Now it's starting to get a bit weird...

Quote

Henry Louis Gates Jr., the black professor at the center of the racial story involving his arrest outside his Harvard University-owned house, has spoken proudly of his Irish roots.

Strangely enough, he and the Cambridge, Mass., police officer who arrested him, Sgt. James Crowley, both trace their ancestry back to the legendary Niall of the Nine Hostages.

I don't know why Sgt. Crowley is going to the White House for a beer with Obama and Gates. That would be an awkward meeting, to say the least. Having a beer together suggests a degree of friendship among all three which I would think would be absent. Unless and until Obama makes a proper retraction and apology, I would think Crowley would have nothing to do with him. Yes, I am sure Crowley is getting pressured, but I would hope he can resist it. The whole thing is an transparent attempt by Obama to sweep everything under the rug, and I don't think Crowley should cooperate.

It seems to me a proper Irish Bostonian would have a good suggestion about what Obama can do with the beer.

Harvard Professor Gates Is Half-Irish, Related to Cop Who Arrested Him

Henry Louis Gates Jr., the black professor at the center of the racial story involving his arrest outside his Harvard University-owned house, has spoken proudly of his Irish roots.

Strangely enough, he and the Cambridge, Mass., police officer who arrested him, Sgt. James Crowley, both trace their ancestry back to the legendary Niall of the Nine Hostages.

In a PBS series on African-American ancestry that he hosted in 2008, Gates discovered his Irish roots when he found he was descended from an Irish immigrant and a slave girl.

============================================================

O, the irony! Dr. Henry Louis Gates is Irish and half White, like Barack Obama. He is even related to Sergeant James Crowley through Nial of the Nine Hostages. 2 percent of New Yorkers are descendant of Nial of the Nine Hostages.

Maybe that's why the Big Ã˜ is having 'em both up to the Big House for a beer: to talk about common ancestries.

And he is a Harvard professor. Ah, how the mighty have fallen.

The RUMOR circulating is that professor Gates has got some kid of "foundation" that he operates from his house, that gets lots of $$$, and is suspicious, which is why having police in his house caused his frenzy......I stress this is only a RUMOR.....

Well, the rumor has been confirmed. Gates does indeed own a foundation that gets big bucks for some kind of black studies. Where the bucks go is suspicious.

I would love to see if Gates and the officer do show up how many times the Zero is going to put his big old foot in his mouth this time

I'm just impressed with the agility Teh Ã˜ has to demonstrate every time he does put his foot in his mouth. Colons are tight places to begin with, and with his head already firmly lodged all the way up there, there can't be that much room to maneuver that gunboat of a foot as well.

An interesting picture from after the "beer summit".

Is 0Bama showing that he is the leader? I think he should have walked on the other side of Gates, at least while coming down the steps.

Doo-fuss steps in it again.

The racist cop is helping the old man....as for Obama, it's all about me.

Picture is worth a thousand words...

Photos released on the whitehouse.gov blog, shows Sgt. Crowley helping Professor Gates down the steps of the White House...(White House Photographer Pete Souza)

Sergeant Crowley, the sole class act in this trio, helps the handicapped Professor Gates down the stairs, while Barack Obama, heedless of the infirmities of his friend and fellow victim of self-defined racial profiling, strides ahead on his own. So who is compassionate? And who is so self-involved and arrogant that he is oblivious?

Says a lot about 0bama and his "friends". Gates better watch out he doesn't get thrown under the bus with Barry's typical white grandmother.

thundley4 · « **Reply #113 on:** July 31, 2009, 06:37:17 PM »

Let's throw in a picture of President Bush for comparison.

Strange, isn't it, 0Bama said Gates is his friend, but he leaves him to negotiate the stairs on his own. Yet here we see President Bush assisting a direct political rival.

Nope. It's the difference between a good man, and egotist who thinks only of himself. 0Bama being a rookie White House occupant, has nothing to do with how he treats other people.

Good point.

It has been said of liberals, that they love humanity, but they hate people. I often saw the same thing on DU, when I went there.

Very very true guess he was not taught how to treat people

Sure he was.

He was taught how to treat people by the likes of 'Reverend' Wright, Saul Alinsky and William Ayers.

People are political tools to be used and then thrown away when no longer useful.
