As a freshman at Columbia University in 1970, future Attorney General Eric Holder participated in a five-day occupation of an abandoned Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) headquarters with a group of black students later described by the university’s Black Students’ Organization as “armed,” The Daily Caller has learned.
Department of Justice spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler has not responded to questions from The Daily Caller about whether Holder himself was armed — and if so, with what sort of weapon.
Holder was then among the leaders of the Student Afro-American Society (SAAS), which demanded that the former ROTC office be renamed the “Malcolm X Lounge.” The change, the group insisted, was to be made “in honor of a man who recognized the importance of territory as a basis for nationhood.”

Holder particularly “connected with four other African-American students” at Columbia, correspondent Wil S. Hylton wrote. “We took over the ROTC lounge in Hartley Hall and created the Malcolm X Lounge,” said a laughing Steve Sims, one of those students. Hylton described Sims as “the attorney general’s closest friend” and “a man Holder describes as his ‘consigliere.’” Read Holder's group in solidarity with indicted Black Panthers
Apology for the source.
Just goes to show. If an illegal alien from Indonesia can be president, a 60’s TERRORIST can head the DOJ.
Oh, for a minute I thought this read that Erik Holder had SERVED in ROTC ....oh, well ...guess not.
Really gets to me how these malcontents arise in our government, when we STILL have so many good men among us, so much more worthy of these posts. I just don’t get it.

I’m sure Holder was an Eagle Scout too.
And are more repressive and controling than those they sat-in against. (Nixon/Haldeman et al would be laughing to see this).
Communist then, Communist now.
Why are these people NEVER vetted?
Because those who should be doing the vetting (e.g. MSM) are no different from those in need of vetting. Therefore they see nothing to vette.
And those on our side have a voice only heard by our own side - singing to the choir.
There needs to be a way to change the media paradigm so some sense of "balance" can return.
WOW, I thought this BS was real, silly me !!! Now I am going back to bed, when I awake, kindly tell me this was a bad dream!
If our “senior staff” had to go through a simple security background check, they’d never get close to these positions.
::sigh::
Wow, they look almost innocent and normal in that picture. So sad, they will never know real love or the peace that comes from doing the right thing.
