Civil Rights Commission Wants Answers From Racist Holder

Here's another story for the New York Times double secret new media editor to bring his bosses up to speed on.

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights asked Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Wednesday to name a Justice Department official to oversee the production of what it called "our overdue information requests" for documents in the dismissal of a civil complaint against members of the New Black Panther Party accused of disrupting a Philadelphia polling place in the November elections.

Commission Chairman Gerald A. Reynolds said in a letter that the department has been "largely non-responsive" to requests for information since questions about the dismissal were first raised in June and had turned over "none of the documents" being sought.

It's a good thing that the Obama Justice Department has been "de-politicized."

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is demanding that the Justice Department explain why it recently dismissed a civil complaint against members of the New Black Panther Party who disrupted a Philadelphia polling place during last year's election, saying the department has offered only "weak justifications."

Commission Chairman Gerald A. Reynolds, a former deputy associate attorney general under President George W. Bush, said he fears the legal precedent set by the department in its May decision to drop the case might encourage "other hate groups" to act similarly at polling locations in the future.

Mr. Reynolds also charged that other groups might not have been treated so leniently.

"If you swap out the New Black Panther Party in this case for neo-Nazi groups or the Ku Klux Klan, you likely would have had a different outcome," he told The Washington Times in a telephone interview Monday.

"A single law, a single rule should be applied across the board. We are communicating with the department in hopes of gaining a better understanding of just what happened."

Meanwhile, not a word of this in either the Washington Post or the New York Times. Nothing on the CNN website or the MSNBC website.

Department Of Injustice: The New Black Panthers

When group of armed thugs surrounded a Philadelphia polling place, the episode was videotaped and the case should have resulted in a slam dunk voting rights act violation. But Barack Obama's political appointments at the Justice Department ordered that charges be dropped. And, it seems that the decision was taken at the highest levels at Justice.



Well, the Black Panthers did have their own web page on Obama's campaign server.

Much more here.

Eric Holder is stonewalling a congressional investigation into his office's decision to drop charges against members of the Black Panthers who were intimidating voters in Philadelphia.



This can't be too surprising. After all, the Black Panthers did have their own web page on Barack Obama's campaign servers.

What Does It Take To Offend A Democrat?

Unless your name is Eric Holder, threatening voters with clubs is offensive.

A partisan divide has made the commission contentious in recent years. Yet the Department of Justice's decision to forfeit its voter-intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party and three individual defendants drew a 6-0 vote with one abstention by the commission. What unified the commission was outrage at the Justice Department for letting the Black Panthers off the hook.

The Civil Rights Commission has sent two letters -- on June 16 and June 22 -- to Loretta King, acting assistant attorney general for the civil rights division, asking for an explanation, but it has not received a response. Rep. Frank R. Wolf, Virginia Republican, sent a June 8 letter demanding an explanation, but the congressman told us he has yet to receive an answer from the department one month later.

The Civil Rights Commission's first letter expressed its "great confusion" over the department's decision. After all, "defendants were caught on video blocking access to the polls, and physically threatening and verbally harassing voters during the November 4, 2008 general election." The video showed "one of them actually brandished a nightstick in plain view of voters and poll observers ... defendants 'made statements containing racial threats and racial insults.' "

What? Wasn't there enough evidence?

The Black Panthers: They're Back!

Yep, after a brief exile, the Black Panther Party is back on Obama's campaign website.

Barack and The Black Panthers

Once again, Obama's infallible judgment fails him.

I mean honestly, how good does your judgment have to be to know what the Black Panthers are all about?

Barack Obama and The Black Panthers

Once again Obama's poor judgment is revealed - again. I expect Obama to deny that he ever knew anything about the Black Panthers, etc. etc. etc.

Of course, if Barack Obama really wanted to know something about the Black Panthers, it's not that hard to find.
