“Don’t you know who I am? You don’t know who you’re dealing with”.
[Doesn’t that tell you a lot?]
I’m no cop fan.
But two points:
(1) That 58 yr old PhD “Professor” was acting like an a**hole and deserved what he got.
(2) W.E.B. Du Bois was a Stalinist, hard line Communist and the “Professor” for that organization was likely deliberately inflaming the issue because he himself was a hard core Communist, just seizing the opportunity to make trouble.
(3) Doesn’t Obama have ANY friends who aren’t extremists or crooks?

You can bet your bottom dollar you're being "vetted" by every media outlet there is.
Gates was soooo defensive, I’m wondering what was in that backpack.
“Gates insists Crowley needed a warrant to enter the home but he is mistaken, as even the most liberal judge would find that Crowley was faced with sufficiently exigent circumstances, viz. a possible burglar who may have attempted to arm himself or flee, to justify a warrantless entry.”
Gates is wholly incorrect. As long as a crime is perceived or suspected, the police have full jurisdiction to enter a home. If a police officer comes to your door to deliver a subpeona, and sees a big bag of weed on your coffee table in full view of the front door, he can enter without a warrant.
He cannot plunder through your underwear drawer for no reason, but there is an assumption of a crime if a crime is seen.
Gates entering the home to obtain ID, the officer following him to make sure he was the occupant of the home (or accompanying him until he was PROVEN to be the legal occupant) is fully in the officers right. Matter of fact, it’s the duty because if he had just waited on the porch for a burglar to go in the home, how is that protecting the community?
Obama’s reaction was entirely consistent for someone who attended a Black Liberation Theology ‘church’ for 20 years.
This whole fiasco ultimately hurts the neighborhood. What neighbor is going to call the police now when they see something suspicious? Personally, I’d be overjoyed to have such neighbors and would thank the police officer for actually showing up at all! If I was Gates’ neighbors I’d be really pissed right now.
Also, and I don’t know if this question has been fully answered, but what was Gates doing in China?
The arrest allowed Crowley to make a full report and document everything that happened. I think Crowley may have a tape recording of everything that occurred. He seems like he's the kind of cop that would want everything recorded, just in case he ran into a race baiting @$$#0!E like Gates.
Ans what about all of the witnesses that were standing outside?
"skippie" Gates is the WEB DuBois Black studies professor.WEB DuBois was a life long committed Marxist racist agitator.
WEB DuBois was a card carrying member of the Communist Party.
My take on Gates is that he is a Marxist racist agitator
looking for some street "Creds" to continue the lie with authority.
"skippie" wanted to add being busted by a racist honky to his CV.The house is owned by Harvard not "skippie"
I'll bet "skippie" does not have any ID linking him to the house.also see WEB DuBois CV

President Obama and Senator Boxer acted stupidly
In his recent press conference, the First Gasbag in Chief waded into a racial powderkeg. After admitting that he had no idea what the facts were, he decided that a police department “acted stupidly” when a white police officer arrested a black college professor.
In another incident, Barbara “You had better call me Senator” engaged in outright bigotry, and had the temerity to express shock at being a victim of her own game.
No, the only people acting stupidly in this country are leftist race mongers, who have used political correctness, aka political McCarthyism, to destroy people. Now they are getting their racial castor oil shoved down their throats in spades, and they don’t like it.
President Obama offered social racial commentary about a conflict that may have had absolutely nothing to do with race.
I initially stayed away from this story in greater detail because unlike President Obama, we simply did not know all of the facts. My blog has a policy of avoiding stories when the facts are unknown. It saves time in corrections later on.
What is not in dispute is that a woman saw a man breaking into the back of his house. As somebody who has locked his keys in his car and lost his house keys, I have had to break into my own car, and use a ladder to climb into an open window on the roof as a youngster. Somebody witnessing this who did not know me would absolutely have a right to question this and call the cops.

Barbara Boxer: My jerkish behavior is great for fund-raising!
By Michelle Malkin • July 24, 2009 06:50 AM
Getting unhinged over military officials calling her ma’am.
Getting unhinged over minority conservatives challenging the cult of global warming.
Getting unhinged over people calling her unhinged.
That’s Babs Boxer for you. And she says her moonbat constituents love her theatrics so much, it’s filling her campaign coffers. Via Politico:
Boxer says that she doesn’t regret the recent episodes — and that any attention her political opponents devote to them will help her in her 2010 reelection bid.
“That only revs up my people,” she told POLITICO. “I use that to send them letters and say, ‘Help me.’ So I get millions of dollars because these people are attacking me in the most ridiculous, unfair way. The more they do it, the more I get energized for my [reelection] race, and the more my supporters help me because they think it’s so ridiculous and unfair.”
Alas, even fellow Democrats on the Hill are embarrassed by crazy auntie Barb:
“You can’t just do this by guilting folks,” said one senior Democratic aide who, like others, would speak only on the condition of anonymity.
Read the rest.
Guilting. Hectoring. Race-baiting. Emotional-card-playing. She doesn’t know any other way to do things.
And, hey, it’s great for fund-raising.
The most racist people in America today are black liberals. Period. End of story.
This was all a set-up. The event happened a week before the affiramtive action figure held his presser/staged Q&A, the ‘reporter’ who was give the last slot was a Chicago based wonk, the region is a solid liberal area not likely to be lost at election time and not likely to erupt in violent racial disturbances, the Pres_ _ent segwayed quickly to the real reason for the questiona nd his repsonding and that was to raise for distraction purposes the issue of ‘racial profiling’ and create a hook upon which his racist minions could take over the media oxygen. And it works every time because black people have been programmed to remain ever vigilant that the chip they’ve been taught to carry on their shoulder not be dissolved by peace and normalcy. What is disgusting is the media servitude in aiding the irrational hype ginned up by racist pricks liek Barack Obama and Al Sharptoon. Where is Jesse Jackasson? Still licking his wounds for when he was carefully exposed as wanting to snip off Barry’s balls for elbowing into the racism lead?
Yeah, as my wife would say, "add short-man-syndrome" on top of that giant redwood chip on Gates' shoulder. Holy carp, it is a wonder Gates didn't self-combust from the heat of that seething rage!
Excuse me sir, may I see your ID please?
What’s the problem officer?
We had a report of a burglary.
Oh no! I live here... Here this is my ID.
Terribly sorry.
No problem, I understand... and I thank you! Can I fix you up a coffee?
(Ahhh civilization! - Sarah Palin style)
There are a number of threads at DummyU where some Gate’s backers have been astonished by the amount of support for Crowley. On a far-left moonbat site like DU that is nothing less than earth-shaking. The MO for leftists for all incidents like the Gates-Crowley incident is to find out who the minority person is and support him or her no matter what the facts. Even on some of the Crowley-bashing threads there were posters who disagreed. As I said very extraordinary for DummyU.
