Today’s Daily Caller<\/a>\u00a0asks the question:<\/p>\n

Has Obama called David and Elaine McClain to make sure they’re holding up ok? They\u2019re the elderly Florida couple<\/a> whose address Spike Lee tweeted because he thought it was George Zimmerman\u2019s. Presumably because he wanted people to go there and discuss things calmly.<\/p>\n

That is the danger of stirring up unrest without bothering to find out what the facts are.<\/p>\n

Fox News<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

An elderly Florida couple have been forced to move into a hotel after their home address was wrongly tweeted as belonging to the man who shot teen Trayvon Martin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tweets were traced back to a man in California and the address was also reportedly retweeted by director Spike Lee<\/a> to his almost 250,000 followers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The couple, aged 70 and 72, have been harassed with hate mail, been hassled by media and had scared neighbors questioning them since the tweet, their son Chip Humble told the Orlando Sentinel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fearful for their safety, and hoping to escape the spotlight, the couple have temporarily moved to a hotel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We need to take a really good look at this event\u00a0and, as the President said, do some serious soul-searching.<\/p>\n
