EDITORIAL: Race to injustice-Lurking in the shadows of Eric Holder's 'common cause'

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. should answer one key question -- Will the Justice Department fight against civil rights violations of white people as avidly as those against people of color?

This is the subtext of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission's investigation into why the Justice Department dropped an already-won voter-intimidation case against agents of the New Black Panther Party. Credit for cogently connecting the dots on this goes to Jennifer Rubin, a labor lawyer and D.C. editor of Pajamas Media, in a column published on Tuesday. Ms. Rubin, whose reporting record has proven that her sources are good, quoted an insider who claims that top Justice Department officials "openly and proudly advocate for a different standard" for protecting black citizens to a greater degree than white ones.

Eric Holder is a genuine “racist” and should be branded as such by conservatives everywhere. The Left can dish it out, let’s see if they can take it.

He’s a racist scumbag.

The 14th amendment requires the STATES to offer equal protection under the law. WHERE does the Constitution require the FEDERAL government to provide equal protection under the law?????

Just rabble rousing ;-)

I hope Beck goes after this one as well.

I have been married to a Black Woman for 29 years. I had never faced anything seeming like a backlash until this year and it has been from Black men who have taken offense that my wife "thought she was too good for them." Whites have never had a problem and in fact many of my White and Hispanic friends covet my wife as she can still wear her University of Texas cheerleader uniform and she and my daughters can pass as sisters.

It appears that 0bama surrounds himself with racists.

Doesn’t that equate to his being a racist, too? After all, he told us to look at the people he surrounds himself with.

RACISTS in the White House. Sounds like the title of a book.

With a Democrat running anything everybody loses in the end regardless of race creed or color.
