Listening to Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama address Al Sharpton’s National Action Network 16th annual convention last week, one would think Americans were living in the year 1964 not 2014. Holder pulled the race card blaming Republicans for criticizing him and Obama, merely because they’re black.
Speaking prior to Obama, Holder suggested to the all black crowd that both he and the president had been treated badly by Republicans because they are black.
“It has nothing to do with me, forget that. What attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?”
The fact is, Holder has done a bad job as attorney general and unlike his fans within the black community like Sharpton, Republicans haven’t given him or Obama a free pass simply because their the first blacks serving in their roles. Remember Holder is the same attorney general who concocted the idea to give 9/11 terrorists a civilian trial in New York City, where the horror occurred.
Holder refused to respond to subpoenas over the Justice Department’s Fast and Furious botched gun-running scheme and as House Speaker John Boehner said, Holder refuses to get to the bottom of the IRS scandal or what exactly happened in Benghazi. Why not appoint independent counsels to investigate both?
In his April 11th remarks to the National Action Network, Obama declared blacks are still “woe is me” victims whose voting rights are being infringed upon with 21st voter ID laws.
“But the stark, simple truth is this: The right to vote is threatened today in a way that it has not been since the Voting Rights Act became law nearly five decades ago. Across the country, Republicans have led efforts to pass laws making it harder, not easier, for people to vote,” declared Obama.
How are laws that ask a person to verify his identity at the ballot box, racist? When you go to the bank and cash a check, you have to show a picture ID and when you board a plane or enter buildings in major cities like Washington or New York City.
Obama alleged, “It is wrong to make a senior citizen who no longer has a driver’s license jump through hoops and have to pay money just to exercise the rights she has cherished for a lifetime.” States with voter ID laws offer free state-issued IDs and many provide seniors with free transportation to places like the Department of Motor Vehicles that issue the IDs.
Democrats always love talking down to blacks, making the demeaning argument that blacks are disproportionately impacted by voter ID laws and somehow can’t get IDs to vote like whites. This is insulting.
Voter fraud does and can occur. When I voted recently in DC, I wasn’t asked to show an ID but just spout off my name and address. I could have just easily looked up a name and address in the phone book and voted as someone else.
Prior to the 1965 Voting Rights Act, and before that during Reconstruction, it was racist southern Democrats who suppressed the black vote with literacy tests, poll taxes, death threats and lynchings. Even though Holder and his Democrat cohorts love calling voter ID laws the modern Jim Crow, we don’t see any of that today.
If the voter laws in 34 states are racist, why did black voter turnout surpass whites in 2012?
Why did black voter turnout exceed white voter turnout after Georgia, Indiana and Tennessee passed strict voter ID laws, according to the US Census Bureau study “The Diversifying Electorate—Voting rates by Race and Hispanic Origin in 2012.”
Finally, if today’s voter ID laws are truly racist why in 2013 did the Supreme Court rule the preclearance section of the Voting Rights Act was unconstitutional? In its ruling, the court said that voting rates for blacks in former racist southern states were not only equal to whites but in some states surpassed whites.
It’s not surprising Obama would misrepresent the facts about voter ID laws to Al Sharpton’s all black National Action Network crowd. Good old Al’s organization is nothing but a front group to help Sharpton line his pockets with profit all in the name of falsely accusing businesses, governments and people of racism.
If someone didn’t know which century he was living in and only heard Obama and Holder’s speeches, he wouldn’t believe America had elected the first black President of the United States, not once but twice. That same person also might not imagine the country had its first black attorney general. Yet in the face of this reality, the dynamic duo of Obama and Holder keep misleading black Americans and distorting the strides our country has made 50 years since President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law.
OBAMA ON RACE RELATIONS AND ISLAM
From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”.
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure..... THE OTHER RACE WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT; MENACING, ALIEN, AND APART”.
From ‘Dreams of My Father’, “I CEASED TO ADVERTISE MY MOTHER’S RACE AT ABOUT 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites”
From Dreams Of My Father, “NEVER EMULATE THE WHITE MAN and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. IT WAS INTO MY FATHER’S IMAGE, THE BLACK MAN, SON OF AFRICA, THAT I’D PACKED ALL THE ATTRIBUTES I SOUGHT IN MYSELF..”
From Dreams Of My Father: “THAT HATE HADN’T GONE AWAY,” he wrote, blaming “WHITE PEOPLE- SOME CRUEL, SOME IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”
From Dreams Of My Father; “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “IT REMAINED NECESSARY TO PROVE WHICH SIDE YOU WERE ON, TO SHOW YOUR LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names”
From Dreams Of My Father, “I HAD GROWN ACCUSTOMED EVERYWHERE TO SUSPICION BETWEEN THE RACES”.
He tells us in his books of his love and admiration of Islam: Quote from Barack Obama’s book, Dreams Of My Father: “THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, THOUGH, WAS MY [half brother], ROY..HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM”.
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “IN INDONESIA, I SPEND TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL” “..I STUDIED THE KORAN..”
From ‘Audacity of Hope: “LOLO (Obama’s step father) FOLLOWED ISLAM....”I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE”.
From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION..”
