Suppose a cop didn't arrest a guy who was ranting and raving -- in his own home -- and, an hour later, the hothead assaults someone. Policeman: I was as surprised as anyone that he shot his girlfriend! Every liberal in the country would demand the cop's head.

And by the way, try screaming at a judge that he's a racist and see what happens. Why should police officers deserve less protection than judges? They're in more danger.

The disorderly conduct charge was not dropped because it wasn't a good arrest. It was dropped, according to Gates' own lawyer, because of Gates' connections.

I don’t suppose anyone remembers a horrid little book called “The Arrogant History of White Ben.” Written by Clemence Dane in the 1930’s.
The name “Crowley” just jogged my memory. “White Ben” was about a scarecrow that came to life in England and became the focus of national adulation...and he was, of course, phobic against crows; but when he spoke against crows, people read it as a metaphor for any group they hated.
Ben became a populist/fascistic leader and inspired purges against anyone he classified as “crow,” having realized that his power lay in addressing the hatreds hidden in the hearts of his followers.
There’s almost nothing on the web about it, here’s a snip from a Google book selection:

“White Ben, the scarecrow, used by others for their own ends, but soon charismatic enough to spellbind them for his own...sets off to kill the crows [and] gradually, he is encouraged to see crows as metaphors for enemies at home and abroad. He discovers the power he has for haranguing the poor...Ben himself, we are told, is ‘a lunatic who had dived into the deeps of unreason to bring us hope,’ a linking of fascism with unreason which is widely repeated in the writings of the thirties and forties, as writers strove to cling to the idea that reason, rationality, the bedrock of humanism, could still be an article of faith. The climax of the novel comes as Ben addresses the mob...parliament is dissolved, Ben’s government takes over, and concentration cages are set up...” — (from “Political and social issues in British women’s fiction, 1928-1968” by Elizabeth Maslen

‘A lunatic who had dived into the deeps of unreason to bring us hope’ — like Barack 0bama, another enigma without scarcely more background than a scarecrow, and a tellingly reflexive phobia for police.

Got to re-read that one!

Well accusations of racism are incitement to violence, Maxine Waters is evidence for that. That is all the left has in its arsenal, the race card, everthing else has failed.

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.

Again.... BRAVO ANN COULTER!

Hate Crime Hoaxes

Claremont Hate Crime Called Hoax
LA Times (FR thread) | March 17. 2004 | Joy Buchanan, Kristina Sauerwein and Stuart Silverstein

A week after a reported campus hate crime drew national attention, sparked protests and shut down the prestigious Claremont Colleges, police on Wednesday called the incident a hoax staged by a professor who slashed tires, shattered windows and spray-painted racist graffiti on her own car.

Claremont McKenna College psychology professor Kerri Dunn, who had told police that her car was vandalized as she spoke at a March 9 forum on racism, was identified by two eyewitnesses as the person who damaged the auto, authorities said Wednesday.

Professor Kerri Dunn vandalized her own car and then led "Stop The Hate" rallies on campus.

I still contend the only reason Obama called the press conference was to get Sgt. Crowley fired. David Axelrod called Lynn Sweet and suggested she ask about this incident. From all accounts the press conference was a stinker. I don't think he was interested in talking about health care at all. Professor Gates probably called his old friend and said he wanted this cop fired. Obama knew he couldn't do it directly, so he used the press conference as an excuse to accuse the Cambridge police of acting stupidly.

Be sure to watch the video of Ann on Redeye last week!

Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.

Almost every thing about Obama is a lie but one person says the birth certificate exists and people believe her. I guess he didn't listen to Rev Wright either. /sarcasm

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?
