Obligatory ‘Beer Summit’ Thread [Darleen Click]
“I have always believed that what brings us together is stronger than what pulls us apart,” Obama said. “I am confident that has happened here tonight, and I am hopeful that all of us are able to draw this positive lesson from this episode.” As far as I’m concerned the only interesting things to come out of this Barry attempt at a salvage operation is seeing Biden show up to help himself to the beer nuts and that Barry chose Bud Lite. I’m not much of a beer drinker, but ewwww! 99 Comments ::: Post a comment »RSS feed for comments on this post.

Biden went too? Did he suggest a game of quarters, followed by a series of bar jokes (a black, a muslim and an irishman go into a bar…).

Just to belabor the Korean angle a bit more: One difference between American and Korean beer commercials is that the Korean ones show people actually drinking the stuff.

“But we’ve learned that we can have our differences without demonizing one another,” Gates said.
I wonder who he means by “we?” Rev. Wright? Rev. Sharpton? Rev. Jackson? Without demons, would not these men perish?

On the “teachable moment” part of this dog and pony show do you suppose that Crowley learned that some blacks are racists? I am guessing that he was already deeply aware of that.

“Gates said in a statement on theroot.com that after tonight’s meeting, “There’s reason to hope that many people have emerged with greater sympathy for the daily perils of policing, on the one hand, and for the genuine fears about racial profiling, on the other hand.
‘I think that he is probably trying to protect himself,’ Gates said of Crowley in an interview with Gayle King on Sirius Radio. ‘I think he feels very vulnerable. I think he knows that A, what he did was wrong and B, that he falsified his report.’ ”
Un-efin’-beievable…
This hack is still sticking to the racial profiling canard…
Yeah, Gates has made a career of grievence mongering and minority exceptionalism. And I guarantee he’s looking ahead to his next PBS special when he can wax on about the slings and arrows of being a highly paid black professor at one of America’s premiere white guilt, affirmative action, Universities…
I can see it all now, Gate’s next PBS special called, “From the Selma bridge to Cambridge, racist mutha-f*@ckin’ cops in America; and how at least this time they were denounced by brother President!”…
It ought to be good for a few hundred grand…
And yet again, another professional grievance monger shows how profitable it is to be racially oppressed in modern AmeriKKKa!
Comment by newrouter on 7/30 @ 9:31 pm #
the mongrel “white” dog club feels oppress by the black idiot.
oh my commies never “oppress”.
Comment by Bob Reed on 7/30 @ 9:33 pm #
“‘It’s a teachable moment if it’s larger than the cop and the professor,’ said Paul Butler, former federal prosecutor and law professor at George Washington University. ‘The president isn’t some civilian dispute mediator. He’s got the biggest soapbox in the world and he’s an African American man whose been [racially] profiled himself, so if he doesn’t cave in to the politics and doesn’t like he took back his comment about the police — if he keeps it real, there’s the opportunity for real change.’
‘Professor Gates should’ve been nicer but it’s not against the law to say bad things to the police. Police hear much worse things,’ Butler, who authored a book about race and the justice system, told ABC News. ‘The concern is that when the police were messing with a 58-year-old man with a cane, they weren’t out catching the real bad guys and ultimately that’s the problem with racial profiling. It doesn’t help the police do their job effectively.’ ”
So once again the goalposts have shifted. Racial profiling is no longer about arbitrarily and capriciously detaining people of color; it’s definition is morphing before our very eyes into arresting minorities for disorderly conduct in public! So I guess if I’m a minority in America, there is no such thing as disorderly behavior; whatever I do? It’s all good baby!
This bilge, coming from a law professor at George Washington University. This is prima facia evidence of how far our once prestigious academic institutions have fallen! And how any minority can engage in truly racist and racialist behavior, and there can be no repurcussions; they truly have achieved absolute moral authority…
Yep…There’s an excuse for everything…We ought to just start referring to the Democrats, and all the identity politics crowd, as the party of ill-behaved little boys and girls grown up…
Because they’re all about finding excuses for behavior that, as children, most were taught would lead to no good; but it’s always someone else’s fault…
This victim mentality is leading to ruin in this nation…
Obama…Keepin’ it real!…At least, by Jerimiah Rights yardsticKKK…

“On her 911 call, Whalen didn’t mention the race of the men whom she said might be residents of the house, though when asked, she said she thought one man looked “kind of Hispanic” but she couldn’t tell.”
“”I hope people can see that I tried to be careful and honest with my words,” Whalen said at a press conference Wednesday. “It never occurred to me that the way I reported what I saw be analyzed in an entire nation.”"
“Whalen’s attorney, Wendy Murphy, said her client “didn’t speak to Sgt. Crowley at the scene except to say, ‘I’m the one who called.’ And he said, ‘Wait right there,’ and walked into the house. She never used the word black and never said the word backpacks”
That does not make sense. One has to wonder if after the tapes came out that someone decided [coerced?] that Whalen’s statements to Stg. Crowley could become a he said/she said affair since there was no mention of race during the original phone report.
Comment by happyfeet on 7/30 @ 10:18 pm #
Whalen’s lawyer would have you believe that she waited at the scene for the cop to show up. On purpose waited, right? Cause the 911 people said she should. So Crowley gets there. She says hey I’m the one who called. And then she scoots.
There’s something missing. She didn’t say Crowley told her to get on with her bad neighborhood watchin’ self. Apparently we’re to believe she felt she was just supposed to wait there and say hi and then leave. Is she for real that stupid?
Comment by happyfeet on 7/30 @ 10:19 pm #
ABC does seem eager though to paint Crowley as a big fat dirty racist white liar.

