Democrats are in an uproar over new revelations that the Bush Administration’s political appointees in the Department of Justice overruled career lawyers in the Civil Rights Division who were in civil litigation against a group of white conservative activists engaged in voter intimidation tactics on Election Day.
More troubling, the Department of Justice had obtained a default judgment against the defendants and the political appointees ordered the career lawyers to go no further, despite having judgment in hand.
Democrat John Lewis (D-GA) is demanding an investigation saying not since civil rights activists were attacked by dogs in the sixties has the government so cavalierly disregarded the basic civil rights of its citizens.
Except that’s not the story at all.
Consequently, there is no outrage by Democrats.
The voter intimidation happened by Black Panthers who supported Barack Obama.
It was Barack Obama’s political appointees who shut down career lawyers going after the Black Panthers for voter intimidation.
And the mainstream media yawns.
Thankful, the Washington Times is on the story.
Don't forget it was BUSH DOJ that was politicized

One of the more disturbing things I've seen
charlesmartel Friday, May 29th at 12:21PM EDT (link)since election day, and there’ve been plenty. I remember watching this video on YouTube back in November and thinking to myself that there was no way that these thugs would ever be held accountable for their actions, and even if they were, whatever damage they may have done couldn’t be undone. So does this mean I should bring my own weapon to the polling place next election cycle? Do conservatives and/or white people in general need to start going en masse to vote, or else risk intimidation or harm?
This is scary stuff.
But...
