PJM Exclusive: Unequal Law Enforcement Reigns at Obama’s DOJ (UPDATED: Adams Discusses this Article on Fox News)
Soon after his confirmation, Attorney General Eric Holder labeled us a nation of cowards, a people supposedly unwilling or afraid to discuss race. Based on my experience as an attorney at the Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department, Holder has far more to fear from that discussion than do the rest of us.
If we had that frank, truthful discussion about race, we’d learn that the Obama administration doesn’t believe some civil rights laws protect every American. The Bush Civil Rights Division was willing to protect all Americans from racial discrimination; during the Obama years, the Holder years, only some Americans will be protected. Americans have a right to know and judge the racial policies of the administration they elected in 2008.
The dismissal of the voter intimidation lawsuit against armed New Black Panthers in Philadelphia is the most prominent example of this hostility toward race-neutral enforcement of civil rights laws. But that dismissal is far from the only manifestation of the beliefs infesting the Department. Many other cases and decisions — some of which I will detail below — are in question and deserve scrutiny.
On Election Day 2008, armed men wearing the uniforms and jackboots of the New Black Panther Party were posted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the entrance to a polling site. They brandished a weapon and intimidated voters. After the election, the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice brought a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party and these armed thugs. I, and other Justice lawyers, obtained an entry of default after the defendants ignored the case against them.
Before a final judgment could be entered, however, our superiors ordered dismissal of the claims.
Congress has sought answers from the Department about why the Black Panther case was dismissed. The Department has repeatedly claimed the “facts and law” did not support the case — which of course is false. Others have speculated about a White House involvement. But I believe the best explanation for the corrupt dismissal of the case is the profound hostility by the Obama Civil Rights Division in the Justice Department towards a race-neutral enforcement of civil rights laws.
This hostility was — and is — on open display within the Department of Justice.
Example after example exists where this dirty little secret manifested itself within the Department and affected Department policy.
Attorney General Holder and his political appointees have traveled the country claiming that they have “reopened” the Civil Rights Division. The Civil Rights Division is “back in business,” they announce, without a sniff of media scrutiny. In time, statistics and other information will present truth to this lie, as the Bush Civil Rights Division had a more robust civil rights agenda than the Obama Civil Rights Division. During the Bush years, the Civil Rights Division brought more cases in many areas of the law, particularly voting rights.
Race-neutral enforcement of civil rights law is a principle nearly all Americans agree with. Equality before the law has been cherished since the founding, and a bloody Civil War sacrificed generations of treasure and life to enshrine race equality into constitutional law.
Two obvious examples of the Obama administration’s hostility toward race-neutral enforcement of the civil rights laws:
The Department recently filed a brief supporting the use of race-based preferences at the University of Texas. Holder’s DOJ wants Texas to be able to give extra admissions credit to the skin color of certain college applicants. Of course some races won’t get the benefit of these racial preferences, while the political allies of the administration will.
In New Haven, Connecticut, the Holder Justice Department took the side of those who wanted to racially discriminate against white and Hispanic firefighters seeking promotion. Not surprisingly, the Supreme Court rejected the position of the Civil Rights Division. (It is no accident, incidentally, that senior Department attorney Steven Rosenbaum was involved in the formation of the Department’s racially biased approach in New Haven, just as he was involved in the dismissal of the New Black Panther case when he was acting deputy assistant attorney general, a political position in the Civil Rights Division.)
It wasn’t always this way.
The Bush Justice Department never filed briefs advocating racial discrimination. In fact, the Bush Justice Department was willing to protect all citizens under the civil rights laws, and brought a handful of cases protecting non-traditional racial minorities. Some pejoratively call these cases “reverse discrimination” lawsuits. Of course “reverse” discrimination does not exist: every species of racial discrimination is just that — racial discrimination. Implying a condition precedent, reversing something else, makes “reverse” discrimination at best a subset of some more legitimate wrong. At worst, the term is a historic reminder of whose ox got gored first.
It lessens the evil of the discrimination, an evil the Constitution bans without equivocation.
I worked closely with the former chief of the Voting Section, Christopher Coates, during my time at the Justice Department. He was a voting rights giant. He brought cases to stop racial discrimination as far back as 1976, just a decade after passage of the Voting Rights Act. Coates was a former attorney with the ACLU, and while at Justice, he was instrumental in bringing the case against the New Black Panther Party.
Because he believed in race-neutral enforcement of the civil rights laws, his powers as voting section chief were slowly sucked away by the Holder Justice Department.
Eventually made an intentionally powerless figurehead, Coates was transferred to South Carolina to work in the U.S. Attorney’s Office. His courageous going-away speech to the entire Voting Section and to the deputy assistant attorney general left little doubt about the “change” at Justice:
I have never assumed that I was entitled to ignore that clear language in federal law and therefore ignore incidents where evidence showed white voters were discriminated against or where the wrongdoers were themselves members of a minority group. … I have had many discussions concerning these cases. In one of my discussions concerning the Ike Brown case, I had a lawyer say he was opposed to our filing such suits. When I asked why, he said that only when he could go to Mississippi and find no disparities between the socioeconomic levels of black and white residents, might he support such a suit. But until that day, he did not think that we should be filing voting rights cases against blacks or on behalf of white voters.
I believe that one of the most detrimental ways to politicize the enforcement process in the Voting Section is to enforce the provisions of the Voting Rights Act only for the protection of certain racial or ethnic minorities; or to take the position that the Voting Section is not going to enforce certain provision of any of the voting statutes the Voting Section has the responsibility to enforce. Such decisions carry with them obvious, enormous implications for partisan political struggles.
Coates was not issuing a hypothetical warning for some future dereliction of the Department’s duty. The danger had already arrived.
United States v. Ike Brown
Coates and I learned about the hostility towards equal enforcement of the civil rights laws long before United States v. New Black Panther Party. Coates brought, and we won, the case of United States v. Ike Brown arising out of Mississippi.
Brown was the head of the Democratic Party in Noxubee County, a majority black county. The party ran the Democratic primaries, which served as de facto general elections, and Brown made no secret about his desire to see every government office in the county held by a black officeholder. Brown ran a Tammany Hall-style political operation. During one election, he literally stuffed illegal ballots he knew were marked for black candidates through an optical scanner in front of a crowd of angry citizens shouting provisions of Mississippi law at him.
“You ain’t dealing with Mississippi law, this is Ike Brown’s law,” he replied.
Brown organized teams of notary publics to roam the county collecting absentee ballots. In many cases, the notaries cast the ballots themselves instead of the voters.
Brown took absentee ballots to his home the night before the election, and put yellow sticky notes on them instructing compliant poll workers — whom he chose — why the ballots of white voters should be rejected. The poll workers complied, and canceled their votes.
Brown imported ineligible black candidates from outside the county to run against white incumbents.
He allowed squads of “assistors” to pollute the voting sites and impose “assistance,” telling black voters how to vote inside the booth — in many cases marking the ballots for the voters. During one election, teams of federal observers counted hundreds of verified examples of illegal assistance. Brown lawlessly disqualified white candidates from running for office. He published the names of 174 white citizens in the newspaper, and said they would be subject to challenge if they tried to vote.
Ike Brown institutionalized racial lawlessness, and brazenly victimized white voters during the 2003 and 2007 elections. And yet, many in the Voting Section never wanted the Department even to investigate the matter.
They voiced explicit opposition to Coates about investigating the discrimination. Superiors were reluctant to recommend to political appointees approval of a lawsuit. After the case was filed, the hostility continued. Most attorneys — except one brave woman — refused to work on the matter with Coates. Hostility pervaded the Voting Section, directed at Coates personally and also towards the theory of the case.
I also encountered open skepticism about the Ike Brown case after I was assigned to work on it in 2005. All manner of reasoning was offered to me regarding why the case should not have been brought.
