The Congressional Black Caucus is planning to stage a walkout during tomorrow's House vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt over the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal, according to a letter that is being circulated among Democratic members of Congress.
“We adamantly oppose this partisan attack and refuse to participate in any vote that would tarnish the image of Congress or of an attorney general who has done nothing but work tirelessly to protect the rights of the American people," the Black Caucus members wrote in the letter, which was obtained by several news outlets. “We cannot and will not participate in a vote to hold the Attorney General in contempt."
The letter, which was sent to the Hispanic, Asian, and Progressive Caucuses, calls on members to walk off the House floor during tomorrow's vote, and join the Black Caucus for a press conference on the steps of the Capitol Building during the roll call.
The House Rules Committee voted along party lines Wednesday to send the contempt measure to the House floor, designating two hours and 20 minutes for debate Thursday, according to The Hill.

So does this mean they are putting their slippers on, or taking their sleepers off? I can’t remember exactly what their orders were, can you?
“Oh, I think Whites are starting to understand them very well.”

Starting to?
Us middle-aged farts with our eyes open, have advanced degrees in grasping the predominance of in-your-face black racism.
Must be because I’m
I thought the same!
(Where is Aunt Esther, Lamont?!)
Great shows...are they aired on Nick at Night or any other cable channels?
Representatives of the people huh? Only Blacks that is.
If one of their own color gets into trouble by their illegal and criminal actions, they are deemed automatically guilty of the crime...and in most cases they are!
I’ve grown tired of our race-baiting president along with all who stand with him by making everything racial rather than by the rule of law.
No wonder the blacks dominate the number of prison inmates, illegitimate children, and criminals in our country.
Laws? They don’t need no stinking laws!
Why aren’t the rest of the leftists walking out?
Hispanic, Asian,Gay,Black,Progressive and all non American Caucuses are welcome.
Loved Grady. He was hilarious. The show wasn’t the same when he was replaced by Bubba. Bubba just wasn’t funny.
I would suggest, to Rep. LTC Allen West, that when they start to steppin’ that he bring out his boom-box and play Isley Brothers: Fight the Power nice and loud.
Well, duh! They're racists! Otherwise they'd stick up for the black man, because he's black, no matter what!
Why aren’t the rest of the leftists walking out?
They weren’t invited. Wrong skin color.
The "Race Card" has expired, and this crap is old.
The children are throwing a tantrum again?
This is pure racism. They are supporting Holder because of the color of his skin, not the content of his character. They don’t care that innocent people have died or that laws have been broken.
It’s time for a Congressional White Caucus to counteract this racism. The CBC needs to be taught the lesson that “what goes around, comes around”.
It sure looks like JJ Sr, not Jr., who’s too tired to work!
Congratulations. "Texas is not where you were born, but a State of Mind, Heart and Attitude. (one of my ancestors was born in TX during the Republic)
