Let's all play the race card!

Here is video of CNN Anchor Tony Harris losing it over the call by Police Officers in Cambridge, Massachusetts for President Obama to apologize for his accusation that they "acted stupidly" in arresting a Harvard Professor.
Harris listened to reporter Don Lemon who was at the press conference, and then just lost it, saying "This is incendiary," referring to the call by the police for an Obama apology. He then put reporter Don Lemon on the spot to share a personal experience of profiling, which Lemon did not seem to want to do.. . . . . . (Watch Video)

IMHO, the most revealing thing about the issue with Gates is that he is so clearly another person and instance of a pattern that fits Obama's other "close friends".
Racist, hate filled, angry, people who detest traditional America and the free market and whose seething hatred is only just below the surface...and in some cases always out in the open. Frank Davis, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Jeremiah Wright, Henry Louis Gates, even his own wife, Michelle (by her own admission)...and the list goes on and on.
There is a clear pattern here that the MSM not only knows, but refuses to report. And that is because most of them share this hatred.
Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.

“Did Obama go too far?”
It was entertaining, and scary. There was no attempt at reporting, just venting personal feelings.
The real question is, has Barack Obama set race relations in this country back 10 years, or 50?
typical
Obama panicking over his cratering poll number.
Holy cow! He goes nuts around 2:15 into it. I didnt watch it that far into it the 1st time I saw it.
What’s up with these emotional CNN reporters? I miss the days of Ted Koppel.
CNN has trouble comprehending why the rest of the world isn’t on its knees before the Messiah. Their over-the-top devotion has gone from annoying to disgusting to laughable.
I don’t care if they put Rodney King on the air to show him getting beat (is he alive?)
WHAT would that have to do with THIS incident in Cambridge of a call to the police that 2 people were seen breaking into a house????
The police cannot racially profile the telephone calls they receive, it has nothing to do with street stops or anything else. That is the racial insanity of Obama’s and every other leftist’s jump to wild conclusions from one minor incident.
How hard has Obama made it for the police to do their jobs?
More of what passes for journalism in our time.
He’s always “stepping” in it.
He’s a loaded agitator that cannot stop getting agitated.
Why can’t we call black racism what it is as easy as seeing the KKK in their sheets?
My neighbor was from Inglewood, says their is massive black on white hatred/bigotry/racism throughout the black community and they even went after him for being a hard working successful citizen.
Enough is enough already IMO.
On the minority side this appears to be bigotry, racism and reverse profiling of the worst kind happening here.
Excuse me... their is should be there is...
I saw it live, he could not believe that those cops did not come out and kiss Hussein/Gates arse.
It is time for a conversation about HOW THESE RACISTS SLANDER AND DESTROY WHITE PEOPLE WITH IMPUNITY.
CNN is pwned by Time-Lies-Warner.
Boycott Time-Warner
Now they look for pretty boys, not real journalists.
I write for a politically libertarian paper...at least they don’t care what we look like, though the pay sucks and I won’t stay much longer due to the recession and Internet threatening the entire industry, even the financially “okay” ones like mine.
Could make a lot more on TV, but they don’t care for good reporting. It’s embarrassing how far TV news has sunk at both the local and national levels.
At least 50 years.
How would CNN be spinning this if the cop hadn't asked for ID and it was found out later that there had been a burglar hiding behind the door holding the professor's family at gunpoint and now they were all dead?
FOX's resident 'former dem strategist" (and pathetic toad) took this one to infer that it was the entire neighborhood that was racist because they knew that a black person lived at that house.
Let's all play the race card!
Chicken Noodle Network Reporter:
“THE KING NEVER APOLOGIZES! THE KING IS NEVER WRONG!
DON’T YOU STOOPID RACIST PEASANTS UNDERSTAND!”
You make so much sense.
Why can’t Obama the Lawyer see the incident for what it is?
Res ipsa loquitor.
Bookmarked for later entertainment
Just a few minutes ago FOX broke the news that Obama has invided Gates to the white house.
That’ll help. LOL
The media may well bail out Hussein by dropping coverage. But don’t be surprised if a sudden rush of “police brutality” charges start pouring in. Evil white cops beating the poor defenseless black/Mexican (or at least that will be the charge.)
Harris was really losing it and visibly upset. News people are supposed to be able to keep their cool better than that.

