DOJ Sets Up Email Tip Line in Zimmerman Case, Right Wing Bloggers Go Batshit
Inexplicably, or perhaps very explicably, right wing blogs have united to defend and lionize Trayvon Martin’s killer George Zimmerman, and today they’re all (and I do mean “all”) freaking out like chihuahuas on crack about a report that the Department of Justice is opening an email tip line: George Zimmerman: DOJ Solicits Help From Civil Rights Leaders in Zimmerman Investigation.
The U.S. Department of Justice on Monday afternoon appealed to civil rights groups and community leaders, nationally and in Sanford, for help investigating whether a federal criminal case might be brought against George Zimmerman for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, one advocate said.
The DOJ has also set up a public email address to take in tips on its civil rights investigation.
That’s all the wingnuts need to set them off into a frenzy of hatred for President Obama and Eric Holder. Actually, to be precise, they’re always in a constant state of low-level frenzy; this just turns up the heat a little more.
At PJ Media, Bryan Preston says the DOJ is going to manufacture evidence so they can destroy the entire concept of self defense, and give Obama “two years of unchecked power.”
The Dumbest Man on the Internet, Dim Jim Hoft, calls it a “Zimmerman snitch line,” and is careful to note that George Zimmerman is a Democrat and voted for Obama. This is always a very important point for Hoft. Nobody knows why.
At Michelle Malkin’s troll agitation site Twitchy.com, they’re inciting the wingnut audience to flood the DOJ’s tip lines with stupid comments, as usual. Winning!
At breitbart.com, a short post by Ben “Friends of Hamas” Shapiro has elicited more than 2000 totally insane, utterly racist comments. Two quick representative examples:
These people won’t be satisfied until there is blood in the streets.

The Jews believed the same thing about Hitler little Johnny. Then he turned them into Jewish Crackers and roasted them to death in ovens.
Obama and Holder would do the same to us if they could get away with it.
Crazy Pamela Geller turns in one of her typical bizarre hateful rants:
Obama and his SS are on the war path. It. is. unbelievable. I am sure they are looking to enact legislation that mirrors the German Weapons Act (gun control, Third Reich) in concert with the lynching of George Zimmerman.
And who is Obama and Eric’s patsy on this? Thomas Perez (Obama’s pick for Labor Secretary). Stunning subversion. As Assistant Attorney General at the Justice Department, Tom Perez has a shameful record of pro-sharia initiatives and craven accommodation to Islamic supremacists at the DoJ.
There’s a lot more, but I can only stand to read so much of this deranged wharrgarbl.
