Boo-hoo, Miss Holder. You are a shameless, pathetic excuse for a human being, and you demean "your people" with your shameless race-baiting. You are a racist scumbag. The sooner Washington DC is cleansed of people like you, the faster the American people can begin to repair all the damage that you and your boss have created. (He IS your "boss", right? Is that racist too, you puke?)

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.

"Think about that," Holder said. "When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, to compare what people subjected to that with what happened in Philadelphia, which was inappropriate....to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line for my people," said Holder, who is black.

Holder noted that his late sister-in-law, Vivian Malone Jones, helped integrate the University of Alabama.

"To compare that kind of courage, that kind of action, to say some Black Panther incident is of greater concern to us, historically, I think just flies in the face of history," Holder said with evident exasperation.

In a series of questions and comments earlier in the hearing, Culberson insisted that race had infected the decision-making process. "There’s clearly overwhelming evidence that your Department of Justice refuses to protect the rights of anybody other than African-Americans to vote," the Texas Republican said. "There's a double standard here."

"This Department of Justice does not enforce the law on the basis of race," Holder insisted...

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

We have to pay our racial debts, that's all this is. Oh and btw, in case you were wondering when that account will be settled? Never.

Yeah, OK, anybody besides me pick up the fact that this traitor just admitted he is a bigoted racist jackass?  "FOR MY PEOPLE"?

Yeah, right back at ya, racist pig!  Screw We the People, it's all about your people, eh?

Time for We to tell He and Them to go to hell!

I say this traitor just committed an impeachable offense, and I want his ass thrown out, NOW!

Yeah Rush mentioned that. He said, "can you imagine Pat Buchanan referring to 'my people'"? Or do you remember when Perot spoke to the NAACP in '92, and referred to them (quite innocuously) as "you people". They went ballistic.

I don't, nor did I ever, have racial debts, so moot point for me.  In any case, this lying sonofabtch can take a long flying leap off a short rickety pier.  It's too bad somebody at that hearing didn't have the stones to accuse him of perjury and cite him for contempt.

None of us have, but it doesn't stop them from having the illusion (or maybe disillusion?) that we owe them everything we have.

Weren't there some e-mails that were leaked indicating it was just that!

Quite obvious to anyone in that room that tje Attorney General is indeed a racist or why else would he refer to "you" and "my people". Infintile little asswipe.

Should the Attorney General be saying "my people"... and not mean the People of the United States?

Obviously, no, and quite a dangerous precedent.