From The Audacity Of Hope, “WE ARE NO LONGER JUST A CHRISTIAN NATION, we are also a Jewish nation, a MUSLIM NATION, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”
And if THAT isn’t enough, there’s his Muslim past. He was BORN into a long line of Muslims- and spent his formative years as the stepson of a practicing Muslim.- who without a doubt did his duty and sent his son to Muslim school and worship. Obama so much as admitted this in his book and today his handlers deny it!
What about the 26 or so years before he ‘joined’ a ‘Christian’ church? He states the joined the church and is a Christian, but where is his baptismal record? None can be found. A man undercover called the church and said he was a Muslim and asked if he could join. The answer was yes. They told him they had many Muslim members. (!!!)
Obama went to Kenya to campaign for his cousin, the Muslim-backed terrorist, Odinga, who caused riots when he lost the presidential election- riots that caused the deaths of over 1500, including 50 burned alive when a Christian church was burned down. Obama campaigned for this man! But then he told us he’d ‘stand with the Muslims’.
Then there is his pimping the illegal aliens: Obama’s speech to La Raza: (La Raza (The Race), Largest Hispanic organization in the U.S. Lobbies for racial preferences, bilingual education, stricter hate crimes laws, mass immigration, and amnesty for illegal aliens ) Obama said the recent Senate immigration debate “was both ugly and racist in a way we haven’t see since the struggle for civil rights.” !! Obama told La Raza that the mass protests lately of for immigration rights of Mexicans is equal in greatness to the civil rights protest of the past!!
Obama supports La Raza’s, the “DREAM Act,” which would mandate states to offer in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens — thus providing them with benefits not available to U.S. citizens from other states, as well as amnesty and other atrocities. Obama urged Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign the Dream act.(Schwarzenegger vetoed a similar measure last year.)
OK, then. Let’s talk about race.
Percentage of world population that is “White”
1900: 35%
2000: 8%
What are Obama and Holder complaining about, again?
Great compilation. Thanks.
We criticize them because they are lawless. And Marxist. And fascist. And racist. And clueless. And un-American.
we are right to criticize them
Damned straight.
Holder’s Department of Justice is racist, lawless
The Washington Times - August 20, 2013 –
Citizen Warrior by Tiffany Madison
DALLAS, August 20th, 2013 – In a series of interviews published by the Daily Caller, J. Christian Adams, a former lawyer turned whistle-blower paints an alarming picture of racism and selective justice within the culture of Eric
Holder’s Department of Justice.
Adams worked in the Civil Rights Division from 2005 to 2010, and his testimony was key during the Commission on Civil Rights’ investigation of 2008’s New Black Party voter intimidation scandal. Since resigning, he has relentlessly criticized the Department of Justice for institutionalizing racism through selective implementation of laws to favor minority groups.
His book, “Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department ”, and subsequent columns for PJ Media address the endemic corruption within the Department while painstakingly articulating the anatomy of its discriminatory practices. The intimate knowledge Adams gained during his tenure paint a damning picture of political favoritism and selective prosecutions based on race.
Adams explains that the unique American experiment is under threat like never before. “What’s unique about our country, about America, is we’re the first country ever founded for the principle that every individual has individual dignity, divine inspired individual dignity, to be treated by their government as an individual, not differently than somebody whose brother is an earl,” he said.
“These people in power reject at its core that principle. They believe that power is given out based on political donations, ideology, opposition to coal — name it. It’s something that you gain favor and are treated differently by your government based on who you are, and that’s so anti-American.”
According to Adams, government institutions that blatantly twist the law for political advantage are no longer the marks of despotic regimes, but the standard for the United States.
“We’re in a different kind of world now where the left is on the march through the institutions, through the government, through the academy, and they have brass knuckles,” he said. “And they have their media outlets, and they have Media Matters, and MSNBC, and ThinkProgress and George Soros, and I can go down the list. And the right is just getting started. And they don’t have the same sorts of institutional weaponry that the left does. So it becomes very easy to deceive when your arsenal is bigger. And I think that was the problem in the last election.”
It is obvious Adams feels passionately that collectivism and thuggish tactics have perverted America’s institutions, but equally disturbing are his remarks regarding the 2008 New Black Panther Party case. Adams claims that not only were the voter intimidation charges against the Party dropped due to racial favoritism, but he was personally ordered to ignore a subpoena from the Civil Rights Commission regarding their investigation. In blatant violation of federal statutes, the subpoena was blocked by the Department of Justice.
“They said that if you comply with the subpoena, you’re violating our directives. The problem was that there’s a federal statute that says that you have to comply with the subpoenas and if you don’t it’s a crime. It’s a criminal offense to interfere, so I just resigned my job and testified about what’s going on.”

FOUR REASONS CORRUPT HOLDER MUST RESIGN OR FACE IMPEACHMENT
The Washington Timers, May 16, 2013 –
by Tiffany Madison
Because they are racists. Plain and simple.
Obama was raised on race hatred and Marxist ideology. Nothing in the way of news here.
About which, they are entirely correct.
The 21st century is the century of the blood.
That it's not zero - yet.
If you are going to use quotes, you should go to the source and quote it accurately.
Imaginary victims comprise the fuel of the democrat party.
they use race, but in the end we will all see that he cares NOTHING about black people any more than he does for white people.
I don’t think they’re thinking extermination, yet.
But they ARE wanting humiliation and subjugation.
Not for lack of trying...
Boner is a person of color...
