Zimmerman was a registered democrat, so i guess if he's racist it proves liberals are the true racists.
The individual at the center of the controversial Trayvon Martin shooting is a registered Democrat.
George Michael Zimmerman, born Oct. 5, 1983, registered as a Democrat in Seminole County, Fla., in August 2002, according to state voter registration documents.
It is unclear whether he voted for President Barack Obama in 2008.
Some in the media have sought to blame
Republican politicians and
conservative activists for Martins death.
[Republican politicians] reinforce and validate old stereotypes that associate the poor and welfare as criminal behavior with African-Americans and people of color, calling us lazy, undeserving recipients of public assistance. In the case of Trayvon, those festering stereotypes had lethal consequences, said MSNBC political analyst and Democratic fundraiser Karen Finney.
According to the document, Zimmermans race is officially listed as Hispanic. The son of a white father and Peruvian mother, he has been described as a
white Hispanic in most media reports.
Following the Feb. 26 fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in a Sanford, Fla. gated community, Zimmerman has been the target of widespread outrage.
Zimmerman shot and killed Martin following a physical confrontation, but has yet to be charged with a crime. He says he acted in self-defense, a claim
supported by the Sanford, Fla., Police Department investigating the case.
Protesters and activists led by professional racial justice advocates Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have suggested Martins killing was racially motivated, and have
called for Zimmermans arrest.
We want George Zimmerman in court with handcuffs behind his back, Sharpton said last week.
Martins mother, Sabrina Fulton, has alleged that Zimmerman killed her son
because of the color of his skin.
Craig Sonner, the attorney representing Zimmerman,
has denied such allegations, noting that his client has acted as a mentor to a black single mother and her two children, and had helped them raise money for their all-black church.
For Zimmermans safety, the
Free Beacon has redacted his address from the registration document. The New Black Panther Party has
offered a $10,000 bounty for Zimmermans capture.