Some said that unless whites were victims of historic discrimination, they shouldn’t be protected. Voting Rights lawyers will recognize this as an argument grounded in Senate Factor One of the Supreme Court’s Gingles v. Thornburg jurisprudence. Other lawyers grounded their objections in Senate Factor Five, which speaks generally of educational and economic differences between races. Because whites were better off than blacks in Mississippi, no lawsuit should be allowed to protect whites, they argued.
Of course, all of these lawyers knew that the settled law was directly contrary to their reliance on the Senate Factors. No Senate Factor can serve as a veto on any case. But they sought mightily to ground their hostility in some sort of legal theory.
There were more sinister explanations for the hostility. During a deposition I did of a black elected official in Noxubee, he agreed that racially discriminatory behavior against whites occurred:
“But you got to understand,” he admitted saying, “now it’s payback time.”
Before the trial, article after article appeared in the New York Times and other newspapers critical of the decision to bring the Ike Brown case. ABC News presented it as a classic man-bites-dog story. Even National Public Radio traveled to Noxubee to do a story suspicious of the Bush administration’s decision to sue Ike Brown. The benefit of hindsight makes the national media effort to demean the case, and the hostility from the civil rights community, look laughable and petty. We won the case, and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the decision in two historic opinions.
Not surprisingly, Ari Shapiro at NPR never did a follow-up story. ABC News fell silent, too.
Election rigging … the good kind
Ike Brown was the worst example, though surely not the only one.
Down along the Big Muddy south of Natchez is Wilkinson County, Mississippi. All sorts of electoral mischief took place there throughout 2007, ultimately resulting in the home of a white candidate for county supervisor being doused with gasoline and burned to the ground. Others who complained about election misconduct were promptly arrested by the sheriff. Even though some of the accused wrongdoers were black, the Bush Civil Rights Division flooded the county with observers and brought calm to the election process.
Over in Alabama, Perry County had the Yellowhammer State’s answer to Ike Brown. This majority black county also had pervasive forced “assistance” occurring at the polls. Of course, the effect of racially motivated stuffing of the ballot box via forced “assistance” is the dilution of the votes of white voters, and the denial of votes of black voters who were improperly assisted. The Bush Justice Department was willing to investigate the claims and monitor elections there. But many within the Department were opposed to closely monitoring this forced assistance.
They reasoned that higher rates of illiteracy in the black community merited assistors entering the polling booth and casting ballots for voters — one after another, hundreds of them. Of course, when the volume of assistance bears no relation to illiteracy rates, reasonable people understand what is going on. Worse, when assistance is imposed, it isn’t assistance; it’s a tool for a partisan cause.
Some in the Department acknowledged that the end result was the likelihood of more black elected officials (at the expense of electing white officials), and on this basis were willing to turn a blind eye to the violations.
Perry wasn’t the only place in Alabama this racially motivated rigging of elections occurred. Hale County was also victimized. The Department’s opponents of race-neutral enforcement of the civil rights laws were particularly obstructionist in Hale. But some courageous lawyers persisted, and sought to ensure federal election observers memorialized all of the racially motivated illegal assistance and vote denial.
It will be interesting to see how much attention the Obama Justice Department devotes to Perry County, Hale County, and Noxubee County given the long history of vote dilution and denial through forced assistance of minority voters. Given the attitudes of some career lawyers expressed during the Bush administration, I suspect very little. Any attention they do give to these places will likely be to assure the wrongdoers that new management has arrived in Washington, that the Civil Rights Division is back in business, indeed.
Most remain rightfully disgusted by America’s long history of slavery and segregation. The idea that the civil rights law would be used against the original beneficiaries extremely agitates them. These employees of the Department oppose race-neutral enforcement of the law on these grounds. While the “original beneficiary” argument against a race-neutral application of the civil rights laws may have emotional appeal, it is legally and ethically bankrupt.
“You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.”
The day after the Black Panthers intimidated voters in Philadelphia, I heard Department of Justice employees speaking in the hallways making light of the intimidation: “No big deal,” one said. “Just a media generated event,” said another, echoing the familiar excuses of the southern segregationists in the 1960s when a New York Times reporter was sniffing about town.
I never dreamed that these amateur and uninformed assessments would evolve into official policy.
Other employees voiced opinions that the case should not be brought against the New Black Panthers. The Panthers did good work in the 1960s, right? Wrong, the New Black Panthers are a different, more dangerous, anti-Semitic separatist group. But it was an isolated incident, right? Wrong, but even if that were true, the behavior was still illegal.
In hindsight, it was not an accident that these early informal arguments echoed the eventual justifications used to dismiss the case, and then ultimately the spin given to the public, leaked to sycophantic amateur blogs such as Main Justice. The liberal echo chamber within the Civil Rights Division was talking about the case, mostly to each other. But attorneys who were working hard to investigate and prove the case weren’t part of the discussion. We were part of the problem. And we didn’t realize how extensive the hostility toward the New Black Panther case had already become.
Contrary to the views of some conservatives, racial discrimination still exists. A black motorist pulled over by the police is likely to have a different experience than a similarly situated white motorist. Without question, some apartment complexes and dining establishments still treat blacks differently from whites. The Department of Justice’s undercover housing testing program demonstrates this fact over and over again.
Some leading conservatives also are wrong when they argue that voting has become post-racial in America, that race no longer is an important factor in electoral outcomes. It is possible to calculate voting behavior and ascertain who black voters chose and who white voters chose in any given election. The statistical methods which allow us to peer into private choices inside the voting booth are beyond the scope of this discussion, but it is without doubt that racially polarized voting still determines election outcomes in America. Race continues to negatively affect traditional minorities, whether during traffic stops or a statewide campaign for office.
Yet after the proliferation of race-based preferences in college admission or hiring, minorities may in fact now enjoy an advantage in some places. This is particularly true in large institutions with aggressive “affirmative action” policies. Abundant data show that Asians, in particular, are victimized in university admissions by a race-based thumb on the scales. Our nation has struggled to find the right balance to remedy past discrimination. In some areas we do better than others, but the correct approach is never simply to leverage the outcome reflexively as much as possible in only one direction.
The massive engine of federal government should not be used to leverage outcomes as far as possible for only national racial minorities, but that is exactly what is happening. Indeed, many of the advocates of limitless leveraging of government power for the benefit of traditional national minorities view this as a backdoor way to achieve reparations for slavery and discrimination. If the American public won’t tolerate monetary reparations, which they won’t, then a one-way approach to civil rights laws is seen as the next best alternative for their unpopular agenda. Best of all, hardly anybody notices.
Because few Americans understand the hyper-technical components of civil rights law, such as disparate impact theory, regression analysis, and redlining cases, this litigation-based substitute for reparations has been largely successful and almost entirely free from broad public scrutiny. To the extent the public is aware of the activities of civil rights litigation, it is packaged to them as part of the noble and seemingly endless effort to escape the nation’s unjust past.
This aggressive one-way approach toward the civil rights laws is central to understanding why the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party was dismissed by the Obama Justice Department. To some, the civil rights laws are not meant to protect all Americans, they are meant to protect certain Americans. Naturally the universal protections that apply to all Americans in the 14th and 15th Amendments are no barrier to one-way enforcement when you control the mechanics of the federal bureaucracy. After all, few will ever know about the civil rights cases this administration refuses to bring. A perk of being in charge is deciding what is the best use of government resources, and what is the best exercise of prosecutorial discretion.
Americans have the right to know, however, whether or not this administration harbors hostility towards a race-neutral enforcement of the civil rights laws. The firsthand experience of many within the Justice Department leaves no doubt about this insidious attitude.
Some activists may claim this is much ado about nothing. This view is shortsighted: it is hard to imagine what would erode support for the civil rights laws more than the idea that many of us aren’t protected. Equal enforcement of the law vests all of us in the mission of equality. Protecting everyone seems a small price to pay for civil rights organizations to preserve the popularity of their agenda. Failing to protect everyone only fuels hostility to their agenda.
