AME church rips vote on Eric Holder
Politico ^ | July 4, 2012 | MJ Lee

Posted on 07/04/2012 3:35:47 PM PDT by upchuck

The African Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the most prominent black denominations in the country, is blasting the House vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress last week, comparing the move to the “evil strategies employed following the Reconstruction era.”

...

“Those who have held Attorney General Holder, America’s first African-American attorney general, in contempt have been consistently and systematically disrespectful of the attorney general and of President Barack Obama,” the resolution read. “The attack against Attorney General Holder comes after his stated intent to determine whether recent laws passed to combat non-existent voter fraud are actually efforts at voter suppression that violate the Voting Rights Act.”

"AME church rips vote on Eric Holder" Of course they did.

And, IIRC, the contempt vote had absolutely nothing to do with voter rights.

The African Methodist Episcopal Church is obviously racsist.

Doesn't matter if you're a bigot.

Let’s see now, what’s that about non-political involvement and tax exemptions?

Sounds like a 501(c)3 violation.

We respect their president and attorney general as much as they respected ours.

Obviously thy fail to recognize that respect is earned and aiding and abetting murdering thieving drug dealers is not the ideal way to earn it. No wonder the black community is in such turmoil.

No surprise that the HEIRARCHY of the AME Church did this. But I’d love to know what percentage of the folks in the pews agree with it.....albeit, if the “folks” only get their news from the mainslimes, they know little or nothing about Holder, et al. Anyone who only watches the mainslime channels is unknowingly getting “The Mushroom Treatment”.....which for you folks in Rio Linda means they are “being fed hor$e$h!t and KEPT IN THE DARK!

So when is the IRS going to yank the AME non-taxable status for being so blatantly political from the pulpit?

he is a Barbadian-American, not african American, although I suppose many of his supporters don’t know the difference.

No one is surprised about this. I knew when Obama was elected that this crap would come along eventually/

Anyone familiar with Washington DC an Marion Barry could have predicted this.

It’s from the same playbook. The same page.

Cover for the black dude no matter what he does.
Racists accusing others of racism

Facts do not mean a thing, the Honkies is picking on the black man. Taught to their progeny from the moment they are born.

Good evening. I hope you are doing well.

With this "pronouncement," the AME is stating that they don't care about the rule of law, or they themselves are racists.
