Prosecutor: DoJ bias against whites By: Josh Gerstein September 24, 2010 10:52 AM EDT
A Justice Department prosecutor, defying his superiors by testifying at a U.S. Civil Rights Commission hearing Friday into the departments handling of a voter-intimidation case against a fringe African American militant group, blasted senior political appointees at Justice for gutting the case.
In his opening testimony, prosecutor Christopher Coates also suggested he was working against a dominant Justice Department culture which discouraged enforcement of civil rights laws in a race-neutral way that would protect whites as well as blacks.
Coates, a 13-year veteran of the civil rights division who was chief of its voting section until early this year, charged that his supervisors systematically downgraded the case against the New Black Panthers, which was accused of trying to intimidate white voters at the polls in Philadelphia during the 2008 general election. When he objected to his supervisors, Coates said, the Justice Departments attempt to silence him was part of what he called the hostile atmosphere that has existed within [Justices Civil Rights] Division for a long time against race-neutral enforcement of the Voting Rights Act.
I did not lightly decide to comply with your subpoena in contradiction to the DOJs directives not to testify, Coates said. If incorrect representations are going to successfully thwart inquiry into the systemic problems regarding race-neutral enforcement of the Voting Rights Act by the Civil Rights Division, problems that were manifested....in the New Black Panther Party case that end is not going to be furthered or accomplished by my sitting idly or silently by at the direction of my supervisors while incorrect information is provided. I do not believe that I am professionally, ethically, legally, or morally bound to allow such a result to occur.

can’t be true .. color me surprised ... /s
This guy & Sheriff Joe need to be treated to dinner together.
They seem to have the same ethics.
Something the NObama administration cannot say.
So the occupant of the oval office and his chief cop are racist! What a surprise!
Under the “New Order” DOJ in America, if you are a white Christian your rights are toast.
Actually, the DOJ sent him there because they assumed he would be outside the jurisdiction of the Civil Rights Commission as long as he wasn't in DC, and could avoid the subpoena that way.
Excuse me, I thought the Rev. Wright was the head of the Justice Department, but now you tell me it’s this Holder fellow?
Clear for all to see. The Obama administration is racist. Obamas trinity of America’s destruction, Islam, Marxism and the Chicago Gangsterism.——
And I will not forget the Mother of it. Oprah Winfrey.
Was that a racist remark?
>>cant be true .. color me surprised ... /s<<
>Was that a racist remark?<
only if your a liberal .. a sane person wouldn’t think so. It certainly wasn’t meant to be as such.
Conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor is a felony.
Conspiracy to commit a felony is also a felony.
Somebody in Obamanation' Holderville is gonna do at least a nickel on the inside for this.
>>Hussein and Holder making the RULES, yet our DOJ is biased against WHITES!!! Wow...seems IMPOSSIBLE doesnt it.<<
The American voter elected these people. America deserves the government it has. The empathy of 75% of the people who are too f’ing lazy to even vote is disgusting.
Look at how many people would reelect Bush. The same for Clinton. Sickening!
Nobody is stupid enough to testify that Obama had any knowledge of any of this. Not even me and I am pretty darn stupid at times.
>Under the New Order DOJ in America, if you are a white Christian your rights are toast.<
Wouldn’t invisible be a better word than toast?
Holder belongs in jail alongside his marxist muslim homo pos thug boss.
So it looks like Beck was right when he said that he suspects Obama is a Black racist who hates White people based on Obama’s chosen minister. O’Really should be appologizing to Beck.
