Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Christian Adams, who served in the Voting Section of the U.S. Department of Justice for 5 years. He was previously in private practice and also General Counsel to the South Carolina Secretary of State. He has litigated election cases across the United States on a variety of issues, including voter intimidation and redistricting under the Voting Rights Act. He is a member of both the SC and VA bar.
FP: Christian Adams, welcome to Frontpage Interview. It is a pleasure and privilege to have you here with us. I would like to talk to you today about your own personal experience in witnessing how Attorney General Eric Holder dropped a New Black Panther voter intimidation case for racial reasons.
But I would first like to start by asking you about the New Black Panthers in general. Describe them to us. How do they contrast with the Black Panthers of Huey Newton? Adams: The New Black Panthers are a completely different, and more radical, organization. They are a militant black separatist organization. They are vehemently anti-Semitic. While the old black panther party had relations with like minded members of the white community, the New Black Panthers want total racial separatism. The old black panthers had an ostensible social welfare operation. The New Black Panthers have attempted to engage in some aspects of social welfare but these efforts have only commenced after a great deal of bad publicity in the last few months.
At their core, the New Black Panthers exist to advance a limited, militant and racial agenda. They have harassed Korean grocers, they have made false allegations against Duke Lacrosse players, and wherever they go, they inject fiery racial rhetoric into their demonstrations.

OK That’s it. I am BOYCOTTING the Black Panthers.
Holder is shameless!
I think the most important and damning thing is unfortunately not being asked.
I want to know who told the panthers they didn’t need to show up for court in the first place. Simply not showing up for court isn’t typical panther behavior. Someone told them from the beginning that the fix was in.
Black Panther’s is Michelle’s honor guard..
Eric Holder has just became useless to anyone he is now an anchor around Obama’s neck.
Holder is just a pawn.
Don’t you remember an IDIOT saying America is a MUSLIM country? How about someone who doesn’t go to ANY CHURCH yet he says he is a Christian. How about a scumbag who in a NY TIMES story said the Muslim call to prayer is the most beautiful sound on Earth?
Was that enough hints?
This is OBAMA taking care of his MUSLIM brothers and the message is disrupt this fall all you want, those WHITEY CHRISTIANS are OPEN SEASON!
When the Muslims get about 1-2% then they can really let you know what it’s like to be a second class citizen.
Don’t you agree it is time to take out the trash in Washington?
“Don’t you agree it is time to take out the trash in Washington?
It’s past due! It doesn’t matter which letter they have behind their name. Get rid of all of the trash!
Your comment ties in with another on this string stating “Holder is just a pawn”.
The great yet untold story of this administration is “who is the great puppet master”? It's the far left radical communists of course. But, no one has named the names and as yet flushed out the individuals. Personally, I would start with George Soros. He obviously, provides a large portion of their operating funds.
Holder’s shame? Hardly. He’s proud of his action or inaction. He’s a racist and a bigot. There will be no prosecutions of any black organizations or any non-white organizations while he’s on the job. Only whitey is bad.....................
100%
Holder's actions (and inactions) can't have come as any surprise to "The One," nor do I think he disapproves.
I don’t think he disapproves either. One of these thugs is named on the White House visitor’s list.
Which law do I, as a white guy, get to disobey with impunity?(Given a choice, I'll take the tax code... but THAT will never happen!)
I don’t think he’s a coward,
he’s an “in your face” racist
that intends to use the power of the state to “get whitey”.
That may be evil and bigotted and worthy of condemnation,
but it’s not cowardly.
The “cowardly” people are the ones that are letting him get away with it.
Holder’s actions bring the spot light on Obama and he needs some cover now we shall see when the msm turns.
It's shocking that it has turned so little against the regime and its thuggery and sapping of America's strength and traditions in every realm. And its toleration of the clever lies and distortions, integral to 0bummer's method and whcih fool only the gullible, is sad testimony to the degree to which the MSM has become the enemy of the America we who know it cherish.
I read, in a newspaper article, that “Corn-Hole-der” carried a piece of paper in his wallet that says something about when you’re black, that comes ahead of anything else you may be—you know, like now when he is Atty Gen of the US (shudder)-he basically admitted his race comes first.
Here it is-I looked it up— this is from Nat. Review Corner 9-17-09
What Would Jimmy Carter Make of Eric Holder? [Andy McCarthy]
From today’s Washington Examiner editorial on DOJ stonewalling the U.S. Civil Rights Commission regarding Holder’s dismissal of the Black Panther voter-intimidation case:
[W]e stumbled over a story from 1996 that tends to confirm this interpretation of Mr. Holder’s approach [i.e., the interpretation, that in Holder’s DOJ, top officials “openly and proudly advocate for a different standard” for the treatment of black citizens than for white citizens.] Oddly enough, the story concerned a case in which one of Mr. Holder’s chief critics was Malik Zulu Shabazz, one of the Black Panther defendants for whom the more recent charges were dropped. The case involved an assault on a white Washington Times reporter by a charter-school principal who is black. Back then, Mr. Shabazz accused Mr. Holder, who is black, of a sort of racial treason for prosecuting the black principal. “We are headed for a political, cultural and economic race war in the city of Washington,” Mr. Shabazz warned in reaction to the incident.
Mr. Holder told The Washington Post in 1996 that his answer was to pull out a paper he always carries in his wallet, containing a quote he admires that says a black man’s “race defines him more particularly than anything else. Black people have a common cause that requires attending to.” In case that is not disconcerting enough in its own right, Mr. Holder elaborated: “It really says that ... I am not the tall U.S. Attorney, I am not the thin U.S. Attorney. I am the black U.S. Attorney.... There’s a common cause that bonds the black U.S. Attorney with the black criminal or the black doctor with the black homeless person.”
Dear Senator Demint:
Thank you for representing the concerns of your constituency! I greatly appreciate your fortitude, courage and zeal in representing South Carolina.
I am writing to you today - because of my thorough disgust in the dismissal of the voter intimidation case by the Department of Justice. What is our America coming to, when thugs can intimidate voters who want to exercise their right to vote and do not have to fear the repercussions of their actions.
What kind of atmosphere are we creating for Voting in the future? What message are we sending to fringe elements who want to intimidate the citizens of this country at the voting booth?
I strongly encourage you to speak out on the Senate Floor, and in the public forum on the DOJ decision. We cannot sit back and let this level of in justice take place without the Department of Justice hearing the Roar of United States Citizens and the ire of honorable men and women in the legislative branch of our government.
Senator Demint I will be listening closely and want to have pride in the fact that the Senators and Legislators of South Carolina stood on the side of Justice and held the Department of Justice accountable for their decisions.
Sincerely,
Chris Stansberry
Citizen!
