Coulter pegged him as a “jug eared clodhopper.” He constantly proves what a simple minded doofus he is.

Once upon a time real men did not use expressions such as:

“deeply pained”

“deeply hurts the pride”

“hurt our ‘pride’”

That is weak, girly lavender speak, invented by cowardly liberals.

Just call him a despicable racist bastard and be done with it.

Obama was clueless when he made his comment. Bill Cosby thinks Obama blew it. So, why should you be pained because of good police work, CPD?

“zero” is a racist who hates Whites, the Armed Forces and the police, this is no surprise.

MSNBC “The ED Show” is consistantly claiming that Gates was arrested for breaking and entering when the police report clearly states he was arrested for disorderly conduct...do these people do any research at all?

CBS tried to run interference for Uhbamuh after their opening story about the incident. One of the favorite fiberal tactics is using unrelated incidents to cast a bad light on the current issue, which is what they did today in the feature following the opening story. They spoke of various other cases of profiling in departments across the country and spoke specifically to a black Harvard graduate who went through a situation they wish to imply is similar to that of the racist Gates.

They wished to use other incidents to smear a good cop. Not surprising because this is what fiberals do.

Obama can still extricate from this gaffe by making a quick comment along the following lines: “I blew it the other night in discussing Skip Gates’s case. I said I didn’t know the facts and that Skip Gates was a friend of mine so I was biased. I should have shut up right there. *chuckle* I apologize to the Cambridge police for my comments, which were premature at best.”
