Dan said, “The point is that the NEA is a government agency that is not supposed to be involved in political advocacy. They are breaking laws.”

Exactly, Dan. That’s why I quoted part of NEA’s charter. Not looking like much of an independent federal agency to me these days. How ‘bout you ;-)

See, that’s the big problem here, REP. Nobody on the Left cares what the issues are. The issues aren’t even the point. Are you with the ObamaMessiah, or are you a racist? See how it all works now ;-)

A minor correction: Mr. Mackey’s oped was published in the Wall Street Journal, not the WaPo. Not even sure WaPo would publish it, given their drool cup-worthy adoration of the ObamaMessiah. Sign O’ The Times ;-)

TWIMC, I’m just reporting the facts of a breaking news story. I have editorial guidelines to follow at DJ. If this were an opinion piece, I’d be ripping some new ones too. That I leave up to all you fine people :)

supermop, ya it’s a mess. That’s why I spent so much time on this with Mr. LeBaron. He’s doing all this out of pocket. You can bitch, but that don’t fix nuthin’. How about we citizens squeeze our legislators for a change, instead of it always being the other way around? Starts with citizen-pressured referendums, laws and reforms. The Big Brooms, see?

Here are links to all three parts of the Big Hollywood interview with Mr. Lebaron:

Guys, you misunderstand. I’m AGAINST health care for all as it is written in HR 3200. That bill is crazy! Government instructors coming into your house to tell you how to raise your kids? Ya, as if!

I say we fix what’s wrong instead of killing the patient to cure a headache. I am NOT for OBamaCare as written. No way, Jose! We on the same page now :)

Items among those not being closely examined include systemic abusers, i.e. the Rozita Swintons of healthcare, millions of illegal aliens to whom HR 3200 would provide full coverage, and the medical malpractice lawsuit lotteries. You can read the rest at Digital Journal.

How I wished I'd never had to deal with the esteemed Harvard Black Studies Professor Skippy Gates again. But I must. Like his original wolf-cry of racism against Sgt. James F. Crowley of the Cambridge Police Department, which we know today was a total racial fraud, I now tend to have my doubts about anything the Good Professor Skippy says. Especially when he couches such mortal threat claims with the deranged fantasy of being arrested in the White House.

That sound bizarre to you? If Dr. Gates is lying about death and bomb threats as he lied about Sgt. James Crowley, it is but for one reason: to replay his "Black Man in America" victimhood scheme, and even throw down the race card again so he can transform himself from victimizer to victim. Who else would be emailing and threatening him but the Big Bad Whitey Wolves?

This is not an uncommon practice among left-wing racial grievance-mongers. One such individual attracting a lot of blogger attention now is Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Mr. Potok has been screaming for months of the rising racially-motivated threats against President Obama since last year, most recently and famously on ABC's piece, "White Hate Groups Thrive," in which Mr. Potok is also trying to paint town hall protesters as racist extremists as well. Yet a common theme that runs throughout all those Potok interviews since last year is the statement, "the President's daily threat matrix has yet to rise." Why not, if the threat is rising as exponentially as Mr. Potok claims?

Where's the evidence? The Sweetness & Light and Newsbusters blogs would like to know. In fact, they're doing more than that. They're tearing Mr. Potok's claims apart piece by piece. As to Dr. Gates' claims, bomb threats should be big news! No evacuations? No bomb-sniffing dogs and SWAT teams as his house? I mean Harvard's house? Can't find any active investigations on threats to Dr. Gates anywhere. Why not? All he talked about to the press was one single email that read, "You're a racist. You should die." Nobody has even seen that! Yet even "you should die" is a very long way from, "I'm gonna kill ya, Skippy!"

There's a big difference between telling people to go kill themselves, or that they SHOULD die, and promises of murder. Hell, I've gotten worse than that at DJ and Big Hollywood! Where's The Beef? If Dr.Gates is going to claim victimhood again, I want to see the evidence. He should be proud to put it on public display to prove his case. Right? I would be. Show us the emails! The letters! Post them on the web. Let us see date codes as to when they were received. HuffPo and KOS would post them in a heartbeat!

But nothing on the FBI or DHS websites about mortal threats to Dr. Gates' life. Nothing in the Cambridge Police Department logs for August, either. Checked 'em all. How about a redacted police report at least? If I seem harsh toward the Good Professor Skippy Gates, it is because he has earned that harshness. No journalists worth their salt would take the word of a source that burned them. Did not Dr. Gates burn all of us with his hoax cry of racial wolf? Why should I believe him now? I want to see proof from Harvard PD, the FBI, DHS, or CPD itself. Until I do, I have no reason to believe a defaming liar and professional victim, any more than I would a precocious child who insists on crying wolf where none can be found.

