So Emotional: Holder, Obama Address Al Sharpton's National Action Network, Both Whining About The Treatment That High Officers of Government Have Received at the Hands of the Political Opposition
— Ace

It's not politics, it's identity and grievance related thereto. Just pure tribalism.

Both men -- the commander in chief of the armed forces, and the number one law enforcement official in the country -- complained, essentially, of the disrespect they've had to endure, essentially pitching a grievance of Holding High Political Office While Black.

First came Holder:

Â“IÂ’m pleased to note that the last five years have been defined by significant strides and by lasting reforms,Â” said Holder at the conference of black activists, before improvising Â“even in the face, even in the face, of unprecedented, unwarranted, ugly, and divisive adversity.Â”
Â“If you donÂ’t believe that, if you look at the way, forget about me, forget about me, if you look at the way the attorney general of the United States was treated yesterday by a House Committee, it had nothing to do with me, forget that, what attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?Â”

None, Eric. None at all.

Alberto Gonzales just emailed me to say, "I can't think of a one."

Former White House Counsel Harriet Miers says she can't believe that Congress would hold a high legal official of the opposite party in contempt.

Message, in case anyone missed it: When they disrespect me, they're really disrespecting you.

I wouldn't have mentioned the Holder story except that Barack Obama confirmed the pattern by offering his own racial-solidarity dog whistle.

Â“And just to be clear, I know where my birth certificate is, but a lot of people donÂ’t,Â” Obama added, to laughter from the crowd. Â“I think itÂ’s still up on a website somewhere.Â”
Â“Do you remember that? That was crazyÂ” he remarked, clearly straying from his prepared speech. Â“That was some crazy stuff. I havenÂ’t thought about that in a while.Â”

I imagine you haven't thought about that in a while -- because no one's talked about that in a year and a half, even on MSNBC.

Both men invert the usual relationship between politician and constituent. Usually the politician promises to defend the constituent against unfair attacks from hostile cohorts.

Here, instead, both men call upon their constituents to protect them from hostile cohorts.

It's a strange and sad thing, that this is what America is now. Scandal-plagued celebrities have always begged their fans for uplift, support, and sympathy in their plights.

But now those scandal-plagued celebrities are the President of the United States and the Attorney General of the United States.

Incidentally, given the recent reports about Al Sharpton -- was the Birth Certificate thing really the most interesting and timely news Obama could have discussed?

14 I think the Presidents who were shot might have had something to say about how Obama was treated, too. Basically, for the left, reality is something that either serves them or doesn't exist. That's one reason they sound so kookoobananas to us, because we're comparing their description of what happened to *what actually happened*, and this is itself, apparently, a form or racism. Or a sort of weasel, I always get those confused.

18 Until Republicans, conservatives, and frankly white Americans respond by calling Holder a racist none of this will change. Holder's argument is racist. He basically assumes all white people are racist who are critical of him and Obama and that white people are not allowed to be critical of him or Obama. That is racist, and until people who are white stand up to this and call them racist, especially Republicans who happen to be white, none of this will change. You have to stand up to racist bullies, no matter their skin color or political ideology. If someone is a bigoted against you, you should stand up for yourself. That includes whites who are discriminated against by Eric Holder and Obama.

Someday his rickety left pigeon-toe will trip him up....hopefully while prancing down Air Force One's stairs with his flappin' wrists, and I will preserve the video forevermore (as I have the youtube of the Queen telling his Baroqueness to "stand down").

He is a pompous, prancing, prat of a pretender Prez. And a pitiful petunia specimen of manhood on his girl bike in his man jeans, which is the image that comes to mind when I see a photo of Putin. I also enjoy the fly on his lip, but that is another beezlebug. xoxo

Nah, must be racism.

That Holder, who called the American public cowards on race relations, whips out the Race Card every time he is criticized, is morally disgusting (much like he himself is)

99 Holder looks like a sloth. Testifying before these committees is part of the job. Always has been. And he was being asked about why he has not complied with their request for records. This is like some person who's legally owed you something for over a year whining that it's because they're [fill in the minority/oppressed group membership].

108 Stocks down? It's not the falling stocks that is the problem. Look how high they were, they need to come down. It's the falling stock brokers and bankers that's the problem. When you have bankers jumping off of tall buildings.. . . well I mean more than one....I mean.. Never mind.

110 Is it any wonder Choom Boy was praisin' Elbie Jay to the skies and giving him credit for the Miracle of President Historic FirstÂ© and, of course, his very own AG of color?

If not for Landslide Lyndon and his forcing Affirmative Action on the country, neither the Chicago Jesus or Hatin' Holder would have ANY gainful employment, much less the comfy, no-effort positions they now enjoy.

So, once again: fuck you, Johnson.

Their whining and race mongering aside - what is even worse to me is the event where they made these remarks. Sharpton's Action Network. What the hell kind of shake-down organization is that?

Sharpton - Tawana Brawley debacle. All lies & ruined reputations except for Sharpton apparently.

Freddie's Fashion Mart - Crown Heights: Body Count

FBI Rat: Was facing his own charges for drugs if he didn't cooperate with the FBI.

and this mope's event is where the CIC and AG speak at?

118 All this talk from Reid about Republicans not paying taxes.

Meanwhile, Holder and Obama are addressing a group that owes $2 million in back taxes.

Sharpton's group still uses the motto "No Justice, No Peace".

It's probably on the banner Holder and Obama were standing in front of.

Great motto for an organizations whose founder was involved in with Tawana Brawley, the Crown Heights Riot, Freddie's Fashion Mart.

120 I think it would be fun to invent questions the kids could ask their parents (with no disrespect to the kids who didn't choose their parents, and no doubt Claire and Jay have some lovely qualities as parents). It could be done as if they were the conservative kid in the program that had Michael J. Fox in it.

124 AT this point. I'm okay with them blaming everything on Racism....because it is turning more people against them. Because... it simply has nothing to do with race if your insurance is cancelled or if you can't keep your doctor. And when people who supported Obama get called racist along with the rest of us, that has to make them pause and consider that just maybe somebody is lying.

125 What Attorney General went to jail? One of them did. Many of them have been man enough to step down... forced to resign. Actually, the fact that one Attorney General went to jail makes me hopeful. And What President was forced to resign for far less than what Obama has done? These guys are treated like Royalty compared to how other AGs and PResidents have been treated. LIttle Princesses. If they can't take the heat, they need to get out of the kitchen.

129 Nobody's mentioned this quote from The Great Uniter yet: "The stark, simple truth is this: The right to vote is threatened today in a way that it has not been since the Voting Rights Act became law nearly five decades ago..." Because, by Dem-Prog-MSM logic, the ONLY reason to require voter ID is to disenfranchise black people. (Of course those same black people are expected to identify themselves to rent or buy a house or car, to contract for public utilities like power and water, to set up a checking account, to sign up for any sort of benefits, to buy alcohol, ... even to attend some of these political speeches!!!) Barky McPuffWeed and this WHOLE DAMN COHORT of Black-Grievance Extortionists should go die, and then go straight to Hell.
