I wait with baited breath to see how many liberals, you know the ones that cried about rampant Republican voter intimidation, will note how the Obama Justice Department has recently dropped charges against three members of the New Black Panther Party (NBPP). Many leftie bloggers are stuck on statements made by former Colorado representative, Tom Tancredo (R-CO), that La Raza is the Latino equivalent to the KKK.

The case showed that voters were greeted by at least three uniformed men, who remarked that they [whites] were about to be ruled by the black man. Anyone who is an objective viewer would agree that this is a travesty of justice. No one should be intimidated into voting for someone they choose not to. These uniformed men had a clear objective...to intimidate people into voting for Obama. I said throughout the campaign that some people would vote for Obama because of "white guilt." How could they stand in the way of a black man, with a serious shot at the presidency? Former Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, Geraldine Ferraro was right when she said that if Obama had been a white man, he would not be in the position he was. We'd either have another President Clinton or President McCain. If you believe that it's only conservatives who are noticing Obama's race problem, in regards to Sotomayor and this breaking story, it isn't. Some prominent black "leaders" are also noticing how Obama's been silent on race, since his speech last year during the Jeremiah Wright incident.
Although it may be overblown, there seems to be some validity to the claims made by Rush Limbaugh that to be promoted in Obama Administration is to "hate whitey." He nominated a woman who believes her race makes her a better jurist than a white contemporary, his Attorney General believes we are "a nation of cowards" on racial issues, and believes it's ok to dismiss a concrete case of voter intimidation because the perps are black. The videos show a clear violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which these uniformed men believe only protects black voters.
There is an argument from Governor Sonny Perdue that the election of President Obama is a reason to repeal the Voting Rights Act in total, especially the provision that forces the courts to oversee elections in Georgia. This nation is a very different one than it was in 1965, and the courts should recognize that fact. A repeal of the Voting Rights Act will not rescind the right to vote for blacks, and as far as I am concerned, it's outdated. Everyone should recognize that the election of Obama to the presidency is a clear indication that we have moved beyond race in this country...but not the Misery Merchants, who would be jobless.
If these three men had been members of a white supremacist group, no one would consider dropping these charges against them. Need we remind Holder about the two white men who were determined to make life difficult for Obama, upon his election and the DHS report which sought to only target right-leaning domestic terrorists. It seems that Limbaugh is right, to make it in the Obama Administration, one needs to hate "whitey" and conservatives...heh, and liberals felt that firing nine US Attorneys, who serve at the pleasure of the president, was politicizing the Justice Department.
...the ever-changing goalposts of liberals never ceases to amaze me...
Have a great day...
