Yet *more* on the Crowley/Gates thing.


If you operate your own website and are following the Crowley/Gates brouhaha, you’ve probably noticed an abrupt switch in your comments section; one side went from being pro-Gates (reasonable enough) to virulently anti-Crowley within the course of several hours. It’s kind of fascinating to watch that happen; presumably the tapes and testimony coming available is acting as an irritant.

Or possibly it was this video (via Little Miss Attila):

Embedded video from CNN Video

Which apparently is acting as actual ground glass on the soul for some. It’s funny, really: I was perfectly happy to entertain the position that this may have been something else besides the attempt of a guy to milk his fifteen minutes of fame into something career-enhancing (said he, with malice aforethought); but the longer this goes on, the harder it gets to maintain that…

Thank you

It was getting weird. Is it just me or are libs just getting angrier and angrier.

I was at a recent teacher training and a colleague was so beside herself she kept spitting out the most bizarre non sequitors about Rush, the Christian Right, union bashers etc. I’ve had other similar experiences with lefty friends and family.

And here I am, my party in a virtually helpless minority and, all things considered, I’m lovin’ life!

 
 

Wow!

She won't vote for Obama again.

SG_Lominac (Diary) Tuesday, July 28th at 9:30AM EST (link)

The policewoman showed a lot of moral courage in repudiating a President that 95% of her race voted for (including her) in support of the white cop not to mention calling out the Governor, who I believe would be in her chain of command.

Focus Groups in Action

erp Tuesday, July 28th at 9:35AM EST (link)

The focus group results must be in and the consensus must be with the police, so now the distort and demonize attack plan goes into effect.

Note that many of the articles continue misstate the actual facts that are easily available on video or audio tape and backed up by witnesses. Note too that none of those who think Gates was the object of racial profiling were witnesses to the facts.

For instance:

Lie: A white woman called 911 and reported that two black men were trying to break in to a home.

Truth: An Hispanic woman made the 911 call and made no mention of the race or ethnicity of two men.

As for trolling comments on blogs, lucky for the hate mongers, so many of them are “between jobs” so they have plenty of time to carry out orders from Rahm/Obama et al.

An ugly scene on Thursday?

scarchin Tuesday, July 28th at 10:43AM EST (link)

At first I assumed that the beer stunt would be a PR win for Obama – but now I’m not so sure.

Is Gates such an obnoxious whackjob that he won’t back down at all?

Crowley strikes me as an man of integrity who is cool under pressure. His support seems to be growing exponentially.

Is it possible that he refuses to admit to something that he didn’t do and the whole thing collapses in full view of the media?

Juicy…

you can figure out in advance what the responses will be

bk (Diary) Tuesday, July 28th at 11:33AM EST (link)

Obama: “Everything was great. We had a wonderful discussion and a relaxed time.”

Crowley: “I enjoyed the visit and appreciate President Obama’s hospitality.”

Gates: “I trust that Sgt Crowley now has a better appreciation of what racial tolerance really is and will be more sensitive in the future.”

I think you nailed it!

On the positive side, maybe every union will turn on Obama to get some more dough.

No variation is allowed or even thinkable in the liberal standard line. This is both totally perplexing and as Moe astutely points out, maddening to the chronically ill left. Dissent or for that matter, divergence. is not supposed to happen, the indelible mark of people whose sanity and willingness to observe a minimum civility always hangs by a slim, frazzled thread.
Forget liberal blacks on this, much of the anger is from whites who demand that their fellow white Americans be branded as racists, just another way of expressing their hatred. They’ve been deprived of their fun but there is always next time.

Is it my imagination or did the CNN reporter seem a little disconcerted with the policewoman’s response about the president? Almost a little flinch. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but I think he would have liked Not to have had that on national t.v. The trouble is the MSM is still in the pocket of Obama.

I’m someone who complains about media bias all the time.

I thought that the reporter was genuinely moved by what he was seeing/experiencing and was temporarily at a loss for words.

Giving Crowley a chance to nod was, in my view, a nice touch.

I loved the hug, the reporter wasn't their first priority

mom2oneson (Diary) Tuesday, July 28th at 11:46AM EST (link)

I loved the I hope so? or something the first man said.
I wish they and we wouldn’t bring up their race though. How about just making the point that they work with him and know him.

It had to be said

scarchin Tuesday, July 28th at 1:27PM EST (link)

I credit the reporter for addressing the elephant in the room. This incident is about race.

 
 

Has CNN fired that reporter yet?

He seems too open-minded to be employed there.

I guess we can add another average American

Warrior (Diary) Tuesday, July 28th at 3:48PM EST (link)

to the growing list of everyday folks who Obama has dissed. Hmmm, let’s see:
Sgt Crowley, Joe the plumber, the reporter on the FL TV station who asked about Obama’s socialism, Obama’s grandmother, Gerald Walpin, Fred Wiederhold, and the list goes on. Gee, I hope I don’t ever inadvertently cross paths with an Obama favorite.

And what if this had just been your average Joe policeman? What if he had not been the training expert against racial profiling? What if he hadn’t been a long time member of the force? What if he hadn’t developed many friendships (black or white) in the department? Worse yet, what if he had had some innocent, but non-racial, personal beef with a black officer? The guy would have been hung out to dry with no recourse. Remember Richard Jewel, RIP.

And yeah, the reporter was way surprised that Sgt Crowley expressed genuine emotion for the policewoman who stood up for him. He is much better at body language than the CNN guy (“nod your head if…”) who then asked a redundant and stupid question. (Loy Dobbs, call your office.)

And as for Sgt Cowley’s friend and collegue, the black policewoman —- GOOD ON HER. It gives me hope for “post-racial” race relations yet…
