Darrell Issa and his "investigation" shennigans.

[edthecynic]

There never was a criminal complaint that was dismissed. The Bush DOJ filed a civil complaint and six career DOJ lawyers worked on said complaint. That civil complaint was ignored by the New Black Panther Party and a judgement against the New Black Panther Party was made.

It was at this point that political appointees of the Obama Administration stepped in saying they wanted the case dropped. This action was taken by Loretta King and Steven Rosenbaum both Obama appointees. They did so over the strenuous objections of the six career DOJ lawyers who accused them of ignoring the concept of a color blind application of the law.

The DOJ trial attorney's assigned to this case appeal the decision and it is sent to the Appellate Section for review by Rosenbaum. The Appellate Section reviews the facts of the case and recommends going ahead with the cases against all four defendants. Two days after receiving this recommendation the Holder DOJ drops charges against everyone but Shabazz and reducing his injunctive to not being allowed to carry a weapon at a polling place...something that was already prohibited.

At this time the US Commission on Civil Rights issues subpoenas to the DOJ asking for information as to why the case was dropped. The Holder DOJ orders the attorney's working on the case not to respond to the subpoenas.

And spare me the "Media Matters" cite as "proof" of anything, Ed. If you need to go THERE then I think we both know your argument is already DOA.

Thomas Perez testifies in front of the Commission defending the decision to drop the case...Perez's testimony so angers attorney Adams that he tenders his resignation from the DOJ.

Both attorneys Adams and Coates subsequently testified that Thomas Perez's testimony to the Commission was "inaccurate".

Oh BULLSHIT!

No Proof in New Black Panther Case: Official - CBS News

Earlier this month former Justice Department lawyer and Republican activist J. Christian Adams testified to the commission that senior officials in the department are not applying voting rights laws in a race-neutral way, by refusing to press charges against African Americans on these issues.

A recent Media Matters investigation has debunked charges that the Obama administration withdrew criminal charges against the Panthers (in fact, the Bush administration decided not to pursue criminal charges, with Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez testifying that the Bush Justice Department "determined that the facts did not constitute a prosecutable violation of the criminal statutes"

And why is it we should believe Assistant Attorney General Perez? He's the man that both Adams and Coates accused of being "inaccurate" in his testimony.

Do you dispute the fact that the "career attorney's" at the DOJ who were working on the New Black Panther case were incensed at the decision by Obama political appointees at DOJ to drop charges? Do you deny the fact that those attorneys were ordered not to talk about the case by those same political appointees? Do you deny the fact that two of those attorneys felt so strongly about the injustice they saw that they resigned their jobs at the DOJ so that they COULD talk about what took place there? Do you deny the fact that Obama appointees to the DOJ stonewalled the investigation?

Oh, and Ed? If the best you can do to bolster your argument is a cite from "Media Matters" than it's obvious that you've got nothing.

Again a complete misrepresentation of both Adams and Coates as well as the "career attorneys." Don't you ever get tired of lying???

Two Arrested in Disney Insider Trading Sting | Main Justice of the key players in the Black Panther case – former Voting Section attorney J. Christian Adams and section Deputy Chief Robert Popper — had been hired in 2005 by under a process that a joint DOJ Inspector General and OPR report later concluded violated laws intended to keep career civil service jobs free of politics.
J. Christian Adams (photo by Main Justice)

Adams has been a conservative activist with the Federalist Society and a group sponsored by the Republican National Committee. Popper had written extensively about voting laws and gerrymandering from a conservative perspective.
Then-Assistant Attorney General Brad Schlozman, who hired them, referred to liberals as “commie pinkos” and the Voting Section attorneys as “mold spores,” the IG-OPR report documented.
Their ally in the matter was a career DOJ lawyer, Coates, then the chief of the Voting Section, who would later accuse the department of not enforcing voting laws in a “race neutral” manner.
By the time Rosenbaum and another career Civil Rights Division lawyer, Loretta King, began leading the division on an acting basis in the early months of the Obama administration, mistrust between the veterans and the Bush hires was high.
Both sides thought the other were pursuing ideological agendas, news reports of the turmoil in the division during the Bush years made clear.

So the people who were the political appointees were appointed by Bush and the career attorneys who opposed them were appointed by Obama, exactly the opposite of what you claim, no surprise there!!!

Got nothing about what? The New Black Panthers? There was nothing criminal about what they did. And when confronted by police..they left. End of story.

