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.

Then why bother posting that fact on this thread? You do have some interest, or you wouldn't have posted a reply.
When the truth is, "he" is a 20% traitor.. that agrees you with when it is convient..
I think it’s hilarious that the poor white cop gets NO credit for having voted for Barry Soetoro. I wonder how he feels about that now?
You again? GTFOH.
Take a hike yourself dork.
You are a troll.
The forum is infested with them people. I haven’t seen this person around, ever. These wackos suddenly appear with the righteous indignation of a NOW hag being deprived of her abortion/birth control and only comment on threads for purpose of agitition.
Same goes for you other poor trolls who are upset about their pet peeve not being embraced by Ann.
Take a hike troll.
First he needs a band, then he needs a wagon.... ;)
I thought Synchro was doing a reverse play on the recent flap about “Jim Thompson,” founder of Free Republic, who was mis-named in any number of articles.
I.e., Jim Robinson = Jim Thompson
Eugene Robinson = Eugene Thompson
Please check the date I joined. Please check my posting history.
Personally, I am disgusted with Ann. She call those who are defending the Constitution “CRANKS”! And...In the same breath she use the KKK as an example of their nuttiness.
Sorry! But somethings just can't be undone. Ann will never be the same for me.
She could have laid out her argument ( with which I disagree) without the “crank” and comparisons to the KKK insults.
Okay, you’re not a troll or a crank. I happen to NOT agree with Ann on that either, but I’m just less sensitive about it than you are. Good luck with your personal crusade against her in the future.
Yeah, I figured that. Thanks.
Go play in traffic, intolerant idiot.
bttt
No she didn't.
She used the example to illustrate how if the media want to they can make a very small amount of people with a certain viewpoint look like a majority.
She in no way made any statement that could be parsed to mean that she sees the bithers to be the same as the KKK.
