Republican strategist Karl Rove on Sunday accused President Barack Obama of tearing the country apart by sympathizing with the parents of slain teen Trayvon Martin.
During a panel discussion on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace asked Rove to respond to the possibility that the Justice Department could pursue civil rights charges after a Florida jurys found George Zimmerman not guilty of murdering Martin.
I hope that this is the end, Rove said. President Obama politicized this at the beginning of it, I believe, unfortunately, by injecting himself into it and saying that if Trayvon Martin that if hed have had a son it would look like Trayvon Martin.
We need a president to bring us together, not rip us apart, he added. And I hope the Justice Department does not respond to the ill-advised recommendation of the NAACP to continue this controversy.

But that's right, KKKarl, the GOPers really don't need any minority votes. They can make it by doubling down on that angry white male. That's what the country needs right now. /sarcasm off.

(7,759 posts)The facts still remain. George Zimmerman murdered an unarmed, black youth, who was walking home with a bag of Skittles.
No amount of spin, hubris, lying, denying can ever change that. George simply got away with murder. PERIOD!!!
