Eric Holder: Black Panther case focus demeans 'my people'

Attorney General Eric Holder finally got fed up Tuesday with claims that the Justice Department went easy in a voting rights case against members of the New Black Panther Party because they are African American.

Holder's frustration over the criticism became evident during a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing as Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas) accused the Justice Department of failing to cooperate with a Civil Rights Commission investigation into the handling of the 2008 incident in which Black Panthers in intimidating outfits and wielding a club stood outside a polling place in Philadelphia.

The Attorney General seemed to take personal offense at a comment Culberson read in which former Democratic activist Bartle Bull called the incident the most serious act of voter intimidation he had witnessed in his career.

“my people” RACIST

whether whitey wants to believe it or not, it really is “them” and “us”

[BunnySlippers]

So any injustice against non-blacks has to measure up to that done to blacks in the past.

Is that the standard?

““my people” RACIST”

My exact same first thot.

[Crucial]

So, as an American, I'm not one of your people, first and foremost?

Glad we understand your priorities now.

Now we know that you're an abject racist and why you protected the Black Panthers.

[BunnySlippers]

Eric Holder just gave those thugs carte blanche to continue their behavior.

[Servant of the Cross]

Speaking of demeaning your 'people' .... geesh!

[Truth29]

Well, Holder just self declared that he is not the Attorney General for all of the people in my book.

[EyeGuy]

Good thing Dan Quayle or Sarah Palin didn’t say that, or one of the half dozen remaining American KKK members or a “Nazi skinheads”.

[Batman11]

Keep holding Holder’s feet to the fire. Like his narcissistic boss he does not like to be questioned in any way. He will crack under the pressure.

[Red Badger]

AT LEAST EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT HE IS NOW.
GLAD HE FINALLY CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET............

[ExTexasRedhead]

I don’t give a hoot in hell what Eric Holder calls us. He can spew anything he wants. It won’t change what he is and what he’s attempting to do to this country.

[Nervous Tick]

>> whether whitey wants to believe it or not, it really is “them” and “us”

You can put this whiteboy down in the “believes it” column.

OJ Simpson was the beginning of the black man taking the upper hand in America.

As long as we, the American people, allow this type of race baiting, and payback mentality to continue, we’ll get what we deserve.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"My people" versus "you people."

Civil war talk from the top of the administration.

Very troubling.

[Hunton Peck]

Seems to me, Holder just admitted that he has a coflict of interest which makes him unable to do his job.

[Responsibility2nd]

So - is it now OK for us to refer to Holder and the Black Panthers as ...

You People
