Snerdley, what are you complaining to me for? What are you demanding I do? He\u2019s asking me, &#8220;If you were the prosecution, what would you put this woman on the stand for?&#8221;  I can\u2019t answer that. The prosecution was incompetent, too.  Snerdley\u2019s telling me, &#8220;Piers Morgan, he hasn\u2019t the slightest idea what she\u2019s saying. He doesn\u2019t have the slightest clue.&#8221; He thinks he does, and he thinks that she\u2019s helping.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, Helping what?  What is the cause here?  The cause is, &#8220;Uh-oh, Zimmerman got away with it! We can\u2019t let him get away with it. We need Zimmerman to still be pursued.&#8221;  She is on these television shows to try to persuade people that Trayvon got beat up, that Trayvon got killed, that there was had to self-defense. She\u2019s on these shows to counter the verdict.  What other reason besides ratings could there be, now?  Well, ladies and gentlemen, it just so happens that the Canada Free Press has a column.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_78879\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sharpton071713PIX.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know who wrote it. It might be an editorial, but somebody\u2019s endeavored to answer this.  The piece is really about Al Sharpton and his posse this weekend and his rallies or protests in hundred of cities.  The main thrust of the column is that Sharpton doesn\u2019t have anything spontaneous here, that he\u2019s having to drum it all up and that he\u2019s having trouble.  The point here: &#8220;The problem for Sharpton and his posse riders is that they claim to speak for all African-Americans&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[But] Sharpton\u00c2\u2019s posse will be out in 100 cities this weekend.  But although the mainstream media\u00c2\u2019s not admitting it, Al\u00c2\u2019s is a posse that is already flagging before it starts.&#8221; There\u2019s no real spontaneity.  He\u2019s having to drum it up, is their point.  It\u2019s not a bunch of people that can\u2019t wait to join the protest march and whatever.  He\u2019s having to inspire it and drum it up since it doesn\u2019t exist.  So the point primarily of the piece is that Sharpton has been &#8212; been there, done that.<\/p>\n<p>But they make the point here.  Here\u2019s pull quote from the story.  &#8220;Instead of inspiring more hatred, Rachel inspired pity.  Rather than the handful of viewers who watch CNN thinking of her as an ignorant bigot, a flaming liar, or worse, folk saw her for what she really was &#8212; CNN exploited.&#8221; This piece claims people are watching her out of sympathy, that they know CNN\u2019s exploiting here.  This is their opinion. <\/p>\n<p>This is my point in the second hour of the program, maybe the first when I did it.  The people that the left claims to really care about, to be looking out for, they\u2019re gonna make sure that nobody gets away with harming them? Those people are actually exploiting African-Americans. They are exploiting Hispanics. They\u2019re exploiting all their so-called constituency groups, rather than really helping them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Why are you asking me?
