President Barack Obama will send Eric Holder to Ferguson because Heinrich Himmler, Pol Pot and Genghis Khan are not available. Let me hasten to point out that Himmler, Pol Pot and Genghis Khan were never held in Criminal and Civil Contempt of Congress. Quoting from THE WASHINGTON TIMES: Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. should resign. He is a disgrace to his office and to his country. Mr. Holder is a race baiter. On Tuesday, he testified during a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing on the voting rights case involving members of the New Black Panther Party. In the 2008 election, Black Panthers - dressed in military fatigues and wielding a club - threatened voters at a Philadelphia polling station. They denounced the voters as “crackers” and vowed those voters would not be allowed to help defeat then-candidate Barack Obama. Their goal was to bully and intimidate. This was a clear case of violation of voting rights. Such behavior may occur with impunity in banana republics - not in the world’s leading democracy. Rep. John Culberson, Texas Republican, confronted the attorney general, demanding to know why the Justice Department refused to prosecute the Black Panthers - especially considering they were caught making the menacing gestures on tape. Mr. Holder shamelessly played the race card. He claimed to take offense at comments by civil rights activist Bartle Bull, who called it the most serious example of voter intimidation he had ever seen at the polls. “When you compare whatpeople 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 … to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line for MY PEOPLE,” Mr. Holder said. Excuse me - his “people”? This is one of the most outrageous - and divisive - statements by a senior government official in recent memory. His people are and should be the AMERICAN PEOPLE - all of us.Quoting from THE WASHINGTON TIMES: Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. should resign. He is a disgrace to his office and to his country.
