   People directly familiar with the case, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because of fear of retribution, said career lawyers in two separate Justice offices had recommended proceeding to default judgment before political superiors overruled them.

   Tensions between career lawyers and political appointees inside the Justice Department have been a sensitive matter since allegations surfaced during the Bush administration that higher-ups had ignored or reversed staff lawyers and that some U.S. attorneys had been removed or selected for political reasons.

   During his January confirmation hearings, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said that during his lengthy Justice Department tenure, the career lawyers were “my teachers, my colleagues and my friends” and described them as the “backbone” of the department.

   “If I am confirmed as attorney general, I will listen to them, respect them and make them proud of the vital goals we will pursue together,” he said.

   The “New” Black Panthers are part and parcel of the donks’ campaign to turn this country from a Republic into a one-party dictatorship, which is why the donk “Justice” (for whom?) Department will not prosecute them.

   The first wave is for “community organizers” like ACORN to make such a mockery of the electoral system as to persuade most American voters to just throw up their hands in frustration and not even bother going to the polls.

   The second wave is where the gangstas come in: to physically intimidate anyone who still wants to make a go of casting a non-donk vote after the first wave.

   How do I know this? Simple: just imagine the lowest, ugliest, worst motivations and behaviors on the part of the donkey party, and you really can’t miss.

   “You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.”

   Isn’t that what this is really all about? Black’s with an inferiority complex. Let’s face it, if you’re a gang banger thug like the black panthers you are already low life scum. You have little hope in life.

   But the truth is I’m not better than them because I’m white. I’m better than them because I made an effort in life to be better. I’m better than them because I have more integrity. I’m better than them because I give a damn about my family and this country. I’m better than them because I work for what I want and I’m not waiting for a handout.

   What they fail to realize is they will never be better than me. They can never rule over me. Their anger and hatred won’t elevate them. No matter how much the socialist democrates hand them they will always waste it. They are losers in life. That is their choice so it becomes their destiny.

    The ultimate aim of the donks is to turn American politics into the equivalent of a Harlem Globetrotters exhibition: nobody goes to such a spectacle expecting a real game but rather a display of ball-handling wizardry and trick shots against a confused, befuddled and hapless opposing team.

    In their ideal notion of a “two-party system,” the donkey party gets to play the part of the Globetrotters and the Republicans get to play the part of the “Washington Senators” — whose sole purpose is to make the Globetrotters look good by losing “gracefully.”

    The only difference is, if you’re playing against the “Donkey Globetrotters” and actually try to win, they’ll call in a bunch of thugs from the stands to run onto the court and threaten you with violence.

    Slightly ot, but it’s something that has bothered me every time I see the “crest” of the new black panther party. Why the picture of Africa? Only two things make sense to me.

    One, the think Africa is somehow superior to the United States. If so, and I know it’s cliche, but why are they still here? If I think Texas is superior to Arkansas, I move to Texas. If I think Austrailia is superior to the United States, I move. If a person is unhappy with where they are and think someplace else offers them a better chance to fulfill their dreams, it’s human nature to move there. Right?

    If you are a person that thinks someplace else is better than where you are, yet you refuse to move there, you’re either lazy or a coward.

    The other alternative is that they know Africa is not superior to the United States. But in spite of that they want to remake the United States into Africa. I wonder if their vision comes complete with the famine, pestilence, and tribal wars and slavery that is Africa?

    Either way, they are either cowards, liars, or to lazy to move where they think they can have a better life. Be it to another state or another continent.

    Guess that makes me a racist though. Oh well. Don’t much care anymore.

    Twofoot, some interesting tidbits for you:

    Where Do Black Panthers Live?

    Black panthers live chiefly in the hot, dense tropical rainforests of south and southeast Asia. They are mainly in southwestern China, Burma, Nepal, southern India, Indonesia, and the southern part of Malaysia. In Java, Indonesia and southern Malaysia, black leopards are more common than light-colored leopards. These animals have also been reported in the dry and rocky areas of Ethiopia, the forests of Mount Kenya, and the Aberdares in Africa; however, their population in these areas is sparse.

    It is mind boggling the amount of fraud that occurred in the 2008 elections. ACORN, credit card fraud, voter intimidation, etc.

    Current top definition:

    Originally the white slave driver because he would “crack” the whip, hence the noun cracker.