Refusing to enforce the law in a race-neutral manner is a curable malaise. The Department of Justice can still redeem itself — it might start by refiling the lawsuit against the dismissed defendants in the New Black Panther Party case. It ought to abandon its advocacy of race-based preferences in future cases. And it should be willing to diligently pursue investigations and cases no matter the race of the victim or the perpetrator, especially in voting rights cases.
If they don’t, Americans have the right to know and judge this administration’s neglect of our civil rights.





With Obama and Holder it’s not about justice, it’s reparations.
Maybe not reparations, but revenge….?
That’s more like it!
It is not only revenge, but also a way to spread Chicago-style corruption to any city and town with a sizeable African-American population.
This DOJ led by Holder not only has made a determination to give a pass to any black accused by any white, but it has also made a decision that it will not hear, nor allow any judge in the U.S. to hear, any charges regarding the eligibility of BO to be in the WH. This DOJ has effectively intimidated every judge and court in the country into refusing to review any evidence (and there is copious amounts) that points to BO being an illegal alien usurper in the WH.
Follow the money -
Announced by the White House on June 22nd , the appointment of Samar Ali , a Muslim attorney who specializes in Shariah-compliant transactions, as a new White House Fellow . She is an associate with the law firm Hogan Lovells – a firm that claims to have advised on more than 200 Islamic finance transactions with an aggregate deal value in excess of $40 billion. As you know White House fellows spend a year as full-time, paid assistants to senior White House staff, the Vice President , Cabinet secretaries and senior administration officials.
Reported in the WSJ yesterday, June 27, in an article entitled,
” New Space Policy Calls for Global Cooperation-
The Obama administration as early as Monday is expected to call for significantly greater international cooperation than ever before in outer space, covering a wide range of civilian and national-security programs.
The new policy, according to industry and government officials familiar with the details, also endorses the pursuit of verifiable arms-control proposals for space. And it envisions stepped-up U.S. government efforts to bolster domestic rocket and satellite manufacturers, making them more economically viable and competitive overseas.
The principles, according to these officials, reflect President Barack Obama’s desire to have Washington and various foreign governments increasingly share funding and expertise on major projects, while negotiating conflicts if possible and exchanging more data about orbiting debris and other hazards in space.
The policy paper’s call for more international cooperation was reported by Space News, an industry publication.
The policy paper doesn’t specifically spell out which countries would be invited to take part, but the intent is to open participation to allies and other established space powers, such as China and Russia, and emerging powers including India and Brazil, according to the officials.
Breaking sharply from earlier White House policies that relied largely on all-U.S. solutions, the latest document foresees international ventures spanning everything from environmental and other types of earth-observation satellites to critical space-based navigation systems that were previously considered off-limits to foreign partnerships. ”
Notice what is going on. The administrations new policy endorses the pursuit of this, and desires to do that, and cooperate with everyone. Open the books on Americas most profound technologies for what? A kumbaya moment?
And that list of countries missing from public scrutiny? Guesses anyone?
In my opinion the appointment of Samar Ali was done in order to facilitate the sale of additional American industrial companies that are vital to our global strength and security, to Saudi Arabia. Just as was done with GE Plastics the stage has been set for squandering our greatest secrets in propulsion, metallurgy, avionics, communications, laser technology, encryption, high resolution photography, etc. The technological edge that America has gained through massive financial investment, decades of research and the cost of hundreds of human lives will now be shared with a world that is hostile to our country. The knowledge gained from Americas space program has made us stronger in every field of human endeavor. For America to give up this edge in a world rife with economic and military challenges make no sense, unless the goal is to weaken America not to strengthen her.
The run-on to off topic portions of this Administration’s policies dilutes the focus of this thread. Though I have strong differences with the Administration’s Space Policy announced yesterday, this is not the right forum for its discussion.
There are good things the Administration wants in Space, and there are bad things. Mostly the bad ones are part of the transnationalist agendas of the dominant portion of the Democratic Party.
The topic of *this* set of comments should be confined to the specific problems the Administration has in Civil Rights enforcement, not a general condemnation of the Administration that may make people feel good, but will do nothing to focus their minds on specific solvable problems that can be adressed by the legislature after January. For instance, there is the problem exposed here that even during the Bush Administration, the contact of many DOJ lawyers with the multicultural class bigotries of academia has set into their world-view a belief in discriminating against any racial sub-group that has a majority of members who are successful participants in our industrial society. This is true whether the groups are whites, asians, or others who cannot be classified as “oppressed”, according to the dictates of multicultural political correctness inside academia.
I smell a hallway monitor.
This article is better than nothing, but it should have included names and photographs of specific black racists in the department. It should also have listed specific racist statements and/or actions, including dates and witnesses. Attacking a department is too nebulous; one has to go after specific people.
A good approach would be to make under-cover tape and/or video recordings of these people, then distribute them widely on the internet. This method proved extremely effective against Acorn.
I agree with Will… The people that got the word to drop things, need to come forward and say something and name names, dates, times..where are they?
I’m not saying you’re not being truthful, as I totally believe you, however…
I watched the Megan Kelly show today..we love her…seems the DOJ is doing it’s best to discredit you and issued some harsh criticism. Too bad..someone needs to call these people out.
I am a Pennsylvanian and have been outraged by this arrogant injustice for months. The deed is done! The films and testimony of the victims, a.k.a., witnesses speak volumes. The case was dismissed by AG Holder’s Justice Department….end of story!
FoxNews, Megyn Kelly, had an expose’ on this blatant bigotry, voter intimidation, verbal threats vs. the subsequent injustice of the AG’s office.
Part #1 on East Coast was observed today @ 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM; Part #2 is due tomorrow.
I agree, Wil. I also wonder why the Obama regime would choose this course of action? It seems incredibly foolish to dismiss the case, knowing there would be a backlash from conservatives. Is the Obama regime so cocksure of their position (and the support from the MSM) that they can conduct themselves in a racist manner?
Is the Obama regime in a position where it can (and will) do ANYTHING it wants to do?
THAT is really scary!
You mean RAPE-a-Nation.
The NBBP and the Democrat Party have overlapping membership, and the Democrats aren’t going to go after their own.
Same as in the days when the Democrats and the KKK had overlapping membership.
Simple as that.
The only way that’s going to change is if the Democrats think they can secure some political advantage by throwing their current partners in the NBBP to the wolves.
I am encouraged by your article and thank you for shedding light on these practices. I would also be very interested in knowing the names of the people who are perpetrating these unlawful practices. Naming names will get their attention, and perhaps even some wider media coverage, though I am not holding my breath.
In fact, this is not much ado about nothing. From the day Holder was first appointed I sense it had been done largely for one reason: because Holder was black. Holder’s first press conference with his speech about a ‘nation of cowards’ showed how unsuitable Holder is for such a post as those ‘cowards’ were certainly white folks and the uneasy feeling set in that this was a man who really felt that black Americans were incapable of ‘real’ racism. Holder’s other comments in that speech showed that he felt that the history of this nation revolved around 12% of it’s population in a manner that blithely set aside the central history of America and setting the tone for Holder’s racist agenda. President Obama himself, with his 20 year stint at the eminently Afro-centric Trinity Church in Chicago and it’s worship of the racist Jim Cone showed where this was all heading early on but those in favor of Obama would not have it. Now, it is all in the open but in the eyes of President Obama’s supporters it will never be out in the open. Not Obama’s remarks about Pennsylvania nor his rush to judgement on the Gates affair nor his wife’s blunder on the campaign trail about her pride in America which she quickly and entirely unsatisfactorily tried to backslide on will change Democrats views on Obmama. Unfortunately, many white Americans also feel that black Americans are incapable of racism and are due a pound of flesh due to the actions of people long dead. While it is pointed out in the article that racism exists still today by white people it is also being practiced by blacks and so the question is, at what point do diminishing returns on the issue of racism simply become a normal human folly, not to be dealt with in a monumental manner nor abscribed only to one side or the other but simply taken for granted to be equal in the human condition. I say it is when institutional racism that is right out in the open has been largely done away with but now, we see examples in this article of institutional racism actually favoring black Americans and to be right out in the open. I myself was uncertain about this racial aspect of Obama when he took office. I figured, let’s see what happens and give the guy a chance. Now, it is obvious to me that not only does Obama have no use for whites, but that this quality will be the single biggest drain on his legacy in the years and decades to come as it’s increasing obviousness is brought to the fore. Obama ran on an idea of unity but in this he is an utter failure, racializing the office of the President of the United States by his appointments and actions. I always figured that when Obama talked about ‘change’ that there was something ominously unsettling about it and that it in some way meant payback for the sins of white America but didn’t truly wish to believe it. I was wrong and this President has turned out to be an utter disgrace.
