A Long Record of Obamite Thuggery

Only the most egregious double-standards in the establishment media have kept this from becoming a big story: The Obama/Holder Civil Rights Division at DoJ has gone so far in politicizing the hiring of supposedly non-political “career” attorneys as to shock the conscience. I actually first broke this story nearly 11 months ago while at The Washington Times, but all credit now goes to Pajamas Media for doing the incredibly painstaking work of going much, much further in documenting the abuses. Here, from my column today at CFIF, note this:
So far, those five sections in the Civil Rights Division have hired 70 lawyers. According to Pajamas, every single one - every single one, every single one, every single one - has boasted a resume full of ideologically leftist connections. These people were members of groups like “Queer Resistance Front,” “Intersex Society of North America,” and of course People for the American Way. Their published essays focused on issues such as “Genital Normalizing Surgery on Intersexed Infants” and on arguing that providing material support for terrorism isn’t a war crime. They, or those promoted, have histories of extracurricular activities that include getting arrested at a World Bank protest, going on a hunger strike while chaining oneself to an oak tree and doing advocacy work for “the rights of incarcerated native Hawaiians to dance the hula and perform Hawaiian chants and rituals in privately owned prisons in Arizona.” A large number of them have donated significant campaign funds to Barack Obama, and some to other liberal candidates.
Please do read the whole thing. It’ll make steam come from your ears.

Operation Fast and Furious. Drop the hulu skirt story and pick up the real thing.
Timothy L. Pennell| 8.24.11 @ 7:37PM
Agreed.
FOCUS on Fast and Furious, and this will all be over, soon.
This was a plan, out of the White House, to run guns to the Narco Terrorists, in the hope that they would KILL people with these guns, so they could use this as an EXCUSE to bring MORE GUN CONTROL to bear.
There is BLOOD on this Administrations hands, AMERICAN BLOOD, and Mr. Issa needs to use this to put the RACIST "My People" Eric Holder, and his Muslim Boss - Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama/Abu Hussain, BEHIND BARS, where they deserve to be.

CASE IN POINT
Outside the Wisconsin State Fair a large group of black teenagers formed. I say large group only because no one of "authority" bothered to make an estimate. A fight had broken out inside the fair grounds and then moved outside the gates.
Then, as the fair closed for the night, the mob of black teens estimated in the hundreds by eye witnesses, and in the teens by the press on the ground, began attacking whites. It was deliberate. The blacks looked in car windows to see if the occupants were black or white, and only attacked whites. White fair goers were singled out and beaten.
Now, have you heard about this? There has been scant news coverage on the race riot. Have you heard anyone suggest that these attacks were hate crimes? Not a peep. The liberal press has put this entire episode in the trash bin.
Do you think, even for an instant that the Government will charge a single black teen with a hate crime? That is a Federal crime, it takes the Justice Department to do that. A turtle has a better chance of winning at Bellmount than a single black teen has of being busted for a hate crime.
Now, suppose that a group of white teens targeted blacks? How fast do you suppose the Federal Government would react?
The scales of Justice must be in ballance or there is no justice for anyone. Hireing only liberals at the Department of Justice destroyes any hope that justice can or will exist. Just ask the whites beaten and put in a hospital by the black teens of Wisconsin.
