What is the Favorite Beer of Marxists?

Obama takes officer Crowley up on his offer to share a beer with Gates. This sort of down-homey, blue-collar tactic goes directly against Freepers' narrative about elitist libs. And they can't even use their usual out that Obama is lying, since newly anointed working-man hero Crowley is the one who suggested it!

Thus, you get some very amusing incoherence:

NormsRevenge goes for a flip, though insane retort:

Maybe [Crowley]’s gonna arrest O for impersonating a legal US citizen. sneaky cop.

I'm not sure what Kirkwood is saying, but I'm pretty sure it's horrifyingly sexist:

Oprah and Michelle should be there to serve peanuts.

Humidston goes for willful ignorance:

From the piece: "I am pleased that he, too, is eager to use my experience as a teaching moment, and if meeting Sgt. Crowley for a beer with the president will further that end, then I would be happy to oblige," Gates said in a statement..."

Sgt. Crowley needs to be taught??? I don't think the problem is with Crowley. Looks like the racists are the professor and Mr. Obama!

Yes, that is who Obama is planning to teach. It's tempting to call Freepers stupid, but really it's not even wilful ignorance, it's anger. I think they know how silly they sound, but at least they're lashing out. Come to think of it, that explains birther madness as well.

Glenn has a beer suggestion:

Colt 40.

Racism aside, there is actually a rather diverting joke-discussion of exactly what sort of beer a Marxist would drink.

kcvl goes for the "If this were Bush"...wrong subject, dude.

I think Obama should really cut down on the beer drinking. Had this been George Bush and talked about beer as much as Obama does they would be calling him an alcoholic. But the anointed one can do no wrong in the eyes of most of the press. Just watch a ‘news conference’ for proof.

THAT'S BECAUSE BUSH IS AN ALCOHOLIC!

Seruzawa wins the thread though:

Yeah. A beer. Except that Zero and Gates will sip Guiness while Crowley sits in the kitchen with the help drinking Icehouse.

Wow.
