Republican Rep. Frank Wolf is accusing Attorney General Holder of ignoring his requests for an explanation why the Justice Department dismissed charges of voter intimidation filed against two members of the New Black Panther Party.
The case relates to allegations that members of the New Black Panthers interfered with voters trying to enter a Philadelphia polling station on Election Day 2008.
The Hill newspaper first reported Monday that Wolf, R-Va., also asked Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers to hold a hearing, saying one Black Panther member at the polling place was allegedly carrying a local Democratic committee card.
In a letter dated June 8 to Holder, Wolf wrote that he could not understand how the department could drop the case.
"I worry that the department's commitment to protecting the 'fundamental right to vote' is wavering under your leadership. I fail to understand how you could dismiss a legitimate case against a party that deployed armed men to a polling station -- one of whom brandished a weapon to voters -- who harassed and intimidated voters, and could then decide such actions do not constitute a violation" of the Voting Rights Act, Wolf wrote.

I want an explanation from the DOJ and Holder as to why they have failed to investigate Barry over the illegal firing of the AmeriCorps IG...
That is a no brainer
The list, ping
Justice and the MSM are not interested in big dudes standing in the doorway with billy-clubs, scowls, and harsh words. More interesting are complaints by “historically disadvantaged” groups who saw a traffic cone miles away from the polling place and naturally assumed that meant the cops would beat them if they went any further. Or people who took seriously annonymous fliers stuck under their windsheilds informing them that the election had been moved to Wednesday.
Move on folks...nothing to see here.....keep moving...
Holder: “It’s because they’re not the WHITE panthers.”
Uhhh, because Holder, like his boss, is a racist.
One question?
WHO hired them ?
“It would be interesting to see Colin Powell bend himself into a pretzel talking about this topic. “
Not really. Mr. Powell has shown himself as a racist liberal. I have no interest in what Mr. Powell thinks, or any of the mental gymnastics that he’d attempt to try to prove himself a conservative.
The Left hates facts. We need to purge them from office.
Too obvious.
Why?
Obama and his ultracorrupt administration will support
any terrorist, any criminal activity against the
American people.
Black Democrats in charge and you expect fairness?
Black Democrats in charge and you expect fairness?
Reality, indeed, never favors leftist ideology,
as it is based on lies and the spirit of lies.
Does anyone have a recording of said thug saying “you’re gonna be ruled by the black man, cracker!”
This has the appearance of corruption.
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
Don’t worry I’m sure they will do it again in 2010 and 2012.
Get them on tape again.
When I told my wife she did one of those “WHAT!” things.
