Lamar Smith (R-TX-21) should have a field day with Holder.

Although the Washington Post article maintains a scrupulously neutral tone, the evidence it presents is intensely damning to the Justice Department. Given the source of this article, charges that Adams earlier made have been given mainstream certification. Yet, this story seems to be causing little stir, as evidenced by the low number of comments posted here.

I fear that the release of this article on Friday and the fact that even conservatives have not widely embraced and publicized it means it will not have “legs.” It should, because this story is large enough that it should result in the dismissal of Holder and a wholesale housecleaning at the Justice Department with charges being filed against several for obstruction of justice.

We need a 2010 Voting Rights Act to protect all voters regardless of race!!! Hello Congress??

Here’s a prediction: Should the Repubs gain control of both the House and the Senate ( I know, not likely) ,
Holder will decide to spend more time with his family. I certainly wouldn’t claim to understand rules and regs regarding congressional investigations, but my guess is that Holder could not withstand such.

PS-

I was a little worried about this report, because several appointments to the commission expire in December, and Obama will appoint enough new commissioners to control the commission thereafter.

Looks like the current majority is making sure the report comes out before Obama people can squelch it. Good deal. I can hardly wait to see the report.

Coming only a couple of days before the election…

Barnestormer on October 22, 2010 at 10:02 PM

I think Barnestormer has it figured. The meeting where the report was to be considered was postponed from Oct.22 to the 29th. WaPo waited until the final moment to do this story. They weren’t going to do anything until the CCR report forced their hand, so they were going to go with it on the same day the report was supposed top come out. But the meeting got postponed.

My guess is they have a bootleg of the report, and they think others do too. So they went with it, even though the official report won’t get out publicly until next Friday.

I dunno that WaPo deserves a “second look”. Let’s not forget that there are Democrats out there who believe they can recreate Clinton’s second term success by standing aside and allowing a Republican Congress. If the 2012 vote were held today… Obama’s a goner and they know it.

Holder still thinks we are a “nation of cowards” and treats us accordingly.

J. Christian Adams is the mostly unsung hero in all of this. Holder didn’t expect anyone to stand up and do what is right. He expected to intimidate the department into backing down and keeping quiet. That’s how the bully/coward scenario usually plays out.

Thank you, J. Christian Adams.

Coming to a Congressional investigatory committee near you soon: Congressman Darrell Issa.

He’s got subpoena power and he’s not afraid to use it.

Time will tell. Isn’t he the one that has already suggested working with dems recently? Or maybe I heard wrong?

The article basically distilled it down to the parts. So there isn’t a sense of the crime committed. This is a tactic taken when you KNOW you are wrong, but just want to dish it out in small pieces to influence the jury into giving you a slap rather than FIRING E. Holder.

The WaPo has writers and editors who cannot understand the federal budget cycle… this is their ‘home turf’ and they can’t get it right.

The bent of the WaPo is bad enough that one single, solitary piece is not a glimmer of hope but an anomaly. It will soon be buried by the WaTimes and WaExaminer just as soon as they can get the rights to the comics the Postie currently runs. Without Garfield, Sherman’s Lagoon and Get Fuzzy there is no reason to buy the Post.

Of course. With obama and his cronies it is nothing but race. He’s the most racially divisive president we’ve had since Wilson.

SECOND LOOK AT WAPO?

AP, you’re asking WAY WAY TOO MUCH! WAPO is nothing but a socialist propaganda newspaper. I have forgiven it as a liberal rag, but a socialist? NO FORGIVENESS.

TO WAPO GUYS: FOR CHRISSIE’S SAKE, IT’S TIME TO GIVE UP THE NAME “WASHINGTON”. Use MARX, LENINGRAD, STALIN, MAO ZEDONG, OR ANYTHING THAT SUITES YOU WELL.

BUT NOT WASHINGTON ….

THE GUY’S A FIGHTER AND A FREEDOM LOVER AND WILL NEVER SUCCUMB TO WAPO’s COWARD ANTICS!

“There are career people who feel strongly that it is not the voting section’s job to protect white voters,” the lawyer said.

Silly me, I thought it was their job to protect ALL voters.

….

Silly white me.

I’ve been thinking about that black panther Philly thing. Considering that the black vote went well over %90 for Obama who were they hoping to intimidate? Then it occurred to me that national offices weren’t the only races on the ballot that day. Were they hoping to influence local races? Were there any black panthers on the ballot for locally? I haven’t heard a single detail of the actual investigation, so does anyone else have any information?

Allah:

Not only am I amazed that they published this, I’m doubly amazed that they did it 10 days before a giant midterm.

Giant red font on Drudge regarding wikileaks Iraq fiasco:

GREATEST DATA LEAK IN MILITARY HISTORY!

I think Wapo knew exactly what they were doing.

Second look at WaPo?

yeah…Hardly my beta bro.

This is pure self-preservation and bet-hedging. They see which way the winds are blowing, and don’t want to be toppled in the hurricane; like th eNYTimes and other liberal rags.

Oh, to be sure, the WaPo will still border on Pravda level propaganda in favor of the darl lord Obamus; but there will be some modicum of balance heretofore not seen in their colums…

I love the smell of the dying MFM in an election year; it smells like,,,VICTORY!

I never “First Looked”! Much like The LA Times I would look at it while a bum wiped my car window with it and not a second longer. I’m not gonna give props to a newspaper for DOING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO!

Sounds like Adams et. al. have a strong "hostile work environment" case. There are double standards. We have the tools that the left brought us. Let's use them to level the playing field.
