That’s right. When ‘Bama screws up he invites them over for a beer and a learning moment.
Piece o’ crap, race-baitin’ shill for the Pelosi party.

I have a feeling it will just be Gates and ‘Bama having some suds and if the officer has any class he’ll stiff these two tools and let them stew in their own racist pot.

The cop shouldnt have to lower himself to such antics.

Fang   July 26th, 2009 - 1:43 am

This invite for a ‘beer’ is just a smokescreen. You can bet that the unspoken word to officer Crowley will be to ’stand down and shut up’ about anymore of this. Gates on the other hand will get a sly wink and a pat on the back. I too am tired of all this racial crap on the part of the so called victims or racism. They’ve been milking the system and playing that card for far too long. ENOUGH!!. I’m not sorry for any of you. YOU are your own worst enemy. You’re like spoiled brat child that has been allowed to cry and act out while your parents look the other way. I say it’s TIME for a spankin.

The tale of an anarchistic, narcotic and parasitic narcissistic ruler of a great nation was told not that long ago, in Mein Kampf and Zweites Buch. Conversely by the President of the United States who has also printed two books, Dreams of my Father and The Audacity of Hope. Not by accident, I think; they believe in the same thing kind-of, to reach their ends in black and white. All Americans should be well aware of this fact, I believe.

But the division the President these United States insists on employing, be that of health care, the budget or the simple Gates issue of a helpless black homeowner to lazy to fix his front door after being broken into previously and the white police officer of impeccable credentials, he called stupid, exacerbates the issue of black against white and right against wrong; I call to your attention, Hail Hitler (joke).

Obama’s tactics, tried and true, all failures in history, he wants to repeat on America.
When does a self confessed, crack smoking, cocaine user rule a great nation or this nation?
Regrettably, currently and only in America could this happen. I pray to God, the Jesus type, to save us, before we all kill each other. This is a test, a wake up call, don’t be alarmed, go back to sleep and watch ABC, CBS, NBC, your current level of education.

ACopActingStupidly   July 26th, 2009 - 3:10 am

Sergeant Crowley has been invited to this bogus meeting. And I know some want him to snub the invitation, but he cannot. He must go. Or the left will cry, “See he is a rascist. He wouldn’t come have a beer with the POTUS because he’s black.” Or possibly some other cockmamie accusation.
So the sergeant should go and endure the event.

Obama and his obsessive race bullsh*t is taking us back 60 years.

IMPEACHMENT in 2010 – This is divide and conquer politics folks. It stinks to high heaven.

The elitist arrogance of Professor Gates’ demand for an apology, and his public comment that he will “forgive” the officer only if the apology sounds “sincere” (by Gates’s standards, of courese), is absolutely stunning.

There was no racial profiling here, except in Gates’s mind.

I recommend Crowley not attend this beerfest. He’ll only be used by Obama and Gates for their own “teachable moment.”

Release the tapes, so America can know exactly how Professor Gates actually behaved that day, and why it is Gates who owed the apology and needs his own “teachable moment.”

Enough.

James Butler Hickok III   July 26th, 2009 - 6:42 am

“If a black officer had confronted Skip Gates trying to jigger into a house, Skip would not have become belligerent, and so he would not have been arrested. Putting Sotomayor on the High Court, will put the Cambridge Police Department on notice about being more culturally sensitive in their hiring practices.” The Messiah, 7/24/2009

