Attorney General Eric Holder slammed former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin Sunday, saying she is neither a very good legal scholar nor an effective vice presidential candidate.
He also said he believed that some critics of the president attack him because he is the nation's first black president.
Fielding a question about Palin's call last week to impeach President Obama, Holder told ABC's This Week that the former vice president candidate "wasn't a particularly good vice presidential candidate (in 2008). She's an even worse judge of who ought to be impeached and why."
Palin is only part of a growing Republican chorus calling for Obamas impeachment for everything from his handling of the spike in illegal border crossings to excessive use of executive orders in healthcare and other areas.
"For whatever reason, (some) Republicans decided early on that this was a president they were just simply not going to cooperate with," Holder said. "And over the past five-and-a-half years, we have seen demonstrations of that, where the president has reached out his hand, offered compromises that have simply not been met (in the way) they have been in the past by a Republican Party willing to do the appropriate things."
Holder also blasted House Republicans plans to sue Obama over executive changes made to Obamacare.
"It's a more, I think, a political gesture than a truly legal one," Holder said. "Filing a lawsuit against the president that has no basis is not going to improve the quality of life for the American people."
Holder said that he believed that Obama is subject to "a certain level of vehemence" that is partly racial.
"You know, people talking about taking their country back," Holder said. "There's a certain racial component to this for some people....

Holder?
The DO”J” FOSTERS and ENCOURAGES black on white
assaults, rapes and murder.
Possibly even slavery.
Sarah Palin was the ONLY good part of the Republican ticket in 2008. I voted for her, not Juan McLame. Had she been given the freedom to attack dumbo as she’d wanted, he might have lost, but “wiser heads” called her off and muzzled her.
I missed it last night, set up DVR to record Huckabee tonight. Thanks!
Too bad Palin is not a narco terrorist. Eric would send her an AK-47.
> he is the nation’s first black president.
Also the first president to invade his own country.
Eric the racist is rather niggardly with his praise of Sarah Palin. He needs to embrace diversity.
The Race Card: “When you losin’, it’s the only way to cry.”
The accusation of racism used to mean something. Now, many don’t give a damn.
Glad he’s not a political attorney general /s
Any republican AG talking like this would have to resign, and there would be a demand for a special prosecutor.
Plus they are all leftist racist kooks in that administration. Reading racism into every criticism. Well excuuuuuse me.
What conservative would criticize a conservative black administration - none.
Isn’t it touching how our AG defends vote fraud in the name of racism. Oy.
Tired of the racist crap.
Obama is 1/2 white, 3/8 Arab, and 1/8 black. He is a descendent of African slave traders. He has NO respect for U.S. blacks.
Looks like the poll numbers are dropping for Obama so its’ time to access the ‘white guilt’ and start claiming racism.
Is Holder really suggesting we would be ok with the ACA, Benghazi, the IRS scandal, the border situation, FAst and Furious, and endless executive orders etc etc if the President were white? Think about that logic?
Yeah, right. Coming from the chief thug, that means a lot.
Eric Holder is a racist, and has demostrated it again and again.
Obama is a racist, and has demonstrated it again and again.
Literally everyone who voted for Obama is a racist, because they voted for him based on their own perception of his race.
Thanks Eleutheria5.
The racist animus is held by Obama and the examples are Benjamin Netanyahu and Rick Perry. Distain for both.
Obama has reached out his hand - yeah - to take our freedoms, our money, and our patriotism and rub our nosed in the dirt!
Hey Eric!!
Which of Obama’s policies do you think I’d support if he were white?
Never an original thought or criticism.
