Cornel West’s rampage against President Obama continues. For the last eight years, West has attacked Obama viciously through the media and his own social media outlets.


But his criticism is often so outrageous that the context of his arguments are often diluted due to the visceral hate.


In the wake of Obama’s speech regarding Trayvon Martin, West spoke out against President Obama, again. This time, he compared Obama to George Zimmerman.

“I think we have to acknowledge that President Obama has very little moral authority at this point, because we know anybody who tries to rationalize the killing of innocent peoples, a criminal — George Zimmerman is a criminal — but President Obama is a global George Zimmerman.”–West
