The Post’s decision to change a man’s name for him is controversial.

Like president Barry Soetoro.

I will actually go to their website to read that article...one of the very few times I have ever done so.

About damn time.

The Post is reading the tea leaves on the up coming election and has concluded that to stay alive financially and try to rehabilitate itself somewhat, it better slide back a little from its ultra liberal perch. I call the maneuver, johnnie-come-lately pandering, you can call it whatever you want.

This is actually one area where impeachment could be justified. It’s a story that people easily “get.”

Found this from a Bio page about her: Ms. Schiller earned her master's degree in Russian from Middlebury College in 1984 and her bachelor's degree in Russian and Soviet Studies from Cornell University in 1983.

Hmmm....

Here’s your October surprise: Obama fires Holder. Their polling on black turnout must be really bad. They’re not worried about upsetting the black base. Besides, they know no blacks will vote republican anyway.

The money line is buried at the end of the article (on purpose?):

In the months after the case ended, tensions persisted. A new supervisor, Julie Fernandes, arrived to oversee the voting section, and Coates testified that she told attorneys at a September 2009 lunch that the Obama administration was interested in filing cases - under a key voting rights section - only on behalf of minorities.

"Everyone in the room understood exactly what she meant," Coates said. "No more cases like the Ike Brown or New Black Panther Party cases."

the Obama administration was interested in filing cases only on behalf of minorities.

Is this the post-racial presidency Obama promised? The article points out earlier that Bush was using a race-neutral approach--exactly what people would expect from a post racial presidency.

Who was the real post-racial president: Obama or Bush?

Saturday news from the comPost and the NYSlimes always disappears into the ether. That’s why they print truth on Saturday.

NO ONE READS THE SATURDAY PAPERS

couple points -

The clash between the black nationalist and the white lawyer has mushroomed into a fierce debate over the government's enforcement of civil rights laws, a dispute that will be aired next week when the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights unveils findings from a year-long investigation.

Stay Tuned!

The dispute over the Panthers, and the Justice Department's handling of it, was politicized from the start, documents and interviews show. On Election Day, the issue was driven by Republican poll watchers and officials and a conservative Web site.

Free Republic, right?

The story is slated for Saturday’s print edition.
How convenient. No weekday talking heads will be saying "In today's Washington Post..."
We'll see if it makes it into the coming week's publicity round or if the story goes dormant with the SCM.

While much of the article was written in a straightforward and factual manner (which clearly makes it a damning indictment of the racists in both career positions and political appointments at Justice), the author repeatedly attempts to bend over backwards by adding in “mitigating circumstances” to try and soften the blow to Holder and Obama.

Why would a Democratic Party house organ, a blatantly biased Socialist agitprop machine that took down a Republican President of the United States, undermine the Justice Department of a sitting DemonRat President? And why did they wait so long to do it?

1. Hillary Clinton and the Clinton mob are taking Obama out. The Clinton mob versus the Chicago mob. THIS IS THE LEFT TAKING OBAMA OUT!!!! So Hillary can run in 2012. OBAMA IS A LOSER.

2. The reason the Post waited until now: Obama is destroying the Democratic Party, perhaps for a generation. His radicalism is so blatant, that it has exposed the true agenda of the DemonRat Party and everday Americans, including Democrat voters are appalled.

This story needs to be bumped, and bumped, and bumped, and bumped some more.
