Psst. satire

"I have a dream that one day a man will not be judged by his apparently illegal actions, but by the color of his skin and the content of his curriculum vitae." Satire. But were it not true, it wouldn't be so painfully funny.

Excellent. :)

"...but by the color of his skin and the content of his curriculum vitae..."
Or in Obama's case, just by the color of his skin. The community organizer in chief has no vitae.

If anyone heard Geraldo on Fox this morning, I thought it was satire as he totally covered for 0’s “stupidity” remark. Unbelievable.

Yeah I saw Whoraldo doing what he does best. Playing the role of poor oppressed latino kid who summered in the Hamptons.

If a black officer had confronted Skip Gates trying to jigger into a house, Skip would not have become belligerent. If you ask me, zero is saying that Gates is a racist.

It may be satire but consider that Obama didn’t need to know the facts in the Gates arrest. All he needed to form an opinion was the race of the people involved. Similary, Sotomayor doesn’t need to know the law, or the facts. All she needs to know is the race. White wrong, minorities right. Obama’s administration only needs to know the race involved, and all else becomes clear.

"..... trying to jigger into a house"
That sounds like a racist comment to me.

And isn't that EXACTLY what Gates is accusing the police officer of?

By now the influence of the Reverend Wright on Obummer, the Fascist, should be obvious.
Now all should understand why he attended that church for so many years.
To: newheart
Gates is evidently hard of hearing too. Twice, Officer Crowley told Gates his name. And Gates asked him
again what his name was. He was to busy motor mouthing and ghettoing up the place to bother with listening. What a goober! And to further demonstrate that he was a wise professor, he told Crowley "Ya, I'll speak with your mama outside."
Such brilliance, such a paragon of virtue and wisdom. It is affirmative action at its most illuminating.
In the end, Gates comes off as being an utterly ignorant and loud mouthed braying jackass. And not surprisingly, he is a Friend of Obama.

The church of Wright where they come for that old time racist religion.

"The president said
"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." So Obama is admitting that it was Gates, not the officer, who was the racist and that he was arrested because of his own prejudicial actions.

This whole thing might have been avoided if Mr. Gates had produced some ID....you know, like a birth certificate...;-)

Brilliant Satire by Scott Ott!
This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.)
I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention.
You are welcome to browse the list of truly exceptional articles I pinged to lately. Updated on June 3, 2009. on my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).
Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.
