Conservatives: Obama Wants A Lynch Mob Against George Zimmerman! Obama's Got A Hoodie, Too!

The Drudge Report, The Gateway Pundit, Twitchy and Michelle Malkin are still trying to smear Trayvon Martin with President Barack Obama in their hindsight. 

     
Matt Drudge, controversial blogger.
The long hot summer, is once again approaching. The Republicans and its conservative allies are working themselves into ulcers with this Trayvon Martin shooting controversy. The controversy is getting national attention. The misinformation campaign from political agitators has gone overboard. Conservatives are trying to blame President Barack Obama for this controversy once again. Why? Because he's selling discounted "hoodies" on his campaign website. Yeah, send the lynch mob of angry Obama supporters. There's no shame in the conservative media when it comes to disrespecting the first Black president. They find some outrage over the most ridiculous things. And yet, they managed to push the narrative once again on pure stereotypes of the Black community.

Again we want to see justice. The Republicans and its conservative allies are trying to ruin the reputation of President Obama, this teenager and his family. We will not allow this. We are Americans outraged over the tragic shooting of Trayvon Martin. I don't want to see any person shot for any reason, no matter the race or political affiliation. I want the information to be proven that George Zimmerman was responsible for an  involuntarily manslaughter of an unarmed teenager.

In this country, with the first Black president, I've expected this to get worse before it gotten better. White conservatives are trying to defame the victim, the shooter and those who support Trayvon Martin's family.

Controversial conservative agitator Andrew Breitbart.
The conservative media plays to the fears of minorities, those in GLBT community, those who practice in Islam and of course the supporters of Barack Obama. It's still a scary world. We have these issues and no one seems to understand it. They want to deny the fact this country is still having troubles trying to adjust to a diverse society.



This is the stuff that Andrew Breitbart would have been relishing his time into. The conservative agitator died this month and thankfully he's not among the living to relish in the smear campaign. The planet is a whole lot better knowing that Andrew Breitbart is no longer among us. I know that's saying alot! But at least I send my condolences to his family. Thank god for society to write this mental rejected off in the fashion he'd wanted. Negative until the bitter end. And that's probably why the LEFT is glad he's gone. A bitter asshole to the end.

Drudge Report Leads With A Story Questioning Obama's Hoodie Sale, And The Obama Campaign Says It's Ridiculous by 

Leading the Drudge report Tuesday afternoon is a story from a Cleveland radio station's website that questions the "coincidence" of the Barack Obama campaign's hooded-sweatshirt sale with the timing of the fury over the killing of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

An Obama campaign official told Business Insider in an email that the sale had absolutely nothing to do with Trayvon Martin, and that the campaign sold hoodies as far back as Obama's original campaign in 2008.
"We did sell some version of a sweatshirt with a hood in 2008," the official said.

Late Tuesday morning, the Obama campaign Twitter handle @Obama2012 tweeted out a message advertising a hoodie sale. "Let everyone know whose team you’re on for 2012 with today’s merchandise steal: the college-style hooded sweatshirt," the tweet read.

Martin, of course, was wearing a hoodie when he was shot and killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman. Fox News' Geraldo Rivera blamed the hoodie for being as much responsible for Martin's death as Zimmerman.

Even before Rivera's comments, many prominent lawmakers and celebrities started wearing hoodies as a rallying cry for Martin. Everyone from six New York State lawmakers to the entire Miami Heat team has used the sweatshirt as a symbol of support following the uproar over the circumstances surrounding Martin's death.

Conservative agitator Michelle Malkin.
So when the Obama campaign tweeted its "merchandise steal," the conspiracy train naturally started up.

Twitchy, the site owned and run by conservative pundit Michelle Malkin, was probably the first, putting up a post not 10 minutes after the Obama campaign's tweet that asked whether the campaign was attempting to capitalize off Martin's death.

"@Obama2012 is pushing hoodies today. Hmmm. You have to wonder about the timing … subtlety is not exactly Obama’s strong suit," the Twitchy post read.

Another conservative website, The Gateway Pundit, wrote that the Obama campaign "just started selling hoodies on their website." Then again, the sale from the regular price would probably suggest that they had probably been around before.

Here's the Romney campaign's zip-up hoodie.

For what it's worth, Obama is not the only presidential candidate selling a hooded sweatshirt. Here, Mitt Romney's campaign advertises the "Believe in America" zip-up hoodie.

Let's hope this becomes a debate topic in the fall.
