Eric Holder: Worst AG Ever? - Page 5 - Politics and Economics

Congress did figure this out eventually and created the Independent Counsel law. It didn't really work and the law was allowed to expire.

We're going to be hearing that alot for the next few months.

We will be hearing it forever and ever as long as either the House or Senate is held by a party not also occupying the White House. Welcome to America.

Fyp

It just seemed no one, anywhere, had anything good to say about Holder. And I can't imagine that there were many past AG's who are likely to be held in contempt of congress, due to the Repub. majority.

OP was more of asking than telling because I really don't know. And I never cared about politics until recently, mainly due to my age, sorry that upsets you for some reason.

I guess people here just don't care about Fast & Furious?

Threads with titles like this without a comparison to other things in the OP are merely propaganda.
By definition, calling someone the worst requires you to tell exactly what they are worst than and why. Seeing as how there have been 82 AG, you could at lest compare his decision to 3-4 of the worst and explain why you feel the way you do in OP.

Perhaps if you spent as much time forming your point of view as you do to creating these kind of threads, you would be of some use. Otherwise please stop

P.S.

Spoiler:

If a person spouts out non-sense about poker being rigged in OP without any basis, they get permabanned, but if you spout out non-sense about politics without any basis then you stay open?

Wat? I think I've started two threads in Politics, took me about 5 mins total... And I, again, was asking not telling read the thread.

In my life time, Eric Holder is the most political Attorney General I can recall. I thought Thomas Sowell had a nice article on him recently.

"Holder Shows Racial Bias In Enforcing Voter Rights"

http://news.investors.com/article/61...nforcement.htm

snippet from his article:

Quote:

Attorney General Eric Holder recently told a group of black clergymen that the right to vote was being threatened by people who are seeking to block access to the ballot box by blacks and other minorities.

This is truly world-class chutzpah, by an attorney general who stopped attorneys in his own Department of Justice from completing the prosecution of black thugs who stationed themselves outside a Philadelphia voting site to harass and intimidate white voters.

This may have seemed like a small episode to some at the time, but it was only the proverbial tip of the iceberg.

The U.S. attorney who was prosecuting that case — J. Christian Adams — resigned from the Department of Justice in protest, and wrote a book about a whole array of similar race-based decisions on voting rights by Eric Holder and his subordinates.

The book is titled "Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department."

It names names, dates and places around the country where the Department of Justice stopped its own attorneys from pursuing cases of voter fraud and intimidation, when it was blacks who were accused of these crimes.

If Mr. Adams is lying, he has taken a huge risk in citing individuals by name and quoting them directly.

Yet, despite the fact that most of those he accuses are lawyers, apparently no one has sued him. Moreover, Adams has also testified under oath before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, on the racial double standard at the Department of Justice, when it comes to voting rights.

Awww yeah. This thread is about to get good.

FLY BATSIGNAL

FlyWf · 06-12-2012, 05:31 PM

Man the NBPP thing was already in the OP, but I didn't know J. Christian Adams was trying to capitalize on the NBPP scandal by writing a book that, to quote Amazon's description of it, leavers how "the DOJ has repeatedly sided with political bosses who flagrantly disenfranchise entire communities of white voters".

LOL you wanna talk about chutzpah?

TalkingDonkey · 06-12-2012, 06:34 PM

Yeah Alberto Gonzales says hi. Nothing like firing some U.S. Attorneys for the crime of being Democrats (or refusing to prosecute Democrats) and lying about it to Congress.

Again, do people have such bad memory that they can't remember the administration directly before this one, where attorneys were fired for not being political enough?

Also, I'm not sure if there is anyone as self-hating as Thomas Sowell.

gusmahler · 06-12-2012, 06:41 PM

Nothing like selling guns to Mexican drug lords, then lying to Congress about it.
