    Obama doesn't know the difference between black and white, much less right and wrong. If it is black it is wonderful. Look at how he was raised and educated and it is fairly clear. Look at his past, the people he hung out with, ate dinner with and went to church wth. Not exactly a cross section of American thinking.

    A federal court in Washington, DC, held today that political appointees appointed by President Obama did interfere with the Department of Justice’s prosecution of the New Black Panther Party.


    Read much? Or are your reading skills the same as your well-demonstrated MATH problems?


    Obama’s DOJ had claimed Judicial Watch was not entitled to attorney’s fees since “none of the records produced in this litigation evidenced any political interference whatsoever in” how the DOJ handled the New Black Panther Party case. But United States District Court Judge Reggie Walton disagreed. Citing a “series of emails” between Obama political appointees and career Justice lawyers, Walton writes: "The documents reveal that political appointees within DOJ were conferring about the status and resolution of the New Black Panther Party case in the days preceding the DOJ’s dismissal of claims in that case, which would appear to contradict Assistant Attorney General Perez’s testimony that political leadership was not involved in that decision. Surely the public has an interest in documents that cast doubt on the accuracy of government officials’ representations regarding the possible politicization of agency decision-making." … "In sum, the Court concludes that three of the four fee entitlement factors weigh in favor of awarding fees to Judicial Watch. Therefore, Judicial Watch is both eligible and entitled to fees and costs, and the Court must now consider the reasonableness of Judicial Watch’s requested award."

    Wait, so am I reading this right? The Judge didn't know What exactly was in the emails, but the appearance of such emails constituted interference? Or did the Judge actually get to see the emails...?

    I'm not disputing the blogs made that claim, the judge said nothing of the sort however.

    I wonder.

    The deciding vote of the moderates and undecided's gave us McCain and Obama in 2008 and Romney and Obama in 2012.

    I don't think the moderates and undecided's know what the (*)(*)(*)(*) they are doing.

    And this story will get zero attention from the pro Obama lib news media that most people get their news from.

    Hot potato. Race card problems. Who wants to be the first one to play it? If FOX reports this story, what would be your first response? Anyone care to guess how Mello would react to such a story? If the MSM reported it it would fly in the face of re-electing the dream boy. Yep, hot potato. News outlets are leaving it to the internet for now watching to see if it ignites. So, why would it be that Mello and that other guy keep making any attempt at all to quash this story? If they can put the fire out on the internet before it goes global, that would be a strategy.

    So the Black Panthers are accused of voter suppression? This goes on all the time in many different forms. The only reason this is news is because of the words B L A C K P A N T H E R S. If it was "a bunch a black guys that look scary", it doesnt have the same ring to it

    A bit of an overstatement, which is what conservatives do best. The only time I think about race is when conservatives tell me I'm thinking about race

    Every lib who posts on this board lives in Lake Woebegone.

    According to them they are never typical or average but are always the exception to the rule.

    All I see is an article from an admittedly conservatively biased source that gives no citations whatsoever except to a blog. I have no reason to believe that they didn't simply fabricate the entire article.

    I can't even find any source for the judge's quote. They all point back to the Examiner article.

    exactly, not even judicial watch had it on their website....his quotes only say political appointees did email about the matter, nothing about interfering (not that I/he ruled that out)

    So if the pro Obama lib news media ignores the story because it makes their president look bad then it didn't happen?

    Are you blind? Here's what the judge said:

    Conferring is not interfering, no idea why you think that contradicts what I said

    That's what it means. When someone who has no say whatsoever in a case butts in, it's called interfering.

    why ONLY the examiner?

    because they are an admittedly biased source that has no record of being the only one to report on something this big to conservatives

    I can remember when for a year the mainstream news media didn't even know that the Tea Party existed.

    The story make Obama look bad and that is not on the agenda of the pro Obama news media.
