Holder to black leaders: ‘Sacred’ right to vote under attack

by on May 31, 2012

Rights are for citizens, you racist thug! What is Mr. Holder doing anyway speaking to a group of African American pastors? Are Asian American pastors not good enough to be in his company? Native Americans? Caucasian Americans? Hispanic Americans? All this coming from a guy who decides not to pursue cases which involve black perpetrators, a la Black Panthers, so he can help Fauxbama redistribute justice. The man is a living breathing miscarriage of justice.

Attorney General Eric Holder told a council of African American church leaders Wednesday that the “sacred” right to vote is under assault nationwide, with federal lawsuits and at least a dozen state laws that could hinder – or block – minorities’ access to the ballot box this fall.

“In my travels across this country, I’ve heard a consistent drumbeat of concern from citizens, who – often for the first time in their lives – now have reason to believe that we are failing to live up to one of our nation’s most noble ideals,” Holder said in a speech before the Council of Black Churches. The threats of legal assaults and lingering discrimination, he added, means that “some of the achievements that defined the civil rights movement now hang in the balance.”

As if to underscore the point, however, a voting rights group is worried that Holder and the Justice Department aren’t acting quickly enough to stop Florida’s Republican governor from continuing a purge of registered voters from the state’s rolls because they lack proof of U.S. citizenship.

    Does anyone find it a bit odd that Holder advocates with the Congressional Black Caucas and Black Churches to the exclusion of White and Hispanic churches and any other voter group? Is this how the Attorney General of the United States is supposed to act showing favoritism and bias towards a singular ethnic group? I thought he was the Attorney General, held responsible to see that the Laws of the Country were fairly, equally, and impartially administered.

    Racism however much lipstick you put on it is still Racism.
    Holder is a bigot, and guilty of misfeasance in Office and should be impeached.

    If he spent one tenth the time and effort investigating the murder of Brian Terry and the connection to Operation Fast and Furious as he does to not investigating the New Black Panther Party and other Racist groups the People in this country would be much better off.
