I'm f**kin tired of this Gates thing

[qwertyMike]

The guy was a ravin' looney.

The cop, well on a scale of 0 to 10 I would give him a 4

BUT

Well I'm on the verge of leaving DU over this. Not that I will be missed.

We have lesson to learn and the lesson is:

"Do not forget your keys"

Or leave a spare set under a planter.

I hate political correctness

[CatWoman]

1. I'm tired of this Qwerty Mike thing

he keeps posting negative comments about Prof. Gates, even tho the officer submitted a bogus police report.

BUH BYE!!!

[BlooInBloo]

5. Bah. You beat me to it.

[LaurenG]

2. OK

:popcorn:

[HughMoran]

3. You're just the latest to flip out over this for some reason

We're getting used to the psychos.

[fishnfla]

4. want to discuss this over a beer?

[HughMoran]

11. hah!

Nice :)

[Strong Atheist]

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. I bet you are.

Crowley apologists just keep getting more and more humiliated every day.

Fuck 'em.

[CatWoman]

9. and

the horse they rode in on.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

7. Tell Barney Fife I said hi.

[JI7]

people who are waiters, store clerks etc deal with "looney" people all the time

but they are expected to remain calm and not rise to that level.

police officers who are there to serve the community should be held to the same if not higher standard.

[Hello_Kitty]

38. Good point!

If Crowley worked at Walmart and so much as looked at a rude customer cross-eyed he'd be fired.

[seabeyond]

8. are you fuckin serious. the lesson is if you forget keys, expect arrest??? nt

[d_b]

10. zooom zooom here comes the big airplane open up sweetie

UNRECS

[Union Yes]

12. I had a beer to stand in solidarity!

[Fumesucker]

13. Gates had his keys and entered through the back door..

But I'm sure you knew that since you have so exhaustively perused the information on this incident. :eyes:

[BlooInBloo]

16. Cop defenders don't care about the truth. Instead, they care what the cop says.

[Fumesucker]

51. It has indeed been amusing watching some of them ignore the emerging facts..

Only to repeat outdated misinformation time after time.

[bdamomma]

14. me too, isn't there more important issues to focus on

the media is shameful.

[Xipe Totec]

15. Why call it the Gates thing

and not the Crowley thing?

If Crowley hadn't arrested Gates, we wouldn't be having this discussion....

Just asking... :shrug:

[Strong Atheist]

17. Hide thread is your

25. but more than 1 thread on this is created by him

[Strong Atheist]

28. Oh, I am not upset by either side. I was making a friendly suggestion to the

OP...

That is why he wants to put it behind him.

55. I love that movie.

:D

[CatWoman]

65. me too!!!

~ It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds.~ :)

[Tangerine LaBamba]

33. Mike,

now more than ever, the smart, sane, sentient, coherent people need you.

Your thinking is vital and clear and refreshing, and just because some opinions vented are moronic, all it means is that some people aren't quite what you and/or I might have thought they were.

A long time back, back in the sixties, the wonderful, wonderful sixties, a beloved college professor told me that "the hippies are going to grow up to become the biggest Puritans."

He was right.

But, Mike,we're still here.................

:yourock:

[CatWoman]

40. you? a "puritan"?

is that code for holier-than-thou-because-I'm-better?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

43. You're "Mike"?

And you can't read.

Too bad...................

[CatWoman]

44. nope

but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express...

[seabeyond]

48. lol

that was funny

[Tangerine LaBamba]

49. And you have

just as much credibility, expertise, and gravitas as that guy .........................

[EFerrari]

52. And the board should take your word that CatWoman has no cred here?

Good luck with that.

:rofl:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

57. And you're HERE, too!!!!

Looking for love from me, no matter where I post.

Your devotion, dogged and true, is noted with great pleasure. As a scampering little puppy, chasing after your object of love, you are, indeed, a true delight.............