James May has done well in reminding us of James Cone and the ideology of “black liberation theology.” I’m not sure that all readers here know exactly how sinister this alliance has been, so I am giving the link to my essay arguing that both Ralph Bunche and Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacies have been entirely subverted in this administration. http://clarespark.com/2009/10/31/the-offing-of-martin-luther-king-jr-and-ralph-bunche/. I had not researched the details of black liberation theology until the Obama campaign, and it was even worse than I had imagined. As a participant in the civil rights movement as it existed in the 1960s, I can assure you that this ideology simply erases the entire life work of both Bunche and King. It was of course supported by the hard left, adding fuel to the suspicion that our President is up to no good.
I just reread an essay I wrote at the height of Pacifica Radio infighting, and it is applicable to the racial politics of the current administration, particularly the President’s belief in the importance of communicating with our antagonists (e.g. Iran): http://clarespark.com/2009/08/18/storming-pacifica-revising-my-view-of-pacifica-history-july-22-1999/.
Be careful what you wish for, Sparky.
And we have our own hall monitors at PJM, too. One of the bloggers who I used to much respect has fallen to censoring a commenter because someone “complained”. The commenter was asked to leave the room and not comment again. Disgraceful. And this commenter won’t be back to that echo chamber. I left there once under another name and I am leaving again. This time for good.
The forces of PC will destroy this Republic. Really, they already have. Just remember, payback can be a beotch.
The MSM will of course ignore this revelation. However anyone who has eyes can see exactly what the so-called “justice department” is up to. This is a department that has no interest in justice. Just as Obama has no particular interest in governing as president. It has an AGENDA. That agenda is about Change but has nothing to do with change a real American can believe in. It is about driving us to the marxist socialist utopia that these nit wits believe in. Even after fighting the Communists and terrorists and all the sacrifice over the past 70 years in American blood can anyone believe we are fighting this battle all over again. Obama and his cronies are siding with every rogue communist country in the world like venezuala, bolivia, ecuador, russia, and china and turning their backs on every free democratic and traditional ally like the UK, Poland, eastern european former soviet satellites and most notably Israel. This administration is the most radical in US history and has received a pass from the MSM. Let me assure you that your civil rights are not a first priority even as Holder and Obama give priority to the rights of terrorists, radicals, criminals and illegal aliens. The first and second amendment be dammed. Talk radio and the internet are next. America has one chance to turn back these radicals this November. These zombies will keep on coming if we don’t put a stake in their heart!! The time is now and I kid you not!!
Bless you so much for coming forward with this.. May the list of those who do similarly and soon in the Future be very.. very.. long.

Thank you for an excellent essay.
This administration will set racial relations – especially between whites and blacks, but also with hispanics – back significantly. I used to say a generation, or maybe two, but the more I see of “New Reconstruction” in which the Obama administration and some courts are engage, the more I think that racial attitudes may well coalesce more closely along the lines we say in the Post-Reconstruction South once this is rejected. It will be different: you won’t see lynchings or Jim Crow again, but you may well see an open sense that at least Black Democrats have demonstrated a level of incompetence, corruption, and degradation, and the huge Black underclass has demonstrated such a level of depravity, immorality, corruption and degradation, that make the Freedmen/Carpetbag/Scalawag governments in the Reconstruction South look like models of probity.
Consider Detroit: the fruits of 75 years of liberal and almost 40 years of black rule is total collapse of the city and society.
It pains me to write these things – I had very much hoped in the ’60s and ’70s we could move beyond the stereotypes of race that had deviled us. But, the older I get, the more I wonder if my very Unreconstructed Southern grandmother, who lived through Reconstruction as a small child and told hair-raising stories from personal experience, was right about the ultimate incompatibility of blacks and whites. Terrible to even contemplate.
Being a dedicated Southron, I would love to hear more from you concerning your grandmother and her stories of Reconstruction.
The reason behind these failures is that there are several hundred, if not thousands, of people on both sides of the divide whose livelihoods depend significantly on racial incompatibilities in this country. They have a vested interest in maintaining, or actually aggravating, inter-ethnic hostilities. If we ever really did learn to work together, a hell of a lot of @$$holes in the U.S. would be out of a job.
Too true. I recently wrote a polite letter to a local NAACP representative who works in the college town where I live. Her response was unnecessarily aggressive/combative while her grammar and writing skills revealed her to be barely literate.
Looks like the Obama thugs finally get to replace “Yes We Can” with what they’ve always wanted: “Racism…Under New Management.”
“When govt. doesn’t obey the Constitution, what’s treason?”
Since BO took office, he has used his debate over the constitution, as he debated before. To change the meaning of words and phrases for a spin to make an issues outcome, benfit one side or the other, now his. But look up the ‘N’ word. Do you see Race? Do you hear it used in Music, on the street corner, or whenever the African American wants to use it?
ACLU? Where can this organization, provide a service, for Illeagle’s?
Thank You Mr. Adams, for bringing your experience to pen and paper, and permenant archieve into the www. Your education could definatly confirm, BO has violated his oath of office, without needing a definition of what is, is.
yeah but, the people that would be guilty of treason.. are the same people.. that would prosecute for treason..??? So, do we call in the KKK, the church, Russia..who?
We need to get these people out of “any” position with any power and pray that we can still save our republic.. I do believe there will be voter fraud ..
“Payback time” may come sooner than some of those currently in power believe.
Thank you so much for publishing this important (yet deeply disturbing) piece. I sincerely hope that you will continue to not only expose this outrageous racially selective enforcement of the law, but also to identify the specific individuals (both political appointees and career civil servants) who are behind it. We are all grateful to you for your courage in coming forward.
Amazing!! Thank you for your courage in writing this. And please continue to expose this type of mischief.
Good article, for the most part. This passage, though:
“The statistical methods which allow us to peer into private choices inside the voting booth are beyond the scope of this discussion, but it is without doubt that racially polarized voting still determines election outcomes in America.”
So what?
This is the excuse given for crap like the one-man-six-votes trick they’re trying to use to get “Hispanics” elected in a city where the majority of VOTERS aren’t “Hispanic”.
I have no issue with punishing the abuse of power, and am especially in favor of it when the abuse is based on nothing but race. But the preferences of a voter is another issue, one that should be beyond the consideration of government lawyers.
Those first few video clips of Obama’s Reverend Wright gave away the game to anyone paying attention, but willful blindness ruled the day. Now our society gets to pay the steep price for that mindlessness.
One thing that’s constantly left out is whats the racial make up of the D.O.J.’s Civil Rights Division I understand it could be as high as 80% Black and if that’s true that’s a problem. I mean wheres the diversity there!
Having spent many years in a university setting where “diversity” is celebrated as the ultimate good, I can tell you that when whites say “diversity”, they mean “including everyone”, and when African-Americans say “diversity”, they mean more African-Americans. Sorry if anyone thinks that’s a racist statement, but it was demonstrated to me over and over.
