Beck himself: Fri Jul, 24 2009 Gates Dismissed
Now, I say that Gates is a ****** ******. It has nothing to do with his conduct in or around his home, which is all his business and he is completely and exclusively welcome to it. It's about his resort to the charge of race as motive in the ****** ******* cop. I really am not interested in hearing about Gates' eminence or any of the rest of it while little nobodies are being jack-booted around by these impudent bastards all over the country, every day.
*If Gates finds it necessary, for whatever reasoning, to stake himself to race in a matter like this, then he can have it and be as small and ridiculous as he wants to be. However, he had a moment to step out front on a far grander principle. Just mark it that he chose to play it like a punk. His choice must say a great deal for his intellect and values.*
from a comment BB saw at Reason.com Wed Jul, 22 2009 Some "Neighbor"
"In all the accounts of this stupid **** I've read in the media, not one of them has mentioned the ******* stupidity of the *******ish neighbor for 1) Not recognizing the supposedly famous, or at least locally well-known, occupant of the house that he or she suspected was being burgled, and 2) Defaulting to calling the cops instead of seeing perhaps he (or she) could lend a hand."
That is the most incisive remark on the Henry Louis Gates affair that I've seen yet. When you think about it, it really is deplorable what a paper-thin and quivering people have come to occupy this land now.
