Race Baiting US politics

U.S. CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS PLANS WALK OUT DURING CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS VOTE……..

 

Despicable.

Race baiting like they never race baited before.

The Congressional Black Caucus plans to walk out of the House tomorrow when the contempt-of-Congress vote on Attorney General Eric Holder is taken. Apparently, they have scheduled a meeting at 10 a.m. to discuss the walkout and urge other Democrats to join them. Holder, the first black attorney general, has not released documents relating to the Fast and Furious debacle, and Darrell Issa, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has been relentless in his search for the truth.

The Democrats are certain to mention the fact that House Republicans, then in the minority, walked out in 2008 when contempt charges were filed by the House Democrats against Josh Bolten and Harriet Miers, staffers in George W. Bush’s administration. Of course, they will neglect to mention that when the Republicans walked out, it wasn’t over the contempt charges per se, but the fact that the House Democrats used the contempt charges to avoid passing the FISA bill, which was about to expire and allowed the federal government to initiate new activities monitoring terrorists. House Republicans were furious that the Democrats were putting partisan politics before the nation’s security.

And now the Democrats are doing it again. By walking out of the vote against Holder, they are showing that they are more concerned about the fact that Holder’s demise could damage their president than the fact that Holder endangered US security. Brian Terry would be alive today if not for Fast and Furious; who knows how much other damage has been inflicted as a result of that policy?

  1. They did not get the memo that Obama and race hustling killed the civil rights movement. While they are at it, they can boycott the Dining Room.

  2. Black Caucus??? You mean reps in the US congress are organising themselves along racial lines?

    How absolutely disgusting. I suppose Chinese, Indians, Native Americans etc are excluded from the caucus.

    Why are the media mum about such racist groups in Congress of all places?

    Why are racists allowed to become law makers?

  3. Quote: Holder, the first black attorney general, has not released documents relating to the Fast and Furious debacle

    Faust and Furious – as in selling one’s soul to the devil, is more appropriate.
