Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez has an obligation to clean house at the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. That's clear after explosive new whistle-blower testimony under oath Friday in the New Black Panther Party voter-intimidation case, which triggers a pledge Mr. Perez made under oath on May 14. Failure to fire some officials and to radically revamp practices in the Civil Rights Division would represent clear dereliction of duty by Mr. Perez.
Friday's testimony to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights came from much-decorated Justice Department veteran Christopher Coates, a hero of the civil rights legal community when he was a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union. "The election of President Obama," he said, "brought to positions of influence and power with the Civil Rights Division many of the very people who had demonstrated hostility to the concept of equal enforcement of the Voting Rights Act."
Mr. Coates named names and gave numerous examples of how the division and its political supervisors refuse to enforce civil rights laws to protect white victims against black perpetrators. He said his supervisor, Loretta King, then serving in a political position as acting assistant attorney general, specifically forbade him from asking prospective employees if they would be willing to enforce civil rights laws in a race-neutral manner. Additionally, he testified that the department under Mr. Perez has refused to enforce federal law that requires states to remove ineligible voters - including dead people and incarcerated felons - from their voting rolls. Mr. Coates officially recommended a full year ago that the department enforce the law against at least eight states that were flagrantly noncompliant, but Mr. Perez and the Obama team ignored the issue.

For Obama to sit in a cauldron of hatred for 20 years and then claim he was unaffected is an absolute lie.
He knows he was affected!
People feed on hatred...it satisfies something deep inside. It opens a soul up to invasion by spirits of an altogether sinister nature.
What we are seeing in Obama is a person powerfully infected by hatred...but someone who is such a sociopath that he can lie about it with a straight face.
Unless and until Obama is removed from office, this country is in serious trouble.
I am going to go read the testimony now

Oh yeah, the Barack Panthers doing the work that Americans won’t do.
You and I don't agree on this subject. The news media has been on his team since day one. They pushed him on an ignorant population, solely because he was black. Never said a word about his past (and still haven't), his character, his ability to lead. They were all GaGa over him being the first "black" president and nothing else mattered. He was elected because of his color, period. He has no other characteristics that would put him out in front of anybody.

Prompted by the current DOJ scandal, and a History Channel on the Lincoln Assassination, the Booth manhunt, and the funeral train back to Springfield, that specifically omitted the word "democrat" from the script. Things like party boss Fernando Wood, (D), banning a funeral procession in New York City when the Lincoln cortege arrived.
Some things don't change.
I didn't see the first part of FNC's "Special Report without Brit Hume" so maybe they did mention it.
I don't see the public getting worked up over this. The idea that everyone is entitled to equal treatment went out the window long ago. Most people are used to the idea that the favored groups get special treatment (i.e., racial, linguistic, or sexual minorities).
As one digs into this a picture of a consistently corrupt DOJ is painted, under any administration but particularly under this one.
“At his request” Christopher Coates was transferred to South Carolina for at least 18 months (he is a 33 year federal employee, this should get him over the retirement hump). This was in December of last year. You can read here and maybe figure out why he asked to leave.

Political appointees abound in DOJ and with that a consistent thread of political activism and not equal enforcement of the law to all prevails.
Were I a spinator or congresscreep I would call for an investigation of the whole mess. It is just a plain old den of RATS.
I have lived and worked in some of the most corrupt countries on this earth, Nigeria, Angola, Russia, Venezuela, none of them have a thing on the United States.
OUR NATION IS CORRUPT TO THE CORE. As long as we allow it to persist we deserve to FAIL.
Well, I am pessimistic that anything will be done until conservatives regain control of Congress. And I can pray that this will open a lot of eyes out there to vote conservative in November.
We'll have to wait and see. But I can promise that what will happen as more and more average white Americans see and hear about this testimony one thing will happen. The Dems will no longer be able to advance agendas based on 'white guilt'. I can testify that any white guilt I may have had is totally squashed. I am mad as h*** and ready to fight. And I believe I will be joined by millions. The Dems may have screwed the pooch on this one even IF they manage to get away with it legally, they just lost the cultural war along with the use of the 'race card'. Now they've been exposed as the real racists.
They've screwed themselves on that now too. Since Obambi and his admn came TO POWER these blacks are now the RULING CLASS - its not just whites anymore holding that distinction.
And they've proven themselves to be even more oppressive than a KKK member could ever have hoped for IMO. There is nothing more racist and oppressive than tampering with voting rights - its not just racist - its treason.
And the most racist, clearly.
Bingo, but we shall not dwell on that here. The justice department, as well as most others like State are corrupted by the same commies that Roosevelt installed many years ago.
McCarthy was absolutely correct, but Alinsky rules were around before Alinsky. Ever wonder why Sean Penn is such a vitriolic communist supporter? Well his father was a major player in the commie Hollywood industry exposed by the House Unamerican Activities Committee.
All McCarthy did was ask why all these commies were still on the payroll, since the House had clearly identified them. History was changed and they stayed.
It’s not just white people. The left despises all innocent humans.
Hannity could not quit laughing long enough to have this explained to himself last night by Pat Caudil.
Went right over his head.
Rush suggested that the Colbert circus was staged just to assure that all reporters were covering that rather than these hearings.
Could be, but MSM can be counted on to ignore it and Fox and the internet will be buzzing about the Black Panther case and the Coates testimony. If that was their aim it won’t make any difference.
Amen
With the internet being what it is, and Twitter and Facebook, people will inevitably hear more and more and more about this. You can’t hide anything anymore and the MSM no longer has a full monopoly on getting information to the people or holding things back.
I don’t presume to speak for everyone of my generation (27), but I will be frank when I say that just because people my age cringe and walk on eggshells, does not mean that when we have control that it will always be that way. Blacks are very severely mistaken if they think that just because the hippies in power do so, that it will always be that way.
The TEA party is a manifestation of that viewpoint and I just wonder how so many conditioned blacks are going to cope when they are not catered to as expected. The hippies have created nothing but a fertile ground for conflict.
