re: ["I don't think you'll ever get more than a handful of people together if you expect people to follow narrow, hateful nutbags like Glen Beck, Rush and Hannity."] Manny, you're welcome to your opinion, and I have no problem with you expressing them. You know, to be completely honest, I found the Presidents words and actions to be more disturbing than anyone else. And by far, the most hateful windbag of all, is Gates himself. Did you see him on CNN? Interesting insight to Mr. Henry Louis Gates here... youtube.com If there's one thing Henry Louis Gates doesn't leave home without - it's his race card. The "teachable moment" would have been seeing the President of the United States, admit he was wrong in making racist allegations without knowing the facts. That Obama has refused to issue an actual apology speaks to the man we are slowly see unveiled. The cop Crowley, will be fine. Good guy, handled it great. And taking the best option, of just moving forward. The real victim was the black cop who was on the call with Crowley, and spoke up with the truth, backing Crowley, and who received viscious death threats, and attacks from the black community. Here's another victim: The 911 caller... youtube.com Both Obama and Gates owe not just them an apology, but all of America. But, that isn't going to happen. And don't you love the new catch phrase... "Teaching Moment" I want to puke. That was the lowest form of political spin I've ever seen. How about the President of the United States not making inflamatory statements on live national television, when he doesn't have the facts. How about apologizing for doing so. How about speaking the truth that reverse racism, is racism. I think America learned alot from this. Especially about our President. And they didn't need a bunch of political wonks issuing "teaching moment" talking points to see the truth. SOTB
