Holder is having a merry old time playing make-believe as Attorney General, but he has a frighteningly shallow knowledge of his position and responsibilities. As is the case with Barry. Both men have surface intelligence and nothing more. I’m only surprised that Holder didn’t fall back on the old “fairness” argument (is that not the answer to every question?) as justification for why KSM should be tried in a civilian court.
Lindsey Graham, you frequently squishy liberal RINO you, more of the same, please.
The kung-fu fighters above are Jerry Jackson and Samir Shabazz (whose name has “King” before it almost everywhere else on the web, but not here).
These two charming individuals are members of The New Black Panther Party for Self Defense (they should really rethink the verbose name) and were “stationed” at the 1221 Fairmount polling station in Philadelphia on Election Day 2008.
Conspicuous by their paramilitary fatigues, military-esque jacket patches and Shabazz’s night-stick, Jerry n’ Samir soon caught the attention of local police for violating the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibits any “attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce” any voter and those aiding voters.
The Department of Justice subsequently filed a civil suit on January 7th,2009, identifying the men as members of the Panthers and stating that they wore “military-style uniforms”, one of whom was armed with “a dangerous weapon” and both of whom used racial slurs and insults to intimidate would-be voters. Far more info here.
Oh and, by the way, Jerry Jackson is not only a Panther but also an elected member of Philadelphia’s 14th Ward Democratic Committee and had been appointed by the Democratic Party as an official watcher.
Can you guess what happened next?
You got it. Eric Holder’s Justice Department dropped the case, once again protecting Barry’s allies. This is quickly becoming a precedent under the Obama administration, as Chicago mafia tactics become standard procedure in DC.
If it had been two KKK members at the polling station instead of two Black Panther members, would the same outcome still have occured?
Yeah. About that. Might be a slightly better idea to put them somewhere further away from the place they want to destroy.
It’s pretty scary how people will warp reality to match their ideology, rather than changing their mind to correspond with actual events. Eric just has to think that the Guantanamees are not terrorists and – hey presto – they’re not terrorists!
And now, he’s denounced America as “a nation of cowards” regarding race. As a European, can I post a few American history questions (to which I know the answers, but fear that quite a few Americans do not)?
1) Which party proposed and passed the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments?
2) Which president segregated Washington DC?
3) Which president enforced desegregation of the US military?
4) Which president legislated and enforced desegregation of US schools?
5) Which future president voted against the 1957 Civil Rights Act?
