NAACP Lobbies in Favor of Voter Intimidation? DOJ also?

"Some people are more equal than others".

The National Association for the Advancement of Liberal Colored People, according to management within the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice,  lobbied the government to dismiss the DOJ case against the New Black Panthers AT THE SENTENCING PHASE OF THE TRIAL. The whistleblowing attorney from the DOJ resigned in part because DOJ attorneys were prohibited by the administration from testifying before the Civil Rights Commission in this case. His supervisor's responsibilities within DOJ were sharply curtailed after he opposed dismissal of the case (he was relieved of his post).

Again, to the NAACP, "Social Justice" seems to mean special privileges for certain interest groups. The dismissal of this case treats certain victims as less important as others. "The Obama Administration is turning a blind eye to racial equality". The Department of Justice no longer supports "justice" in the traditional sense.  Transforming America.

The traditional major media did not show up at the Civil Rights Commission hearing. Fox News and the DC Examiner went.

Our country has some very deep problems.

Update: Abigail Themstrom calls for less inflammatory rhetoric by conservatives and defends (or at least tries to explain) the handling of the case. She has a few good points.  Inflammatory rhetoric is expected from liberals, but it undermines the positions of conservatives.  On the other hand,  boots do look like "jackboots" when military-style garb is tucked into the tops of them. Nightsticks are, indeed, weapons, which is why police carry them. And one of the defendants in the case is far more inflammatory in his rhetoric than any mainstream conservative has been concerning this case.

  But she  points out some far larger issues about which conservatives should be concerned if they wish to promote a race-neutral society.   She sees this case as small potatoes compared to the race-based policy changes concerning voting now under consideration. But not everyone takes this case lightly.

Jim Treacher:

Stopping a black guy from intimidating voters is racist, you racist. . . .

On a related note, a pet peeve: Could we please stop calling it “reverse racism”? Racism is racism. The only reverse racism is not being racist.

Update: President of New Black Panther Party admits voter intimidation (his little brother is the one who called for murdering white people and their babies in front of a National Geographic camera).

Update: Remember the idea behind Careful Reading Tuesday.