Holder and his ilk are the very blacks responsible for the great rise in the number of decent black American’s turning to the republican and conservative movement in America. The entire DOJ is a pit of evil, ‘persecution’ and crime. All decent bureaucratic lawyers should quit; but, bureaucrats seldom quit a perfectly good pay-check. They will continue to serve, knowing well,
the evil that prevails against certain citizens. The U.S. Gulag or Prison
Industrial Complex only grows in evil.
I think this humorous cartoon with President Obama titled “The Race Bus” at http://drawfortruth.wordpress.com/2010/04/27/the-race-bus/ shows how this administration isn’t interested in treating all Americans the same.
I have an idea. How about we try to get a Constitutional amendment passed that guaratnees Civil Rights to every citizen no matter what the color of their skin is? (…or did we already do that? it’s so confusin…)
But here’s another idea. How about those asking those in elected office (like…mmm…Congress) hold people the people they appointed to the provisions of the oath they took to uphold the Constitution? (…oh, that’s right…they don’t want to…)
We already did that. Unfortunately, that isn’t the only part of the Constitution that this adminstration feels no need to follow.
Yeah, I know…….should have indicated my sarc//!!!:) I’m so mad I could spit nails.
I understand the good intentions of this brave person (seriously) who is going public with his comments, but something in me still wants to yell, very loudly, “AND DO YOU THINK IT TOOK YOU TO COME OUT AND TELL US THIS BEFORE WE KNEW IT?????????? WE (THE GREAT UNWASHED CITIZENS) HAVE KNOWN THIS ABOUT THIS DOJ SINCE THE WEEK HOLDER WAS INSTALLED.”
I have about HAD IT with “our bettors” (apparently) assuming that nothing is so until they have said it. I guess that would explain why nothing we say carries any weight nor is acknowledged. iow, “If they didn’t say it, it ain’t so.”
Well done, citizen. Shout louder and longer and in more public places.
It will get a lot worse before it gets better — if it ever does.
Show no partiality to the poor, but do justice to all.
Anybody has the right to make an argument if they can, but when the attempt is made to make justice into an abstract you know you are dealing with something EVIL. That would be my impression.
To paraphrase LBJ, I think Eric Holder is going to wish Mr. Adams was still in the tent pissing out rather than outside the tent pissing in.
It may be time to admit that the US is no longer a nation of laws. It is now a nation in which racism is not condemned, it is celebrated. It is now a nation in which how you are treated by govt depends solely on your race and your political views.
The only question remaining is this. Can the nation be saved, or is dissolution the only viable option left?
MarktheGreat,
Your question no doubt is born from the despair any rational being would feel right now. If your knowledge of history is what was presented to you via a public education you may not be aware but we have been through this a time or two. We not only will survive we will be 3 fold better off.
I see this time as a cultural war between progressive (wealth re distributors) against a significant voting block of newly awakened (guilty of apathy) citizens that will change the course of history.
The attorney made the claim that as long as blacks were poorer on average than whites, blacks should be allowed to break the law fails on two major points.
1) For the most part, those blacks who are poor today, are poor because of decisions that they made.
2) Most of the blacks who are benefiting from these crimes, are richer than the whites they are victimizing.
Mark, you forgot the most important reason;
3. The overwhelming majority of crimes (violent, property, etc.) committed by black perpetrators (about 80%+) are committed against victims who are also black. And most of the victims fall into the lower end of the income spectrum.
Rather than being a “leveling of the playing field”, crimes committed by African-American criminals are largely a destructive influence… on the African-American community.

I read a study a few years ago that showed that the reason why groceries and other goods for sale in black areas of town were more expensive than they were in white areas of town could be completely accounted for by the increased costs associated with crime and protecting the store against crime.
Of course the race mongers will cry to the high heavens that racism is the only acceptable answer, and will pass laws requiring prices to be the same in both areas of town. With the end result being all businesses in black areas fail as they can’t earn enough to make ends meet. As a result of that “well intentioned” law, black areas become even more impoverished, causing the race mongers to get even more hysterical about the evils of racism.
Unfortunately, most of the people in the impoverished, primarily black areas, are more than willing to believe that racism is the cause of all their problems.
And the public outcry can be heard for miles, when the grocers move out of the blighted areas, because they can’t sustain a business.
In order to “level the playing field” a certain number of casualties of ‘unequal’ but retaliatory justice must be sacrificed on the alter of “social justice” and the sooner the more political capital can be deposited in the bank account(s) of those who drop the axe. And the more enthusiastic the recipients of the blood letting will be.
In the words of J.Cesar: “Let the Games, begin.”
Back in the days of Jim Crow, we used to say that it wasn’t just the politicians who were the problem, it was the people who openly backed the politicians who were the problem, and to a lesser degree, those who looked the other way who were the problem.
That is still true today. Those who openly back racism in politics and in our civil/economic life are doing a great amount of damage to real people. Those people will not sit back and take it forever. There will come a day of reckoning, the more damage the racists do in the mean time, the greater the anger will be when that day comes. I fear for the future of this country when that day comes.
The invisible hand of racism slaps all faces. Most importantly, for those who believe we are made in His image, it slaps the face of God. For those who don’t believe, it slaps the face of our living, breathing, Constitution as well.
When the perpetrator is an individual,his specific victim(s) suffers. When the perpetrator is institutional, we all suffer.
It truly matters not one whit how much melanin is contained in a targeted victim’s skin, but there are matters of degree or mens rea that give an offense its level of severity.
Institutionalized leftism uses the sordid history of slavery as sword and a shield upon which to mount a relentless battle against free market democracies. Ironically, the more open, tolerant, dissent protective the society, the more vicious the attack. (notably, America, Israel, Britain and Canada have suffered the deepest cuts in their moral fabric by groups designed specifically for the purpose of using their own “rule book” of “dissent” and “reparation” engagement)
Since the entrenched media is an armed and lockstep marching column of institutionalized leftism, the “coverage” of the issues surrounding this attack are routinely propagandized, shrouded, cloaked, distorted and outright slandered if need be.
The axis combination of leftism and “victimology”, combined with a stranglehold on “pop culture news” organizations, provides perpetual fodder for the grist mill of anti-American, anti-Israeli agitprop.
Because this administration is neck deep in historical ties to the forces of rage against America and Israel (See: William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Rashid Khalidi, Van Jones, Frank Marshall Davis, etc), it stands to reason that prosecutorial sympathies would lie with those same bedfellows.
The kneejerk reaction to the Gates affair is not only symbolic, but also symptomatic of the disease that now afflicts this land of ours. Two wrongs make it right. The “original sin” of slavery, grants and confers permanent absolution upon those who are granted admission into the pearly gates of institionalized leftism’s “victim wing”.
If your ancestors come from the wrong side of the tectonic plate shift tracks, you are denied entry…and, ergo…protection.
Ultimately, “truth” is whatever the entrenched media decide it is. “Palestinians” who lob bombs at children are “victims”, Israeli’s with paintball guns are evil warmongers.
We are under attack from within. Institutionalized leftism is a formidable opponent. The marching columns of “pop culture” guns in the news game, entertainment and higher education have infiltrated our “fact oxygen”, cutting off communications and our air supply of truth and facts.
They are more aligned with brutal dictators than with our free market democracy. And worse, they have no infiltrated our top echelons of justice, legislation, polling booths and voting rights, border security and national defense.
And, we are cowards, if we are unwilling to confront that attack head on.
Puh-leazze….
And there’s also this and that.
Are you claiming that these things don’t happen, or that even if they do, it’s ok?
As to your cites. Snicker.
To MarkTheGreat: I suggest you look up the word “context,” and are you in turn claiming that cites involving non-nutcase info is not welcome on right wing websites? Really? I would never have guessed….
The only context here is your continued use of inaccurate and propaganda sources for the data that you cite.
