Wow: Black cop in Gates arrest sends letter to Obama about being called an “Uncle Tom”;
hot air ^

Posted on 07/30/2009 6:43:27 PM PDT by maccaca

A black sergeant who was at the home of Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. when he was arrested says he’s been maligned as an “Uncle Tom” for supporting the actions of the white arresting officer. Cambridge Sgt. Leon Lashley gave a letter to Sgt. James Crowley to give to President Barack Obama during their so-called beer summit with Gates on Thursday night at the White House. In the letter, which was also sent to CNN, Lashley says Gates “may have caused grave and potentially irreparable harm to the struggle for racial harmony.”

Amen and good for Sgt Crowley and Sgt Lashley.

Obama himself stirred this pot the most and taught us all a great lesson about himself.

"I may be a little biased here, and I don't know all the facts, but the Cambridge Police clearly acted stupidly."

Obama let his bias and underlying feelings be exposed with that statement.

In truth, underneath the sheen, and the thin venier...behind the TOTUS, Obama is just like Gates, Wright, Ayers, etc.

And, IMHO, that is the most revealing thing about the issue with Gates. 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.

This poor guy, Lashley, got caught in the crossfire, so to speak. He and Crowley were doing their sworn duty to protect and serve. Gates is nothing but an agitator like Rev. Wright.

This is not over yet.

So, the long and short of it, IS he an Uncle Tom or is he on Obami’s side?

Nope. He'll have the leftist machine go after Sgt. Lashley. Get ready to hear "sell-out" repeated over and over and over.

Obama wants it to be over.

But, yes, it is not over.

Who, me? I’m just giving one of my predictions, which usually come true.

A Beer Summit at the White House is not going to undo what the real race-baiters, Gates and Obama, started.

Kudos to Sgt Lashley! My hat is off to the man for his courage & convictions. There’s a lesson for a lot of people to be learned from this...

Zero needs to pack his bags & go back to wherever it is outside of Oz that he hails from...

Good for Sgt Lashley ... he's being vilified and called an "Uncle Tom" for upholding the law. Now, who would call him that ?? These race baiters and racism inventors are repulsive.

MUST SEE video .. all the way through. It's the end that packs the punch to Gates.

Gates, the uppity affirmative action achiever, really needs this smackdown. God bless Sgt Lashley and Sgt Crowley and all those who wear the blue, doing the hard work every day.