Like Tawana Brawley and Crystal Mangum, for example. Hmm. Curious. Why isn't anyone else asking these tough questions? Who in the Vein Stream Media has really investigated even one of his wild claims? Zzz...wake us up when the interview's over, Doc. Good Night and Good Luck! I think we'll all need it.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Many of you have already expressed to me that it's long past time to drop this subject and for all of us to move on. You could not be more wrong. This fight isn't over with a couple of beers and presidential equivocations. It's just beginning. And it could not be more personal. Think about it from my perspective, people. Had Sgt. James Crowley been just a regular Officer Joe on the beat, and not been able to provide the damning refutation of Dr. Gates' false shrieks of racism as he has, we Cantabrigians might this very moment be looking at Racial Arsonist-in-Chief Al Sharpton trying to burn down our city for race-mongering fun and profit.

Sorry, Big Al. Better luck next time! Point being, Big Al waits in the wings with gas can and matches in hand for the Next Big Whitey Thing to torch to the skies. He always does. Been watching him my whole adult life! Like a vulture Big Al and other black Lefty racial pimps, grievance-mongers and extortionists like Dr. Gates wait to spark or fuel racial infernos. Like the Joker. Only they burn people instead of money!

That's the real problem here! Don't you GET it? What if it was YOUR hometown Big Al was handing out the gas cans and matches to torch into riotous mayhem and scorched oblivion with Joker-like glee? The fires of the socially corrosive, inflammatory, all-too-profitable and politically powerful Hate Whitey cottage industry in this country burn just as strong as they ever did when this whole "unfortunate incident" began.

And racemongers like Sharpton and Gates stand always at the ready to fuel even the least smoldering embers of racial discord into Towering Inferno proportions, just as Dr. Gates tried and failed to do with Officer Crowley in Cambridge. The next racially-targeted innocent white police officer, his city and his peaceful neighborhoods might not be so lucky.

If we are to ever achieve racial harmony in this country, the black Lefty racial grievance-mongering riot-inciting industry MUST be put out of business once and for all. Let the law deal with crimes of race, not the racists themselves. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

On With The Black Panther Racial Harmony Beer Blast Hoedown! Crackers Invited! I mean included ;-)

FUN FACT: Did the mere prospect of Gas Can Al Sharpton's promised arrival on the scene in Cambridge compel the Middlesex District Attorney and the Cambridge and Harvard Police departments to drop all charges against Dr. Gates? Is that the pure power of the racial discord industry or what? Food for thought.

And now, The Rest Of The Story.

It's all about racial harmony and justice. Or lack thereof. In wrapping this whole sordid episode of the racemongering Lefty Harvard Black Studies professor Skippy Gates, who screamed to the skies that one of the top law enforcement experts on racial profiling in all of Massachusetts was engaging in the worst kind of racism, Obama displayed for all the world to see that his genius for evasion and equivocation in matters of race has absolutely no peer:

President Barack Obama is hailing his meeting with professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and policeman James Crowley as a "friendly, thoughtful conversation." In a statement after the three men and Vice President Joe Biden chatted over beers, Obama said he learned that Gates and Crowley had already spent some time talking with each other. He called that "a testament to them."

They also spent some time talking at Dr. Gates house too, Mr. President. Now THAT was a testament! As to that "friendly, thoughtful conversation" between Gates and Crowley on Ware Street in Cambridge, you'd have to ask Officer Crowley. But do you really have to? Yet even more, from our esteemed Enabler-in-Chief:

Said Obama: "I have always believed that what brings us together is stronger than what pulls us apart. I am confident that has happened here tonight, and I am hopeful that all of us are able to draw this positive lesson from this episode."

Not that anything in the way of racial harmony is being pulled apart by the racial gas can politics and cries of Whitey Wolf that are not only par for the course for race-baiters like Gates and Sharpton, but are their bread and butter. Or giving the three Black Panther poll watcher thugs Get-Out-Of-Terrorizing-Voters-Free cards even with default convictions in hand. Nah. I feel much more racially harmonious and at peace as an American citizen who just happens to be born white. Don't you?

Obama, Gates and Crowley were at the center of a national uproar over racial profiling.

I would correct AP on that last statement by clarifying that it was in fact Dr. Gates who churned this racial Perfect Storm into Category 5 fury, and that in fact Officer Crowley was merely its battered Andrea Gail. But what's the point? When it comes to Obama, the press may as well be Ray Charles! Bats see better!

So, by sitting down racism victim Officer James Crowley and professional racial victimizer Dr. Henry Skippy Gates, and putting them on equal footings of respectability over a beer in the name of 'racial harmony,' Dr. Gates, who started this nationwide media and racial inferno with false cries of racism, and President Obama, who exacerbated the situation with his "acting stupidly" comment, both walk away from their crimes as free as the Black Panther poll watcher thugs just walked away from their egregious crimes of racially terrorizing white Philly voters, with the legal aid of none other than the Number Three at Justice, Associate Attorney General Thomas J. Perelli. And Guess Who Else. Enabler-in-Chief ring any bells?

