You can buy your own pink drawers from Sheriff Joe to help support his youth program. Perfect Christmas gift. ;)
I checked into muffled other blogs. Look pretty interesting.
Here’s the latest:
DOJ Employees Invited to Hear Radical Lawyer Edelman and Others Complain
A Department of Justice source has alerted the Muffled Oar that the Department of Justice will be holding a seminar of community organizing activists for Department employees with an agenda of uncertain relevance to the Department’s statutory mission. The invitation reads:
“The Civil Division and the DOJ ProBono Program will host a panel presentation titled ‘Closing the Justice Gap: the increased need for expanded access to justice in tough economic times.’ From 12:30 to 1:30 October 27 in the DOJ conference center media briefing rooms 7411 at the main justice building. Civil division Assistant Attorney General Tony West moderates a panel of prominent leaders in the public interest and pro bono community, including Peter Edelman, Chair of the DC Access to justice Commission; Maureen Syracuse, Director of the DC Bar Pro Bono Program and Chair of the DC Consortium of Legal Services Providers, and Eric Jackson, Vice Chair of the DC Bar Pro Bono Committee. The panel will discuss issues involving access to justice for low income Americans, how the current economic crisis has affected legal services nationally and in DC, and emerging new roles for pro bono attorneys. The event is open to all federal employees. For more information, contact Laura Klein. DOJ Pro Bono Manager at 202-353”
Federal employees will be attending the seminar and reporting back to the Muffled Oar all of the content of the seminar.
Peter Edelman is married to fringe activist and Saul Alinsky eulogist Marian Wright Edelman. Peter Edelman was Chair of the radical New World Foundation which purports to advocate for one world government and other radical causes. He was nominated for a federal court seat but could not obtain Senate confirmation because of his extremist views. He serves on the board of the Center for Community Change, which is designed to “establish community organizing groups across the country.” He works with the pro-illegal immigration group the Fair Immigration Reform Movement. He also serves on the board of the Center for Law and Social Policy, a group that seeks federal money for radical leftist causes.
Maureen Syracuse, a DC Bar employee, makes it clear where her biases lie: “The downturn hit our vulnerable neighbors unflinchingly. Many suddenly found themselves without housing, perhaps because a landlord had been foreclosed on and (illegally) ordered tenants to vacate. As layoffs swept across every sector, our clients scrambled for jobs while their living wage became a poverty wage. Without the health care once provided by an employer, families faced mountains of medical debt. Our clients had so much at stake, and the recession tipped their already delicate balance.” No doubt she was tempted to blame Bush - but even the DC Bar has limits.
Jackson is vice-chair of the Pro Bono Committee of the DC Bar. The DC Bar is a professional licensing organization for lawyers. The 2009 annual report, however, sounds like an auxiliary of the Obama administration. It states: “Challenges and Changes: Fiscal year 2008–2009 has been nothing short of historic and, for all its booms and busts, is best summed up in a single word: change. For the D.C. Bar, 90,000-plus members strong and counting, ‘change’ is a fitting description of the past year as it broke new ground and rallied for bold actions to anticipate future needs and challenges.” So what does this change amount to? “One of the concrete ways the Bar embraced change this year was by relocating its headquarters.”
Something else Syracuse, Edelman and Jackson have in common is that they are all big financial donors to Democrats – including President Obama. Syracuse gave money to failed Virginia Democrat Brian Moran, Jim Webb, John Kerry for President, Emily’s List, and her husband Michael gave Obama at least $1,450. Edelman gave Obama at least $2,300 and 21st Century Democrats $1,000, just in the last two years. Of course Jackson also is an Obama donor, giving $600 to Obama and $1,000 for a Minnesota Democrat for U.S. Senate in the last two years.
The Muffled Oar predicts that the Department is about to engage in behavior and actions which have a tenuous relationship to the statutory powers of the Department. But it will appeal to the community organizing base. Anti-landlord. Anti-lender. Anti-business. And ultimately, Anti-Rule of Law. The Muffled Oar will listen, watch and report.

!LMAO!,,,I’ll pass on that...;0)
I have been aghast at the amount of evil coming from the left, and now it is ensconced in our government to the point of no return.
They are sending our Military to die in a godforsaken hellhole far away from mother and country with no end in sight.
They are hamstringing legitmate Law Enforcement with idiot and BOGUS “civil rights” laws that flaunt their utter malevolence towards the Constitution.
They have taken over the courts, the banks, American industry, whole cities, local schoolboards, and our neighborhoods block by block.
They will proceed to take over your right to live or die.
When, for the sake of heaven, will the American People say enough is enough???

“...Moreover, one of the Civil Rights Division’s little-known secrets — one that should concern many Americans — is that SPL attorneys, to justify opening an invasive investigation, typically do little more than troll through newspaper articles or contact the local ACLU or NAACP chapter to find complaints...

...More incredible still, the attorney assigned to the Maricopa County investigation, Je Yon Jung, is an active member and former national governing-board representative of the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum, a left-wing organization that believes all “undocumented” immigrants should be granted citizenship. Ms. Jung maxed out in contributions to President Obama’s campaign and recently applied for a judgeship in the District of Columbia — a position to which President Obama will appoint a candidate...
Hopefully enough will to stop it. I just read the (booted judge) Alce Hastings amendment regarding hate crimes. Anyone that communicates on a blog, comments, owns can be considered affiliated with a “hate group” and no, “whites” can’t have hate crimes committed against them unless they are gay.
Unless one is dedicated to uncovering the truth (not trusting katie for their sole news source), they’ll never know what hit them until it’s done.
Buy two. Iron ZERO decals on them and use them for mudflaps.
thanks for the link. i can’t believe how many of these lefties are part of the administration, entrenched in the govt. frightening.
love this part:

**perfect judicial appt. /S
SPL now looking for a way to stop Oathkeepers. I’d like to see them walk through a dark alley in Detroit in the middle of the night.
I have never heard Sheriff Joe Arpaio make a statement like this. I have heard him say many, many, many times that he works for the people of Maricopa County who duly elected him. And they, by the way, love him.
ANY CITIZEN is empowered to aid, assist, and become involved in the arrest of a crimminal. Byte me DOJ. Wouldn’t Capone, Bonnie and Clyde, Dillenger, Pretty Boy Floyd etc. have a ball with this ‘’dept of justice??’’
I like your spunk. :)
The U.S. Justice Dept. is about as pro American Constitution as is the Dept. of State.
Dissolve both fire All their employees and help America.
This ought to up the ante for the main stream media.
Will they allow their profession to be used by members of the administration to be used?
Ms. Yong Jung (Phonetic) confirmed that those who REFUSED TO PROVIDE ID TO THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT WERE Department of Justice Officials.
Hey Mark, is this cause for disbarment????
Good gracious! Instead of such a rude comment why not help out a see if you could find it! At least she let us know it was a phonetic spelling and not some made up name.
I got a feeling he will bring it up. This will go viral by the end of the day (at least on Fox NEWS)
Fox and FRiends.
Major tyrants can only become major through the actions of a million petty tyrants.
And an acquiescent citizenry.
