As a freshman at Columbia University in 1970, future Attorney General Eric Holder participated in a five-day occupation of an abandoned Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) headquarters with a group of black students later described by the university’s Black Students’ Organization as “armed,” The Daily Caller has learned.
Department of Justice spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler has not responded to questions from The Daily Caller about whether Holder himself was armed — and if so, with what sort of weapon.
Holder was then among the leaders of the Student Afro-American Society (SAAS), which demanded that the former ROTC office be renamed the “Malcolm X Lounge.” The change, the group insisted, was to be made “in honor of a man who recognized the importance of territory as a basis for nationhood.”
Black radicals from the same group also occupied the office of Dean of Freshman Henry Coleman until their demands were met. Holder has publicly acknowledged being a part of that action.
The details of the student-led occupation, including the claim that the raiders were “armed,” come from a deleted Web page of the Black Students’ Organization (BSO) at Columbia, a successor group to the SAAS. Contemporary newspaper accounts in The Columbia Daily Spectator, a student newspaper, did not mention weapons.
Old news...
Crime does pay ,it puts you in charge
The whole stinking bunch of leftists in charge are a bunch of communist revolutionaries who succeeded in infiltrating and destroying our country from within.
Old OLD news
If the Daily Caller “just learned of it” then they need to fold up shop
Of course, being close to November, I suspect the real reason it’s being pushed now is a bit political...
Yeah, what's up with this getting trotted out now?
Yawn...That will be the media’s reaction.
Being the useful idiots that they are, The media AGREE with lefty radicals like the SAAS along with their comrades in arms-SDS.
The media will excuse, gently conceal or yell SQUIRREL, regarding any violence these groups preformed because the advancement of the ‘cause’ is to be led FORWARD at any price.
...yeah, as if ANYBODY were going to hold him accountable now..
~yaaaaaawwwwn~....
The comrade will support the actions of all the people he appoints. They are in league with him. Holder has a bad past like the rest of them in government. Radicals.
Reminds me of Arpaio’s harping about the new information he’s found out but won’t release it to the public, however if you wanto come to one of his “seminars” he’ll string you along a little bit longer...
“The details of the student-led occupation, including the claim that the raiders were “armed,” come from a deleted Web page of the Black Students’ Organization (BSO) at Columbia...”
The BSO had a web page in 1970?
Did it get many hits?
What he did is the equivalent of participation in an armed robbery but, not holding a weapon.
Equal culpability and jeapordy attaches.
Yeah, it got less hits than Ray Rice’s wife...
Yeah, it got less hits than Ray Rice’s wife...
Yeah, it got less hits than Ray Rice’s wife...
Invaded an abandoned ROTC facility? So that’s how he knows how to spot a coward.
You can bet that all the old paper police records on this matter disappeared along time ago.