Here’s another one for all you Kool Aid drinking Messiah Sycophants. Obama’s apology is about as sincere as Jeffrey Dahmer apologizing for being a glutton, and not using proper utensils at dinner. The Messiah’s initial assessment was injudicious at worst, goofy at best. He acknowleged yesterday to having raised this to a Cuban Missle like crisis, and that he could have “Calibrated his words better.” Who the h*ll calibrates their words, other than a bullsh*tter? Kind of like Sotomayor’s “Rhetorical Flourish” when explaing her wise Latina goof. Here’s yesterday’s scenario. 8 A.M.: Rahmbo comes into the Oval Office and says, “Mr. Messiah, the heat is getting too high. The Boston cops are going to hold an afternoon press conference, and express their outrage. You will clearly lose the support of policemen, firemen and postal workers if you stick to your guns. So casually walk out to Dilbert Gibbs daily press conference and act cool and nonchalant. Apologize, and invite your bud Skip, and this racist cop down here to have a beer and make up. The libloons all over the country will praise you, and say how refreshing it is to see a POTUS admit to a mistake, particularly after 8 years of that idiot muthaf*cker Bush. The folks in Boston will be fooled even more than the rest of the country, because of your Harvard connection, and their blind adoration of you as a dedicated socialist. After this pow wow, you can have Apple Martinis and Brie with Skip a few weeks later on Martha’s Vineyard, and excoriate this racist muthaf*cking cop for all it’s worth, and no one will know. What do you think?”
Obama: “Right on, bro.”

Statistics from the DOJ. You’ll find that 52% of homicides are committed by blacks, 46% of robberies are committed by blacks. Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent. Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.

Somebody,
Typical libloon response. Ignore the facts on the ground, and scream racism.
Somebody wrote: “White Folk should get rid of those Darkies!”
Jail will do for the time being, Somebody, but it is very expensive.

Dave, Tn   July 26th, 2009 - 8:11 am

Guess officer Crowley better brush up on his Yo Mama Jokes before he sits down with these two clowns. Release the tapes!!

Steve   July 26th, 2009 - 8:13 am

First off any NBC broadcast is crap. The only white person was the anchor, where is the other side? I don’t think Gates or Obama have come even close to apologizing for their actions. I don’t think we will see one either. The picture of Gates on the porch shows his mouth wide open. What do you think was coming out? I bet the 911 recording will show what an azz Gates is. He stopped suing because a tape and another(black)officer agrees he(Gates) was wrong. I am getting sick of the race card. Myself and others I know judge anyone by their merits and who they hang around with not skin color. The race card is out, now you (Gates) are just a straight up pompous ASS. Crowley wants and deserves an apology. Not beers and BS the word SORRY needs to be said.

Harriest   July 26th, 2009 - 8:16 am

After reading some of these comments I now know why racism still exits in our Country. You White Folks are stupid and have no clue what you are talking about. How many of you Whites have ever in life experience racism?? How many of you know what that feel like? How many of you know that Cambridge Police Department is one of the most racist departments in this Country and this cop teaches profiling classes-how sad. Crowley appears to be an arrogant and full of pride type guy he actually remind me of one of the racist cops that have stopped me in my lifetime oops I forgot he was just doing his job.

Jamal DeMofo   July 26th, 2009 - 8:24 am

Harriest,
Please stop posting in Ebonics. Not everyone be cunversant in dat laynguage.

Monica   July 26th, 2009 - 8:29 am

Crowly, don’t waste your time, Gates is still going to file a lawsuit anyway. Gates has race issues apparently, and saw this as an opportunity to make a few bucks…. They’re probably only going to serve malt liquor anyway. Don’t waste your time with these goons.

Harriest   July 26th, 2009 - 8:30 am

Jamal DeMofo define Ebonics please and then I’ll obliged. Wake up and spell something -you’re gone.

Dave   July 26th, 2009 - 8:31 am

There are no “racial tensions”,this is just another case of a black race hustler who masquerades as a “college professor” attempting to get on stage with his pathetic tricks to generate money and get his face on a TV.

I hope Officer Crowley declines the invite.It’s an opportunity to be used if he does go.He’s a cop who did nothing wrong and his department is backing him up

Hell no,don’t go!

