On Friday, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley denounced the conditions of Bradley Manning's detention as "ridiculous, counterproductive and stupid," forcing President Obama to address those comments in a Press Conference and defend the treatment of Manning. Today, CNN reports, Crowley has "abruptly resigned" under "pressure from White House officials because of controversial comments he made last week about the Bradley Manning case." In other words, he was forced to "resign" -- i.e., fired.
Denounce Farrakhan who hasn't killed, tortured or illegally detained anybody.
Denounce Rev. Wright as the "grumpy uncle" who hasn't killed, tortured or illegally detained anyone.
Fire Van Jones: Because some Republicans decided he was a "too black" "Communist" but hasn't killed, tortured or illegally detained anyone.
Fire Shirley Sherrod because some white Republican smeared her as a racist and God knows Obama can't have "black racists" in his administration. She hadn't killed, tortured or illegally detained anyone.
A recent book quotes Obama as saying:
His goal, he said, was to be as effective and empathetic a president as possible for all Americans. If he could accomplish that, it would advance racial progress for blacks more than anything else he could do.
Ye Olde "empathetic" black man. Don't get the white folk upset...the arguably most powerful man on the planet still thinks he has to make nice with white folk. Just think of how profound that is. With this kind of attitude it is entirely understandable that this guy would be fired for speaking words that easily could have come out of the mouth of Dr. King Jr.
Countdown to apologists in 3...2...1....
