VT, You ARE kidding, right? I mean, you can’t be that stupid.
First off, he was not arrested for being in his home. He was arrested for disorderly conduct. Try to at least get that correct. Republicans did not turn this into a racial issue; Gates did by launching into his racially charged verbal abuse of the cop. Gates then carries on, despite repeated warnings, until he gets himself arrested. The MSM then jumps in and tries to make this into a racial profiling case against the police despite a police report that clearly shows Gates starting the confrontation. Obama then jumps in and, despite admitting he doesn’t know all the facts, and does the unthinkable by blaming the police and calling their actions “stupid”. Not satisfied, he then starts in about the history of racial injustice in this country. …and you’re ‘stupid’ enough to write some editorial about the Republicans making this a racial issue? Wow, that’s some set of clueless cojones. Besides, genius, the Republicans would have far more to lose than gain by trying to make this into a racial issue.