Of course, the Mainstream Media is totally on the Obamamessiah Racial Harmony Bandwagon, describing in most uplifting and lofty terms the beer-cooled "soothing of this race row" which the London Evening Standard called "The Audacity of Hops." Do you now understand why I utterly detest the sickeningly biased and equivocating left-wing liberal Obamamessiah press? If not, here's even more reason:

But when it came it was just four men, the President and Vice-President of the United States, a slightly-built black professor and a steely-eyed Massachusetts cop, sitting around in the shadow of the White House on a warm summer evening drinking beer.

Notice the damning little Lefty digs there? No "steely-eyed" racist Harvard egghead? Only "slightly built"?

The White House had billed the beer summit as a "teachable moment" in American life. An opportunity to show that in America, even the most acrimonious differences can be settled over a beer. If only the Israelis and Palestinians, the North and South Koreans, the Sunnis and the Shias could be so amenable.

Teachable moment is right, people. In total and unabashed Lefty equivocation, i.e. let's put the fascist North Korea and the democratic South on the same "acrimonious differences" playing field, sit 'em all down for beers and sing Kumbaya. Just like with Dr. Gates and Officer Crowley, for example. Forget Kim Jong-Il!

And if I didn't hate the Lefty press in full measure before, this oped on the ObamaFest from Ace of Spades based on blog posts and press releases should lock it: "Noble Race-Blind Professor Agrees to Have Beer With Corrupt Racist Cop." Are any of you seeing the same disturbing pattern here in the Lefty press that I see? They sound just like Gates! Could they be any more ignorant, equivocating or enabling? I think yes.

As Officer Crowley himself pointed out to the press after the Beer Drunk 'Round The World, he and Dr. Gates "agree to disagree," which given Sgt. Crowley's extensive training and experience in racial crisis and conflict resolution, tells me that Dr. Gates was being his usual arrogant, inhospitable and disagreeable self.

No apologies were issued by either Dr. Gates or President Obama to Sgt. Crowley over their respective roles in, and direct contributions to, the slandering of Sgt. Crowley's stellar reputation as a fair, honest and unbiased lawman in this rank affair. No surprise there. Being a racist Harvard Black Studies professor or a black radical-enabling, charge-dropping and favoring Lefty President means never having to say you're sorry.

If you think about all that has transpired to date, i.e. Dr. Skippy Gates and Officer James Crowley sitting down on equal footing to talk racial harmony over a couple of beers, it's on the sickening and equivocating par with throwing similar harmonious pow-wows between Crystal Mangum and the Duke Lacrosse players she falsely accused of rape, or even fellow race- and rape-hoaxer Tawana Brawley and Duchess County prosecutor Steve Pagones, one of Brawley's and Al Sharpton's many slandered victims in that case.

In fact, why don't we have Big Al sit down with the families of the eight shot and burned victims of his racial grievance-inspired and possibly anti-Semitic Freddy's Fashion Mart rampage?

Or with the family of visiting Australian student Yankel Rosenbaum, who had the misfortune of being caught up in the Sharpton-fueled Crown Heights race riot and stabbed to death by one of Big Al's rioting faithful, who screamed 'Kill the Jew!" as he repeatedly stabbed the Jewish Rosenbaum to death? Why don't we sit THEM all down and talk about how the "things that hold us together are stronger than those which pull us apart"?

Hell, why don't we just go all the way? Who don't we sit down the three swaggering racist Black Panther poll-watching thugs with the white Philly voters whom they menaced with batons, and intimidated with racial epithets like "You will soon be ruled by the black man, cracker?" Could go a long way to the "soothing of that race row" and of "acrimonious differences" between those racist thugs and their innocent victims. Of course, the Black Panther thugs would walk away from that summit of racial harmony just as guilty as they entered (though no longer, thanks to Department of Just Us AG Perelli and our Enabler-In-Chief), and the white voters would probably all go home with some new slurs under their belts. A regular Rainbow Coalition.

Of course, the great danger here is that President Obama risks damaging race relations in this country beyond measure by enabling, equivocating and even freeing racist black radicals in what appears to be an Obama Administration-orchestrated regression of this nation's laws in favor of same. How am I, as an American citizen who just happens to be white, seeing all these rank racial injustices proliferate under the President's watch supposed to feel? Like justice is being served? If so, then justice today in being served up like the dish of revenge: cold. I'm certainly not feeling the warmth or the love. What reasons do I have to?

The glue that holds us together as a nation way well be stronger than the forces which attempt to pull us apart. Yet by pouring the acid of racial injustice and discord onto that glue, in the manner in which President Obama and his administration have done to date since taking office, the President risks pulling us all apart and violently so, ironically as the candidate and now-President who promised he would be our Super Glue when it came to establishing racial harmony in this troubled nation. He ain't even been Elmer's!

And this nation only becomes more troubled and pulled apart through President Obama's and his administration's blatant bias, favoritism and enabling of black racial problem children like Dr. Gates, Al Sharpton and the Black Panther thugs. Might as well drive a truckload of Gentleman Jack up to a reprobate alcoholic's house! My "teachable moment" here, people, is that you don't have to be black these days to get a real taste of glaring racial injustice in America.

Feel free to give the White House a Sgt. Crowley-like racial harmony seminar on that one. Cheers!
