There have been two dramatic developments in the Trayvon Martin shooting case.  According to ABC News, George Zimmerman\u2019s family doctor saw him the morning after the shooting of Trayvon Martin.  Here\u2019s what George Zimmerman\u2019s doctor found: A broken nose, two black eyes, bruises on his face and lip, two cuts on the back of his head, and a back injury. <\/p>\n<p><a view=\"full\" href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/george-zimmerman-medical-report-sheds-light-injuries-trayvon\/story?id=16353532\" anchor_name=\".T7PRrPX4Jq4\"><img id=\"eZObject_62458\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZimmermanArticleMay162012.jpg\"\/><\/a>The NBC affiliate in Florida is reporting that the medical director who performed the autopsy on Trayvon Martin found only two injuries on his body:  the gunshot wound and broken skin on his knuckles.  Welcome to the Duke lacrosse case all over again.  Everything Zimmerman said about what happened to him turns out to be true after the media trying to cast him along with the civil rights coalitions of this country, the race-baiters, as abject lies. (interruption) What do you mean, not rush to judgment?  It\u2019s been two months.  I\u2019m not speculating.  I\u2019m telling you what the doctor said.  There\u2019s no speculation going on.  The doctor is not speculating.  The doctor did the exam the day after the incident happened.  It\u2019s all been suppressed.  Nobody\u2019s reported it.  That\u2019s the point.  And there wasn\u2019t even any media curiosity about it. <\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019m not a forensic scientist, and I don\u2019t guess on matters like this. I don\u2019t have to guess; the facts are here.  It\u2019s kind of hard not to connect the dots.  Now, all of this information is coming out.  You know why it\u2019s coming out?  Because we\u2019re in the discovery phase of the Zimmerman trial, where each side has to show the other side what evidence they have.  But you really have to wonder here, folks, why none of this came out before in the prosecutor\u2019s charging affidavit.  Can we go back to that?  The charging affidavit, which, remember Dershowitz at Harvard said it was an embarrassment that wouldn\u2019t survive the first inspection by a judge, but it did.  But he said it was pathetic, it was unprofessional. <\/p>\n<p>I happened to report what Dershowitz said and my own affiliate in Jacksonville called the attorney\u2019s office, &#8220;What do you think about what Limbaugh said about your charging document?&#8221;  None of this is in the charging document, or the affidavit.  I thought that the state was obligated, or obliged, anyway, to provide all the relevant details in a case to the judge, but apparently I was mistaken.  But, anyway, as I said, ladies and gentlemen, the news media seem to be ignoring these developments.  I mean they\u2019re out there, touched on a little bit by ABC.  But the news that I just gave you has barely been mentioned on the cable news channels.  I don\u2019t watch it, but I\u2019m told that MSNBC only got around to reporting this about an hour ago, and they ran a banner at the bottom of the screen that said, &#8220;Proof of self-defense?  Trayvon Martin family lawyer calls medical report suspicious.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>So the doctor puts out a report, Zimmerman\u2019s doctor, and now MSNBC is saying he might be a liar.  And they have to because they gotta cover their own rear ends the way they reported this. (interruption) I don\u2019t know if Zimmerman\u2019s doctor is a white Hispanic, Mr. Snerdley.  But you really have to wonder here when the news media began to lose interest in the Trayvon Martin story, \u2019cause you know they did.  They lost interest.  They were going 150 miles an hour on this story, and then all of a sudden they dropped it like a hot potato, and you have to wonder why they did that.  Was it when they found out that George Zimmerman is actually Hispanic and a Democrat to boot?  Was it when Trayvon Martin\u2019s gangsta-like tweets surfaced along with the more recent photos of him with his gold teeth?  Maybe the news media is just afraid of whipping up racial&#8230; no, they do like to whip up racial strife.  But they didn\u2019t even proceed under that rubric.  They just dropped this case like a hot potato.<\/p>\n<p>Another detail that has come out in the local reports.  Zimmerman\u2019s grandfather was black.  That\u2019s exactly right.  That has also surfaced.  I wonder how long all of this stuff has been known by our friends in the Drive-By Media?  George Zimmerman has more black in him than <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=15786\">Elizabeth Warren has Indian<\/a>.  Exactly right.  George Zimmerman\u2019s grandfather was black.  Now, I had never heard that before, but assuming that that\u2019s true, George Zimmerman is a heck of a lot more black than Elizabeth Warren is Indian, exactly as you stated, Mr. Snerdley.  (interruption)  You have a question?  Yeah, he\u2019s a black-white Hispanic. In fact, given our current culture and the president, the way he weighs in on things, I have the perfect way now to describe George Zimmerman.  If all this is true, and just going by the photos that we\u2019ve seen of Zimmerman, I\u2019d almost have to say that if Obama had another son, he would look a hell of a lot like George Zimmerman.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/noel-sheppard\/2012\/05\/11\/cnn-legal-analyst-obamas-grandparents-would-have-looked-lot-george-zi\"><img id=\"eZObject_62460\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZimmermanGrandparents_large.jpg\"\/><\/a>RUSH: A minor, minor correction here.  It was Zimmerman\u2019s mother\u2019s grandfather who was black, which would make it his great-grandfather.  Zimmerman\u2019s great-grandfather was black.  It still makes him more black than Elizabeth Warren is Indian.  You believe we\u2019re talking about people this way?  You believe we have to categorize people this way?  And we are simply reacting.  This is the way the left, this is the way the media, this is the way Obama, the Democrat Party, look at people and categorize them.  It wasn\u2019t me, folks.  The New York Times calls George Zimmerman a white Hispanic. <\/p>\n<p>This is absurd. I mean, all this attention they claim they have to the humanity of people, all of this compassion.  They don\u2019t have the slightest bit of humanity when it comes to people.  They simply look at them as faceless colors of skin, sexual orientation, gender, all of that.  That\u2019s how they see them, victims, minorities.  As far as their humanity, it doesn\u2019t matter.  By the way, here\u2019s another thing.  In addition to everything you\u2019ve heard now from Zimmerman\u2019s doctor about all of his injuries and about Trayvon Martin with bruised knuckles discovered in the autopsy, the FBI, which is part of Eric Holder\u2019s Justice Department, is planning to charge George Zimmerman with a hate crime.  The local prosecutor in Florida claims that Zimmerman profiled Trayvon Martin.  Not only did he profile Trayvon Martin, he stalked Trayvon Martin before killing him, and unlike the charge of second-degree murder, this hate crime, if he\u2019s convicted of it, could get Zimmerman executed. <\/p>\n<p>So apparently noticing a stranger in your neighborhood is profiling and following this stranger to see what he\u2019s up to is stalking.  They both are hate crimes, according to the Obama regime, even though the article mentions in passing that Zimmerman\u2019s mother\u2019s grandfather is black.  Again, I had not heard that detail.  So in all of this now, every aspect of the case that George Zimmerman told, seems to be true.  His doctor with a long list of major injuries incurred by Zimmerman.  Bruised knuckles and the gunshot wound for Trayvon Martin.  And they\u2019re going after Zimmerman now for a hate crime because the local prosecutor used the word &#8220;profiled&#8221; in her charging affidavit, the affidavit that Alan Dershowitz said was inferior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Developments in the Trayvon Martin case, and you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find these developments out there.
