President Barack Hussein Obama got himself into a police dispute. He said the Cops did bad and there is a history of Blacks and Latins being harassed by the police. Obviously his membership in Rev. Wrights Black racist Church has influenced his thinking. he clearly has a racial chip on his shoulder and was exposed. Melanie Phillips does a great expose on this.
I’ve been travelling and so have only just been catching up with the Obama race row over the altercation between Henry Louis Gates and the Cambridge, Mass. police. Strikes me this is no storm in a teacup. Look at the Fox News clip that Tim Montgomerie highlights here for some extremely sharp comments indeed, particularly by Charles Krauthammer. Even after Obama started rowing back, noted Juan Williams of NPR, he was still getting the facts wrong, claiming that Sgt Crowley had led Gates out of his house whereas this was ‘just not true’.
This affair is toxic because it touches many nerves: America’s neuralgic conscience over its historic racism, the monstrously unjust over-reaction to that racism, and the election of a President who supposedly embodied, in both his identity and his approach, a post-racial New Man and an absolution for past national sins. Now the mask has slipped, and even those with Obama stars in their eyes can’t hide their dismay.
Read the rest.
Charles will soon call Melanie a Racist in a future post!
