Hey, Eric Holder: Meet My People
Michelle Malkin .com ^ | March 4,2011 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 03/05/2011 2:11:15 PM PST by Hojczyk

My fellow Americans, who are “your people”? I ask because U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who is black, used the phrase “my people” in congressional testimony this week. It was an unmistakably color-coded and exclusionary reference intended to deflect criticism of the Obama Justice Department’s selective enforcement policies. It backfired.

In pandering to skin-deep identity politics and exacerbating race-consciousness, Holder has given the rest of us a golden opportunity to stand up, identify “our people” and show the liberal poseurs what post-racialism really looks like.

Herman Cain is my people. He’s my brother-in-arms. I’ve never met him. But we are family. We are kin because we are unhyphenated Americans who are comfortable in the black, brown and yellow skin we are in. We are growing in numbers — on college campuses, in elected office, on the Internet, on radio airwaves, everywhere. And that drives liberals mouth-frothing crazy.

Cain is the successful Georgia businessman who has wowed audiences across the country with his passion for free markets, free minds and the American Dream. The former president of Godfather’s Pizza and forceful tea party speaker happens to be black. So he must pay the price that all minority conservatives in public life must pay. As I noted last week, a cowardly liberal writer recently derided Cain as a “monkey in the window,” a “garbage pail kid” and a “minstrel” who performs for his “masters.”

Race traitors. Whores. Sellouts. House Niggas. Self-haters. I’ve heard it for nearly 20 years in public life. Every outspoken minority conservative has. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but these spiteful epithets can’t enslave us.

Val Prieto is my people. A fierce, freedom-loving American blogger of Cuban descent, he rejects race-card games and refuses to be lumped in with Hispanic ethnic grievance-mongers.

Between the refusal to defend DOMA and these civil rights violations, it should be clear that Obama and Holder are unfit to serve the Country due to their prejudicial behavior and decisions.

Use the above, but delete the plus signs "+"...

You can also specify size of picture, etc. Check here for an HTML tutorial.

My prediction: the RACIST democrats are gong to have a terrible time in election 2012...

their RACE CARD is maxed out - overdrawn - and they are piling up penalties. They'll be all but speechless without the RACE CARD.

So as another poster pointed out, that means you have to have the link to the image that you want to display. Plus, read the HTML primer the poster included. :)

This is twice now that Holder has revealed his racism when it comes to his decision process.

Why cannot he be removed?

Certainly, long before now, had a white AG made the comparable attestations, he would have been hanging by the yardarm long ago.

This is blatantly illegal.

Why isn't Congress moving to remove him?

I’m a Palin guy, but damn, that would make a GREAT bumper sticker.

“Honkeys for Herman!”-—post of the day.

“My People” might be well represented by the picture of the Mall taken from the Washington Monument on 8/28/10 (a/k/a the Beck rally).
