Law Enforcement: The attorney general defends the Justice Department's mishandling of the New Black Panther voter intimidation case in racial terms at the same time he says race had nothing to do with it.
Post-racial politics and color-blind justice took a hit Tuesday during a House subcommittee hearing into Justice's failure to pursue a clear-cut case of voter intimidation by members of the New Black Panther Party in the 2008 election.
The hearing also involved the department's documented failure to cooperate with a Civil Rights Commission investigation into the matter.
Attorney General Eric Holder took umbrage at a comment about the case read by Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, in which former Democratic activist Bartle Bull, a former civil rights lawyer and publisher of the left-wing Village Voice, called it "the most blatant form of voter intimidation I've ever seen."
Holder also reacted to Culberson's assertion that there was "clearly evidence, overwhelming evidence, that your Department of Justice refuses to protect the rights of anybody other than African-Americans to vote. There's a pattern of a double standard here."
Holder said it was insulting to compare voter intimidation to the outright denial of the right to vote that the civil rights movement fought to overcome. To describe the New Black Panther case "in those terms," he said, "does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line, who risked all, for my people."

Louie F one of his people ?
HIS people??????????
One would think that the highest law enforcement official in the nation would consider the AMERICAN people his people.
What a jackwagon.
Gettin the picture now of what ‘social justice’ means? Whites haven’t ‘suffered’ enough yet. But Obama and Holder mean to ‘change’ that.
Of course this generation had nothing to do with it all...doesn’t matter to them. It’s racial. For them it’s not about being equal or equality or justice for all. It’s about getting even and taking revenge on this generation and the generations to come.
Any other group of non-black people holding truncheons outside of a voting place would be rotting in prison now.
Why should a minority like them be jacking the majority?
Kill Whitey and then freak out when the welfare checks stop.
"It....Could.....WORK!!!!!
Great picture and very fitting
0bungawunga and Holder have taken this nation back to a pre-Civil Rights Act standing. Once again Americans are no longer equal before the law.
That is the poster boy for this administration’s policies alrighty!
;-\
When Alexis de Tocqueville was in Philadelphia on election day he noticed no black men were voting and thought they weren't allowed to vote, and was told that they could legally vote, but were afraid to come to the polls. For Holder it wouldn't be a problem if the reverse came true, that the only people who dared to vote in Philadelphia were "his people." After all, the civil rights laws are only meant to protect black people.
Thank you for your professional opinion Dr. Frankensteeeeeen!!!! Very funny!!
Hmmmm. The minority ruling over the majority?
Where was it I heard of that....
Oh yeah. South Africa. Apartheid.
The shoe smells just as bad when worn on the other foot, imho.
Ping
Of course not..... just 95% of them, Obama’s people.
“0bungawunga”. LMAO
