Obama AG Nominee Lynch: Voter ID Laws were Passed by Racist Southerners, Must be Stopped
Pundit Press ^ | 11/8/14 | Aurelius

Posted on 11/08/2014 9:56:12 AM PST by rightistight

In a speech given at Long Beach earlier this year, President Obama's new nominee for Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, specifically called out voter ID laws as racist.

The remarks came at the end of a long speech, explaining the examples that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela set for people.

Ms. Lynch then began talking about the inequities that she sees in the United States...

She continued, "50 years after the march on Washington, 50 years after the civil rights movement, we stand in this country at a time when we see people trying to take back so much of what Dr. King fought for. We stand in this country. People try and take over the State House and reverse the goals that have been made in voting in this country.

"But I'm proud to tell you that the Department of Justice has looked at these laws and looked at what's happening in the Deep South, and in my home state of North Carolina has brought lawsuits against those voting rights changes that seek to limit out ability to stand up and exercise our rights as citizens. And those lawsuits will continue."

Ms. Lynch was no doubt talking about the Justice Department's lawsuit against North Carolina to stop their voter ID laws. Eric Holder even used the same kind of language as Lynch: “Allowing limits on voting rights that disproportionately exclude minority voters would be inconsistent with our ideals as a nation,” he explained.

Too late! When Obama was confirmed in 2012, we from Chicago knew what would be coming.

If getting an ID is so difficult for blacks, it would seem that that should be their focus. Who are these evil people denying blacks IDs?

How do blacks fly? get welfare? use banks? hospitals? This seems really serious. MSNBC should investigate.

I heard some liberals saying it’s hard to get an ID. They cited the case of an old woman, who didn’t have her marriage license, and since her name changed at marriage, couldn’t use her birth certificate because it had her maiden name on it.


If I remember that case, it involved a Black woman who around 100 years old and who had to do a bit of work to obtain her records in order to obtain an ID card.

The big “problem” was that her family was not motivated to help her and the old folks home she was living in could care less.

The whole Democrat partisan Media circus backfired when some Republican good Samaritan drove her to the vital records department and got her an ID in less than a day.

The problem was not ability to obtain ID, it was a LACK OF MOBILITY for an OLD lady to get out to get her ID and nobody in her family was “willing” to help her (an she was unwilling to help herself) because they, along with the old lady herself, wanted to use her as propaganda tool and the lack of ID story was a manufactured crisis.

A notice will be sent forthwith indicating where and when you should report to a suitable facility where you will be furnished “A Good Citizen” coach, who will instruct and train your mind as to right and proper thoughts, as well acceptable expression, so as not to offend the thinner skinned citizens nor insult those who reside in the United States as guests of the honorable King Hessein.

They tried that once in a place called High School, didn't work then, though I managed to give many of the coaches severe migraines for their efforts. Never, ever try to force a square peg into a round hole! Fitting in is something I have never done in my life and I don't plan to start now. Isn't that why 99.9% of us are here on Free Republic?

This woman should not receive the support of any Republican senator.

Indeed, any Republican support at all will demonstrate clearly that the GOP is over as a legitimate, viable political party.

I see Obama is not going to work with the new majority...

He deals them a A’s and 8’s hand of both a black and female nominee...

Anybody know if Obama played the trifacta of her being a lesbian too...

Let’s see if they call his buff...

He’s the Racist-in-Chief, and this nomination is no less than the flipping of his middle finger to all of us.

Racists make decisions on the basis of race; this is exactly what Obama has done.

"Lynch law"?

Somehow that doesn't sound quite right.

I believe that driving is considered a privilege in every state, not a right.

Correct. But voting is also not a right, but a privilege, as the Founders, and numerous SCOTUS rulings, have made undeniably clear.

Yeah you racist twit. Poll taxes were put into place by southerners all right; southern democrats who were also the heart of Jim Crow, the KKK, separate but equal and who stood in front of school doors to prevent little black girls from getting an education.

Who fought and stepped up to sweep aside these racist democrat practices? The Republican party and republican presidents.

You’re a democrat, you dumb bitch. You’re part of the racist system of the party of slavery. You’re no better than the evil black Africans who sold your ancestors into slavery.
