way for help, and they may feel it's by procuring firearms or whatever they may be doing that they have some kind of help. i think that's what george was trying to do. >> oh, come on. >> stephanie: oh, my god! >> reaching out to black children. >> stephanie: it's not enough that the kid is dead now you have to smear him based on nothing? >> he may have had marijuana. >> stephanie: i mean, did they call him on any of that? >> no, he's a twit. >> stephanie: he could just say that based on what. he was obviously a gun-running dope fiend and george was trying to help him oh, my god ♪god.

6:12 am
you're on "the stephanie miller show." good morning. >> caller: good morning. two things, first of all when the case first came out there was a dispute as to whether he said f-ing punks or f-ing coons. that's an important think? you think there is a racial element? >> caller: also the prosecution i say he was following. and i would say he's chasing. oh he's running and you can hear him jumping out of his car and he went running. i don't think the prosecution tried to win it myself. >> stephanie: yeah, yeah, i agree with you. i did not think that they did the greatest job. let's go to curtis in hollywood. you're on "the stephanie miller show"." hi curtis. >> caller: hello. >> stephanie: hi. >> caller: i want to make a point here. when the jury sent the letter to
6:13 am
the judge asking about more information about manslaughter, the judge september it--the judge sent it back but the jury didn't have any help with the problems they were having problems with. >> they're not under obligation to do. >> caller: the lawyers could have hammered it out and then that was just suspicious on my end. >> stephanie: it did look like a little move of weakness to ask for the manslaughter after they already obviously went forward with the second-degree. to me didn't it seem like well, we may not be able to make second-degree, how about this? it seemed like a move made out of weakness, to me. again, i've never gotten how this is a weak case. i think that's what the prosecutor, the closing arguments, this is a very
6:14 am
difficult case. you don't say that. this shouldn't be a difficult case. >> the stand your ground law made it a difficult case. >> stephanie: i just did not think it was a strong closing argument. derek in birmingham alabama. >> caller: hi, the point is this, what is going on we had an all white jury, all white women and basically you get how do you think george zimmerman felt if he had five blacks on his jury and maybe one hispanic. his lawyers would have been objecting to this. basically it would have made no difference what the evidence was, baby. they didn't care. if you have one black mother up there, and then i heard that
6:15 am
really call black people porch monkeys. >> stephanie: a lot of people speculated this, and it was written suppose trayvon was a 230-pound black man and zimmerman had been the 17-year-old kid who was walking home. this is america shows that a black boy can be shot by white men, because whit men are terrified by black boys, and it's called playing the race card. if you point that out, it's called playing the race card. trayvon martin was stalked because he was black. trayvon martin is dead because he was black.
6:16 am
and george zimmerman was acquitted because trayvon martin was black. if you deny these things, then you're a liar or an idiot or both. florida's laws extend to all races vigilante killing. this is in salon. >> yes, but trayvon had a big block of concrete that he hit him over the head with. >> stephanie: yes, michelle in louisiana. you're on "the stephanie miller show"." >> caller: hi, i disagree with the gentleman that called that. this trial was a fluke. he told his defense attorney, and he snapped. when they say it's all the
6:17 am
women, all the juries were women, i said heard all of them were white women what good is it going to do me to have a trial, your black trial is dead. if anyone should go after them, attorneys. the prosecutor and the defense picked the jury. why couldn't have been three whites, three blacks, hispanics, asian. not to cut you off but like i say, this man look at george zimmerman's face when he was not guilty. his life is on the line, but
6:18 am
it's not guilty. george zimmerman knew he wasn't going to go to jail. >> stephanie: sorry, we got a hard break. i understand. i had a feeling people might be upset and emotional. but i was speaking about i wonder if this might be another--where they could very well win the civil suit. lose the criminal and win the civil suit. we'll see. 18 minutes after the hour. we come right back to "the stephanie miller show." >> there is a tea party in her pants, and you're invited. 1-800-steph-12 the number.

