that a kid beating and bashing someones head into concrete isn't worthy of death? George Zimmerman wasn't the fighting kind of person and was more than likely disoriented during the struggle and didn't know what else to do except get his gun before Trayvon did and ultimately killed him. Also trayvon was armed that night, he had his fists, he had a heavy can of tea which if you have ever dropped one of those on your toe you know how badly it hurts. He could have easily found any weapon or even have used george zimmerman's own gun against him. There is no evidence to support that George Zimmerman intended to kill Trayvon, he just wanted the beatings to stop and he shot him in the chest. Many people survive gun shot wounds to the chest but unfortunately it nicked Trayvon's heart and it caused internal bleeding. Had George Zimmerman known where he shot him at he probably would have tried to save Trayvon but at that point in time he didn't know that the kid was in such bad shape due to the fact Trayvon had been talking during the last 10 minutes. Again i stress, had Trayvon just gone into his dads house rather than going back to the T to confront GZ he would be alive today.

There are some very wrong things with what you posted. He as in George Zimmerman did not "Approach a stranger he suspected of wrongdoing." Trayvon Martin approached him as is said in both George Zimmerman and Rachel Jantels testimony. Trayvon started the confrontation by approaching George. Had he not done that he would be alive today. "if you see something suspicious, you report it," Okay so he did that. "you step aside and you let law enforcement do their job" Okay so where in the evidence does it show George not complying with anything law enforcement told him?
