Holder sees "racial animus" in opposition
The Hill ^ | July 14, 2014 | Justin Sink

Posted on 07/13/2014 11:10:00 AM PDT by Biggirl

Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday he and President Obama have been targets of “a racial animus” by some of the administration’s political opponents. “There's a certain level of vehemence, it seems to me, that's directed at me [and] directed at the president,” Holder told ABC. “You know, people talking about taking their country back. … There's a certain racial component to this for some people. I don’t think this is the thing that is a main driver, but for some there's a racial animus."

“I don’t think this is the thing that is a main driver, but for some there’s a racial animus.”

Then why don’t you tell us, o brave crusader for your race-bating, what *is* the main driver?

No Eric, our complete and utter disdain for you and your corrupt boss has nothing to do with your supposed race.

“Taking our country back” from America-hating socialists, but you wouldn’t understand that so you play the race card.

Back in the real world, federal court judge Reggie Walton ruled in the new Black Panthers case that Holder’s Dept. of Justice had wrongfully refused to respond to discovery requests that evidenced political machinations in the DOJ’s decision to not prosecute the Pampers ...
despite the DOJ’s initial protests and insistence that their decision was based solely upon facts and law.

So, again, back in the real world—where there is in fact no racist cracka waiting behind every tree to keep the black man down—affirmative action products Holder and Obama face a hearing before the same judge to show whether their IRS was in fact punishing political opponents, which could be shown or disproved by production by the president of the discovery documents that to date they have refused to supply.

Leading us again to the inescapable question—doth this administration protest too much? When you don’t have the facts, argue the law, and if you don’t have the law, argue the facts. If you don’t have the facts or the law, abuse your opponents by calling them “racists.”
This s*** is beyond old and tired, like this administration.

So, there you go...Boehner and the House Republicans are racists for conducting congressional oversight (or what passes for it).

That would only make sense, since everything Derrick does is based on his own racial animus.

Obambi, his entire administration, DemoncRATS, the Drive-By Media all have an Animus to America, an Animus to the U.S. Constitution, an Animus to Christians, Jews, and an Animus to all that is good and right in this world.

A tailored and totally meaningless talking point that matters only to the MSM. No matter how you look at it, to say that ‘some’ nameless people oppose because of despicable reasons, is utterly insignificant as there is ALWAYS somebody on the fringe. A.G. Holder came into office talking about ‘RACE’ and he will leave it talking about the same thing! The content of his CHARACTER is not what Dr. King was hoping for.

No racism. It”’a the rule of law, Eric. Despite your position, neither you nor the Resident respect the law. Until the rule of law is respected and we have a functioning secure border, there will NEVER be AMNESTY! Comprende?

Samuel Johnson said that Patriotism was the last refuge of scoundrels. In the case of the post modern “Democrat,” racial allegations are the first refuge of these scoundrels.

Holder proved himself a consummate racist long ago:

“Attorney J. Christian Adams, who resigned from Justice in 2010 to protest the handling of the Black Panther case, testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights that he was told “cases are not going to be brought against black defendants for the benefit of white victims.”

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/apr/10/holders-black-panther-blind-spot/

this could just as well be translated into the DOJ/Zero attitude towards unbridled non-white immigration...

to them, it’s a knockout game, Presidential style