Jamal DeMofo   July 26th, 2009 - 8:49 am

Danny,
He has to go, otherwise all the libloons and blacks will call him a racist. Before arriving however, I suggest he leave his wallet in the hotel safe, have someone stand guard over his car, and practice drinking a few Colt.45 Malt Liquors.

cecil91   July 26th, 2009 - 9:50 am

When there is no real evidence of race you can count on Blacks and some hand-wringing liberals to bring it up anyway. In this case, there is no evidence that the arrest was racially motivated. None whatsoever. Gates’ behavior landed him in jail and it would have been the same no matter the race of the person committing the bad behavior. And as far as Blacks beinbg profiled, arrested, and convicted disproportionatly, why has no one mentioned that Blacks commit disproportionatly more than their fair share of crime? They are 12% of the national population yet commit 50% of all robberies-the last time I checked the FBI uniform crime rates they were also far ahead of the populace in homicide and rape. And this business of profiling has never really been proven. It is fraught with minor details like the racial component of the districts the officers work in, or minor details like suspect descriptions which are way up for Blacks because they commit so much crime. Getting real tired of this sad BS, and particularly because all these victimology students refuse to confront crime rates by race.

doogle   July 26th, 2009 - 9:56 am

The only teaching moment here is…don’t badmouth the cops when they’re there to do their job.

But leave it to the leftwingnut wacko libs to want to turn it into The Oprah Show.

X   July 26th, 2009 - 9:58 am

Gate’s experience make him act that way? So the KKK is invite to the White House for beer too? I’m sure they have the same excuse.

Dave, Tn   July 26th, 2009 - 10:04 am

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 29% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11. That’s the first time his ratings have reached double digits in negative territory.

LOL He’ll be in Bush territory by the end of the year.

CommonSense   July 26th, 2009 - 10:13 am

DON’T DO IT!
Based on this being a monumental example of reverse discrimination; my vote is that the cop should decline the invite.
MLK never met with the Klan and this cop should meet with his racist accusers just because they were caught, are embarassed and are trying
to do damage control because the public sees their racist ways. These racist black guys are worried about the impact to their pocket books.
Stay home and have some beers with your real friends officer. It’ll probably just be a couple of Malt Liquor Forties anyway………YAWN!

doogle   July 26th, 2009 - 10:19 am

Darnit…Dave, TN. You beat me to it!

I’ve been keeping up with the Rasmussen Poll to see which would hit the 10 mark first. Either the O at -10, or unemployment at +10…always thought the O’No would get there first. But, -11, WOW!!! Oh well, If I snooze, I lose…

But, according to a USA Today running chart…The Obyebye is already BELOW George Bush’s numbers. Check it out at:

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/presidential-approval-tracker.htm

Click on the COMPARISON tab, and then choose the presidents you want to compare.

Compare the O with Jaime Carter for a laugh…

Thanks for the number (-11). It made my day!

Sgt. Crowley thinks he’s gonna have a beer with these two. I’d love to see the look on his face when they pass him a crack pipe.

Happiness Where You Can Find It   July 26th, 2009 - 12:35 pm

I’d like to see Crowley show up with a warrant for Obama.

Barry Bonds   July 26th, 2009 - 1:59 pm

http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2007/data/table_43.html Notice the amount of crimes white commit EVERY YEAR! You’d think the jails would reflect the given ratio. I wonder why they dont.

Also, I wonder if Gates’ WHITE WIFE knows that he is a racist. I wonder if his HALF WHITE CHILDREN know that he is a racist.

peter c   July 26th, 2009 - 2:12 pm

I despise Gates,Obama and every Liberal Bl@ck in this county that use Race to get away with their own racism.
One of you asked if any Whites have experienced racism…..Well…I have…I had two jobs taken away from me due to a lack of quota minorities at both jobs….Both were teaching gigs…Both gave me glowing reviews…..Each hired guys who where not even close to me in qualifications.. Both caused problems coming late…not being prepared etc…and both used the threat of racial discrimination if the directors disciplined them…It was a nightmare for the schools and the kids.
I also lost a TA for grad school that was already given to me so they could full their quotas of Bl@cks…Each, as far as I know, had “C” averages…I graduated Magna Cum Laude.
So when Bl@cks and White Libs say there is no racism against White they are lying through their teeth. And gates used racism against the White Cop who was doing his job. For him to go have a beer and talk about Profiling when talking about Gates’ arrest is wrong and it keep assuming that the cop was racial profiling Gates when he was not. I say he should NOT go and have a beer with two Bl@ck racists.

