A real class divide hidden behind the rhetoric of race.
MORE: No apology, but under the bus already? Obama: “Professor Gates also overreacted.”
ANOTHER UPDATE: Black cop at scene of arrest NOT on Professor Gates’ side. That’s the second Narrative Fail this week. Tough break!
AND ANOTHER ONE: The Legal Insurrection link above was wrong. Just fixed it. Sorry about that!
