According to Lawrence O'Donnell. What "hate" is Obama showing that Zimmerman Pere is referring to? This it batshit insane.

1. It's code. They're bigots.

Nothing else needs to be said.

2. Papa Zimmerman didn't make any points with Democrats.

He's feeding the right wing.

3. Well it is his kid

I guess he'll do whatever he thinks it'll take to save him

4. They hate Obama so much it bounces back on them like a mirror.

By being logical, gentle and respect, he is reflecting back to them everything they are and he is not. Sounds weird, but that's my take on their problem.

5. It seemed obvious

I mean if his sons story is true they would know Obama knows the pain they were feeling more than any normal man. Who gets more hate left and right than this president? They'd see how measured Obama's response and comments are. Just like a lot of the responses from police officers here on the DU. People that know life and death decisions aren't fun tend to give measured responses like Obama's or like some of the good responses I've read from police officers here on the DU. People out for politics tend to give responses like johonny

6. What did Papa Zimmerman teach his son, other than to kill and lie?

7. Obama cannot win

He'll be slammed if he speaks out or not. I feel that most reasonable Americans will see Zimmerman et al gambit as a sorry desperate move.

9. I can hear dad on stand - brought my son up with Christian values

and a hefty dose of bigotry.
