Fox News contributor, and noted racist ex-cop, Mark Fuhrman, will have a regular spot on the panel segment to offer his expertise in undermining criminal prosecutions with racial epithets. In that respect Fuhrman, who famously extolled the virtues of the <em>\u201cN\u201d<\/em> word, shares common ground with Zimmerman who regards innocent black teenagers walking through his neighborhood as <em>\u201cfucking punks.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, it turns out that that may not have been far-fetched enough. Zimmerman has now released a video (below) he made with his divorce lawyer that positions him for a starring role in the Republican presidential primary. Sensing the Tea Party&#8217;s affection for strident anti-Obama ranting, Zimmerman is now joining the Obama Derangement Society in blaming the President for anything and everything they can think of. If Obama can be blamed for ISIS, cop shootings in Ferguson, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=10410\" target=\"_blank\">even Hurricane Katrina<\/a>, then why not make him responsible for Zimmerman&#8217;s prosecution for murdering an unarmed kid. On that matter Zimmerman said that the President was&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;pitting Americans against each other totally based on race [&#8230;] for him to make incendiary comments as he did, and to direct the Department of Justice to pursue a baseless prosecution he, by far, overstretched, overreached, even broke the law in certain aspects.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Adopting the rhetoric that Obama is <em>&#8220;lawless&#8221;<\/em> puts Zimmerman in the company of folks like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul and Ben Carson, all regarded by the GOP as viable candidates while spewing baseless and irrational charges. For the wingnut constituency, that&#8217;s all it takes to be considered presidential timber. After all, Carson has no more experience than Zimmerman to be the leader of the free world, and he is taken seriously by the Teabaggers. So why not Zimmerman? It&#8217;s just a matter of time, unless Fox scoops him up first.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>News Corpse Presents: The ALL NEW 2nd volume of<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ory_Ra2BsaE?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two years ago News Corpse published a satirical article announcing that Fox News had signed teen murderer George Zimmerman to host a new program called &#8220;Stand Your Ground.&#8221; The article purported to have sources inside Fox who confirmed the news and noted that&#8230; &#8220;The controversial signing is consistent with Fox\u2019s programming philosophy of exploiting the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26511,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"George Zimmerman Will Be The Next Tea Party Republican For President","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[152,1,15,16],"tags":[33,1062],"class_list":["post-26509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-election","category-general","category-humor","category-wankery","tag-fox-news","tag-george-zimmerman"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/..\/Pix\/Trump\/zimm-stand-ground1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4Ijg-6Tz","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":10149,"url":"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=10149","url_meta":{"origin":26509,"position":0},"title":"EXCLUSIVE: Fox News Signs George Zimmerman As Host: &#8220;Stand Your Ground&#8221; Premieres This Fall","author":"Mark NC","date":"7\/15\/2013","format":false,"excerpt":"Now that the jury has delivered a \"not guilty\" verdict for teen stalker\/killer George Zimmerman, Fox News has taken a bold move to extend the ratings bonanza of the trial into the fall television season.
