That Alinsky tactic was used against George Zimmerman during a pre-trial media assault dedicated to showing that Mr. Zimmerman was a racist. This recorded conversation between Mr. Zimmerman and a police dispatcher was edited and widely broadcast to delete the words shown below in bold face type:

“Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.

Dispatcher: OK and this guy – is he white, black or Hispanic?

Zimmerman: He looks black.” [Emphasis added.]

Here’s how it was broadcast to make Mr. Zimmerman seem to be a racist:

“Zimmerman: There is a real suspicious guy. Ah, this guy looks like he is up to no good or he is on drugs or something. He looks black.”

In similar fashion, Cliven Bundy’s remarks were made to appear racist by editing them to delete words suggesting that he is not racist. Might the reason have been, as I think it was, to divert attention from the heavy-handed actions of the Bureau of Land Management and Senator Reid’s involvement in the mess?