[CatWoman]

62. as well as your intolerance, and overall nastiness

I'm rubber and you're glue!!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

64. And I love you, too..........

Really. I do....................

[EFerrari]

70. How bizarre is it that you believe active posters to DU are posting to you.

Do you also believe stop lights change for you?

:)

[Tangerine LaBamba]

74. SMOOOOOOOOOCH!!

You love me. You KNOW you love me.

You follow me around and tremble to get my attention. Since I feel bad about those rug burns on your chin, I deign to notice you, and to respond to you, because I believe that love like yours - dogged, devoted, unyielding, delusional love - should be rewarded..........

[EFerrari]

75. That's what I thought. Enjoy your own spectacle.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

78. You LOVE me so much -

you THINK you know my thoughts. THAT is SO dear. How can such devotion and dedication can be rewarded? Words are so inadequate, but it's clear you will settle for the smalllest, so this one, mah leeetle puppydog of the longing and needy pursuit, this one is for you:

[seabeyond]

79. wow. n/t

[EFerrari]

87. The Miss Scarlet Wears Her Drapes re-enactment must be going badly.

[seabeyond]

89. .

i even got embarrassed for her with a couple of these posts

[Number23]

98. "i even got embarrassed for her with a couple of these posts"

It's really too bad that she doesn't have the common sense, grace and intelligence to be as embarrassed by her own behavior and words as the rest of us are. But some people feel that anonymity gives them a pass to be an asshole.

And this pretending that EFerrari and other people "love" her and that that's why the post to her is so damn stupid and creepy it's hard to believe. And EFerrari isn't the only person I've seen her do that too, either. :scared:

[uppityperson]

95. No, the lightbulbs change on their own when they see him/her coming

[hfojvt]

101. I sure do

I swear there is some kind of technology that makes them turn yellow whenever I get within 50 feet of one. It cannot be a coincidence. :tinfoilhat: Also, I can make the Dallas Cowboys lose just by rooting for them.

[seabeyond]

60. wink. nt

[EFerrari]

61. It's like watching a trainwreck with Sarah Palin waving out the front car.

:rofl:

[seabeyond]

66. exactly

i like the rubber glue one too, but i already put a lol on the holiday express. feel like butting in putting another.

funny

this little subthread funny

[EFerrari]

50. I don't know which personality is posting here today

but all of them probably get your reference.

[EFerrari]

73. This 12 year veteran has no comment at all. n/t

[lexanman]

80. she reminds me of Sarah Palin for some reason

arrogant, narcissistic, condescending, and ignorant( the literal definition). I would not be suprised if it was Sarah Palin posting here. She loves the attention and she loves to attack others. I wouldn't even describe it as juvenile. It's really sociopathic behavior.

[seabeyond]

84. yup. the posts are odd. nt

[Number23]

99. Oh noes!! Sarah Palin is The Tangerine??

Good theory but I think Palin is about 3 decades younger.

[lexanman]

56. I have had the priviledge of chatting with you on other threads

I have yet to see a post that is even remotely progressive. You love to attack other posters and are very condescending. I ask this in all seriousness. Have you ever heard of Borderline Personality Disorder?

[qwertyMike]

81. Don't associate with me

or you will be called a troll, fuckwit, or fuckwad or something, or a freeper (arrgh), or something . . . . . . I forget the other things.

I think I fucked up. NOT

[Tangerine LaBamba]

83. Too late -

I already have my own fan club, so it just might be you who's in danger.

Although, I note you've already attracted the cream of the crop all on your own.

Well done.......................

[blondeatlast]

86. Switch that literacy button to "Input." The guy who did that is ON YOUR SIDE.

You really do have a comprehension problem.

Don't hurry, this promises to be one of the best flamousts ever; and I've seen some classics, including SeventhSon's.

[EFerrari]

34. You must hate facts, too. He didn't forget his keys n/t

[Hello_Kitty]

35. I hate when 'political correctness' is invoked as a cover for bigotry.

Whenever someone starts a sentence with "I know this isn't 'politically correct' to say but...." I know some bigoted and offensive shit is about to follow.

