This is the best example I have seen of a journalist making excuses for the racist actions of the Obama adminsitration.

Yes, how dare Ms. Powers cite the testimony before the Civil Rights Commission and other facts when talking to Ms. Kelly?
ReplyDeleteBTW, you might want to check out what a member of the CRR has to say about this controversy who isn't a Leftie or even a Democrat:
A scholar whom President George W. Bush appointed as vice chairwoman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, Abigail Thernstrom has a reputation as a tough conservative critic of affirmative action and politically correct positions on race.
But when it comes to the investigation that the Republican-dominated commission is now conducting into the Justice Department’s handling of an alleged incident of voter intimidation involving the New Black Panther Party — a controversy that has consumed conservative media in recent months — Thernstrom has made a dramatic break from her usual allies.
“This doesn’t have to do with the Black Panthers; this has to do with their fantasies about how they could use this issue to topple the [Obama] administration,” said Thernstrom, who said members of the commission voiced their political aims “in the initial discussions” of the Panther case last year.
“My fellow conservatives on the commission had this wild notion they could bring Eric Holder down and really damage the president,” Thernstrom said in an interview with POLITICO.
Nice smoke screen.
ReplyDeleteLet's examine the facts.
We have a whistle blower who has identified by name an Obama admininstration appointee who has stated a policy of not prosecuting actions such as this when done by blacks.
Let's have a Special Prosecutor and find out who is telling the truth.
