First, he says he doesn't know the facts, then he says the police acted stupidly. No comment on how the professor acted.


If he was smart, he wouldn't have commented. I think he acted stupidly on this.


I wonder how many other topics he talks about without knowing the facts? Heath care? The economy?

But when a Congressman from Georgia, a Southern state, such as Lynn Westmoreland calls Obama or Michelle 'uppity' he knows full well the implications of the word. The general use of the word comes, after all, from the deep South. So, in that context, would you agree that it was intended as a racial slur?

Remember during the election, this it the kind of thing we saw when there was all the talk about the watermelon postcard. I think it is a sad way to approach life. When you learn that something is offensive, even if you honestly had not known before, it would seem that we have two ways of dealing with it. One, we can apologize and avoid being offensive in the future, or two we can rail about the 'list of racially charged words' that seems to get longer every day. Honestly, I hope that my children will take choice number one!

It was the same with the "experience question" with Barry...there is no intelligent argument to make so the muster their meager forces, launch a misdirection campaign and then levy personal attacks against the police officer.

The Tolan situation has nothing to do with Crowley...but since they can't come up with an intelligent argument to attack Crowley, they've resorted to misdirection and personal attacks. It's pretty much "by the book."

The libs determined Crowley broke the law the minute a black liberal played the race card.
