| Attorney General Says His Critics May Be Partly Driven By Race |
| 2015-02-27 |
[POLITICO] Attorney General Eric Inaction JacksonHolder ... aka Mister Fast and Furious... plans to push, during his final weeks in office, a new standard of proof for civil-rights offenses, saying in an exit interview with POLITICO that such a change would make the federal government "a better backstop" against discrimination in cases like Ferguson and Trayvon Martin. In a lengthy discussion ranging from his own exposure to the civil rights movement of the '60s to today's controversies surrounding the shootings of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, Holder also acknowledged that he felt some of his own struggles with Republicans in Congress during his six years in office were driven partly by race. "There have been times when I thought that's at least a piece of it," Holder said, adding that "I think that the primary motivator has probably been political in nature ... [but] you can't let it deflect you from ... your eyes on the prize." "Eye on the prize".... yes indeed. That would be the day your sorry arse is finally removed from office and banished. |

| #4 Nope. You are just a partisan hack and a fuck up. Race has nothing to do with it. Now go away. |