I find it intresting that this revelation [July 29th] only materialized after Gates had gone on the air to state that Stg. Crowley falsified his report [July 24th].

Barry chose Bud Lite. I’m not much of a beer drinker, but ewwww!
Barry chose Bud Light purposefully because it’s the most popular beer in America (“Hey, he done drunk the same kinda beer as I done drunk! Awwwright!”). He even tries to pander when it comes to beverages. You know he hated it — Bud Light doesn’t go well with arugula.
Comment by Geo Walsh on 7/30 @ 11:51 pm #
They each had one beer?! So somewhere in a D.C. supermarket there are one six-pack each of Bud Light, Red Stripe, and Blue Moon — oh, and one of O’Douls — each one bottle short. Some shopper’s going, “WTF?”
I think Biden was there because he’s Obama’s official “man of the common people” totem, the guy he goes out for burgers with. Cause Biden hangs out with those types at Katies Diner, and the Home Depot.

Bud light ups his “regular guy” street cred. Because that’s what he thinks a regular guy drinks. It may be the most popular beer, but I think it’s the beer for kids. College kids love it.

Bud Light doesn’t go well with arugula.
It goes well with anything that takes the taste away – like, say, a real glass of beer!
And Carin, I don’t think college kids’ tastes are a good metric – if I can remember that far back, I think if it was free, we drank it.

doesn’t actually fit the story it attempts to frame it.

Comment by Cowboy on 7/31 @ 8:05 am #
Wow, Pablo, that letter’s great!
I’ve been wondering about Crowley’s invitation to the WH and his response. I can’t imagine him wanting to sit don and drink beer with Gates under any circumstances, so did this invitation “force” his attendance? Was it, in other words, a royal summons? Could he refuse the invitation?
Comment by Cowboy on 7/31 @ 8:09 am #
Aside from that, I have also been pining for George Bush. I didn’t always agree with his policies, but the man knew how to be President. I wonder if he has to grimace when he sees Obama behave with such little sense of decorum.
From the beginning, this affair has been graceless, classless.
Obama, the “Ocho Cinco” of presidential politics.
Comment by SDN on 7/31 @ 8:35 am #
#27: I’ll just bet that the Montgomery AL police department has been discussing it. They’ve been dealing with that reality for the whole 35 years I lived there. Local race hustlers like Alvin Holmes made it impossible to enforce the law against black gangbangers. Result: the situation on the south central part of town is so bad that Montgomery Mall has been closed, and even the Barnes and Noble has been closed with no plans to replace it. All the shopping, etc. is moving north and east, out of Montgomery County. “People won’t come to a slaughterhouse.”
Comment by cranky-d on 7/31 @ 8:41 am #
Cowboy, I imagine Crowley accepted the invitation out of respect for the office of president. That would be the reason I would do it, I think.
Comment by happyfeet on 7/31 @ 9:06 am #
I wonder if Crowley has to go to work today. I wish I didn’t.
And apparently his family was there but I guess for some reason they weren’t part of the photo-op – either Crowley didn’t want his family exploited or the Obama people felt they didn’t work. Someone should ask about that like one of them reporter ones or something.

“Joe was the designated driver”.

Comment by Pablo on 7/31 @ 10:00 am #
I get the impression that Crowley intends to assert himself and stand up for his position and this was just another venue in which to do that. The Lashley letter (and its public release) along with the post brewski union hall presser tend to confirm that for me. It is decidedly not the Kumbaya moment that Barcky was hoping for. I don’t think Crowley is going to be happy until Gates eats some crow.
Comment by Pablo on 7/31 @ 10:07 am #
Crowley said the two families were touring the WH separately and “coincidentally” ran into each other, then finished the tour together. That should have been a perfect Rainbow Coalition photo-op, but for the fact that you had Crowley, his presumably hot wife and their handful of cute kids on one hand, then Skippy, some not-his-wife hootchie and his geezer-ass Daddy on the other hand. Those visuals wouldn’t play right in flyover country.
Comment by steph on 7/31 @ 10:42 am #
I love the picture in our paper. Crowley and Gates have their suit jackets on, but O and Joe? Nah, they’re just a couple of joes, having a beer after work, with their sleeves rolled-up. Why, they may even do some weeding in the garden a little later, or shoot some hoops, right after they take a whiz behind the tree.

It still looks like Red Stripe was just used as a political statement.

Could be B Moe, though contemplating the question gives me a bad sense of wasted-time-itis. God only knows how men like Gates and Obama think about stuff like this. Do they poll the thing? Test for the interplay in the public mind of foreign brewed beer vs. domestic? Jamaican branding over Bostonian branding? I shit on them all.