Primarily he’s claiming “Hey look, over there!”
In somewhat more detail, he’s using as a reference an article that consistently identifies “conservative career attorneys” and opposed to “career attorneys” and ignores the fact that the case had already been won in Philadelphia when it was dismissed.
To Charlie Martin: Primarily he’s claiming “Hey look, over there!”
Is that what I’m claiming by linking to an article about the author that puts his story in better context? And the other two links were for the benefit of some of the very confused commentators here who seem to think Obama is up to no good and who leap on any bit of not-quite-evidence to support that idiotic belief, all the while completely ignoring vastly more substantial evidence showing Bush having done far, far worse things than even the worst accusations against Obama.
And these days you kind of have to point out when someone is a “conservative blah blah blah” since conservatives have been skewing so far rightward that they are emulating a Jihad mentality where RINOS are infidels and “the truth” is anything that helps your side in an ideological battle.
Like most liberals, BC defines propaganda as context.
To him, the article must be more accurate, because he likes it better, and to a liberal, self defines reality.
You’re linking to an article that makes its argument — speaking loosely — by a bunch of ad hominems and vague allusions and unsupported assertions. Such argument as there is there is to assert that Adams was associated with Republicans, while the Democrat political appointees are upstanding “career” lawyers.
BC, Despite your attempt to prove context as a mitigating factor in the obvious conspiracy to deny equal rights for folks whose skin color differs from your own there can only be one conclusion drawn- a total lack of empathy for folks different from yourself. Poor parenting? Lack of education? I could only guess.
Dollar to a donut that BC is a good standing member of Journolists. He should cash in Breitbart’s offer.
“There are three fact witnesses who will testify at the hearing scheduled for February 12, 2010: Mike Mauro, Chris Hill, and Bartle Bull. Each of these individuals was a poll watcher affiliated with either the Republican Party or the McCain campaign.”
Yeah, that’s true. The Republicans employ veteran civil rights attorneys, like Bartle Bull as poll watchers.
The Jim Crow/KKK/NBP Party (aka the Democrats, aka The scum of the earth), OTOH, employ racist, armed NBPP members, like Jerry Jackson as poll watchers.
What else is new?
The Democrats have used threats, intimidation, violence and murder to control elections for generations. Why should anything have changed?
‘The three black panthers, Minister King Samir Shabazz, Malik Zulu Shabazz and Jerry Jackson were charged in a civil complaint in the final days of the Bush administration with violating the voter rights act by using coercion, threats and intimidation. Shabazz allegedly held a nightstick or baton that prosecutors said he pointed at people and menacingly tapped it. Prosecutors also say he “supports racially motivated violence against non-blacks and Jews.”’
‘The Obama administration won the case last month [correction: they LOST the case, Obama is a racist Democrat, as is Jerry Jackson...they're on the same team--DS], but moved to dismiss the charges on May 15.’
‘The complaint says the men hurled racial slurs at both blacks and whites.’
‘A poll watcher who provided an affidavit to prosecutors in the case noted that Bartle Bull, who worked as a civil rights lawyer in the south in the 1960’s and is a former campaign manager for Robert Kennedy, said it was the most blatant form of voter intimidation he had ever seen.’
‘In his affidavit, obtained by FOX News, Bull wrote “I watched the two uniformed men confront voters and attempt to intimidate voters. They were positioned in a location that forced every voter to pass in close proximity to them. The weapon was openly displayed and brandished in plain sight of voters.”’
‘He also said they tried to “interfere with the work of other poll observers … whom the uniformed men apparently believed did not share their preferences politically,” noting that one of the panthers turned toward the white poll observers and said “you are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.”]’–Fox News
It’s the same as it ever was. The Democrats are NO DIFFERENT than they were when they were using the same tactics to control elections in the Jim Crow south.
“…vastly more substantial evidence showing Bush having done far, far worse things than even the worst accusations against Obama.”–some mindless leftoid drone
Meanwhile…the Goebbels-like lies flow fast and furious from the whitebread adherents of the DemoKKKrat Party. There isn’t ANYTHING they won’t say if they think they’ll be paid off with a bigger welfare check from their mommy (the great Obami, the new font of all government handouts), no matter how absurd it is.
Despite your attempt to minimize the egregious actions of the USDOJ with the old ” everybody does it ” defense the videos speak volumes.
I prefer to believe my eyes, not your excuses.
Oh Really, and Obama’s admin really straightened BP out! Yeah, they really socked it to em! You lib/prog/socialist/marxist loving folks won’t be happy until you are cowering under the corrupt leader they help elect. Thanks
Another appropriate cartoon titled “Good vs. Evil” that relates to this topic at http://drawfortruth.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/good-v-evil/
Mao knew that bullets are color-blind.
Book contract, book contract, book contract! I hope you get a nice offer once the court case is over, Mr. Adams. You deserve a nice advance. And we deserve to read your story. God bless you for your principled stand.
I want to know why the Americans, like Greta Berlin, on board the flotilla have not been arrested for aiding terrorists- they raised money for HAMAS and made acts of war on Israel.
Oh nevermind- that would mean Holder would have to arrest OBAMA for giving billions to Hamas and Fatah—treason by any other name is “justice” in newspeak doublethink world we live now
“Refusing to enforce the law in a race-neutral manner is a curable malaise.”
Yes it is but not while this crowd is in office.
Christian:
There’s a knock at your door. Some officers from the National Civilian Police Force, just want to ask you some questions about your article critical of Obama.
Oh, by-the-way, that guy down the street hasn’t been seen since they payed HIM a visit…
So, since when has the DOJ Agenda not been political? before Hoover? Kennedy? Nixon? FDR? Lincoln?
Dont get me wrong, ever since Marc Rich thingy.., I am not a big fan of Eric Holder, though I did have some respect for his “cowards” speech. Americans need to discuss race relations more, specially in the schools in order to ensure that we do not ever return to the bad old days. On the other hand, he needs to call a few of his dogs back in the house and just worry about the lawn being mowed. He needs reminding that their are bigger fish to fry right now, rather than the MLK 1965 stuff. Put the toys away Eric !! Good article, thanks.
If you think American’s haven’t been discussing race, then you have been comatose for the last 50 years.
The problem is that we haven’t been willing to accept the solutions that liberals want, and that is at it’s core, the main complaint.
I can’t believe it. You censored the Velvet Revolution comment? I’ve had similar comments (as have others) and they were never censored before. Is this what I’m fighting for?
What if we’re right?
Hopefully this was just a glitch.
mine never got on…and they weren’t bad..
More likely you did something that triggered the spam filer. Lots of links, perhaps?
I’ve posted some fairly inflamatory stuff, openly predicting a sescessionist movement here in the US, and not a single one of my posts has ever been blocked.
One of these days I will learn to always use a spell checker. Today wasn’t that day.
Thanks one and all. We’ll call it a fluke and see what happens.
By the way, anybody know if its illegal to call for succession?
“Consider Detroit: the fruits of 75 years of liberal and almost 40 years of black rule is total collapse of the city and society.”
Consider Mississippi after more than a hundred years of WHITE Democrat rule.
STILL the most backwardass state in the Union 50 years after the end of Jim Crow.
You want to let a pack of Democrats run your state/city/nation?
Might as well cut your own throat and be done with it.
There was an African-American woman who had intended to vote for Hillary but was so intimidated by the Panthers that she passed right by the polling place without going in. She was elderly and originally from the south and remembered quite well when such intimidation was directed at blacks in general by whites. She was duly upset that she hadn’t been able to cast her vote, but she was deeply, deeply disturbed, saddened and infuriated that she had been subjected to this treatment by black men. Where would her case fall under Holder House Rules?
I’m sure Holder and Obama would consider it justifiable pay back.
Just to be a little more clear. To most liberals, ideology trumps even race. The fact that the woman wanted to vote for Hillary over the Messiah was all the evidence needed to prove her reactionary tendencies.
