  That is exactly what 33% of the hardcore Republicans think.  It's just an other "N".  And just another "N" in the White House and we are going to make that "N" a one term president.    The racist bastards.

Zimmy's getting himself a new judge:

The Fifth District Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach today ruled that second-degree murder suspect George Zimmerman deserves a new judge.

A three-judge panel voted 2-1 that Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester Jr. in Sanford went too far when, among other things, he wrote that Zimmerman is a manipulator.

"... this is admittedly a close call," wrote Judge C. Alan Lawson, but Lester's actions, taken in total, meet the legal standard requiring him to step aside.

SANFORD – George Zimmerman's murder trial in the death of Trayvon Martin was set for June 10 during a hearing in court this morning.

Zimmerman, 29, is charged with second-degree murder for shooting Trayvon, an unarmed 17-year-old, in Sanford Feb. 26, a homicide that set off civil-rights rallies across the country.

This morning, Circuit Judge Debra Nelson set Zimmerman's trial for June 10. Attorneys in the case said they estimate the trial will last three weeks. Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda said he expected jury selection would take longer than the trial itself.

  I sure would like to be on the jury.  See what Zimmerman has to say and then

They're going to have a stand your ground hearing before the trial.   I doubt the case will be dropped on those grounds.

(CNN) -- George Zimmerman, charged in the shooting death of a 17-year-old Florida boy, is suing NBC Universal for using "the oldest form of yellow journalism" by editing an audio tape of his 911 call to make him sound racist, the lawsuit says.

Zimmerman is seeking "damages in excess of the jurisdictional limit" in Seminole County Circuit Court in Florida, where the lawsuit was filed Thursday.

  Sure would like to be on the jury of that murdering SOB.     Also on the jury where he is suing NBC.  Like "0" money.

I think he and his wife are hurting for money.  That's probably why he's suing.

That was totally wrong for NBC to have done that though you have to admit.  Whether he's hurting for money is not the point.  The point is NBC did something unethical and harmful.

Only if it was done on purpose.  I don't think there's anything that supports that it was purposefully done.  If there is evidence to support that it was purposeful, I certainly haven't seen it.

Like I said, old Zimmerman and his wife are screaming for donations for his defense (and hers too against the perjury charge), so the need for money is probably the sole reason he's suing.

I'm thinking NBC did some trick editing to make him sound racist...

Here's how NBC News portrayed the audiotape:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black.

The full tape went like this:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.

Again, was it a slip up in editing, or was it purposeful?

BTW, Zimmerman has also petitioned the court to be able to move freely around Florida unmonitored.  I'd say there's about a snowball's chance in hell of that happening.

I'm not thinking it was a slip up at all.....  I think they need to get the trial going on this one.....determine if he is guilty or not....and move on.

Right now, the trial date is set for June 10, 2013, so we have a bit longer to wait, and that's even if it goes off on schedule.

If it had been Fox News what would your reply have been?  That was obviously not a slip up in editing.
