		<description>Sue his own kin? The Sergeant and Gates are related.
LOL
Can&#039;t make this stuff up.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=8195564&amp;page=1

Now - if the good Professor sues, there goes the annual family reunions, the walks on the beach on Martha&#039;s Vineyard, the many green Irish beers they&#039;ll be sharing on St Patrick&#039;s Day.

Wonder how many of my fellow Irishmen (ladies too) on this blog are related to Gates :-O</description>

		<description>If lawsuits are social justice, then counter suits are even MORE socially just.

These &quot;ethicists&quot; are so full of c-r-a-p they stink to high heaven.</description>

		<description>&quot;has anybody noticed that each time we are introduced to a new fried of Obamy, he or she is perfectly in the mold of the friends we already knew.&quot;

Yes, socialists and tax cheats.</description>

		<description>Gates is a selfish pig, who will hurt the community tax-payers. Police in my town would have done the same to a white person, acting liking disorderly and threatening. That&#039;s why people live here. Safety is a priority. I think everyone knows police can over do it, but Gates asked for it.  Everyone knows you cooperate with police and don&#039;t go nuts like Gate did. He needs to get over it. 
If Gates had been white and poor , the police never would have dropped the charges.  Gate got off easy because of he was black and wealthy.</description>

		<description>Randy Cohen used to be one of David Letterman&#039;s writers.  If I knew only this about him, I might think this piece was a nice bit of satire.  I&#039;ve read his column before, however (my local paper carries it on Sunday) and unfortunately (judging from some of his other goofy ideas) he&#039;s dead serious.  Maybe the real joke is that the NYT hired this guy as an &quot;ethicist&quot;.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve always been dubious of the claim that lawsuits are about the society at large.  It seems to me when you file a lawsuit at the top of the page there&#039;s a plaintiff and a defendent and that to me is who&#039;s involved.  I&#039;ve never seen a lawsuit that said &quot;a greater sense of morality vs. eckhardt&quot;, and I don&#039;t think I soon will.</description>

		<description>I think that lady&#039;s defense of her friend and colleague will be pivotal in the public perception of Bam, and represents the possibility that there may even be a small defection of black support for The One.</description>

		<description>Oh, and why is encouraging frivolous lawsuits ethical? Lawsuits are in and of themselves a shakedown and intimidation tactic. 

But let&#039;s explore that for a moment..what if Sgt. Crowley sued Gates? Sure, maybe he wouldn&#039;t prevail. But it could be a searing indictment of the racial grievance business--a disclosure of their tactics and network. It could go all the way to the White House! A game-changer!

I am not a fan of lawsuits. Heaven knows whatever ability court proceedings have ever had to positively change the culture have not only been diluted but also outweighed by the negative impact of a few (Roe v. Wade, Kelo v. New London to name just two). But it seems to me that if anyone may have a legitimate grievance here, it&#039;s the guy who has to walk the beat after having been maligned as &quot;racist&quot; by Gates and &quot;stupid&quot; by the president.</description>

		<description>In one respect, I&#039;m sort of glad this is all happening.  On a personal level, I&#039;ve been involved in minor racial &quot;skirmishes&quot; that when brought forward had no merit.  

Now it&#039;s happening on a &quot;national&#039; level (for lack of a better way to put it) and based, in part, on the interview on CNN with one of Crowley&#039;s fellow officers, a black female, I think headway is being made in a good way.  She denounced both Gates and the president saying that Gates was the instigator and that she voted for Blammo, but based on his behavior, never again.

Hopefully this groundswell of critical thinking will grow and maybe America will slowly return to a place where logic prevails before the hippies arrived and got everyone thinking that what&#039;s cool and hip is what&#039;s right.</description>

		<description>&quot;There must be a lot of money in teaching African-American studies&quot;

That&#039;s not his job.  It&#039;s a hobby.

Race-baiting and financial fraud are his real jobs.   And we know those pay very well.

And by the way, has anybody noticed that each time we are introduced to a new fried of Obamy, he or she is perfectly in the mold of the friends we already knew.

In science, if you develop a theory, and all of the known facts fit the theory, it quickly moves out of the realm of theory and into the realm of scientific fact.

Let&#039;s see if we can develop a theory about the Moron&#039;s friends.</description>

		<description>NC Mom, that&#039;s where you got it wrong.  It&#039;s ethnics not ethics.

They were playing the 911 tape on the local news this morning and his race is never brought into it.  In fact race is never brought into it at all until Gates brings it in.  I guess Jesse and Al are probably advising him.</description>

		<description>Oh, that&#039;s it! There haven&#039;t been enough lawsuits yet! More race-baiting, fear-mongering, shakedown and takedown of the deepest pockets in America. Then we won&#039;t have the good professor overreacting to a policeman who is simply doing his job anymore.

This guy is an ethics expert? I guess I used to believe that word meant something but after seeing this guy&#039;s work, seeing who gets called out on ethics violations inside the beltway and who doesn&#039;t, I confess I have no clue what that word really means.</description>