You assholes and the leader of you race pimping scam, Barry, are the ones ginning this this up.
With each day you continue to comment as does your feckless leader.
No one else is out on TV Land presenting a one sided point of view to marginalize and victimize a cop who, conveniently for you, happens to be white.
You are so racial vanity is becoming sickening and irrational.
Most of us are sick and tired of you making race an issue. We don't even think about it except when you decide you need some validation through a cheap shot by getting us to stroke your color scheme.
In fact, most of us go through the day not thinking very much about race but dealing with the other humans as well, humans. We have things to do and race isn't a barrier to equal treatment, as far as we are concerned.
But you want these guys to get together and provide a teachable moment in history to the rest of us?
You want them to get together and find a way to “mend this?’.
For what? You are the only ones talking about it. I have yet to see Mr. Gates go in front of the camera every day, climb up on the cross of martyrdom and say “hey, from up here I see white people”.
You are trying to give an advantage to the only party in this who could possibly gain.
You selling him to the rest of us a victim.
He is not and we are not buying what you are selling.
Your reasoning is very adolescent, tiring and old.
Your motivation very old. Pimps.
If these two men want to get together, let them, if only to say no hard feelings and I respect you, another human being and as a man.
And in this country that doesn't make anyone a good or a bad guy. It just makes them men.
In the late 20th century, the editorializing in the “newscasts” was much more subtle, but just as insulting. It is the main reason I dumped tv in 1997.
But it’s clearly amateur hour here. Why are these guys opinions deserving of national air time while mine are not? They are making the same mistake actors make. They are mistaking fame for relevance and intelligence.
What is that, a racist cube?
Hope the cop doesn’t go. He has nothing to gain by going.
On the other hand Mr. Gates, through his spiritual leader, will be elevated as “The Bigger Man”.
That happens no matter what the cop does.
I’ll have to give this a listen at home later.
Yep, I cubed the racist!
CNN BLOWS
O’s comments were out of line. This CNN repoter has an axe to grind.

Good grief. Harris keeps saying “We just need to take down the temperature,” or something like that, but he’s the one who’s so fired up. You can almost feel the heat emanating from him. He twitches and squirms and nervously interrupts Lemon, trying to get him to agree with him. Harris is not up to the job of objectively reporting the news.
Affirmative Action unleashed
THat man cracks me up!
Caught that and corrected it in #13. :-)
My comment was a play on your words and the blatant or rather naked racism of narcissistic martyrdom exhibited by the reporters.
It's as if they have an uncontrollable need to climb up on their crosses and looking over all they see from up high “I see white people”.
Every one is going crazy telling everyone about their experience with racism.
Get over yourself and move on. Plenty of us have had incidences that didn't settle well and being taken advantage of because of your race, something you cannot control, is more than unsettling and wholly unfair.
So I ask: Is racism your narrative that defines you. Has your person hood been held down or the pain of an experience been so horrible that the rest of us have to pay for what some asshole did to you/
Think about it, “What some asshole did to you”. How is the rest of white America responsible for your pain?
We didn't cause it, we don't endorse it and certainly repudiate. It is an anathema to us not because of your ancestors or your skin color. The fact of the matter is that a whole human would find it unacceptable to exert their will over another simply because of race.
Heck I keep thinking we are sohhh, beyond this but, there you are promoting...No hustling the rest of us and demanding we sympathize with the black experience and perform an appropriate empathetic “Ohhh, I am so sorry”.
Sorry for what? We weren't there and you should read the above to refresh your memory.
We, that is, the rest of us were not there and we are not responsible for what happened in your life.
Hence my statement, “There it is”
(rant off)
Probably 50. He's the first black president, and if this keeps up he will be the last one too. Everyone I talk to, black and white, has the same reaction.
