   This is not about the incident any longer.

   There is no doubt that there are behind the scenes communication happening between big ear barry and his ol pal skip the bigot.

   The dance for Officer Crowley is to go there, enjoy himself and get the hell out without becoming their flunkie.

   I can see the bigot in chief and his friend the harvard bigot retelling every episode of police brutality that has ever happened and then turning to Officer Crowley and saying

   “And thats just the type of injustice Officer Crowley teaches against at the Academy, isn’t it officer crowley?”

   “would you like to say a few words about why the cambridge police academy the needed to create such a position at the academy officer crowley?”

   “Wasn’t it to combat the known historical injustice blacks and latinos have had to endure officer crowley?”

   “And that’s exactly what Professor Gates was attempting to describe”

   “But those of us who know, and have known skip for a lifetime, we know he can be little boisterous at times, but considering the history of america and the racial prejudice we all know has happened, skip just reacted as any of us would”

   “Now come on up officer crowley”

   Isn’t it comforting to know our racist president thinks beer can broker a solution to conflict.

   I just hope Crowley sticks up for himself. In my book, he’s being more than magnanimous in going into the WH den of thieves. I don’t fault him for accepting the invitation; I’m sure pressure was brought to bear from his superiors, from the COP, the mayor and the governor. Don’t be too hard on Crowley.

   Two Hawvahd elites and a cop having a beer, what could go wrong?

   We should start a pool, will Gates apologize?

   Will two chairs be set higher than the third?

   Gates and Obama will talk about being down for the struggle, they’ll talk to Crowley about..his place.

   Two racists and a white cop having a beer together. I think Michelle O should grab a wine cooler and join them. Then there would be three racists and a white cop.

   However, the drive-by media will look at it like its a racist white cop and three African Americans that are targets of racism on a daily basis. One of them the victim of this very cop!

   Questions will be asked of the racist white cop like, “So what have YOU learned from this meeting and situation. Will you act differently in the future.” In other words it will be framed by the drive-bys as if Gates was just a victim………AGAIN!

   I sure think this cough….cough…ahem….post racial President has set back race relations a long long way. I am so sick of this man. I didn’t think we could find a worse person for President than Bill Clinton, but I was terribly wrong. The ONE is far worse as a President and human being.

   I stopped reading posts after #20, no special reason other time. Sgt. Crowley voted for Odumbo, he also teaches racial diversity classes…he is happy as a pig in crap going to be reeducated or should that be educationally updated at the WH.
   I have no sympathy for the guy, he is a liberal. Saying that, from his call to the police station while at the scene he appears to be a professional peace officer doing his job, even while being verbally attacked by a racist, high and mighty college professor that teaches racial hatred at Haaavvvd.

   Obama is using this episode to make his point. The officer should use it to make his point. The media will make the point they want which will benefit Obama.

   Net effect:

   Obama= good

   Gates= only looks like an arse because white man keeping him down

   White Cop= keeping the black man down so we must do more for the black man

   Race relations will be improved in the same way that electing a black man to President did. Nada.

    Doug,

    I see you are thinking like me. If I were Crowley, I not only would not accept the invite, I would calmly, but clearly state that the only thing I wanted to hear from the President is his reading of his nationally-broadcast, formal, written apology.

    Such a demand would serve the former “community organizer” right as it would be his own tactics turned back around and used upon him,

    Boy howdy, and doesn’t that sound like a whole bunch of fun. Sitting around sipping suds with a couple of racists. In the end, Obama and Gates aren’t going to change who they are and Crowley doesn’t need to.

    I’m sure if it was up to Crowley, the last place he’d be on Thursday is the WH having a brewski with Obama and Gates. Rather he was told by his chief or someone else higher up in the chain of command that “you will show up and you will have a good time.” Anyone who’s been in the service (and the police force is the same) has had such a moment and knows what I am talking about.

    From hearing him speak on this issue, Crowley appears to be a pretty sharp dude. I’m sure he’ll go in, play it low-key and get the hell out of there asap.

    A word to the wise, Sgt. Wear a wire!

    I think Officer Crowley chose unwisely in accepting this invitation for exactly the reasons you pointed out.

    I hope he wears his Kevlar vest and has a friendly witness or tape recorder with him.

    As I wrote in my column yesterday, The Gates of Babble-On, I was disappointed that Officer Crowley accepted the invitation, because to do so is a tantamount to an admission of guilt to a charge of racism. This much is certain: Crowley isn’t being invited over to be the recipient of an apology or even to engage in “meaningful dialog” – but for an intervention, community organizer-style.

    Will there be an update to address Lucia Whalen’s press conference where she stated what actually happened, and the 911 call supports, her contention that Officer Crowley’s police report is in question?

    And, I said it before and will say it again. Lucia Whalen should be invited to the WH, too.