    Yo homey pick the cotton faster cuz here comes ole Mr.Cracker with his whip!

    .

    “Cracker” is an old English word meaning “boaster” or “braggert.” Nothing to do with slavery – it was used in Britain before being imported here.
    The 18th century Scotch-Irish frontiersmen were a braggadocious lot, and the name seems to have become synonymous with what we would call a “redneck” (originally an Englush word for a religious dissenter, BTW) by the late 19th century – Frederick Remington uses it to refer to backcountry Floridian whites in an essay of his.

    I don’t question what it meant in Britain in the 18th century.

    But what it means today is best represented by which definitions get the most “votes” at Urban Dictionary.

    Exactly.

    A very close friend of mine was working in downtown L.A. at the time of the Rodney King riots, and she had to drive through part of that to get to the freeway. One thug even tried to block her access to the freeway. She put the car in neutral, gunned the engine as a warning, and then put it in gear. He got out of the way and she didn’t stop. If she had, she might have ended up like that truck driver that got beaten.

    “You are about to be ruled by the white man, nigger.”

    and then were let off by a white President, there would be massive riots.

    But when the situation is reversed and a half-black Usurper-in-Chief does it, we’re supposed to just accept it.

    Kind of like this…

    Obama’s victory, on the one hand, shows how much progress the Black Liberation struggle and its legacy has made in eroding white supremacy. That so many backward white people overcame their own racism to vote for Obama is a sign that the economic crisis is providing the material basis for multinational unity.

    When Bill (O’Reilly)tries to sugar coat what they are doing I just wonder if he can really be that DUMB! Only thing that makes sense to me is for the ratings. He can’t be that blind to the facts.

    O’Reilly is turning into a leftie. That is the only thing I can come up with. He has really great guests on and never lets them complete their thoughts. He not only interrupts tham, but he “puts down” what they say and actually blows them off…and I’m talking about people like Laura Ingraham and Glenn Beck. He’d better be careful, as I think he is losing viewers. He thinks he is king of the hill, but that can change. Kinda like Odumbo there in DC. Ego, power, ratings, oh how the mighty can fall if they get too full of themselves!!

    I just posted this on the ACORN thread by mistake. So I will repeat it here, where it belongs! That Black Panther intimidation tactic was scary…but, they really couldn’t do anything to anyone. All they could do is stand there and look mean. They were in a public place with people coming and going. So what were they going to do? If they try this again, and it is a public place, are we going to allow them to get away with it? Or will be stand up to them? I know these are brave-sounding words, but I guarantee it…if this happens to me, I WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED. That cracker remark was just meant to be answered. Like, “What did you just say? No one rules me…No one! The President serves US, we elect him and he is our servant.” I would also say something about the “cracker” comment…perhaps call the moron a racist or something. What could he do…hit me with that stick? Maybe. But the lawsuit I would bring would be worth it.

    I guess O’Reilly isn’t really a “leftie”, but AZ, you are right…he panders to the left. I do like his investigations and nailing the bleeding heart judges, etc. But he needs to tone down that incredible ego of his!

    It is an awesome day here in Bloomington, Minnesota! Has been all week. We need rain really badly and hopefully will get some tomorrow. But for now…paradise. This makes winter worth the hassle!! Don’t let that get out…I don’t want too many people to know the secret, that this is a beautiful place to live, if you can just avoid the blue areas. Now, I am off to work in my garden. Have a great weekend everyone!

    I find Mr Bull’s declaration very interesting.

    Here’s a lawyer who worker on civil rights cases regarding voter intimidation back during the Civil Rights bill, and he makes this statement:

    “In all of my experience in politics, in civil rights litigation, and in my efforts in the 1960′s to secure the right to vote in Mississippi through participation with civil rights leaders and The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, I have never encountered or heard of another instance in the United States where armed and uniformed men blocked the entrance of a polling location.“

    I heard stories about uniformed Miami PD doing this, when I lived in Florida. When asked to provide proof, such as photos, tape recordings, video tapes (It was 2000-2004, so video cameras were pretty prevalent), no one could show anything.

    I even offered to spend a day down at a controversial polling place with those who were making the claim, and just watching. No takers.

    Here, we have two men on video. Police arrived and determined a need to detain them. We have sworn testimony, from a lawyer who happens to have 40+ years experience in such matters.

    And the Justice Department drops the case?