This thread is essentially about the absurdity of someone like Darrell Issa, a man with a very real criminal past, investigating corruption.

But somehow it's been derailed about the ridiculous kookery about the Black Panther Party.

It's amazing how detailed you guys get about this stuff yet dismiss almost without question, Issa's shady past.

They were "confronted" by police BECAUSE they were breaking the law. It is against the Voters Rights Act of 1965 to intimidate voters. Standing in front of a polling place wearing para-military garb, brandishing a nightstick and spouting racially charged speeches at people going in and out of the polling place is a clear violation of that law. The idiot with the nightstick left because if he hadn't he would have been arrested.

What's "amazing" is how people like you and Ed won't admit that the Holder DOJ let their political agenda trump the law in this case.

Sorry, but GOP racists spouting lies about what didn't happen does not make what actually happened violate any laws. The considerate gentleman with the legal nightstick left of his own free will so as not to give the GOP racist thugs an excuse to disrupt the voters in a black districe in a key electoral state. Unlike GOP shills FOX who stayed specifically to disrupt the vote in a black district even after they were asked to leave by poll workers and the police!

"Considerate gentleman"? You're REALLY going to try and pretend that King Shabazz is a considerate gentleman? King Shabazz is neither considerate nor a gentleman. He's a self avowed racist. He hates white people and calls for them and their babies to be killed. Take note of his little dress up buddy from the polling place handing out leaflets as Mr. Shabazz rants about killing white babies. The same guy that denies even knowing King Shabazz when asked about him by a news reporter.

What's sad is that you're SO committed to Barack Obama that you're even willing to portray a person like King Shabazz as a "considerate gentleman" if you think that will deflect blame away from the Department of Justice under Eric Holder and Barack Obama.

As bad as Shabazz is, the racist goon from FOX is even worse. At least Shabazz was considerate enough to put the voting rights of others ahead of everything else and he left rather than cause problems for other voters. The worthless scumbag from FOX put perverting the election system, and undermining the foundations of this great country ahead of everything. So the CON$ervbative scum from FOX is probably the only person who can make Shabazz look like a considerate gentleman. The CON$ervative scum at FOX can really be proud of themselves.

It was the racist GOP thug Hill who caused the problems that opened the door for FOX to disrupt the vote at a BLACK district to try to help the GOP steal the electoral votes in a key state. If suppressing votes in a black district is not an act of racism to you then nothing is. Shabazz could not have been locked up any more than FOX. He had as much right to be 10 feet away from the entrance as the FOX goon. He took the high road and left of his own free will to take away any excuse for the FOX goons to continue to disrupt the vote at that black district. FOX showed its true colors by continuing to do everything they could to suppress the vote for their GOP masters even after Shabazz and his perfectly legal in Pennsylvania baton were long gone.

Shabazz took the high road? Do you really believe the horseshit you're shoveling, Ed? King Shabazz is as much a racist as any Grand Dragon of the KKK. He's an ignorant, insecure little man who thinks dressing up in jack boots and a beret make him a bad ass. He couldn't find the high road if you drew him a friggin' map!

So did you have an example of racism by the FOX reporter? You've made that accusation...why can't you back it up with an example that proves you aren't talking out of your ass? According to you, Ed...EVERYONE is a racist except for King Shabazz...even though nobody else says or does anything that's even slightly racist while your idiot with a nightstick spouts racist diatribes every chance he gets.

You know what's really sad about this, Ed? You've got your head so far up Barack Obama's ass that you don't even realize how much of a fool you make of yourself trying to paint King Shabazz as a good guy. You defending him is the same as a conservative defending a racist skin head. Here's a word to the wise (or in your case the not so wise) when you find yourself HAVING to defend the King Shabazz's of the world because of your political views...it might be time to reconsider those political views.

The fact that the man who was behind the Marc Rich pardon is now our Attorney General disgusts me.

You are here defending the racist attempt by the GOP and FOX to suppress the black vote in a key electoral state to steal an election away from a black man and give it to a white man and you pretend you are not a racist!!

And you and your fellow racists have been trying to put your racist words into the panther's mouths because you do not have any proof of them saying anything like that at the polling place. Just because they might have spouted hyperbole, as CON$ do habitually, at another time and place does not give you the right to put your racist words in their mouths at the polling place. Minorities have just as much of a free speech right to use hyperbole as racist CON$ do, being a white racist does not make your free speech rights any different than those you feel superior to!

 

[Oldstyle]

You really are a moron, Ed.

