Attorney General Eric Holder slammed former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin Sunday, saying she is neither a very good legal scholar nor an effective vice presidential candidate.
He also said he believed that some critics of the president attack him because he is the nation's first black president.
Fielding a question about Palin's call last week to impeach President Obama, Holder told ABC's “This Week” that the former vice president candidate "wasn't a particularly good vice presidential candidate (in 2008). She's an even worse judge of who ought to be impeached and why."
Palin is only part of a growing Republican chorus calling for Obama’s impeachment for everything from his handling of the spike in illegal border crossings to excessive use of executive orders in healthcare and other areas.
"For whatever reason, (some) Republicans decided early on that this was a president they were just simply not going to cooperate with," Holder said. "And over the past five-and-a-half years, we have seen demonstrations of that, where the president has reached out his hand, offered compromises that have simply not been met (in the way) they have been in the past by a Republican Party willing to do the appropriate things."
Holder also blasted House Republicans’ plans to sue Obama over executive changes made to Obamacare.

Holder said that he believed that Obama is subject to "a certain level of vehemence" that is partly racial.

Eric Holder criticizing anyone else’s grasp of the law is quite hilarious.
Barry is Black?
Could have fooled me.
“I have to tell you Sen. Obama is a decent person and a person you don’t have to be scared of as president of the United States. He’s a decent family man [and] citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that’s what this campaign’s all about.” ~Senator John McCain, October 10, 2008
Laughable. If anyone has been racist as Atty General it’s been this bigot.
Would love to see his transcripts and test scores. Bet he’s just like the Obambis, pushed thru the system just becoz of their race.
Holder’s impeachment will make perfect sense.
We need a Venn diagram. With so many critics of Obama, and so many racists, there is bound to be some overlap. Unless he is saying that all critics of Obama are racists, he really has no point!

Eric Holder, for some reason, obviously hates women.
Anytime anyone disagrees with Maobama/Holder about anything, he’s “racist” according to these folks.
What a whiner. Why is it nobody in this administration can take one to the chops (metaphorically speaking) without crying about it?
Politics is a big boy game, Mr. Holder. Either put on your big boy pants or go home.
Does he mean racists...like Eric Holder?
Race baiter Eric Holder says Americans are afraid to talk about race. What a clown this guy is.
The left wing had determined that I am a racist because I am white. It is in my genes./s
1. this opinion is also held by Mark Levin, and
2. Levin possesses more knowledge about the law and the Constitution in his little finger than Eric the Red does in his entire body...
The nod goes to Gov Palin.
He might be right. I've suspected the Men Seeking Men media to be racists for some time now....

Get whitey Holder is a racist. Typical liberal fascist projection.
“Some are born with a racist-label, some achieve a racist-label and some have racist-labels thrust upon them”