>> stephanie miller. [ ♪ music ♪ ] >> slacker, 23 minutes after the hour. 1-800-steph-12 the phone number toll-free from anywhere. eric boehlert with great stuff coming up at the top of the next hour. he wrote is fox news still looking for those race riots. that was supposedly their whole story. from the zimmerman trial. nancy grace with an interesting tweet. i still think if zimmerman had taken the stand this outcome would are been different. a lot of people pointed out there were a lot of inconsistencies, and he told outright lies.
6:24 am
i agree with that, which is why i was disappointed. jay in atlanta, you're on "the stephanie miller show." hi jay. >> caller: good morning, good morning. glad you're doing this because you know almost all americans are angry about this, black white, hispanic, this is ridiculous. this remind me that--you ever see the andy griffith show? do you remember andy used to barney fife's bullet out of the gun because he knew barney fife would go berserk. that's what this guy was doing. i'm going to be a hero. this black kid i'm going to kill him. this is absolutely ridiculous. when i hear some people calling in or some of these other shows or making statements like phoney fox news to suggest that this kid was responsible for his death.
6:25 am
you know, what bugs me-- >> stephanie: did you hear geraldo talk about the way he was dressed? >> caller: what did he say. >> stephanie: he was basically saying if you dress like that, i can't remember. >> you're asking for it. >> stephanie: hang on one second. eric boehlert said it. lecturing that he dresses like a thug he gets treated like one. >> caller: this is ridiculous. the kid had nothing but a bottle of tea and skittles in his hand. do you know most teenagers dress in sloppy clothes. it doesn't make him a thug. african-americans live under this what are you doing here unwritten law because we feel uncomfortable, you don't fit what you're supposed to look like here.
6:26 am
>> if he's found in a porn store he should be treated as such. >> stephanie: yes, please treat geraldo as a porn star. what does that really mean. he was acting like a vigilante. that's the fear. this verdict allows anyone with a gun to go and acting like vigilante. why did they test the dead boy's body for drugs and yet failed to test the live man's body for drugs. why did they feel after arriving on the scene the police warned black people not to riot. but not telling zimmerman supporters the same warning. and the fear is there is going
6:27 am
to be a lot more of this. particularly by those who feel there are too many brown people here in the first place. jay had a great tweet. the danger to the verdict is not more riots but more george zimmermans. nicely said. and another tweet, it might be good idea for electronic stores and shoes stores to close up shop. another great tweet. just a reminder that justice john roberts thinks that racism in america is over. joan welcome. >> caller: i can't understand--well, i can understand it, but here is an african-american teenager who was murdered, and then put on trial and found guilty for his own murder. >> stephanie: yes. >> caller: now african-american males cannot stand still for any
6:28 am
length of time. they can't walk fast. zimmerman accused trayvon of walking too slowly. they can't run. they can't make sudden moves. what is it that african-american adults are supposed to tell their young african-american males? they say why didn't trayvon go on home? if white people saw african-americans as human beings they would have seen trayvon martin responding and acting like any teenage boy would. he was going to stand his ground, he had a right to stand his ground. >> stephanie: the reason for those who aren't really attorneys this story could not seem clearer. >> why are you following me. >> stephanie: he stalked a black kid. picked a fight with him, started losing the fight and decided to shoot him. >> caller: that's exactly what happened. now what will come out of this, probably, a so-called discussion
6:29 am
or conversation about race, but my problem these conversations do very little to improve the relationships between white and african-american. the reason why is they only talk about one part of the equation and that is african-americans response to what whites do to african-americans. they never talk about why whites act the way they act towards african-americans. why whites eight african-americans. it has nothing to do with what we wear, how we act. it's the fact that whites stop terrorizing african-americans. >> stephanie: okay, right back on "the stephanie miller show."

6:35 am
manslaughter. >> caller: the problem is there were no witnesses. you know, the only evidence as you said before was really what george zimmerman said and what he did. >> stephanie: that's what we're saying exactly that line i read about. this law if allows you to kill your own witness you're the vigilante, kill your only witness and get away with. >> caller: actually late last night i wrote it's like committing the perfect crime. it's not only perfect because you got away with it. it's perfect because the state sanctioned your crime. >> stephanie: right, right. >> caller: the state said, go ahead, go ahead. florida, it would be one thing if florida fairly applied the the stand your ground laws. and the woman who fired a shot
6:36 am
at her ex-husband, and tried to--because he had beater her beaten in the past, and was threatening her and she was being prosecuted by the same prosecutor, and she was prosecuted to the full extent of the law. when a week before that a white guy who had shot somebody under stand your ground, this guy caught somebody having sex with his wife, and said, well, i thought she was being raped so he shot and killed the guy. he got acquitted because of stand your ground. okay, so you created a law that only applies to--that doesn't apply to black people. >> stephanie: yeah, yeah you're absolutely right. i mean, we were saying that i blame also the prosecution, do you? i fell it was not as strong. that mistakes were made.