Minorities don't have anymore "right of free speech" at a polling place than Majorities do. Neither has the right to intimidate voters or poll workers. Both are protected by the Voting Rights Act.

You've got two men dressed in paramilitary garb, brandishing a nightstick and shouting racially charged language at the doorway to a polling place. This isn't a freedom of speech issue it's a violation of the Voting Rights Act issue.

Once again, Ed...you accuse me of being a racist. Once again you don't provide a singe example of anything that I've said that could be construed as racist. I'm curious...do you somehow think that accusing me "repeatedly" without providing proof, somehow makes what you're saying more believable?

So far you've accused me, the FOX reporter, Mr. Hill, Mr. Bull, and the University of Penn. student with the camera phone of being racists but you've failed to give a single example of a racist remark or action by any of us. At the same time you've defended King Shabazz who is quite proud to be a racist saying that words have been put in his mouth. To be honest with you, Ed? I think you're full of hot air on this entire topic. You know that Shabazz called people "Cracker" that day. You know that he tried to intimidate people with his silly outfit and nightstick. You've tried to come up with excuses for the inexcusable. It isn't working. You've just shown yourself to be someone who's ideological "blinders" allow you to only see what you want to see while ignoring everything else.

 

[Oldstyle]

Which brings us right back to Eric Holder...

Mr. Holder says he only knew about Fast & Furious about two weeks before he testified in front of Congress. DOJ e-mails show that he was lying when he made that statement. Or was some "racist" putting words in Holder's mouth as well?

I think you're full of hot air on this entire topic. You know that Shabazz called people "Cracker" that day. You know that he tried to intimidate people with his silly outfit and nightstick. You've tried to come up with excuses for the inexcusable. It isn't working. You've just shown yourself to be someone who's ideological "blinders" allow you to only see what you want to see while ignoring everything else.

As long as you parrot the lies of your fellow racists you will be a racist. The complaint was thrown out for the very reason that there was absolutely no proof that even a single voter was intimidated or the racist words the whites said were ever said by the panthers. The ONLY people using the word "cracker" that day on video or audio were the white racists!!!!!

Here is another video with FOX lying about what happened. The FOX guy claims Leventhal got into a "scuffle" with a "black panther." The "black panther" was a WHITE poll worker who was trying to get the FOX thug to stop harassing the voters who were trying to enter the building to vote. Of course, the racist FOX goon was there to suppress the black vote, so he refused to back away from the doorway even a little bit!!!

You really are a moron, Ed.

Minorities don't have anymore "right of free speech" at a polling place than Majorities do. Neither has the right to intimidate voters or poll workers. Both are protected by the Voting Rights Act.

You've got two men dressed in paramilitary garb, brandishing a nightstick and shouting racially charged language at the doorway to a polling place. This isn't a freedom of speech issue it's a violation of the Voting Rights Act issue.

Once again, Ed...you accuse me of being a racist. Once again you don't provide a singe example of anything that I've said that could be construed as racist. I'm curious...do you somehow think that accusing me "repeatedly" without providing proof, somehow makes what you're saying more believable?

The complaint was thrown out because the Eric Holder Department of Justice has two different standards when it comes to the enforcement of voter intimidation laws...one for minorities that are deprived of their rights and another when minorities deprive others of their rights. If Barack Obama wanted to show America that he was EVERYONE'S President then he would have let this case proceed. But as with most of his decisions...this one was based on ideology rather than on what was the right thing to do.

As for your little video clip? Why is it that these poll workers didn't ask King Shabazz and Jerry Jackson to stop what they were doing outside the polling station when they were flagrantly breaking the law yet told FOX news that they had to leave when FOX had the legal right to be there? It's quite obvious that the idiot with the snappy haircut either hasn't got a clue as to the laws that apply to a polling station or has decided that he's only going to apply those laws to certain people. Kind of begs the question why he had the job in the first place since he was so ill equipped to carry it out.

And you still can't provide a single example of something racist that anyone said other than King Shabazz, Ed...yet you keep right on making the accusation.

By the way...what you call a "lie" is simply a news anchor back in the studio not knowing what was occurring at a remote feed. It's quite obvious that the anchor is learning about what was happening down at the polling station and is confused about who is who and what has happened. He initially seems to think that the ratty looking white dude is one of the Panthers. The FOX reporter on the scene fills him in as the story continues to break. If that's your example of "lies", Ed...it's pretty darned pathetic.
