From Lou Dobbs:
Holder's New Black Panthers Problem
Jul-07-2010
Attorney General Eric Holder dropped a case of voter intimidation against the Black Panthers. Now one of his former employees says it's political motivated. And see just who he let off the hook.
According to this Fox News Report, "An ex-Justice official who quit over the handling of a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party accused his former employer of instructing attorneys in the civil rights division to ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims.
"J. Christian Adams, testifying Tuesday before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, said that 'over and over and over again,' the department showed 'hostility' toward those cases. He described the Black Panther case as one example of that -- he defended the legitimacy of the suit and said his 'blood boiled' when he heard a Justice official claim the case wasn't solid.
"'It is false,' Adams said of the claim.
"'We abetted wrongdoing and abandoned law-abiding citizens,' he later testified.
"The department abandoned the New Black Panther case last year. It stemmed from an incident on Election Day in 2008 in Philadelphia, where members of the party were videotaped in front of a polling place, dressed in military-style uniforms and allegedly hurling racial slurs while one brandished a night stick."
Meet one of the oh-so-nice Black Panthers who Holder's Justice Department let off the hook. Hint: He doesn't love white people:
Such a fine young man. And now he's off scot-free. Thanks, Eric Holder!
