Assistant US Attorney John Craft mocks Obama voters, too

(Newser) – A federal prosecutor in Texas has posted his views about Trayvon Martin and President Obama on Facebook, and they're not pretty. Assistant US Attorney John Craft made his opinions known in answer to a status update supporting Stand Your Ground laws, the Beaumont Enterprise reports:

• "How are you fixed for Skittles and Arizona watermelon fruitcocktail (and maybe a bottle of Robitussin, too) in your neighborhood? I am fresh out of 'purple drank.' So, I may come by for a visit. In a rainstorm. In the middle of the night. In a hoodie. Don't get upset or anything if you see me looking in your window...kay?"

Craft also derided Obama supporters, saying "low information voters carried the day for the Dalibama in the last election." Asked about his Facebook activity, Craft said only that it was "not related to the US Attorney's office." Craft's boss, US Attorney Malcolm Bales, didn't sound too pleased about the whole thing: "It speaks ill of our office in connection," he said. "We don't think like that. We don't act like that." But he didn't say whether disciplinary action would follow. (Hat tip, Raw Story.)

The Left are going to run this guy up the flag pole and make him their opposition. Symbolism is so important to to them and to the popular media. They want the 60s back and they'll cling to anything they can depict as racist -- especially in The South.

Obama will speaking about this before the week is out. Watch.

I'd love to be able to read the responses to the posting....were there any.

"Whatever happened to The FIRST AMENDMENT?????????"

It became inoperative under the Obama regime along with the rest of the Constitution. Still, posting something derogatory about St. Skittles -- even if completely true -- under his own name as a gov't employee may not have been the smartest thing to do. (Unless he already has a better gig lined up to tide him through his unjust termination lawsuit against the gov't.)

Hope he has a job lined up. Seriously he will be fired.

Was gonna say, you’d have to be the STOOOOOPIDEST Prosecutor in history to have a Facebook page.

I also loved it, and was delighted to see that the article came from the Beaumont Enterprise, my old hometown newspaper.

Unfortunately I agree with you. The USAs serve at the pleasure of the administration and as such the AUSAs serve at the pleasure of the USA. Just to have all their ducks in order, the office of professional responsibility will be arriving this morning, conduct a few interviews, pronounce the guy a racist, rip off his epaulet's and drum him out of the office.

The real clown is in the White House.

Reminds me of that old show with Chuck Connors, “Branded”. I remember the opening song as they stripped him down.

Not to be confused with the popular restroom humor song “Stranded” :)

He’s dead, Jim.

I bad mouth obama and Trayvon all the time. I speak out against the hildabeast too.

"Obama will speaking about this before the week is out. Watch."

"If I had a son, he would not look like John Craft."

That rodeo clown took the last train to Clarksville.

I spoke with a US attorney on Tuesday about Eric the Red's guidance on withholding evidence to avoid mandatory sentencing.

She said "He can issue all the guidance he wants too, my boss prosecutes these cases aggressively and will continue to do so."

Hoo-Ahh!
