CBS News Gets Their Smear On

US News • Views: 2,644

Charles Cooper of CBS News noticed our post about Barack Obama’s smear of the Cambridge Police Department, and mentioned us in this borderline incoherent editorial: When It’s Not So Black And White.

(CBS) As soon as President Obama was asked for the details in the case were destined to get pushed into the background.

Huh? Want to try that one again, Charles?

For good measure, Little Green Footballs accused President Obama of playing the race card.

What would you call it when the President of the United States says he doesn’t know the facts in a racially charged case, then proceeds to opine about it anyway — and labels the police “stupid,” accusing them of unjustly arresting Prof. Gates, even though he admits he doesn’t know what really happened?

Even the Associated Press seems to think Obama blew it on this one: Obama takes a stand on race — in a divisive case.

Making his first foray into a divisive racial issue, President Barack Obama sided with Henry Louis Gates Jr. after the black scholar’s arrest by a white police officer, a striking departure from Obama’s “post-racial” impartiality.

Saying that the white sergeant acted “stupidly” in arresting Gates, Obama inflamed an already volatile topic. Although he backed off that comment slightly Thursday, Obama stood by his assessment that the arrest of the Harvard professor “doesn’t make sense.”

After years of deftly defusing racial land mines, why did Obama speak out now? Because Gates is a friend and fellow Harvard man? Because racial profiling is an issue close to the president’s heart? Or could Obama, contemplating the idea of a white cop questioning a black man in his own home, have lost his legendary cool?

But when CBS News wants to get its smear on, they point the finger at LGF and say we “accused” Obama of playing the race card — when he very clearly did, and pretty much everyone admits it.

Oh well. I’ll get over it. After all, we’ve received a total of 8 visits all day from the link in Cooper’s editorial.

That’s right. Eight visits from the website of one of America’s major TV networks — the network that tried to tilt a presidential election with fraudulent documents.

Must be lonely at Black Rock these days.