[EFerrari]

36. Word.

[blondeatlast]

37. Yup, but that's precisely why Frank Luntz recycled the term. nt

[KDFW]

46. Political correctness is not the 'cover' for bigotry, it is the embodiment of it.

Here is an example: If someone were to post unassailable statistics showing that some particular group commits more violent crimes per capita than the general population, that someone would be mercilessly attacked by the PC police for one or more very predictable reasons. That's just the way it is...and noting the fact is not innately politically incorrect no matter what the whiners may say.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

53. Rex? That you?

"If someone were to post unassailable statistics showing that some particular group commits more violent crimes per capita"

There are no such statistics. There are only statistics that show blacks are more likely to be arrested by racist cops.

63. Frankie Luntz, is that you? I know you think the Left needs your services but here's news:

We have the House, the Senate, and the White House. All without your help.

We won, you aren't a genius. Now go (aw shycks, I won't say it, it isn't polite).

42. He had his keys.

Or can't you read. He went in through the back door. The front door was stuck. Gee!

[Ignis]

45. So Pres. Obama invited a raving looney to have a beer?

That's an interesting idea.

I'm curious to hear how the officers in the Rodney King beating did on your 1 - 10 scale. 3ish?

71. Bye.

Different priorities, I guess.

96. Sing it.

[blondeatlast]

77. Cop swears an oath to uphold law, violates oath, lies on report, brags about it

in PUBLIC e-mail--but it's a "Gates thing?"

I know all I need to know about you now. I won't bother with the "ignore," I want to see you flame out.

[seabeyond]

85. phold law, violates oath, lies on report, brags ... pisses me off. we will pretend now

that nothing happened.

another liar, another in power that lies, gets away with it

and the nation knows. we see and still... pretend all is well

[jeffrey_X]

90. HE HAD HIS KEYS!

understand and know the facts.

It helps.

[winyanstaz]

91. So now your "looney" if you try to protect your civil rights

and resent being abused in your own home? sheesh...Gates was in the right..the cop was in the wrong and a liar to boot. Get over it.

[timeforpeace]

93. "This Gates thing" as you so casually put it defines the Obama presidency.

[tnlefty]

94. I want Crowley fired,

and then shot in the ass with a cannon.

Disclaimer: In my household the phrase, "shot in the ass with a cannon", denotes a form of punishment.

What, pray tell, does this have to do with political correctness? Cops in my house, I show ID (two forms) and I'm arrested for getting upset with a cop?

Are you kidding me, I'm a white woman, and I would've been pissed. And keep in mind that these days just asking a cop what they're doing just may get a person into trouble.

Flamebait, fail.

[TexasObserver]

97. Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.

You might try using HIDE THREAD, or IGNORE, or maybe just exercising a little good old fashion tolerance for others who don't agree with you.

But if not, you won't be missed.

buh bye

[Caliman73]

100. Yeh fuck that! Why should we have to challenge our biases and have understanding!?!

"I hate political correctness." Yeah man yeah!!!

If I want to call a Black person a jungle bunny what's wrong with it? I should be able to think of all women as sluts and bitches if I want cause all their good for is cooking and fucking. Mexicans are lazy and stupid, they're all wetbacks...yeah and don't get me started on the Jews man, those guys own everything and have the nerve to lie about being victimized and mass murdered? Screw those guys!! :sarcasm:

Imagine trying to get people to think of others in non-stereotypical and non-degrading ways? That is fucking fascism man!! :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

I hear there is a site out there where people dislike political correctness just like you. They also think that Gates is a lunatic and that Obama was way out of line. In fact they don't even think he is a citizen. I forget the name though...something about free....free..I don't know something like that. Good luck.

[JVS]

102. Calling out an asshole cop on his assholery isn't being politically correct

It's just being correct
