Rush Limbaugh hijacks Trayvon Martin killing protest picture

Rush Limbaugh posted this picture to facebook today (with the copyright notice cut off). Claiming "Thousands Rally Against Iran Deal in Times Square -- This was an anti-Obama-Iran nuke deal rally last night in Times Square. There are a lot of people there, but this picture is the only one I have seen."

The picture attracted 35,276 Likes and 15,910 shares with conservatives gleefully accepting that the picture was what Limbaugh claimed, and wondering why the media wasn't covering this outpouring of opposition to the Iran Nuke Deal. People supposedly protesting the President's Iran deal which will secure peace in the middle east.

In fact with 10 seconds of checking I was able to track the picture back to another protest, a very liberal protest about the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the killing of Trayvon Martin. An image taken by Reuters photographer Keith Bedford. Compare for your self.

…..because by having a story and "picture" out there that so weights the Iran deal as unpopular, even if it's just among his dittos, igives energy and credence and "a picture" to every lousy Repub voting against it.

I say we are the suckers because it makes us and the world so much more less safe, and who knows who's using this picture and its "news report"? It can even be used in Israel by the anti-treaty forces. Can be used all over the Repub rallies in ways we'll never even know about.

He should lose his license over it.

this be allowed to happen? Where is the media on political policy based on lies?

Stop being the coward and stand up to the bullies, your fame and pay checks will not suffer, Olbermann's demise was only temporary and when the Tea Party was still not so obviously violent.
