Loretta Lynch is still waiting to be confirmed as attorney general, and her allies are hoping a hunger strike will do the trick.

The advocacy group founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton, along with female civil-rights leaders, are launching the hunger strike – where groups of fasters will alternate days abstaining from food until Lynch is confirmed to replace Eric Holder at the Justice Department. Dubbed “Confirm Loretta Lynch Fast,” the new tactic is designed in the mold of civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi and Cesar Chavez, organizers said.

Why am I not surprised at Race Pimp Sharpton's action.

This should seal Ms. Lynch's fate to become AG, as it now has become a race issue.

NO TO LOFETTA LYNCH, SHE IS RACIST.

Good, a hunger strike, that should inspire the Kentuckian-in-chief to move for the liberal agenda. By the way, ‘’Jeopardy’’ contestants on April 14 were asked to identify a photo of McC. One got in and did so.

Why should black or brown people have to be confirmed by a group of rich old white men and women?

In Obamaland people with White Privlege are expected to shut up, work hard, pay their taxes and stay out of the way of Hope-N’-Change.

Hunger for Sharpie is 2 lbs of ribs, 2 corn dogs and a pint of ice cream? That’s just lunch.

Extend the date for a vote 6 months. It will cleanse the gene pool.