Jamal DeMofo   July 26th, 2009 - 2:18 pm

Barry, you dumb piece of dogsh*t,
The Department of Justice shows that koons commit 80% of violent crimes every year. Again, dumba$$, violent crimes. If you don’t agree with their report, your are dumber than most koons, and that’s no small feat.

Ezekiel33   July 26th, 2009 - 2:52 pm

Crowly needs to 1st test the beer for poison by having Rahm Emanual drink some first (but no backwash please–use a Dixie cup). In the meantime, while Crowly drinks beer & is lectured black liberation theology from Obama & Gates, 97% of blacks and many young white women contiune to drink their black messiah Kool-aid.

Poe Blachmann   July 26th, 2009 - 3:57 pm

Sgt. Crowley is being set up for a lecture by America’s most illustrious pair of lawn jockeys.
If he is a true hero, he’ll put down his beer, stand up and walk out.

Rotney King   July 26th, 2009 - 4:21 pm

Sgt. Crowley will be fine. As long as he hides his valuables, and gets vaccinated for Sickle Cell Anemia.

Let’s keep everyone’s basic roles in mind – President, Professor (Private Citizen), Police Sergeant. After fifty years of exceptional progress in this country; when a uniformed police officer gives you a lawful order, just comply, with due respect.

SissyCT   July 26th, 2009 - 7:28 pm

This is all my opinion… but Obama was foolish to comment on this issue,in the past 6 months I have lost all respect for him. Spending taxpayers money to take his wife on a date. Nice… especially when he’s preaching conserving funds.

The professor, imo, should be appreciative that somebody cared enough to call the police. What is he thinking? This is what we have teaching our children? God help us.

Gates and Obama suffer from the delusion that, if you are a black person, you have the right to disrespect and resist the police. And, if the police object, you can always play the race card.

R.M. Edaps   July 27th, 2009 - 1:31 am

I wouldn’t waste my time and integrity having a beer with either our anti-American president or the “pre-eminent scholar” Yo Mama Gates. Think very hard about this folks: one is the leading “scholar” on race in the most prestigious university in the country; the other is running the USA.

Wake up fast and inform your friends before the USA as we know it is gone forever.

Jack Kennedy   July 27th, 2009 - 3:11 am

heres hoping that Sgt Crowley knows a race ambush when obama sets it up – cuz the rest of the Real Americans sure have a bead on the obama learning ambush.

John_Galt   July 27th, 2009 - 5:06 am

Release the tapes, sue Gates. If it was the other way around, as it was the first day they would have crucified Crowley in the name of their religion of liberalism, by purpetuating racism and thus creating it out of thin air in ordet to cry “see, see, racism, racism…….”.

Jane Doe   July 27th, 2009 - 9:37 am

1) Gates should be happy that Boston’s Finest is protecting the community. I would be thankful that I have watchful neighbors looking after my home and cops that respond to 911 calls.

If Gates didn’t overreact the way he did, like a lunatic, the cops would have understood that he wasn’t a criminal and just trying to get into his house.

2) We have a soldier being held captive by the Taliban, we have a horrible recession, and North Korea is threatening to bomb us, and the MEDIA has to litter our papers with this racial bullcrap?

3) If blacks want equality, then stop acting like cry babies, stop creating rukus where it doesn’t need to be, and stop looking for opportunities to cry ” racism.” Let’s focus on getting our economy back together and making the United States safe for our children, despite our estimed President Obama who doesn’t have a clue.

4) Note to the Media: Start reporting newsworthy news and not trash. It is distracting and detrimental.

ghost of Michael Jackson   July 27th, 2009 - 10:36 am

“Crowley don’t go!”
both Gates and Barry are buttwipes.
besides,you won’t want to drink a 40oz.of Colt 45.
and Barry Bonds,I’m sure Gates’ mudskipping wife knows he’s a racist.

Media Wh0res The Cult of pResident Obummer   July 27th, 2009 - 2:33 pm

After watching Barry throw a baseball I seriously doubt that the limp wrist has ever thrown a baseball,and I seriously doubt he’d ever drink beer unless its for a photo op,Crowley should tell Barry to stick it in his racist a–.

Teeheehee!   July 28th, 2009 - 12:48 am

Obama wins again.
