Obama Lies about Voter Fraud and DOJ Investigations Before Paranoid Audience

A tragic phenomenon has affected President Obama since he became President.  The more radical his audience, the more outrageous his lies.

At his appearance before Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, Obama called voter fraud claims “bogus” and said his Justice Department has “taken on more than 100 voting rights cases since 2009. ”

This is a bald faced lie.  One need merely click this link at the Justice Department’s own website to see it is a lie.  The truth is that 39 cases have been brought, not 100, and only 13 relate to protecting minority voting rights – usually foreign language ballot issues.  The rest of the cases involve states sending out military ballots (an effort only begun after blistering coverage at PJ Media and elsewhere in 2010).

Thirty-nine does not equal 100, and 13 even less so.  Will Stephanie Condon at CBS News correct the false numbers which she so willingly reported?  Of course not.  She isn’t just biased.  She’s part of the administration’s public relations team, even if the federal government doesn’t sign her paycheck.

Here’s the dirty secret no sycophantic reporter will mention: the Bush Justice Department had a significantly more robust enforcement record in voting rights than the Obama Justice Department.

Regarding Obama’s lie that voter fraud is “bogus,” (impressive insightful language from a Harvard man), PJ Media has covered voter fraud so extensively that it is hardly worth rehashing the hundreds of cases of fraud reported over the last few years.  If you haven’t been paying attention, Google Melowese Richardson.  Her “bogus” case of voting six times for President Obama remains uncharged by Mr. Holder’s Justice Department.  President Obama is back to giving cover to criminal behavior in American elections.

But you can forgive President Obama if he felt comfortable lying to Al Sharpton’s audience.  They’d believe anything.  Remember, Sharpton is a man who blamed the Jews in New York for all manner of conspiracies.  Riots he inspired led to chants of “kill the Jew.”  The “No Justice, No Peace” mantra emerged out of this violence as a not-so-subtle racial threat to New York Jews and the NYPD that had to deal with the Sharpton-motivated chaos.  Both Holder and Obama appeared before a wall containing the same slogan this week.  The audience Obama spoke to was already primed to believe outlandish fantasy and racially soaked paranoia.  That the President of the United States set foot in the room tells you everything you need to know about the man.
