The Justice Dept under Bush declined to prosecute this case. Get the facts right before spreading bad information. You do not win an argument by using bad information or misleading, you simply poison the system.
ReplyDeleteI see someone has been watching too much Keith Olbermann, as we do because we always catch him lying. Remember, if you lie to idiots enough, they eventually qill believe you. I see it's working.
ReplyDeleteThe case involving Black Panthers intimidating voters at a polling station during the 2008 elections, which resulted in a dismissal against defendants who wielded batons in a threatening manner while making inflammatory and derogatory remarks directed at white people, was dropped on Holder's orders.
Tom Perez, the Assistant Attorney General for the civil rights division, said that the facts of the case did not “constitute a prosecutable violation.” Therefore, it was Bush’s Department of Justice who dropped the ball on the case, not Obama’s. While Olbermann is right that Bush’s DOJ didn’t prosecute, his comments implied that they were the ones who dropped all the charges. That’s not the case.
“In January 2009, less than two weeks before the Bush administration left office, the civil rights division invoked a rarely used section of the Voting Rights Act to file a civil lawsuit alleging voter intimidation by both men, the party chairman and the party.
In April 2009, the division seemed to win the case by default because the New Black Panthers failed to show up in court. But the following month, a longtime Justice official, Loretta King — who was then the acting head of the division — decided to reduce the scope of the case.
The department dropped the charges against the party, its chairman and the man who was not carrying a club. It pressed forward with the lawsuit against the man with the club, obtaining an injunction that forbids him from carrying a weapon near an open polling place in Philadelphia through 2012.”
I would ask you why you let Olbermann insult your intelligence but it's quite obvious you have none. Man up sissy. You get the facts.
