Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
Leave it to Rush Limbaugh. He pointed out the hidden bombshell in the Rachel Jeantele interview. As loathsome as Piers Morgan is, he unintentionally unearthed the crux of the case.
First, Jeantele asserted that "cracker" was not racist and could apply to anyone. It apparently carries a connotation of acting like law enforcement. Hence, Taryvon did not feel he was being stalked for racial reasons. In truth, he couldn't see into Zimmerman's vehicle well enough to tell what race Zimmerman was. So on Trayvon's end at least there were no racial aspects to the incident.
Next, Jeantele made a shocking statement, namely that she told Trayvon the man following him was probably a cruising homosexual who might well rape him. She apparently thought that was a logical conclusion that any reasonable person would agree with. She advised him to run away, so that the man wouldn't be able to tell where he was staying. After all, Trayvon's kid brother was there too and it was well known that gays preyed on young boys.
Instead, Trayvon confronted Zimmerman, with the tragic results we are so well aware of. But her revelation makes it almost certain that what took place was an attempted gay bashing, not a racial confrontation.
I didn't hear the entire interview, so I don't know if Morgan asked the most logical question, namely did she tell the prosecutors any of this? If she did, it raises troubling ethical questions. The prosecution's profiling and stalking case was tissue thin to begin with. If they knew that what happened was most likely a gay bashing that ended badly, they knowingly put forth a fraudulent theory of the case and argued facts and conclusions they knew to be untrue. That would be a serious ethical violation, in fact far more serious than the ones they have already been accused of.
The fact that Trayvon might well have been a vicious gay basher instead of an innocent victim makes his liberal media defenders look beyond foolish. This no doubt accounts for the media silence on this aspect of her interview.
Far from being another tragic case of racial violence, it now appears that we have a liberal dilemma, a black youth engaged in gay bashing. Liberals and race hustlers have way too much invested in this case to just drop it, and say "never mind." Traditionally, in idealogical confrontations between blacks and gays in the liberal universe, blacks are ignored. Take gay marriage, an issue that is very unpopular in black society, but their liberal masters couldn't care less. They have been told to move to the back of the bus and shut up on that issue. How this latest wrinkle is handled will be fascinating.
