Fox News host agrees that Black Panthers somehow caused Zimmerman trial

Fox News guest J. Christian Adams, a right-wing blogger and author who previously worked for the Department of Justice and contributes to Pajamas Media and Breitbart, claimed on Monday morning that the New Black Panthers, and not the body of a teen killed by a gunshot wound, were secretly the real “spark” that kicked off George Zimmerman’s murder trial.

Adams told Congress in April (PDF) that the Obama administration relied upon racial biases when considering a voter intimidation charge against a member of the New Black Panthers who was filmed standing outside a Philadelphia polling place in 2008. Nothing ever came of the incident — even top Republicans began mocking the notion of Obama protecting the New Black Panthers — but Fox News keeps trying to revive it for some reason.

Appearing Monday, Adams continued pushing that narrative, telling the hosts of “Fox & Friends” that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has “teamed up with the New Black Panthers” to lobby for civil rights charges against Zimmerman. Adams added that he’s certain the Zimmerman murder trial would not have taken place if it weren’t for the little known, fringe political group.

“I have a piece at Breitbart today that shows how the New Black Panthers were the spark behind the whole Zimmerman investigation,” he insisted. Amazingly, Fox News host Steve Doocy agreed, seeming riveted by the claim and pressing for more information. “Mr. Adams, why does it seem the Department of Justice is taking their marching orders from the New Black Panther Party?” Doocy asked.

2. Whah?!

Gee, that's a bunch of scared white men.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

3. I hear the New Black Panthers are also teaming up with al Qaeda,...

They're gonna breed a new titanium toothed pit bull that will come and eat your guns.

4. That's the general meme they've been running with the past few weeks:

"The *ONLY* reason this ever went to trial was to placate the black community..."

5. And here I thought it went to trial because Zimmerman killed an unarmed young man

after disobeying the 911 operator who told him to remain where he was until the police arrived.

6. No wait. It was ACORN!

The now defunct and no longer existing crusader for the damned. Yeah, the whole trial was some notorious black folks fault. Had nothing to do with, you know, THE LAW!

7. I'd like to see how long he would last on a room with a New black Panther,

much less an old Black Panther.

8. Wow, logic like that

puts Mr. Spock and Sheldon Cooper to shame.

9. Boy they're really doubling...err...tripling down on the nutjobbery

They're dinosaurs and they know it. What you're seeing is just a final titanic effort to solidify their gains before they're irrelevant.

11. The New Black Panthers can hold their annual convention in a phone booth.

Fittingly Fox and Friends finds them fascinating.

12. Fox demonizes anyone and anything with the word "black" in it

It's their M.O.
