While Obama’s Justice Department dismissed a critical voter intimidation case against a radical black revolutionary group, it’s going after a pro life advocate the agency calls one of “the most vocal and aggressive anti-abortion protestors.”
Ironically, the administration claims that the pro life advocate, a Maryland man named Richard Retta, intimidated and interfered with women seeking abortions in Washington D.C.-area clinics much like members of the New Black Panther Party did to white voters during the 2008 presidential election. The difference is that the Black Panthers, clad in military attire, used weapons, racial insults and profanity to deter voters.
Judicial Watch obtained records that show political appointees at the DOJ ordered the Black Panther case dismissed after the administration colluded with leftwing groups. JW’s investigation also revealed that the official Obama appointed to head the DOJ’s civil rights division, Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, lied under oath to cover up the Black Panther voter intimidation scandal.
Now Perez is pursuing a pro lifer for violating a Clinton-era law (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act) that prohibits any sort of interference with a woman seeking an abortion. Retta physically obstructed a patient and volunteer escorts attempting to enter the Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, according to a DOJ complaint filed a few days ago. He also “frequently walks very closely beside patients as they walk to the clinic” and he follows them into the street and oncoming traffic. Sometimes he yells at them, the feds claim.
In announcing the lawsuit, Perez vowed to pursue similar cases, saying that “individuals who seek to obtain or provide reproductive health services have the right to do so without encountering hazardous physical obstructions.” If one unarmed guy is considered such a threat, then a barrier of big, muscular, armed men intimidating voters during a presidential election certainly merits attention from the agency charged with enforcing the law and defending the interests of the United States. Yet that case got dismissed.
How does DOJ have time for this, with all the Mexicans and US agents they’re murdering?
I hear you. It seems Obama/Holder set their own priorities and choose what laws to ignore or flat out break.
FYI
It’s sickening how Holder and friends abuse the power of their offices.
Black Panthers - BLACK
Retta - WHITE
Black wins
White gets screwed
Welcome to Obamaland............
You have a right to muder your baby without anyone saying anything negative about it, but you don’t have a right to vote without threat of physical violence. obama and holder have brought african style justice to America.
Well said, and that’s what we’re stuck with for at least another 1 1/2 years.
Impeachment is justified IMO but it won’t happen.
Ain’t it the truth, that’s exactly how the turkey feels.

So Judicial watch has this evidence. What are they going to do with it? Present it to the DOJ?
When the DOJ is as crooked as this one who do you see to get something done?
Do you go to the Senate?? Harry Reid would laugh at it. The House?? Boehner has his hands full with debt limit. Grassley and Issa cannot even get the DOJ to testify about Gunwalker, and they sure aren’t going to tangle with this.\
Do you take it to the Supreme Court? They are at fault that we have an illegitimate President now since they refused to listen to evidence of his eligibility.
Do you take it to the Media that already knows and refuses to do anything.
They might as well take their evidence and shove it where the sun don’t shine for all the good it will do.There isn’t anyone in authority that really gives a sh!t.
Disparate treatment..cut and dried, black and white
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
This all came out months ago, Perez lied under oath to the US Commission on Civil Rights. It was all either ignored or disputed by Holder and his thugs at DOJ and they said there was no documented intimidation by the New Black Panthers at the polling place.
There should be a Special Prosecutor called for but it isn’t going to happen.
This is just plain wrong. No question about it, except of course to this cretin’s administration.
Now with that said, I have to say some of the pro-life protesters can be down right in your face obnoxious. I fully support what they are doing, but they should also remember that some of these facilities do provide other services and they shouldn’t abuse women entering them without knowing the why’s of why the woman is entering the facility.

This borders on assault and intimidation which pales in comparison to the millions of dead babies abortion has brought us.
