Yeah, Gibbs is the worst one yet. He is so obnoxious that it gives the word a whole new meaning. I can’t stnad him.

As we can all see for ourselves, Obama was listening to Rev. Wright while attending his 'church' for over twenty years!

“Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!…We [in the U.S.] believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God.”

Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr..

Should be fired for teaching Hate Speech in the class room.

Not really. That’s the nightmare of it all. If anything happens to Zero, it will be blamed on angry racist whites and the Secret Service will be denounced as racists for not preventing it from happening.

And we will be blamed for being racists stirring up hatred for Zero. Anyone who ever criticized him will be blamed.

That’s the deviltry in it all—he gets to race-bait and when HIS race-baiting yields violence the race he baited gets the blame and he skates.

The white-guilt fools that voted for this 7th-grade geek have a lot to answer for but they won’t be held accountable this side of the Last Judgment.

I doubt that Gates is on any of the tapes. There is no reason he would be on a 911 tape, and it is hard to imagine that he is on any other tape (assuming any other tape exists, which seems unlikely).

“I can’t stnad him.”

You haven’t heard. When Gates began acting up—at the start, Crowley turned his microphone on. It’s all on tape. The Cambridge PD is said to be mulling over whether to release these tapes.

I imagine they risk being accused of some kind of defamation or some other injury to Gates if they release the tapes or it might jeopardize future legal action, so I can see why they hesitate. But if the tapes actually record Gates’s venom to any significant degree, then I think they have to release to back up the accuracy of the .pdf police report that we’ve all seen.

Releasing these tapes would make it harder for the race pimps to circle the wagons around Gates, though they won’t give up—they’ll spin whatever is on the tapes. I think their line will be, okay, okay, Gates was a jerk that night, but a white guy would never have been ARRESTED or put in handcuffs. That’s their Maginot Line of defense.

[Is this grade school crap or what?]

My thoughts exactly!!

Btw, this article is posted on Drudge with the headline, “White House: Police Endorsed McCain.”

The way Gibbs responded is almost accusatory. What is he suggesting? That the police are just picking on the poor victim, Obama? That the police are racist? What?

Party before country. That should be the Obama motto.

Translation: Since Police didn’t support Obama’s election, it is perfectly okay for Obama to insult them.

In short...this, like everything else, is about politics, NOT right and wrong. And if a group didn’t support Hussein, they are enemies and must be ignored. This classless thug is a disgrace.

The Cambridge PD is probably also under intense pressure from Harvard U. not to release these tapes. In a college town that pressure matters.

But I hope they release them.

Gibbs is certainly horrible; but for incompetence generally, it is hard to beat Scott McClellan. I admire President Bush a great deal, but I will never be able to forgive him for having McClellan as his press secretary.

Ha, ha, I feel your pain. I’ve had bifocals for a few years now, and I still have to take my glasses off to read a magazine. It just isn’t as good as young eyes.

Oops, better watch what I say. Somebody from the Obama Health Care Committee will be along to interview me to see if I’m worth treating at my advanced age of 57.

Apparently there was a black police officer at the arrest. No mention of that in the MSM.

When TOTUS comes to town the police should pull a “blue Flu” day and leave him to his own detail.

Actually, most of them are pretty awful. Gibbs stands out in the level of arrogance and obnoxiousness he displays. He is truly a hateful man.

He is on Fox now following up Obama’s lame excuse for an apology. Obama really believes, and stated that, he disagreed with those who say that he had business commenting on the Gates incident. Obama says that this is a “teachable” moment. I hope that he learned that the Commander in Chief calling anyone’s actions stupid is totally lacking class or smarts. How embarrassing that our president has to find himself on T.V. apologizing for jumping to a dangerous conclusion.

If you’re worried, I should be terrified! Oh! Wait! I am terrified!

I keep hitting letters on the row above, or the one below. Stuff looks like code before I straighten it out!

Except that Crowley says he supports Obama 110%. I can’t feel too bad for the guy, since he seems to have some whacked out priorities.
