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."

Somehow, I suspect that these folks will suffer the same fate as those inconvenient inspectors general.

Barack Hussein Obama And The Culture Of Corruption

Like the New Black Panthers, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson's corruption case has been dropped by the Obama administration.

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and former high-ranking members of his administration won't be criminally charged in a yearlong federal investigation into pay-to-play allegations involving one of the Democratic governor's large political donors, someone familiar with the case said.

The decision not to pursue indictments was made by top Justice Department officials, according to a person familiar with the investigation, who asked not to be identified because federal officials had not disclosed results of the probe.

"It's over. There's nothing. It was killed in Washington," the person told The Associated Press.

Henry Louis Gates Provides A Teachable Moment For Eric Holder

America had the opening exchange in that honest and frank conversation on race that Attorney General Eric Holder challenged Americans to engage in last February. But I doubt that he liked the results.

Shortly after his confirmation as United States Attorney General, Eric Holder condemned America as a “nation of cowards.”

“Though race-related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion, and though there remain many unresolved racial issues in this nation, we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about things racial,” he said.

“Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot in things racial, we have always been, and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards. This is truly sad. Given all that we as a nation went through during the civil rights struggle, it is hard for me to accept that the result of those efforts was to create an America that is more prosperous, more positively race-conscious, and yet is voluntarily socially segregated.”

President Barack Obama shared Holder’s view of America when, last week ago, he described the arrest of his friend and fellow race baiter Henry Louis Gates as stupid. His working assumption was that his friend could only have been treated thus because of the color of his skin. This was also Gates’ view. To Obama, the truth was so self-evident that he didn’t even need to be fully informed of the circumstances. The conversation that followed exposed the hollowness of the racial-industrial complex that now defines the modern civil rights movement.

The truth is that Henry Louis Gates, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and yes, Eric Holder and Barack Obama need to preserve the facade that America is a racist country for personal and political purposes. What would Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton do for a living without their racial protection rackets? The culture of victimhood keeps African-American votes safely in the pocket of Democrats.

Sadly the racialism of Henry Louis Gates and the other aforementioned indignitaries does harm to the very people whose cause they pretend to champion. Too many people have a vested interest in keeping African-Americans in their place and blaming whitey for their condition.

I recall reading a where-are-they-now story in Newsweek magazine about a survivor of Hurricane Katrina. The woman was about 30 years old and had born numerous children without benefit of marriage or even confidence of paternity. She had not attended high school, let alone graduated. But, Newsweek told us with a journalistic straight face, she was going to get her life together and become a nurse.

Oh really?

To become a nurse, this woman would have to do something she hadn’t done in nearly 20 years – attend school. She would have to graduate from high school, gain admission to college, and then get admitted to nursing school, no mean feat. Then she would have to graduate from nursing school. Assuming that she really could muster the personal discipline that had eluded her for her entire life, she would be looking at about a decade of full time schooling.

That’s not likely to happen. But, if she fails, she has a carefully crafted, pre-fabricated excuse to fall back upon. She was discriminated against. Jesse Jackson told her so. Al Sharpton agrees. The foundation of Henry Louis Gates’ Harvard career was raised upon that bedrock. That assumption would be the starting point for any conversation on race that would satisfy Eric Holder’s definition of courage.

Excuses are seductive and addictive because they offer relief from personal responsibility. But people who resort easily to excuses do not succeed. Sports coaches who routinely blame their losses on the officiating don’t win many games. By supplying prefabricated excuses for failure, the Henry Louis Gates’ of the world do far more to keep their people down than The Man ever could.

This episode also proved that African-Americans aren’t the only ones vulnerable to racial profiling. The Cambridge police sergeant who arrested Gates was a victim of profiling, as was the woman who made the 911 phone call reporting a break in. In fact, racial profiling against people of pallor has become the only socially acceptable racism permitted and it’s practiced at the highest levels of government.

How’s that for honesty Mr. Holder?

Stonewall: Does Holder Think He Can Keep This Up For Four Years?

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.

Democrat Sharia

Alcee Hasting, (D-impeached) thinks it's a good idea

[L]egislation quietly making its way through Congress would give the White House power to categorize political opponents as hate groups and even send Americans to detention centers on abandoned military bases.

Rep. Alcee Hastings - the impeached Florida judge Nancy Pelosi tried to install as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee until her own party members rebelled - introduced an amendment to the defense authorization bill that gives Attorney General Eric Holder sole discretion to label groups that oppose government policy on guns, abortion, immigration, states' rights, or a host of other issues.

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?

Obama: This Is Not The Eric Holder I Knew

Another close Barack Hussein Obama associate is linked to another scandal. And, just like the last one, there's really no excuse for not knowing about it ahead of time.

The criticism Thursday centered on Obama adviser Eric H. Holder Jr., who is scrutinizing candidates to be the Democratic presumptive presidential nominee's running mate. As deputy attorney general under President Clinton, Mr. Holder reviewed the last-minute pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich.

Charged with 51 counts of fraud, tax evasion and illegally trading with Iran, Mr. Rich fled to Switzerland in 1983 but won a pardon from Mr. Clinton in 2001. The decision prompted a congressional investigation because Mr. Rich's wife was a major Democratic donor and prosecutors said they were never consulted.

Indicted by then-U.S. Attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Rich failed to return to the U.S. following the indictment and was on the FBI's Most Wanted list for several years. Mr. Holder had given a "neutral, leaning towards favorable" opinion of the pardon that led directly to the pardoning of Mr. Rich on Mr. Clinton's last day in office.

"I think it is a matter of record that Mr. Holder recommended the pardoning of Mr. Rich," Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, told reporters Thursday.

And then there's this tripe.