Payback is “social justice,” after all (along with forcible wealth-sharing to those making said payback).
an excellent article and very disturbing.
the USA is on the same path as Zimbabwe.
…I don’t see any light in this tunnel. this is a prelude to mad max
Denying the light in the tunnel won’t make the locomotive bearing down on you disappear.
I think the biggest misonception is that we can “remedy” the past. was slavery a good thing no, however itstme that we move on. Every culture d slaves, black had them whites, asians etc. i some parts slavery still exists. and the same people who cry about somethign thatended 200 yrs ago wouldnt lift a finger and accept that it still exists today. the only way you can ‘make it better’ is not to allow race to permeate your decision. and thi is where govt has screwed up. instread of creating an athmosphere where people ca get to know eash other, they decided to legislate popularity. Obama and his crew now have the best place to get even for the things they think we did. they dont want equality, the w to be the massa. and the dems went from ownign lack to owning everyone
But left/liberals are all about group rights– what group you belong to, which ones are bad, which ones deserve special advantages, etc.– because individual rights and equality before the law are “racist” just like the Constitution that guarantees them and interferes with left/liberals idea of “social justice” where various groups get what left/liberals feel they should.
Folks when you elect a rabid anti-American (um see his pre-candidate life, if you can) who is probably also an undeclared muslim (you know, the ones who say they want to kill us..) this is what happens.
A bunch of angry Harvard ne’er do wells, at best. Obamas’ cant even fly straight enough to be lawyers – both disbarred!
His agenda is to gut America, and he is doing well on all fronts.
With his stated and obvious anti-American and pro-terrorist sentiments/client base, the fact that the guy Holder is top cop means we are in big trouble.
Obama, Holder, Napolitano, Biden versus the hyenas of the world. USA in BIG trouble.
Obama stated in his book he admired greatlty Malcolm X. Malcolm X stated that true equality in America would never happen until first America was destroyed (as it is) and “rebuilt”. This President is working to fufill this racist agenda.
“I’m not standing here speaking to you as an American, or a patriot, or a flag-saluter, or a flag-waver–no, not I. I’m speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of the victim. I don’t see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.
– Malcolm X, “The Ballot or the Bullet,” April 3, 1964
As a veteran law enforcement officer I’m ashamed that the top law enforcement person in our country is Eric Holder. He doesn’t have a clue what we, as LEO’s, and for that matter soldiers do on a daily basis. We’re supposed to swallow our pride, we’re trained to be restrained in the face of opposition, and to obey our oaths that we took. We’re not allowed to let our personal feelings interfere with our duties. How is it that a Marine, sailor, sheriff, deputy, patrolman, detective, lieutenant, captain, or anyone else is held to a standard yet the top official, who took the same oath as we did, is not held to that standard? He’s a disgrace. You know what guts is? What we do every day. We put our personal feelings aside and do our duty and sometimes it hurts and it’s lonely. When the Attorney General refused to prosecute Black Panthers intimidating witnesses that was the final straw for me. Refusing to prosecute people intimidating American citizens who are exercising their Constitutional rights of voting? What a disgrace. That’s the same as a soldier running away from a fire fight while his buddy is bleeding to death. That’s no different than a detective blowing off a child rape case or a patrol officer refusing to go into a dangerous situation because the victim might be a certain color. I hope civilians grasp how serious this is to those of us that took the oath, have bled for this country, and who serve or who have served our nation. He’s an utter disgrace to most of us… black, white, red, brown, or any color. Why do we have to look for men and women wearing camouflage, blue uniforms, wearing badges, driving vehicles with purple heart plates, fighting overseas, or the ghosts of men at rest in veteran’s cemetaries to find honor? What the hell happened to this great nation?
At one time we followed the concept of “Lex Rex” (the Law is King) now we have returned to the concept of “Rex Lex” (The King is Law). It will not end well.
True, every word is true. These people are nasty, black- only agenda oriented, vengeful minded fools. They want legislated financial reparations for imagined slights. Cowardice? Cowardice is hiding your racism until you occupy the highest law enforcement ofice in the land, then talking about the ‘cowardice’ you see in others. Look for the muffled oar blogspot about Holder’s keynote speech at a radical black muslim convention.
I have one further comment. Like our fathers before us we, the men and women in the military and law enforcement, get scared shitless all the time. It’s human. We suck it up and do our duty even though we know we might not live to see tomorrow or if we do we might be horribly maimed. What’s Holder worried about? A few phone calls from the President or the Black Panthers? Maybe a couple of political operatives that have an agenda? What a poor excuse for not doing one’s duty after swearing to do so. The one thing that police officers, soldiers, firefighters, and veterans can identify rather quickly is cowardice. We have a coward as the top law enforcement official in the country. Everybody else can make up their own minds about our “Commander-in-Chief.” I’ve made up my mind already and it’s not pretty.
Would love to see Elana Kagan asked her opinion.
My sincere thanks to the author. I will never forget these injustices and will take it upon myself to educate my friends, family, and trusted associates about the true nature of this administration.
Thank you J. Christian Adams. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
You are taking a risk. I am sure there are others who would join you from DOJ if they could.
You are a brave young man. Our country needs more young men like you. You are my hero.
The VERY DAY I saw those men at the polling place I have asked my husband nearly every day.
What is going on in America? Why isn’t the truth being told? Why doesn’t B.O. do the right thing?
Do two wrongs make a right? NO.
Thank you J. Christian Adams. Your Mom and Dad (and entire family) must be smiling so much today and so PROUD of you because I know that I am and other Americans are. Be true to your moral compass. Be aware that there are those among us who have no moral compass and STAY STRONG.
MR. ADAMS, JUST SAW YOUR APPEARANCE ON ” AMERICA LIVE “, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ALL OF US BE ABLE TO JUDGE THE ” DEPT. OF JUSTICE “, OH YEAH????
OR SHOULD WE REFER TO IT AS THE REAL ” DEPT. OF CORRUPTION “,ONE CAN ONLY WAIT FOR THE THEY WILL ANSWER YOUR CHARGES?????????????
MAY GOD BLESS YOU & PROTECT YOU FOR BEING THE ” HONEST ” PERSON,& GOOD LUCK.
They did answer….. Kelly read the replies..
Mr. Adams: continue…continue pushing, keep up the fight, rally those to your side and tell us what you need—water, ammo, support, money—where does it need to go. Reach out and continue your breach through this wall—you have torn it wide open and now it needs to be followed by a full on assault to turn Eric Holder over and other corrupt people in the DOJ until they are utter toast.
You have to forgive Holder. After all, law is subordinate to politics, which is subordinate to ambition, which leads to self aggrandizement.
Holder was the DC district attorney who inherited,[ after his Republican predecessor was axed] the Madame Clinton obstruction of justice case.
Case dismissed, flushed down the memory hole. I believe he also handles the Marc Rich pardon, the guy who was pardoned after skipping out of the country. I just don’t want to believe that the $1 million his ex-wife gave to the Clintons mattered, couldn’t be! Holder has given ample proof of his total contempt for law. So who else to be AG for a piece of corrupt filth like Hussien Obama, busy now befouling our beaches so he can reduce our own energy sources.
Racists and sexists at the DOJ Civil Rights Department.
Who knew?
Yawn.
Thank you for this, and please, please don’t let this issue drop. Barone’s “Coming Thugocracy” article was so right about how this bunch would govern.
Is it possible that Obama or someone in the administration know one of the defendants, or there is a connection to ACORN or another association related to the Black Panthers? Also it is it possible that the defense knew that the case would be dropped and that is why the defendants failed and ignored to answer the complaint?
the absolute ultimate supreme irony is that this is precisely exactly the type of thing that Mr. Martin Luther King marched against.
He would be _very_ dissapointed.
Dr. King would be very disappointed in the turn of events that he put his life on the line for. He was very brave. The mission of the coward in chief is to destroy. He does not build.