6:40 am
they're going through women's purses, and you cannot bring a tampon in the state house because they're afraid they might be used to throw at state legislature. >> you know, i don't thing anybody is going to take their gun and throw it at somebody, but a tampon, they took food away from women who had diabetes and didn't want to collapse. but when they took away the tampons, they had this big bag of tampons and said you come back and claim your property. >> my favorite sign was no tampons, only douches. >> that's funny. >> i hope this inspires women to
6:41 am
start beaming legislature with tampons. i don't think i ever heard in the middle of a legislation that women started raining tampon doom on legislature. >> stephanie: that's right. the shower scene from "carrie." >> i hope someone reaches up under her skirt sand says, here you go. >> oh. >> stephanie: doubly shocked when he's rude. now you have drawn our attention to a column by jacki gingrich kirshman. who said, those republicans are mother [bleep] 37 you bring our attention to this cool klum

6:43 am
that then you're either completely insane, or your dad is a total d-head. >> stephanie: i hope she did read your posts and say o i may be perhaps a little irony sufficient. perhaps i need more irony in my diet. >> i read it first i thought she has to mention her dad at some point. but you know, it's okay that dad ran for president because he was chased out of office because of ethics violations. it wasn't sex. yeah right. and clinton was prosecuted because of a personal a perjury. >> stephanie: right. >> then at another point i thought it was satire. oh she's obviously sticking it to the old man. >> stephanie: right. >> but oh, no, there was none of

that. there was a call for really good candidates to run instead of all of these you know, sex-depraved maniacs, i don't know. >> stephanie: maybe you could point out to her that he was the one calling out president clinton the pervert while he was [bleep] himself, you remember. >> sure, and while on the phone with officer erica which is kinky. >> stephanie: thank you, see you next week. >> while that's going on. >> stephanie: let's go to rodney before we go to a break. >> caller: hello, nice to be able to share with you guys. >> stephanie: thank you. >> caller: i think this is just a travesty, this trial. i watched what the defense put on to carry in a big hunk of

sidewalk in and to say that that was a weapon. >> stephanie: laughable, yes. >> and people start to compare this case to another trial and in that trial there was reasonable doubt. and in his closing it wasn't 84 hits of color color form, and right there that's a big hole in the defense case. in this case we know he was told not to get out of his car. we know that he had a loaded weapon on hip. we know that he followed this man, and we know that he shot him. if he would have hit trayvon martin with his car that would have been manslaughter. and if you were a cop there would have been an

7:08 am
during the three weeks of the trial virtually no activity outside of the courtroom. there was nothing to indicate that any of this, and then you know the local police put out a psa you know, last week suggesting well, it's raise your voice, not your hand. and breitbart and fox took that to say they're preparing for riot. nowhere in that did it suggest that anyone was preparing or riots, and of course they haven't materialized. it's another layer of race baiting that is surrounding the story in the last 17 months. >> stephanie: you pointed us to geraldo collects a paycheck by stomping on trayvon martin's grave by saying if he dresses like a thug he gets treated like aing. >> and ted nugent, who we

actually have to deal with as a media commentator. ted nugent says trayvon martin, a dope smogged racist wannabe. stomping on graves is the job for right wings media. >> stephanie: you know, you make the best point. you say a conservative press remains incapable of dealing with issue that the nation grapples with, especially when it deals with race and there is an african-american sitting in the white house. has the president responded to a single question about the controversy? and they cast him as a central villain. >> if you did think that obama was going to be a central player in this murder case, then you haven't paid any attention to obama derangement syndrome. obama injected himself into the story when 16 months ago he was
7:10 am
asked the direct question at a press conference, and he gave a simple, heartfelt answer. then last week we had this complete phoney controversy about the department of justice sending a community relations unit down to sanford, florida, last year during the tension and turmoil, and this was revealed as some sort of conspiracy that obama sent his henchman in florida to organize, quote anti-zimmerman rallies. what they did was report in realtime and it was completely uncontroversial. they were peace makers. this is an unit of the department of justice that has been in existence since the civil rights act of 1964. they're dispatched to communities that are experiencing tension, and they work with civic leaders religious leaders, the police, to make sure that the protests that happen, happen peacefully. and guess what, it was a
7:11 am
success. because all of those protests in sanford, florida, were peaceful. so obama's justice department helped to over oversee peaceful rallies. >> stephanie: or instigated race riots as rush limbaugh puts it. >> of course there were no race riots in florida and there is was no violence in florida. this is all part of a right wing fantasy about how they view race in america and frankly how they view protesters. >> stephanie: you say in terms of unfiltered racism no one has reached rush limbaugh, latching on the phoney spin, limbaugh accused the president of promoting racial strength so the rest of us could get a taste of slavery. rush limbaugh's race to the bottom. >> yes, this is a theme he has

