No biggiee, the feds treat the makers as tax slaves
Where’s the liberal outcry on Obama’s abuses? Hmm??
Maybe the author hasn’t been to Chicago?
I live in one of the most liberal states, sounds like business as usual out here on the left coast.
The Atlantic is right: the situation with the massive corruption/revenue enhancement racket in Ferguson is a natural issue for Conservatives to seize upon.
The reason why we don’t is that it’s already been co-opted as a racial grievance issue by folks who are using it to actively push forward a larger agenda that runs counter to our interests.
Where’s the Democratic/Leftist (but I repeat myself) outcry on railroading Darren Wilson and George Zimmerman and the hundreds of knockout game and polar bear attacks?
Yawn.
Without looking, I’m guessing that Ferguson Missouri is run by Democrats.
Yet somehow what’s going on there is all my fault????
From The Atlantic.
The Atlantic is full of old wrecks, garbage, crabs and crap. It is also the name of an ocean.
Isn't this claim based on the "Investigations" of the Holder "Justice" Department?
I don't regard as credible anything they have to say regarding the issue of Ferguson. They went in looking for a racist scape goat, and I just assumed when they couldn't find one, they created one.
Also reading the examples mentioned in the article, I don't see them as being very different from what I've seen in the past from my own area.
Evidently Conor Friedersdorf does not read the Powerline Blog where the Ferguson fleecing of citizens was roundly criticized - or maybe Conor did read it, but his nose was out of joint because the article also pointed out how liberal-run cities such as Washington, DC and New York City are equal-opportunity offenders.
Well, Conor, if we had the slightest trust that Holder was telling anywhere near the truth about it, we would be outraged.
Maybe if your beloved Department of JustUs had ANY history of being honest and honorable about their operations, investigations, enforcement and agenda, we would take this more seriously.
Interesting. The author lives in “toney” (I hate that word) Venice, California, not in crime-riddled Ferguson/St. Louis.
It’s nice to talk the talk, but how about walking the walk and move there, Connor?
You’d last about 30 minutes. There are more Michael Brown’s out there than you want to acknowledge.
The BIG story was that the whole ‘hands up don’t shoot was based on a lie.
MSM ignores that. Instead, talks about some stupid email (where are Hillary’s?) and keeps the black victimhood machine going.
The people of Ferguson elected their abusers.
This author is a well-known moron.
Coming soon to a PD near you.
White people will be targeted for arrests.
Black arrests will be avoided.
Don’t want to be called racist by the DOJ.
From his name, the author of this drek appears to be Irish-German. He should stop writing about politics and concentrate on ruthless drinking.