    I think we are owed a full explanation, or at the very least, the immediate resignation of AG Holder.

    BTW-

    Laugh of the day right from the DOJ website, titled “100 Day Progress Report”

    In the first 100 days of the Obama Administration, Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice have successfully pursued three critical goals: (1) protecting our national security vigilantly and consistently with the rule of law; (2) reinvigorating the Department�s traditional missions, such as fighting crime, safeguarding the civil rights of all Americans, preserving our environment, protecting our public institutions from corruption, and ensuring fairness in the marketplace; and (3) recommitting the Department to its vital traditions of independence, non-partisanship, transparency, and fealty to the law.

    Two different issues here. 1st, it’s meaning today, which I do not dispute.

    2nd, the etymology, which is what I was addressing. The Urban dictionary gives a false history of the word. For that, try the Oxford English Dictionary. I would give you a quote, but I do not have access to it at this time.

    Spacycakes wanted to know why s/he was called a “cracker” without slave-owning ancestors – I replied that the origin of the word has nothing to do with slavery. I could also add that the etymology is of more than academic interest, because it was a word widely applied to poor whites not too long ago. By falsely linking it to slavery, the race-baiters reinforces the notion that all whites directly participated in the subjugation of all blacks, thereby helping justify reprisals on whites as a group.

    Too true. It is so easy to see that they COULD use this to their advantage. Oppose the heck out of it on PRINCIPLES. Use it to define and diminish barack and the dims and their way of doing things.

    Done right they could help themselves and sleep at night. The way they are doing it will give the dims a pass and piss of their constituents.

    If it wasn’t so painful for us all I would enjoy seeing them learn from their mistakes, eventually. But we are paying to high a price for the GOP’s incompetence.

    So when Obama promised hope and change, he meant hope for thugs, with the change being that they would not be prosecuted under his administration.

    Well, since The B.O. is just a typical brain-dead socialist, the words Hope and Change can mean whatever he wants. That’s the beauty of open-ended words. Just like all socialists use. The knuckle-draggers think they mean “Hope for the future because he’s going to Change the country toward freedom.” Because they believed President Bush was evil.

    The B.O. knows those words are open ended. It’s very easy for him to say, “Well you elected me because I said Hope and Change. Now I get to decide what they mean.” And that meaning will be different every day.

    Ever notice how The B.O. never uses words like freedom, liberty, and opportunity? You know, the values that made this country great?

    Government brings in radical associates to “quell violence” of peaceful gatherings. Attacks ensue and some people make use of their God-given right to defend themselves. Martial law ensues. No election in 2010.

    Barring being able to create such a scenario, the left has Acorn tucked safely in place, 2010 census data is “somehow” replete with non-existent addresses, dead people and others and if by some miracle there still is an election in 2010, the results will be mysteriously skewed as well.

    Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. That could never happen in America.

    And then we woke up!?

    Only when it is too late will these people, and Acorn, find out that they were nothing more than “useful idiots” and themselves forgotten when their usefulness ends. They expect some new social order coming; instead they may find themselves at the “bottom of the barrel”. History always repeats itself. They may be viewed, in the future, as a threat to the democrats and Obama’s quest for total power.

    Any argument about “Cracker” not being a racist term is foolish. “Cracker”, in the past, had a different meaning (usually someone from South Georgia or North Florida and was interchangeable with “Country Boy”). Atlanta had a minor league baseball team called the “Crackers” for years.

    However, the fellow in this film is using the modern meaning of the word. It is now a racial slang to mean “White Person”. It’s current meaning is just as degrading as any slur meant for any ethnicity. No regard or merit should be given to any past use of the word.

    “Queer” used to mean strange and “Gay” meant happy.. Until they became slurs.

    Indeed. The same process has played out multiple times in countries all over the world. The “useful idiots” are some of the first to be killed once the communists take full control.

    A default judgment is equivalent to a favorable verdict after trial. Why sue someone if you are not intent on winning that case??? Questions must be asked and answered; this one smells to high heaven. Since the dismissal is “without prejudice”, the government can bring the action again, any time up until the statute of limitations expires.

    Can you imagine if the KKK did this at a polling place, the Bush AG took a default judgment and then dismissed the case???? There would be 3 inch high headlines in every newspaper, and the lead story on every msm outlet in the Country. I am sick TO HERE of these bullsh*t double standards.