used for years that obama has a chip on his shoulder. that obama wanted to become president to pay back white america. >> stephanie: right. >> wanted to become president. remember in the earlier years he wanted white people to be unemployed, he wanted white people to be poor. he talks about this unhinged fantasy, which is amazing then you compare him to the obama--the person. you know, completely mild mannered president who is--who frankly seems to be very reluctant to talk about race at all because the two or three times he has done that, people like limbaugh--so they create this fantasy about obama, that he's obsessed with race, and he's this radical and you look at him and it's the harvard law grad constitutional lawyer, and they don't match up. this obsession that limbaugh has
7:13 am
with slavery and obama has particularly intrigued me. >> stephanie: by the way, it's hard to find someone more continue limbaugh. there was a tweet thinking that he's clever about hangers and abortion, and he wonders why he's #creepy man. >> there is this problem of republican men and abortion. there was a pretty good piece in buzzbuzzword with republican women asking republican men to stop it. but this has become--it's very--you know, it's fascinating and frightening to watch in north carolina and texas there is absolutely an anti-abortion crusade going on right now. >> stephanie: by the way eric, in case people missed it. he tweeted now that abortion restriction versus passed you

the anti-women's choice crusade seems to me that hillary clinton would be able to make--would be able to parlay that into a very effective campaign. >> stephanie: by the way look who is right back in the middle of it, presidential candidate rick santorum. who is running for what now? he's back in the middle of the abortion debate, right? >> yes, that comes out on the heels of rick perry who says he might run in 2016. the man who could not win a single delegate is now in 2012 2012 is now back in line for 2016. and rick santorum, who didn't do too much better, just gives a snapshot in terms of the white house perspective. not only for the people but the agenda. >> stephanie: hashtag deep bench. we're scared. eric great stuff as usual. we'll talk to you next week.

about how black americans and now certainly we can put trayvon trayvon in that category how they're systematically victimized by the system. how young black men are shot and killed by police who are then exonerated. the reaction in the black community was strictly how the tables were turned. whether o.j. did it or not, it was the same system that was used against them, and now all of a sudden we have white america crying in the streets. they're not crying in the streets for you know, a young man a day before he's supposed to get married where he's shot and killed, or a 17-year-old kid with a bag of skittles that was shot and killed. but now they're crying in the streets because somebody of means, o.j. used the system against them that they use all of the time. that's equally with the o.j. >> stephanie: it was on the heels of the rodney king trials as well. with any person with a set of

8:37 am
>> caller: hi, i just want to say i heard a lot of people speak about this issue and the truth of the matter is the jury deliberated on the wrong issue. the main issue was what caused the root problem? what caused it? the truth of the matter, yeah george zimmerman probably did have to defend himself so did trayvon. trayvon was a scare kid with a strange man following him. what would you do? i would fight for my life too. the bottom line is that the jury went in, and they only deliberated on what happened in the scuffle. well, what caused the root problem? what could trayvon have done to prevent this whole issue? not go outdoors? that's his civil right. but what they failed to realize is that george zimmerman had several options that he could have done to stop this. he could not not gotten out of
8:38 am
his car. he could have said, i'm the neighborhood watch guy. can i help you? trayvon would have said, i'm going to my dad's house up the street here. where i'm from there is a lot of racism. it's very heavy. we have an active klan recruiting people, putting notes out on your car at the grocery store. >> stephanie: nice. >> caller: where i'm from, i'm very aware of how somebody can be profiled. >> stephanie: yes, absolutely. i know, ed in houston you're on "the stephanie miller show," hi ed. >> caller: hey stephanie. first let me say that a lot of your callers today have presented several points i wanted to make, primarily the one that was made about melissa alexander. this is a lady that shot into her roof.
