Zimmerman's “Black Friend” Exposed As Fraud ... Watch the interview below: ...

Joe Oliver Exposed on Lawrence O'Donnell's Last Call | News One

I think it is possible that Zimmerman might have a black friend, but this guy really does not seem to be a friend as much as a casual acquaintance.
Oh great, another MSNBC hatchet job. Not unlike the way they changed the wording of the dispatch converstation.

It seems pretty obvious to me that Lawrence O'Donnel and Charles Blow have no credibility when it comes to reporting the news. Larry and Blow clearly planned ahead of time to attack and discredit Joe Oliver well in advance of this interview. They double teamed him aggressively, insulting him, interrupting him, calling him names. They were constantly trying to claim Joe said things which he did not say. That was nothing more then a poorly executed hatchet job. In my opinion Joe Oliver, a former CNN Weekend Anchor, has more credibility in his little finger then both of those f*cking goons combined. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. There was nothing they had to say that changed my mind about the case or Joe Oliver's opinions he has shared regarding the case.

In addition the offensive remarks on that "News One for Black America" did nothing to enhance the editorial context of that hatchet job.

Zimmerman is a Democrat-voting Latino.

He's obviously a racist.

It is very likely that is Zimmerman did not shoot Trayvon that he would have stolen and be walking around today with Zimmermans gun just waiting for an opportunity to 'bust a cap' as urban youth so corrupted by hip hopping culture these days like to say.
...and an alien spacecraft could have abducted Zimmerman and implanted a device in his head that made him do what he did.

If you enjoy writing fiction, there are creative writing contests that you can enter. Just don't attempt to pass it off as fact becaue you will be exposed. There is such as thing as ethics.

That all may be true, however Mr. Zimmerman's "black friend" demonstrated far less credibility than either O'Donnel or Blow and no amount of shooting the messenger is going to change that fact.

Default lost in translation?

could zimmerman have said: "are you coming soon?" instead of [MOD CUT/language]

could martin have said(exclaimed) "you SHOT ME!" instead of "you got me"

Honestly, this guy looks/sounds like a drunk to me. Not sure I buy his story. At 78 years old, you are punched and kicked for 4 minutes, almost passing out, and you manage to come out looking unscathed? That's remarkable.

Yes, you many be right here. My guess is if the story does have "holes" in it, the MSM will report them. On this, they will.

re: Zimmerman. Not possible, IMO. If you're seeking an answer to a question, you would talk for them to hear you, not mumble it under your breathe. You would also end your question with an inflection.

re: Martin. It's very possible.

I saw no evidence of that. He is a reputable news anchorman with a good reputation. You can't say that about either of the other fools. One is a self described socialist, in addition to being an actor on comedy and satire shows, the other's main qualifications is as a graphic designer.

I used to watch Morning Joe regularly but vowed I would never again watch it (when LD on) after the way Lawrence O'Donnell treated a man who had come on the show. The man was apparently a pretty much unknown person who worked in the Bush administration. This fact was apparently enough to cause O'Donnell to berate the man unmercifully not letting him get a word in edgewise. I was amazed that the others did not do anything to defend the man who was an invited guest, but I did notice that O'Donnell was not on the show for several weeks after that. I figured that maybe even MSNBC decided he had gone too far.
