No Kirsten, dragging the man outside kicking and screaming, and then arresting him would be an abuse of power. Kudos to you for, as is typical of libs, implying that a black man is too stupid to behave responsibly. 

Meanwhile, when did the cane defense become precedent? Apparently, having a cane is sort of like diplomatic immunity. 

So the stupid cop outsmarted the prof, sounds like dumb Bush tricking the dems.

Last September when the bailout initially failed, Powers was on FNC whining because everyday Americans had the nerve to think they could call Congress and boss them around. She said it was a problem that "major governmental decisions" were being made by little old ladies in flyover country. In her world Congress knows what's best, and we don't vote them in to do our bidding, we vote them in to "take care of us."

I saw this today... I caught myself talking to the tv saying things like "are you kidding me?" and "do you have a clue what you're talking about?" And the sad thing was that no one challenged her; she sounded like a spoiled valley girl.

Then the panel discussed Sarah Palin and Powers, the native Alaskan, noted that Palin's attacks on the media were a bit over the top and she wasn't sure exactly what she meant by "making things up."

Disingenuous pandering to the left. However, at least she is as informed as the Prez.

Kristen Powers is a liberal - first, last, and always. She will always fall back to the liberal default position; criminally naive. She's had no exposure to street issues, she knows only what she's been told and chooses to believe. It's easy to be a baby.

He is the Mount Everest of right.

"Panelist Jim Pinkerton had just made the point that it was only the
conservative media, by focusing attention on the matter, that saved
Sgt. Crowley from a "miserable life in Cambridge" at the hands of Prof.
Gates, Harvard, the NAACP et. al, when Powers jumped in . . ."

Gates and all his race pimp buddies would have destroyed that man's life if no one knew the truth about how Gates had acted.  That's what they do.  Just like with the Duke students.

" if Republicans are able to stop Barack Obama on health care, 'it will be his Waterloo, it will break him...."  -Sen. Jim DeMint

This often happens on Newswatch, because you get a democratic that's just a better and faster talker than the conservatives. Neil Gabler was even worse for yammering on.

Sgt. Crowley is very lucky that other officers got there quickly, not as backup but as witnesses, and some of them were Harvard. Without them who knows what he might have been accused of.

Gates is on cloud nine now. He was nobody a week ago, now he's hobnobbing with el Presidente. He's challenging the Jacksum/Sharpton team for head race huckster.

 reported an attempted break in at our house.

Were they luring me outside to arrest me?

 I don't think so.

I guess Kirsten doesn't know much about the law and law enforcement.  Typical for a Dem, they seem to relish pontificating on things they know nothing about.  And typical for a good-looking liberal female TV personality.  Most of them have empty heads.  That's a bit of profiling you can take to the bank.

 As it turns out, a police officer doesn't need to "lure a suspect outside" in order to arrest them.  They can be arrested where thay stand, duh.  And it's absurd to suppose the officer would have to "lure" the suspect in any case. Anyone that refuses to cooperate with the police is asking to be arrested.

Gates acted like an asshole and deserved his arrest.  I'm just disappointed that the charges were dropped.

watch the tapes!! listen to the 911 call!!

now go crawl back under your rock.

swing hard in case you hit it.

 Kirsten used to put forth some reasonably intelligent arguments.  I never agreed with them, but at least viewers could see her logic and where her viewpoint was coming from.  Since she is now more in demand as a professional opinion giver, she threw her logic out the window and has resorted to spouting talking points.

I gave up on her during the presidential race when she was trying to equate Obama sitting in Wright's church for 20 years with McCain accepting John Hagee's endorsement.  She couldn't see the logic that McCain had never attended one of Hagee's sermons and that McCain was just trying to shortcut his way to the Evangelical vote.

How, with a promises of a new puppy? Candy? An ice cream cone? 

This is what drives me crazy about this story. People don't know the facts, and make stupid comments like that. 

Gates followed Crowley out the door, as Crowley was leaving. Crowley was down the stairs, and Gates was out on the porch yelling at him.

He lured him my a**. He couldn't get Gates to come out when he first arrived, it wasn't until he was leaving that Gates exited. Gates even SAID he came out, following Crowley, and he saw a ton of cops outside.

is that Gates KNEW he had been breaking into his door. It's not like he should have been surprised that there was a report that someone was breaking in the door, since he had been.

He was a jerk, plain and simple.

You can be abused by a law enforcement officer of any race, creed or color.  Maybe they will not know you are a huge supporter of them as victims. Maybe he or she will not care. Maybe they just had a fight with their life partner or got another notice from the finance company that they really do have to make payments monthly on the new whatever.

Gates has made a career Kirsten off his race. He cashes checks from his employer for his racism. He lives and breathes in a world of race importance to the detriment of all else.  He lives in a community with a black mayor. He lives in a state with a black governor. He lives in a nation with a very good friend who is black as president.

Honey, you're cute but really, really naive. 

Saw Powers yesterday on News Watch and was screaming at the TV, the broad is dizzy. She knows what Crowley was thinking, plotting to do, you know, all those things a corrupt cop will do, just like on TV. Crowley was going to lure him outside so he could arrest Gates. She's missed her calling, she should prognosticate the weather, maybe the stock market and become world renown.

She comes & goes, on one show, acting as a Political Analyst, she seems reasonable, her next appearance, say on Geraldo, is psychosis inducing.

Yep, just another pretty face...

                   These people ( dems) are like cockroaches. They come out of the walls, make an idiotic statement, and scurry away. It's over, Powers. Go back into the walls before WE, the People, spray for bugs.......

When it comes to poltical reasonableness, Powers seems to be bi-polar. In some discussions, it's like she realizes that she's become too accomodating in conceding points to conservatives, so, suddenly, she takes a hard left position that makes little sense, given her previous expressed opinions and her obvious intelligence (an attitude that she unfortunately likes to show off at times - but we discussed that yesterday).

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

Gates v Crowley, SCOTUS rules 5-4, Sotomayor swing vote

In an expected 5-4 ruling today, the Supreme Court decided that Sgt. Crowley was not discriminated against after being fired from his position on the Cambridge Police Force in 2010.

The swing vote Justice Sotomayor, issued the ruling which she read from the bench, in which she said that:

"While the actual facts of the case do not support our ruling in any way shape or form, the Empathy Factor, recently ratified in the 45th Amendment, left the court with no option but to rule in favor of the minority party, Mr Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Given the justifiable grievences from Mr Gates ancestors, who were subject to slavery, most likely by Mr Crawley's ancestors, it is clear that in any confrontation between a caucasion and a person of diverse colors, the court must always get empathy on with said person of diverse colors.

Lo -- from now unto the end of time. Amen. Praise the Lord. Yada yada yada."

Thanks Barack: from post-racial to most-racial in just six months!

I never thought of Powers as anything more than yet another dyed in the wool Libtard...but at least she's hot so she doesn't bother me that much.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 61% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory (yep...approval for Congress now at 39%...do you believe that!?).
