Just as a point of information—were there a lot of white people walking past Black Panthers? I’m not saying this ‘cleared of all wrongdoing’ crap is for real, but was this one incident the same as blacks being kept out of schools, which they were?

Again, I’m asking—how many people did this involve, in terms of voters who’ve reported intimidation and Black Pinheads at how many voting places, etc.?

What's the point of your question? Are we getting into moral equivalence here? Voter intimidation in the 21st century isn't such a big deal, because school segregation was a much bigger deal in the 20th century?

As far as I concerned, it happened and it ought to be treated as a serious matter. Very straightforward. But Holder looks back 60 years or so and says, "You crackers deserve it."

" ... but was this one incident the same as blacks being kept out of schools, which they were?"

This incident was much, MUCH more serious than blacks being kept out of school. Because this incident struck at basis of our entire republic - the right to exercise, freely, the right to vote. Once we forfeit the right to fair and free elections, we have started down the slippery slope to being a banana republic. Banning blacks from schools, as much as we might abhor it it, took away ONE right. If you take away the free vote you take ALL my rights as a citizen.

Moreover, it is the purpose of the federal government, most especially the Justice Department, so see that the rule of law is upheld. In school segregation, the STATES tried to enforce segregation and the federal government, correctly, opposed that violation of the Constitution. When there were literacy tests for voting, it was the STATES interferring with the right to vote and the federal government opposed it.

In the Black Panther Case there was a DEFAULT JUDGEMENT against the Black Panthers. All Justice had to do was show up and receive the verdict. But they dismissed the case rather than accept a verdict they didn't like.

Where did I say anything about ‘moral equivalence’?

I asked what I asked, for the reason I said.

So far, no one’s actually answered the question—they’ve been making ‘moral equivalence’ comments.

The idea that this ONE incident (how many people were intimidated? how many people didn’t vote in this one voting place, this one time?) is worse than what blacks have had to endure in this country is ridiculous.

The ‘moral equivalence’ is coming from people who’ve been going on about this incident—ONE incident—as if it’s WORSE than all the crap blacks endured in the past. (PAST being the key word.)

There’s this bizarre need in the supposed party of ‘self reliance and America-can-do spirit’ to get in on the victimization.

No one’s answered my simple questions—they’ve just called names and whined.

That’s my answer, I guess. Victims R Us.

It involved more than one person. Therefore it is a serious matter.

Stuff that happened in the 1950s holds no interest for me. The race card has expired, but AG Holder likes to bring it up anyway.

Good - this will be one more reason Obama will lose the 2012 election - guaranteed. Holder needs to be fired - he is a detriment to the entire administration.

Now, what is the next step on bringing our “Justice Department” to justice? This isn’t the end of this story - just a prediction.

I saw it happen live on TV in 2008 on Fox News - the whole thing was incredible and worse than what is generally being reported. It’s on tape. Watch the video - priceless and criminal.

Rick Leventhal of Fox News is the reporter.

I agree it is a serious matter. I agree with you on Holder. History indeed does matter.
