Based on the evidence, truer words could not have been spoken when Wisconsin State Senator Glenn Rothman, opposite Democratic State Rep. Cory Mason, said that many of the protesters at the Capitol building are 'slobs.' He even repeated it more than once. Mason did his best to deny it but doing so was in vain. The facts are that the majority of the people inside the Capitol don't even know why they're there and were bused in from out of town.

This photo needs to be sent to Rep. Mason. It speaks volumes on many levels, including the police apparently not having a problem with it.
Here, you are urged and encouraged to run your mouths about something important.

Eric Holder's DOMA Problem
This is my biggest problem with Eric Holder's argument for not defending the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) on grounds that it isn't Constitutional. The argument that DOMA is unconstitutional is an extremely valid one; the argument that the definition of marriage should be left to the states is an extremely valid one. At its essence, that is the argument made by Holder and Obama. The problem is it is beyond disingenuous for this administration to seize the mantle of the Constitution in any of its arguments.
For example, just this week, Eric Holder said that prosecuting the Black Panthers case 'demeans' his 'people' because it apparently pales in comparison to what blacks have suffered in the past. There's a problem with that and it's the Fifteenth Amendment, which says the following:

Disgraceful.
For example, just this week, Eric Holder said that prosecuting the Black Panthers case 'demeans' his 'people' because it apparently pales in comparison to what blacks have suffered in the past. There's a problem with that and it's the Fifteenth Amendment, which says the following:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.Tack onto that the fact that despite video evidence that Planned Parenthood was enabling the furtherance of underage sex trafficking, Holder announced that he will not prosecute despite the group being federally funded.
Via TPM:
Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that the FBI has declined to prosecute in connection with a series of incidents where a man entered Planned Parenthood and claimed to be a pimp operating a sex trafficking ring. Those incidents were later revealed to be part of a video "sting" by the anti-abortion group LiveAction.So the Department of Justice will not investigate crimes against children perpetrated by an organization that receives federal funds and it will not enforce the Fifteenth Amendment but it will argue that DOMA is unconstitutional.
"It is my understanding that the FBI actually has looked at that matter" and "prosecution was declined in that matter," Holder's commented in a hearing of the House Appropriations subcommittee.
Disgraceful.
Video: Drum Circle Dance in Wisconsin Capitol
This must be how the union protesters re-charge their batteries. At nearly 2am, this highly intelligent individual decided he would break out his dance moves inside the Wisconsin Capitol building as some guy with no rhythm attempted to make music with some sort of bongo knock-off. What's important to note here - in addition the fact this guy can't dance - is that many of these people are protesting something they can't even explain. I mean, what more evidence do you need?

Eric Holder's Shocking Statement on Black Panthers Case
It's a scandal that started on election day, 2008 and it is still percolating with a rolling boil. It is also potentially the most overtly egregious case or racism at the highest levels of government. Two Department of Justice Attorneys defied orders not to comply with subpoenas to testify in front of the civil rights commission - one had to resign before doing so. The testimony under oath of those two attorneys - J. Christian Adams and Christopher Coates - called into question the testimony of Associate Attorney General Thomas Perez who quite possibly lied under oath.
Now we have Attorney General Eric Holder making an extremely bizarre and telling statement at a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing about how he views the entire episode. It is clearly a controversy he wish would go away because of all the scandals involving this administration, this one seems to have multiple smoking guns.
VIa POLITICO:
That's simply ridiculous and indicates bias that should force Holder to resign.

It is clearly a controversy he wish would go away because of all the scandals involving this administration, this one seems to have multiple smoking guns.
VIa POLITICO:
The Attorney General seemed to take personal offense at a comment Culberson read in which former Democratic activist Bartle Bull called the incident the most serious act of voter intimidation he had witnessed in his career.This would seem to indicate that Adams and Coates were telling the truth. The problem here is that the testimony of those attorneys necessarily pointed to the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice directing employees not to bring voting rights cases against minority defendants. That is exactly what happened with the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) and Holder's argument seems to be that what the NBPP did was wrong, it just wasn't wrong enough.
"Think about that," Holder said. "When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, and to compare what people were subjected to there to what happened in Philadelphia—which was inappropriate, certainly that…to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line, who risked all, for my people," said Holder, who is black.
Holder noted that his late sister-in-law, Vivian Malone Jones, helped integrate the University of Alabama.
"To compare that kind of courage, that kind of action, and to say that the Black Panther incident wrong thought it might be somehow is greater in magnitude or is of greater concern to us, historically, I think just flies in the face of history and the facts.," Holder said with evident exasperation.
That's simply ridiculous and indicates bias that should force Holder to resign.
