On a related subject.

Judicial Watch uncovered hundreds of documents from the City of Dayton, Ohio, showing that Department of Justice (DOJ) officials pressured the Dayton Police and Fire Departments to lower testing standards because not enough African-American candidates passed the written exam. On May 25, Judicial Watch also filed a lawsuit against the DOJ to obtain additional records related to the Dayton program after the DOJ failed to respond to a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 11-971)).

And another!

Quote:
The National Labor Relations Board continues to prove that the NLRB was established for Big Labor and Big Business while leaving employees out of the process. In complete arrogance, the NLRB has told South Carolina employees and their families that NLRB’s General Counsel Lafe Solomon’s plan to shut down Boeing’s South Carolina factory and eliminate jobs is none of their business.
As the National Right To Work Legal Defense Foundation press release put it: “Obama NLRB to South Carolina Boeing Employees: ‘You Have No Stake in Your Jobs’”
Furthermore, the NLRB ruled that it was no one else’s business because it has chosen not to allow any amicus curiae briefs to be filed.
The Machinists union also scornfully rejected the employees’ concerns. Both Solomon and the Machinists argued that the case that Solomon has brought against Boeing is “. . . already complicated” and listening to employees’ concerns would only “ . . .complicate an already complicated proceeding.”
While the NLRB hides shamelessly behind the complications of the case, it fails to take responsibility for creating this unprecedented contorted legal argument that produced the complications that it claims prevents employees from having a say about their futures. This Big Labor powerplay that tramples on the livelihoods of South Carolina workers provides yet another reason for the Senate to reject Obama’s currently stalled appointment of Solomon and for voters to reject Obama in 2012.

Here is a short list:

The Obama SEC filed a civil action against Goldman Sachs in 2010 and the Obama DoJ is pursuing criminal charges.

What more can it do?

And then hired the same scumbags that were involved? Oh, I guess there is nothing more they could have done than give them all jobs. :rolleyes:

So the SEC and DoJ investigations are not enough?

I get it.

The DOJ has prove itself to be a failed and biased organization. The can't be trusted to carry out Obama's trash. Fact is Obama hired these scumbags into his administration after they got public money. I guess you think that it is ok to do that, I understand your love and devotion to the King.

Oh. I forget that you think Holder is a racist.

Holder is a racist.

The DOJ abandoned its own lawsuit against members of the radical New Black Panther Party who threatened and intimidated white voters on Election Day 2008. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence that white voters were intimidated. Even though a whistle-blower gave clear and convincing evidence in front of a Congressional hearing. Obama ignored it. Holder ignored it. But Obama could bring it upon himself to hold a "Beer Summit" when some idiot professor felt he was above the law. Yea, Holder is a GD racist.

In fact, there was no evidence, other than one guy waiving a night stick, who was led away by police, Which, btw, was conveniently left out of the video that was the basis of the allegations raised by a Republican poll watcher.

There was not one voter who filed a charge of voter intimidation and yet Holder still filed a civil action against the guy that banned him from being at polling places for two years.

Bull shit. The video spoke for itself. SO the DOJ, until Holder and Obama came on scene just wasted all those months building a case? More Demoncratic propaganda. Now you and that racist Holder want to spin it. Laughable.

I know it is pointless to try to discuss this with someone who plays the "racist" card, but exactly what in this video meets the criteria of voter intimidation under the Voting Rights Act?



added:
The charges against the New Black Panthers were downgraded by the Bush Department of Justice:

The decision not to file a criminal case occurred before Obama was even in office.

This means that the case was downgraded to a civil case 11 days before Obama was inaugurated, 26 days before Eric Holder became attorney general, and about nine months before Thomas Perez was confirmed as head of the Civil Rights Division.

The Department of Justice announced today that it has entered into a consent decree with the city of Dayton that, if approved by the court, will resolve the Department’s complaint that Dayton has been engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination against African-Americans in its hiring of entry-level police officers and firefighters, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)...

...The United States’ complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in September 2008, alleges that Dayton’s use of an internally created written examination for screening entry-level police officer applicants, and its use of heightened minimum qualifications for entry-level firefighter applicants, i.e. requiring that applicants have EMT-Basic and Firefighter I and II certifications at the time they apply, resulted in disparate impact on African-Americans. The complaint also alleges that neither practice has been demonstrated by the city of Dayton to be job related and consistent with business necessity, in accordance with the requirements of Title VII.

Does this make Holder a racist as well?

Holder is a God Damm Racist.

We certainly dont want the facts to cloud your judgement.

That would really make you look foolish. :eek:

It's almost never fair game to call racism.
