Union brass, lawyer to accompany Sgt. Crowley to White House
By Marie Szaniszlo | Wednesday, July 29, 2009 | http://www.bostonherald.com

A union official and attorney will accompany Cambridge police Sgt. James Crowley to tomorrow’s “beer summit” with President Obama and Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Crowley will be joined at the White House by Dennis O’Connor, president of the Cambridge Police Superior Officers Association, and Alan McDonald, the attorney for the Cambridge Police Superior Officers Association, the Cambridge Police Patrol Officers Association and the Massachusetts Municipal Police Coalition.

What is wrong with you people?

Obama is giving us another "teaching moment" about race relations. How ungrateful and infantile of you.

Consider his feelings: Obama in all his magnanimous god like standing in the earth takes a few moments of his time to actually address the deep seated racism ingrained in white people by sharing a beer with a evil white person. We should be grateful for him to show us the correct path to rid ourselves of the evil of racism like his homey "Skippy" Gates

If Gates and -11bama can bring enough people with them to keep the 2 to 1 black to white ratio at the brewfest then they can all take a vote at the end to determine whether Crowley is a racist or not.

Your comment reminded me of Reagan and Tip O’neill going at each other publicly but getting along fine privately. Who knows, maybe they tipped a few together.

But the nation did hear for the first time from Lucia Whalen, the passer-by who placed the 911 call to report a possible break-in at Gates' home. In a trembling voice, Whalen said she was pained to be wrongly labeled a racist based on words she never said. Police said the caller had reported a possible break-in by two black men.

Tapes of the call released this week revealed that ,b>Whalen did not mention the race of the suspects. Only when pressed by a dispatcher did she say that one of the two men she saw at Gates' door might have been Hispanic.

She should be commanding a TEAM of lawyers to sue every accuser and those that rehashed the accusation into a stinking mudhole. The crap of every time some jerk gets in a jam they start screeching "racist" needs to be dealt with in a IMMEDEAT time frame.

It will be Bud Light for Obama, Blue Moon for Crowley and Red Stripe for Gates, the White House says.

Ok, now that is just beyond stupid. Yet the White House has this scripted down to the first and last burp. I am sure someone on the White House staff knocking off 90K a year arranging this is soooo proud.

A trio of grand Irishmen descended from Irish kings will sit in the White House Rose Garden on Thursday and drink beer and talk about race in America.

That is more "We are the world" BS that the egalitarian anti-white Marxist just love to posit. So Gates is Irish? Then what "racism" is this BS all about?

Crowley should have asked for Sam Adams Lager. Or even Dixie Beer.

this whole summit thing makes me ill. I wonder if Crowley’s superiors are forcing him to do this.

Crowley forced to go? What do you think.

The governor of MA is a buddy of Obama’s and immediately supported Gates. The Mayor of Cambridge immediately supported Gates.

Plus it was no accident that yesterday Biden was holding a press conference in which he announced millions of dollars in stimulus money to go to police departments.

Obama is so accustomed to his work as a Community Organizer he’s just falling back into his comfort zone. He’s weak and ineffective. He’s not a leader. And before he goes on vacation he desperately wants some good press. He needs to feel like he has one success. But it’s not working. This is just making him look smaller. And to tell you the truth, he’s looking like a bully - bullying the police officer to concede he did something wrong. In the meantime ...

Iran? Iraq? Afghanistan? Pakistan? N. Korea? Way to keep your eye on the ball Obama!

I was thinking more of an Irish Catholic and an Irish Protestant getting to gather over a pint or two to find common ground on religion. My fond hope is the Beer Summit will have the same combustible potential.

That’s ridiculous - whee, let’s all go to the WH!

Does Crowley get to bring his own posse? I think he should take the whole PD. Gosh, I hope nobody breaks into Gates’ house while he’s gone!

This could get 'boisterous'.

Let's hope a certain police officer is wearing a wire. (wink)