If the poll thugs are not going to receive any punishment then this will continue into the next 2 important elections. The coward in chief wants only to be re-elected so he can totally destroy our country and our future.
Barry’s Banana Republic.
Thanks to J. Christian Adams for his bravery and honesty and integrity.

Please no more than ONE TERM for this inept administration, I went to school in the 50′s in the South, this country is turning backward and more and more people are getting sick of being dumped on for being WHITE. this president was educated on the tax payers dollars and has his own agenda that has nothing to do with “law” or the Constitution
PLEASE REMEMBER WE HAVE TO GET HIM OUT AND PRAY HE DOES NOT DESTROY US IN 4 YEARS
When do we impeach Obama for actively seeking the demise of the US?
Before, or after he has destroyed our country, and has let Mexico take us over?
Ad hominem arguments do not pass muster. Neither do the peoplel who use them. How disgruntled Adams was is immaterial. The important question is the accuracy of what he says.

Thank you, Mr. Adams. You confirm what I already suspected about Obama’s DOJ and voter fraud and intimidation by BLACKS in Mississippi. (I was unaware of the Ike Brown case.) It certainly explains why Bennie Thompson continues to get elected in the Delta (NW) counties and why unqualified Black attorneys are getting elected as judges. In Hinds County (Jackson), there is a Black in almost every political office, including mayor. Recently, the local newspaper ran a short article about Organizing for America (ACORN clone)–the Democratic Party’s voter registration arm–stating they will be “assisting” with voter registration and campaigning leading up to the November elections. With information in your article, I will do my best to inform Mississippians to watch for possible voter fraud and intimidation in November.
In 2006,the Bush DOJ decided not to pursue charges in a nearly identical situation against white members of the Minutemen who were allegedly intimidating Hispanic voters in Arizona.
Will the !?>Justice Department<?! and Eric Holder investigate the historical discrimation against the founders and their decendants who donated the country they fought for and founded to the govt of the U.S.of A by the govt of the U.S. of A who then took said country and benefited from it but never gave back anything in return. I for one am overdue for a BIGpayBack for contibuting a country that the world wants to live in but has not contributed a country that I would want to live in to me.
Mr. Adams has done a service to all, for the failure to lawfully respond to a subpoena is a quizzical act ordered by DoJ. Exposure of some more of the facts is a public benefit.
The DoJ refuses to pursue judicial crimes from the bench and lawyers in my home state of Florida watch them sometimes without knowledge and sometimes with certain knowledge and say nothing.
We appear to be corrupted by each of the two political parties who care insufficiently about law enforcement. Their sole lodestar is political gain.
pray to the good lord that he doesn’t lead us down the wrong path until we can admit our mistakes and get someone qualified for the job…..
the black panthers laid down a plan of achieving black power in the 60′s.i heard h. rap brown tell a large group of black people that when they went into the white man’s house to cook his food ,they should poison it. and when they go into the white lady’s house to clean her floors,they should steal her possessions.,and he said that black women have a duty to their race to have many children because the whites say that majority rules.,and the black population is close in numbers in alot of places,gary,ind.,new orleans,detroit,birmingham,atlanta,memphis.with black women giving birth to lots of children we can gain the numbers and become the majority,therefore achieving black power.and he said those children should not be given english names,they will be named from their african roots or middle eastern names.they will bring us black power.also don’t worry about food clothing or shelter ,those things will be provided.(government assistance?)
now are eric holder and the justice dept aligning with the black panther party and against truth ,justice and the american way?
proud to see mr. adams standing up for the right choice.it will be written into the book of life,i’m sure.and the pearly gates of heaven shall open up for you!
I am learning so much in the few days I’ve been reading this website. Great facts and food for thought from all of you.
Two points:
Help lessen the massive voter fraud that is surely coming our way by becoming poll watchers, voter registration checkers, etc. A Corrupt Organization Rigging elections Nov. 2010 (ACORN) needs watching no matter what it calls itself now.
I pray J. Christian Adams and all other Americans who are finding their long-suppressed voices have good personal security and God’s blessings.
I am learning so much in these few days I’ve been reading this website. Good facts and good discussion. Two things:
Everyone needs to get involved in stopping the massive voter fraud that is surely coming our way in November. A Corrupt Organization Rigging elections Nov. 2010 (ACORN) needs watching no matter what it currently calls itself. Volunteer to check voter registrations, be a poll watcher, etc. or all our correct assessments about our current gov’t will only be word play.
God bless J. Christian Adams and all other brave Americans who are finding their long-suppressed voices. I pray all of you are very careful about your personal security.
After reading a number of these posts, I must ask, “are you people serious??”. Seriously? Really??
But of course. The unwashed, fed the manna of the MSM might think us mad. We are not.
See especially the deflections early on by BC, where he points out flaws in the DOJ under W’s administration that have nothing to do with how many here view justice.
The MSM always whine: “So what; he did it” when we care nothing of who did it, but what was and is done.
This administration is guilty of heresy and treason. Plain and simple. Their projection will not save them.
God save us and watch yer topknot…
Fascinating article Mr. Adams. Funny how your name hearkens J. Quincy Adams. Good luck to you. As I spake to CTLib, Watch yer Topknot!
James May and Clare Spark, may others find the respect for your words I’ve found by following the links…
Just a Post Script; hope you’ve all seen the new old news about voter fraud and voter intimidation against Hillary Clinton (oh, my, does Barry have no shame? Intimidation against his own? Oh, wait; she’s white…) exposed in Gigi Gaston’s documentary discussed on Fox and at RightPundits (http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=6660)
Post on…

Purdue: how about online did you try going online do they have a complaint a link or anything
Brian: no no I haven’t tried online
Purdue: you might want to take a look there that might be another avenue see if you get a response there
Brian: I don’t mean sound short with you but I haven’t spoken with my children for two years now because of trying to expose this stuff. And I am getting very frustrated with this whole process now I have gone through every legal avenue you folks are the next step
Purdue: what do you mean you folks?
Brian: I’m sorry
Purdue: what do you mean you folks?
Brian: the office of the inspector general is the next step.
Purdue: ok uh and what’s the issue were dealing with
Brian: we are dealing with the department of justice refusing to prosecute a case. I’ve given
Purdue: when you say the department of justice are you referring to a specific us attorney’s office
Brian: I am speaking about the civil rights division the criminal section
Purdue: civil rights division yeh um well you know they have a mission a statement and I don’t have any jurisdiction in telling them what they can open on and what they shouldn’t open on
Brian: well that’s fine but you are the ones who investigate fraud or abuse of power by them right?
Purdue: well no no we don’t that’s not quite accurate there um we we investigate waste fraud and abuse ah involving or within the department of justice
Brian: and that’s what this is abuse
Purdue: well tell me what the abuse is
Brian: the abuse is I gave them two other cases that were exactly the same as mine and they did not address any of the concerns that I asked them to address instead they tried to put it back off on my divorce and it has nothing to with the divorce
Purdue: ok um hey look I honestly we this agency doesn’t have jurisdiction in telling the civil rights division or the criminal division what they should open on or not we don’t
Brian: but you do investigate abuse by them correct
Purude: not by them if there was a supervisor in that agency abusing a lower echelon employee we would investigate that.
Brian: I see but if there abusing their power and discriminating against me you wouldn’t investigate that?
Purdue: no and actually if your being discriminated against um
Brian: well that was Mr. Adams claims that they discriminate against white people well
Purdue: I don’t know Mr. Adams I am sorry
Brian: he used to work for that voter fraud department or voting department or whatever I want to file a claim against them and have you folks investigate them can you do that?
Purdue: nope I can’t cause it’s not it doesn’t fall within our jurisdiction or our threshold
Brian: well Mr. Purdue this is all part of a whistleblowers case and I want you to know I am recording this call and these calls are going to be made public.
