Participants express personal preferences for different beer styles, with stout and lagers being highlighted. The conversation touches on the cultural significance of beer choices, with some humorously suggesting that the meeting could be a platform for broader discussions on race and politics. The mention of various beers like Bud Light, Blue Moon, and Red Stripe reflects the participants' opinions on the beverages associated with the individuals involved. The dialogue also critiques the media's portrayal of the incident and the implications of their choices, suggesting that the focus should be on reconciliation rather than the beer itself.

I predict that Gates and Crowley will go on a speaking tour or engage in some sort of public discourse, at Obama's request.

On the radio I heard mention of them getting together again. Unfortunately the only part that I heard was something about drinking coolaid or lemonade next time so as not to "give the wrong idea".

It's the Obama effect: One afternoon with Obama they are both drinking the Kool-Aid.

CNN had one man on film with his poster saying how they should be drinking, and I quote "Kool-Aid" and orange juice because drinking beer sends a bad message to kids. Last time I checked, this meeting wasn't to send a message to kids. Three grown men had a beer, move on with your life mr. protester, and find something worth protesting about next time.

Kool-aid is probably worse for your health than beer.

Well now I've seen everything. Last night on the McLaughlin group, John McLaughlin and Pat Buchanan, both staunch hard-right-wingers, described Obama's "let's have a beer" meeting as an example of his political genius!

While I may have thought this was true, I about choked when I heard Buchanan say it. When McLaughlin chimed in supporting the comment, it was too much to take. I am now convinced that this is all a dream.
