The Congressional Black Caucus is planning to stage a walkout during tomorrow's House vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt over the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal, according to a letter that is being circulated among Democratic members of Congress.
“We adamantly oppose this partisan attack and refuse to participate in any vote that would tarnish the image of Congress or of an attorney general who has done nothing but work tirelessly to protect the rights of the American people," the Black Caucus members wrote in the letter, which was obtained by several news outlets. “We cannot and will not participate in a vote to hold the Attorney General in contempt."
The letter, which was sent to the Hispanic, Asian, and Progressive Caucuses, calls on members to walk off the House floor during tomorrow's vote, and join the Black Caucus for a press conference on the steps of the Capitol Building during the roll call.
The House Rules Committee voted along party lines Wednesday to send the contempt measure to the House floor, designating two hours and 20 minutes for debate Thursday, according to The Hill.

hmmm... some similarities here... and a difference. See the white guy in the back right of the second picture?
Yes, Allen West is a member of the CBC. But, I don’t think he’ll be joining the Commies!
The "Race Card" has expired, and this crap is old.
I watched a bit of the hearings yesterday on the process to get to a vote in the house.
Alicee Hastings was preaching to Issa about the process and fairness...
Of all people A IMPEACHED corrupt former Judge.
The CBC...keeping racism alive into the 21st Century!
Wonder if they’ll sing “We Shall Overcome” on their way out??? Muckin’ Forons.
Is Lt. Col. West even a member of the CBC?
They’ve frozen out black conservatives before, who was that Rep. Watt from Oklahoma the CBC refused entry to, until the storm of cries of “HYPOCRITES!” forced them to relent?
Anyway, it’ll be fun to watch the CBC, led by that IDIOT James Clyburn who misrepresents us here in South Carolina, take their marbles & storm out of the chamber. I hope they leave giving the clenched fist salute & singing “Na na na na, na na na na, Hey, Hey, goodbye!”
Thats exactly what they’re saying. That because of slavery, they should be held to lower standards than whites. And white liberals say the same thing.
“Walter E. Williams Column: Racial Double Standards”
“Back in 2009, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said we were “a nation of cowards” on matters of race. Permit me to be brave and run a few assertions by you just to see whether we’re on the same page. There should be two standards for civilized conduct: one for whites, which is higher, and another for blacks, which is lower. In other words, in the name of justice and fair play, blacks should not be held accountable to the same standards that whites are and should not be criticized for conduct that we’d deem disgusting and racist if said or done by whites.”
So, who’s going to have the balls to stand up and state the real reason they are supporting Holder?
The left has no qualms about insinuating racism in any issue whatsoever. Time to grow a spine and throw it back at them.
Why don’t they just keep walking and never come back. America will be a better place without them. They are a bunch of cry-baby, degenerate, criminal, anti-American, sodomite-loving Commie racists.
What’s JJ doing there ?
Does this mean that the Caucasian Caucus will remain?
Oh, wait, they can’t have a Caucasian Caucus because it would be racist.
