Crowley’s report says he met a white woman (later identified as Whalen) outside the house. She referred to 2 black men. Whalens’ attorney said Whalen never talked to Crowley- never. Either Whalen or Crowley are lying. Unless Crowley actually spoke to the elderly woman who first witnessed the break-in and he just assumed it was Whalen.

Where did Gates get "two big black men" that he uses in his rant?

"And I love that the 911 report said that two big black men were trying to break in with backpacks on. Now that is the worst racial profiling I’ve ever heard of in my life." -- Henry Gates
Well, he made it up of course!

It's in the deck of Race Cards.

I think it's great that Skip said that.

LOL, don't you love the way the pundits and MSM make this racist bigot "whitey" hating affirmative action positioned FOO (Friend Of Obama) is made to seem like a cute little innocent babe by calling him by his "white" sounding nickname?

Yea, but Gates says it was in the 911 call.

What a completely stupidly remark Gates made when he said it was in the 911 call.

Stupidly stupidly stupidly!

“At a news conference Monday, Cambridge City Manager Robert Healy said a panel would convene to examine the incident and how to improve relations between the police and the community. He said the panel wouldn’t conduct an internal investigation of the incident, but would make broader suggestions about police procedure. However, he wouldn’t rule out disciplinary action resulting from the panel’s findings.”

The last sentence really bothers me. There certainly better not be any disciplinary action against Sgt. Crowley.

Yes, and I still can't find where he got "big" from - which seems to be a key part of his "profiling" rant.
Gates: "And I love that the 911 report said that two big black men were trying to break in with backpacks on. Now that is the worst racial profiling I’ve ever heard of in my life. (Laughs.) I’m not exactly a big black man. I thought that was hilarious when I found that out, which was yesterday."
Looks like he got wrong information and ran with it. The initial 911 call from the lady, which caused the cops response, shows absolutely nothing.

Then I suggest you go over to The Huffington Post, with the other airheads and moonbats. That is probably the topic of discussion, since any more than that would cause a braindrain.

"Wendy Murphy, Ms. Whalen's attorney, said her client never described the two males as black nor said they had backpacks. A Cambridge police spokesman had no comment on the apparent discrepancy."

FYI, FRiend... audiotapes released...

I'd still like to hear the audio tape.

The 911 tape is all over the www, but I have yet to see where one can listen to the audio tape recorded by the cops.

Just because a cop says it doesn’t in a prima facie way make it so.

Yes; I would too. At least this is one loose factoid that can be dismissed; the cops did not know the race when they went to the house. So Gates' immediate assumption -- "Why? because I'm a black man?" was pure hubris.

Yea ol’ Skip was just bouncing through life living in his affirmative action FOO (Friend Of Obama) bubble with his entitled hate whitey racism just waiting to lash out at someone white so he could play the victim.

Along comes a white cop trying to protect Skip's home from another possible break in and he tries on his protected status with "calling the police officer a racist, yelling so loudly the officer couldn't conduct an investigation."

Of course little Skippy "called Sgt. Crowley a 'rogue' policeman who acted out of racial bias."

An interesting tidbit from the article:

In a second audiotape, of radio transmissions between Sgt. Crowley and the dispatcher, the officer can be heard speaking in calm, measured tones. At one point, he describes Mr. Gates as uncooperative and tells the dispatcher to "keep the cars coming."

On at least two occasions, a voice is heard in the background. It is unclear whether it belongs to Mr. Gates or what the person is saying. Mr. Gates, a renowned Harvard University professor, didn't return calls for comment.

I think when we hear the tapes (why can a newspaper hear them and not us???) we will hear Skip (I like calling him his pet white name, it makes him seem so nice and innocent, kinda like calling a Markist "Barry") reverting to kind with his "yo mamma" comment and his other racist white hating rants.

FREE THE TAPE!

LOL

I’m not sure why you didn’t get my meaning on that, but after my comment “Don’t you get it” should have been,,the word America...as I don’t usually have trouble with freepers getting my meaning..since I have been on about 10 yrs. It was a general comment not an attack on anyone, just generalization that America is missing something important.

We were discussing on another thread about the Politics of Distraction being used by Obama, which is how I see the incident with Prof Gates. Why else would he have followed the officer out onto the porch calling him a racist, since PO was trying to diffuse situation. A Harvard Professor wanting to be arrested? He had to know he was creating a disturbance intentionally.

Then a question comes up in an O press conference on Healthcare regarding this situation (as if it’s staged) and he talks about race problem in USA, and starts a firestorm by call that the Cambridge Police “acted stupidly”. Do NOT tell me he did not know that would happen.

Not a lot was made of the firing of the Top Secret Service Agent, in fact, FR is about only news thread on it except for maybe a blip or two. Then Hillary is overseas, and so is our top military guy in Israel. Prof Gates slips and says in report “he had been to China”. What a coincidence, with China Delegants arriving here in the next couple of days.

NOW in the next few days all of a sudden a CHINA DELEGATION is meeting at WH...and Obama said “this is new era of cooperation and not confrontation”....and “our new relationship with China will change the face of the world in this millenium”...all paraphrased, so don’t panic if not word for word but meaning correct...it’s all exactly like the election...politics of distraction from what is really going on, and being done right in front of us while we focus on Gates issue.

Now there has been no explanation on any media outlet WHY was the China Delegation here? More borrowing? More changes? Why? Is it about changing the world currency from dollar to another currency?

All the media was concerned with was the Prof Gates race issue. Hillary is going to Africa, and Israel isn’t caving about Iran..that’s all I’ve seen, except for NC terrorist family. Noone asked
Why was the China Delegation at the White Houses?”, but maybe I missed it, Why was the China Delegation here? What did you hear on it?
