Federal Court finds Obama appointees interfered with New Black Panther prosecution
A federal court in Washington, DC, held last week that political appointees appointed by President Obama did interfere with the Department of Justice’s prosecution of the New Black Panther Party.
The ruling came as part of a motion by the conservative legal watch dog group Judicial Watch, who had sued the DOJ in federal court to enforce a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents pertaining to the the New Black Panthers case. Judicial Watch had secured many previously unavailable documents through their suit against DOJ and were now suing for attorneys’ fees.
Obama’s DOJ had claimed Judicial Watch was not entitled to attorney’s fees since “none of the records produced in this litigation evidenced any political interference whatsoever in” how the DOJ handled the New Black Panther Party case. But United States District Court Judge Reggie Walton disagreed. Citing a “series of emails” between Obama political appointees and career Justice lawyers, Walton writes:
The documents reveal that political appointees within DOJ were conferring about the status and resolution of the New Black Panther Party case in the days preceding the DOJ’s dismissal of claims in that case, which would appear to contradict Assistant Attorney General Perez’s testimony that political leadership was not involved in that decision. Surely the public has an interest in documents that cast doubt on the accuracy of government officials’ representations regarding the possible politicization of agency decision-making.
…
In sum, the Court concludes that three of the four fee entitlement factors weigh in favor of awarding fees to Judicial Watch. Therefore, Judicial Watch is both eligible and entitled to fees and costs, and the Court must now consider the reasonableness of Judicial Watch’s requested award.

My friends, Barack Obama is not a Black Panther. While I have not read any of this report, I strongly disagree with it. Now if you will excuse me, I’m going to meet my friends for lunch and I’ve been looking forward to eating some more acacia plants.

as someone (or many) said.
“This Administration will go down in history as the most corrupt.”
That’s if we can get them out of the house and away from the Button.

This entire administration is a continuing criminal enterprise. We don’t have enough jail space for all these perps. This may take a generation to clean up.

JUDICIAL WATCH are good guys. They deserve every penny they can get. Even if it is OUR money, I’d look at it like a surprise tax refund if they help take down Gruppenführer Holder.

Racism is alive, and well in America, and the “RIC” (racist in chief) is sitting in the oval office.
Some other perpetrators of racism in America today are: NAACP, New black panther party, KKK, NOI (Nation of Islam) lead by Farrakhan, Black liberation theology, Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) . . .

If there were any justice in America, Holder would be making license plates for the better part of a decade or more.

Post-Racialism, the Rise in Black Crime, and Election 2012
There is a sinister racial campaign in progress in our country today. As per usual, just discussing that effort will be deemed racist by black agitators who have successfully created an atmosphere of fear of being accused of racism in white America.
C’est la vie. Always consider the source.
Though they’re closely related, I’m not directly referring to Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign for re-election to the presidency nor to Democrat campaigns for various local and national offices but to their combined efforts to cover up the extent of black crime in the United States and to conceal their concerted attempts to persuade the majority of Americans that a minority is better equiped to deal with America’s problems.
Barack Hussein Obama won the highest office in the land by appealing to white voters largely on the basis that he would effect change in America’s often-strained race relations with the hope that, combined with a lock on the African-American, homosexual, Hispanic, and labor union constituencies, he could gain sufficient support from whites to defeat the lackluster John McCain.
Integral to his appeal were Obama’s calculated suggestions that his election would herald a post-racial nation, a theme he often repeated and which was frequently touted by his mainstream media. For example, the day after he and Joe Biden received 52.87% of the total popular vote, the LA Times featured an article by Daniel Schorr titled, “A New ‘Post-Racial’ Political Era in America.”
Obama had obviously succeeded in convincing some naive whites that racial strife would soon be an ugly memory. He garnered 43% of white ballots–the same percentage Bill Clinton won in the 3-man 1996 race–and the nation had its first (semi) black president.
Recently, Obama lied and hypocritically stated in a Rolling Stone interview, “I never bought into the notion that by electing me, somehow we were entering into a postracial period,” a retrospective that contradicted his previous observations.
Although there are powerful arguments to the contrary, the theory that white guilt played a major role in Obama’s 43% is widely dismissed.
Indeed, whites feeling guilt over slavery is as irrational as their experiencing guilt because of black poverty. Unless their forbears were slaveholders a century and a half ago or they had personally caused blacks to be poor today, no American should have voted for Obama in 2008 for any reason other than that they believed him better qualified to lead the country than McCain.
However, that presumption was skewed by the unprecedented 93% of African-Americans who voted for Obama four years ago, a percentage proving either that those African-Americans thought Obama was their savior or that he had bamboozled them into voting for him strictly due to his race.
A sense that American blacks would be somewhat placated by Obama’s election and that black violence, murder, and general mayhem would be curtailed as a result was implicit in his “post-racial” propaganda but the precise opposite is the case and that could be Obama’s undoing in 98 days.
His first election actually coincided with a massive increase in black violence, etc. The question is, Will 43% of whites still be supportive and will white guilt still be a factor in 2012 in view of that increased violence?
Furthermore, if Obama and his administration are perceived as encouraging racial divisiveness and engaging in tactics and instituting policies which are clearly designed to favor blacks and to discriminate against whites, will the president get any white votes in November?
Of course, he will. Remember those gays, Hispanics, and labor unionists who think and vote solely on self-serving interests. But, 43%? Highly unlikely.
Except in the reporting by Obama’s MSM, which are far more interested in Obama’s re-election than in honest journalism, black crime in America has increased exponentially since 2009. Mobs of blacks have been recorded but mostly-unreported rampaging in Chicago, Baltimore, Ames, Iowa, Peoria, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Seattle, and Portland, and numerous other cities. (http://tinyurl.com/d8benxc)
Despite that rampant mayhem, the MSM has failed to take notice or, when they do, they fail to identify the racial makeup of the rioters. Providing a detailed description of the rampagers, including the color of their skin, would greatly assist in their apprehension but the mainstreamers have little concern for catching them. On the other hand, they do tend to find a great deal of time and space to devote to relatively rare, alleged white violence against blacks as in the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case.
Compounding journalistic malpractice and as previously noted here, editors have admitted they censor the news to preserve racial peace.
All the mainstream media are doing, however, is maliciously cloaking the truth about black crime and preserving the myth that Obama’s election led to a post-racial America. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=27327.)
