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.

I never thought I would say this about the American press, but everyone knows they hold things back, lie, altar, and distort information, so I daresay that they wouldn’t be trusted with what they did report anyway.
Obama was chosen because he could be counted on to being in the black vote, almost at a hundred percent. Hillary wouldnt’ be able to bring in teh black vote and frankly a FReeper mentioned before the election that a black woman was interviewed who stated frankly that they would go for OBama, but not Hillary.
I have to wonder, if blacks see authority positions as just another place to have unchecked fun with. All about acting like a peasant who has been crowned a baronet and fancies themselves as kings. This is what I will never understand about them. They can’t seem to handle being in authority positions without abusing it.
Just imagine if a career civil rights attorney at DOJ had testified like this during the Bush administration: The MSM would be howling at the top of their lungs 24/7 for congressional hearings and for the AG to resign.
In fact, the firestorm would be so intense that by Sunday the AG would have either resigned or been fired.
But is this screaming front page headlines on the NYT or WaPo today? Let’s check. Hmmmm...NYT...not a mention....Wapo....nothing....
It’s not only within the DOJ that there exists an outrageous double-standard.
The GOP won’t do jack about it. Those hand-wringing pansies are too afraid of being called “racist” to do anything except wet themselves.
Yeah, Hillary put those people in there and Bush did nothing to weed them out. Then zero added more and more.
I think you're on to something. It's a cool-sounding name that will make people want to know what the heck it's about. It will also draw the interest of those prurient individuals who think Panther might be the next stage in the MILF>Cougar>SabreTooth spectrum, maybe representing the 70-90 year-old demographic.
The only way to defeat America is to defeat whites.
The fact that most blacks are racist as hell is a surprise to whom? Publicly educated citizens? Marxist indoctrinated students? Seriously. This has been coming for a long time. We have allowed for the teaching of white racial hatred in our education systems for decades, allowed for AA and all kinds of race quotas because the evil white man has it coming, Marxist take over of our press, schools and government and yet some people act all surprised?
Pajama's Media TV full video of the hearing; all 3H 24M 40S
And he better use a mirror to check under his car before starting it every morning.
Is there a Coates Benevelent fund?
Thank you and OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! :)
If we accept it as a given, yes. But legal and illegal immigration are controlable variables if we have the polticial will to change our current policies.
LOL. Hillary would have gotten the black vote just like Kerry did and Clinton before him. Obama got 95% in 2008 and Kerry got 88% in 2004. Hillary, the wife of our first black President, would have received over 90%. The only issue would be turnout. Obama got a huge turnout because of obvious reasons.
“After November I EXPECT that the new congress will be handing out subpoenas like candy..... “
Darn, I hope so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Being biracial, does that mean Obama hates himself?/sarc
The MSM are traitors to this country. The MSM are turncoats.
Some might be brave enough to do something if they win a majority such as Issa et al.
