HOW ABOUT A NATIONAL CONVERSATION ON RACE HOAXES?
July 29, 2009
You could not ask for a more perfect illustration of the thesis of my latest book, "Guilty: Liberal Victims and Their Assault on America," than the black president of the United States attacking a powerless white cop for arresting a black Harvard professor -- in a city with a black mayor and a state with a black governor -- as the professor vacations in Martha's Vineyard.
In modern America, the alleged "victim" is always really the aggressor, and the alleged "aggressor" is always the true victim.
President Barack Obama planted the question during a health care press conference, hoping he could satisfy the Chicago Sun-Times, which has been accusing him of not being black enough. He somehow imagined that the rest of the country might not notice the president of the United States gratuitously attacking a cop in a case of alleged "racial profiling."
Oops.
Suddenly, with the glare of the national spotlight being turned on a small local story, it became clear that there was no "racial profiling" involved -- other than by the black Harvard professor, who lorded his credentials and connections over a white working-class cop.
We wouldn't have known about this case at all if the professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr., hadn't blast e-mailed the universe that he was harassed by racist cops. Gates thought it would be a feather in his cap, not realizing there are huge areas of the country where people don't think it's heroic to browbeat cops checking on you after you break into your own house, such as 99 percent of the country outside of Cambridge.
Contrary to liberals' ardent desire, Sgt. James Crowley was not on tape saying, "I know it's his house, but let's stick it to this uppity negro." (Curiously, the tape of Gates' call demanding to talk to the chief of police to "report" Crowley has been withheld. Some watchdog group has got to demand that tape.)
But what if Crowley hadn't been a model policeman who taught diversity classes and once famously gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a black athlete?
What if the 911 caller had identified the suspected burglars as black, which it turns out she did not?
What if Crowley hadn't been fully supported by other cops at the scene, one Hispanic and one black? (Liberals will say cops stick together, but I say liberals stick together.)
What if, at some point in his life, Crowley had been accused -- falsely or not -- of racism?
His life would be ruined.
Desperate to blame the cop, despite the facts, some liberals have begun making up their own facts. Radio talker Opio Sokoni claimed Crowley told Gates to "shut up" and "I'm going to win, you're going to jail." Even Gates doesn't claim the cop said that.
On MSNBC's "Hardball," Chris Matthews said that Gates did not say, "I'll speak with your mama outside," as stated in the police report.

There is a small group of you here who don't "get" her. No problem
You have a lot of work to do, you're wasting valuable time on this thread.
WTF! What is the matter with you? That is just stupid.
I think you mean Eugene Thompson.
Gates didn’t say ‘your mama’, he said “YO MOMMA”!

Anne has been a good solider for the Conservative cause. She deserves a break for not agreeing with Birthers.
When we dump someone because they disagree on one or two issues, then we risk becoming like the Liberals.
This is America. We are entitled to our own opinions. I happen to think Anne is wrong, but will still read her stuff.
It's getting tiresome feeling sorry for powerful thuggy members of the liberal establishment - especially when they go around acting like they're poor little abused outsiders in a world where it's eternally 1965...
Ann's so right on all of this...
It isn't difficult to see who are the 'racists' in this incident, and it isn't Mrs. Whalen or Sgt. Crowley.
The State Run Media would have had George W. Bush's head on a platter for something as offensive to common decency as was done by the "esteemed" 'public intellectual and Harvard professor', Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and, incredibly the POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama.
The Left has certainly attempted it numerous times for far less, and with less proof of 'mis-calibration'.
What you said.
It said Eugene Robinson.
Anne is right 98% of the time. I am giving her a pass on the B/C issue.
Do not make the perfect the enemy of the good, FRiend. If we’re right about the B/C issue she’ll see sense in time.
No ... trashing those of us who are are stating the Constitutional requirements for the office of the Presidency need to be followed (what Ann has done) is stupid.
Ann Coulter: HOW ABOUT A NATIONAL CONVERSATION ON RACE HOAXES? (Yo mama!)
I like it that way, but maybe caps would be better: YO MAMA!
I guess Ann isn't down with the vernacular...
Sorry Ann - birthers like me have no interest in you anymore. Buh bye.For those who may have missed the source of Frantzie's ire, see THIS thread, from a search of recent threads on FR with Coulter in the title:
My personal philosophy on this is, why go after Obambi for being a KENYAN, when there is so much MORE evidence that he is a MARXIST?
When You're Too Nuts for Ann Coulter...[Certifigate: Free Republic mocked, of course]
How insane are the birthers?Ann Coulter thinks they're a bunch of cranks and said so on Fox News.
-- snip --
And naturally, the Freepers are losing their minds over Coulter's apostasy.
"Coulter has gone over to the dark side...
It's sort of like going after Al Capone for income tax evasion -- when he was a MURDERER.
On the OTHER hand, that DID work for Elliot Ness. :o)
What “it” said Eugene Robinson?
Show me a link, or describe exactly where you saw it.
Thanks
Well, thanks for that post RonDog, I don’t have the slightest clue what that has to do with the referenced Coulter article though....
The common denominator is...ANN!
Sorry, Ann.
As far as I am concerned you have jumped the shark. You are nothing more than an opportunist and fair weather “patriot”.
Go stuff it!
