Holder's Chutzpah
American Spectator ^ | 05 june 2012 | Thomas Sowell

Posted on 06/05/2012 6:29:38 AM PDT by rellimpank

The man is not stupid, despite his other failings.

Attorney General Eric Holder recently told a group of black clergymen that the right to vote was being threatened by people who are seeking to block access to the ballot box by blacks and other minorities.

This is truly world-class chutzpah, by an Attorney General who stopped attorneys in his own Department of Justice from completing the prosecution of black thugs who stationed themselves outside a Philadelphia voting site to harass and intimidate white voters.

Remember it was supposely conservative Republicans like Jeff Sessions who approved Holder for this job.

“Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, for example, said he was sure that Mr. Holder would be “a responsible legal officer and not a politician.”

I take extreme and deliberate exception to Sowell's opening posit. Were Holder not as stupid as a rotted stump, he wouldn't be a Liberal Extremist. Like many Liberals and an equal percentage of petulant, finger-pointing Blacks, he's capable of mimicking intelligent people well enough to be mistaken for someone with an actual working brain. But when it becomes necessary to actually think original thoughts and do so effectively, he runs straight into a brick wall he can neither get through, over or around.

He's an idiot with severely defective ratiocinational function, and will end up behind bars for his Treason against America. And, quite frankly, jail is too good for vermin of his ilk. He should be tried, convicted, and hung for Treason Against America During Wartime in the strict matter of Due Process of The Law.

IMHO

Holder is only an idiot if you assume he wants what he says he wants. If he is only concerned about naked power, both taking and keeping it then there’s no indication that he’s dumb.

Only be assuming a level of morality and honestly can you call him dumb. For an amoral scum who doesn’t care about the damage he does to accomplish his goals, he’s right on track. I mean nobody with the power to stop him is calling him on it after all.

I strongly disagree. Not stupid; Evil. Remember, this is the guy who put together the Marc Rich pardon. That indicates tremendous corruption. And he's the guy who was one of the "engineers" of Fast & Furious, a program designed from the very beginning to subvert the Constitution of the United States, using dead bodies of Mexicans to sway public opinion in the US. Of course, he never counted on US agents being murdered with the guns he facilitated to be smuggled across international borders to drug cartels that are ostensibly at war with the government and people of Mexico. Or the fact that there were some in the BATFE who simply couldn't stomach the stench of the operation and come out with the facts.

No, Holder isn't stupid. He's EVIL, and that's a word I don't use lightly.

I think the NBPs’ with the batons were there to warn the non-white voters that they better stay in line.

Holder will one day be a regular citizen again. Consider how many Mexican families were victims of fast and furious. Prison might be safer.

I agree. Racists are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. If we ever decided to go after the left’s diversity racists legally, socially and politically, in the way we went after white racists, we would crush them in a New York minute.

For the moment, everyone is afraid of them like they used to be afraid of the violence and hate of white racists. If we went after the leaders of black racist violence - like Holder, Sharpton, the NOI, etc. directly, it would stop. We have to mow down the institutions of diversity racism.

Eric Holder is fast becoming a scary person. Who is pulling his strings? He doesn’t appear nor sound intelligent enough to tie his own shoes, much less hold the lofty position he has which is true of so many in this Administration. They all need to GO!!!
