Dude, I realize cops abuse their power, and shit like that...but at the same time, that's the way

it is. If you pop off at the mouth at a cop...you could end up in jail. How was this professor

"baited?"

they'd already established that Prof Gates was in his own home, and was clearly irate. instead of simply leaving, the arresting officer asked him to step outside the home to continue speaking...when outside, Gates continued speaking as he did within, only this tme he had given the pretext for a charge of "disturbing the peace"...literally, the proposition that Gates anger was "disturbing" the officers and neighbors that had gathered outside.

I have no sympathy for the idea that cops or government officials are superior humans to the rest of us, and i have only disgust for Tyranny. America has gotten very far from her roots in many ways, obeisance to armed authority being one of them. If any government agency wants to behave essentially like an armed gang abusing Americans, they need to be dealt with as such.

I did not know he was asked to step off his property. That does change things...I still cannot see

how the Prez putting in his 2 cents is appropriate...Oh well, it's all about He said, she said, and

the media eats that crap up!!

I thought I was the only one on here that watches Fox News...............Oreilly seems hes backed down a little over the Beck issue. Every now and then he takes the left's side i gues just to appease them so he doesnt get fired....now I see Why Rush never opened a tv show on Fox news

[lunacy(SSB)]

Beck and Hannity have single handedly covered the Acorn scandals enough to bring attention to the organizations corrupt use of our tax dollars even after the other major networks refuse to cover it...................and yes once again another whacked out organization that our great president has ties to.........if this was Bush, hewould have already been lynched on the front lawn......Im tired of the double standards.

Get ready for many more double standards....

I too agree we need to support Glenn Beck, he is the only one in the News Media actually standing up against Big Goverment, He is the only person standing up for Americans and the rights of citizens. I've watched Glenn for 2 years now. He is right Goverment needs to back off, as we can see from Goverments track record, Glenn said it right, doesn't matter if your a Dem or Rep, be here for the People of America. However, from what everyone has seen, Washington is trying to silence Beck because he is the only one calling washington out, making them look really bad, so I enjoy watching a corrupt org, back step when they are doing things wrong. On another note, how long did it take the main stream media and washington to look at Acorn.

It's not just Beck that is speaking out..the entire fox network is and of course they are under fire for it.

This a bit off note but if Obama was racist then that means he is racist towards his own mother and half of his family considering the fact that while Obama looks like a typical black but he is half white. Could be true though.

Although one thing i must say from personal experiences is that YES its a free country and we have freedom of speech you do need to weigh out what you are saying because your words can have very severe consequences on your job, personal friendships and family. When i was in my teenage years i was a big troublemaker and i always said things without giving a shit about it but i realized even though i might say things which i didnt really mean and i said them because i was pissed off or whatever those words did come back to haunt me later on.

At that point my dad taught me that whenever you are upset and about to say something stop for a second and think if the words you are about to throw out might negatively affect you later on. So yes its human nature to say things even though we might not really mean it and it would be completely protected by the first amendment but those words can have consequences later on such as losing your job, friends or whether if people think of you as a scumbag.
