HANNITY IS SUCH A FUCKING SCUMBAG


I had read about the New Black Panthers' bounty of $10,000 on George Zimmerman, the man who killed Trayvon Martin, and decided it was just another extremist group trying to get some attention.

Today on his radio show, Sean Hannity tried to blow this up into actual street warfare by claiming that the Panthers want Zimmerman "dead or alive."  I did a little Googling and found a few references to this claim, one from Red State:
Sean: You want a bounty out on Mr. Zimmerman to kill him?


Jay: Yeah – no, not to kill him but to apprehend him.


Sean: They said they wanted him dead or alive.
This story was also reported in Glenda Beck's The Blaze. The Blaze got it from this post at Allvoices which has this as image #5:

and this is the matching text:
The “dead or alive” posters were passed out during a press conference led by Minister Mikhail Muhummud, who called himself the southern regional director for the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense in Jacksonville, Florida.

“Murdered in cold blood,” the flyer says. “Child killer of Trayvon Martin — Wanted dead or alive.”
So, it seems that Hannity is technically correct but he omitted to mention that this was a Florida branch of the NBPP.
