JOURNO: Obviously you don't believe in killing census workers.
ARMEY: Umm, not in that context, no sir. No, no.
JOURNO: Okay, in what context?
ARMEY: Just for the sake of this interview, no context. I don't believe in that. There are too many other government forces out here that are much more powerful that I as a man would focus on. I wouldn't focus on the census workers, sir, I'd focus on the police.

The original Black Panthers was a CIA project to stir up racial drama between blacks and whites.
It was a set up to lure blacks who were feeling oppressed to look and act bad for the T.V.
With this New black panther party crap they are stiring up more drama so they can get the race war started. It's a set up like the original Black Panthers.

KELLY: What was the response? I mean, that's an extraordinary story.
ADAMS: I don't know. I wasn't there.

What about the interview where he openly says they should 'kill white babies'
I guess that's no big deal too

There is an investigation going on now, so clearly the CRC thought there was something not right about dropping such a clear cut voter intimidation case. How do you explain the dropping of a case that had witnesses, video tape and defendants who didn't even show to court?
Of course, just like the MSM, you use the guy's politics to smear him. From everything I've read he was a highly respected guy who just resigned from an outstanding career. I guess we'll have to see what the investigation turns up, but I still don't see how you can defend the DOJ's decision regarding this incident.
EDIT: Its also suspect to me that you dismiss Obama's own racist statements stretching from his books, to his campaign. If a white guy had said some of the things he did, you would have no trouble believing this. In fact, if it were white KKK members involved and a Bush DOJ dropped the case, I have a hard time believing you would be so skeptical.

It looks like Hans von Spakovsky, an old TPM favorite, is back in business. The former Justice Department official, whose nomination to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) was thwarted when Democrats objected to his long record of support for restrictions on voting rights, has been hired as a "consultant and temporary full-time employee" at the ostensibly bi-partisan U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (USCCR) the agency confirmed to TPMmuckraker.
If Spakovsky's history of backing efforts to make voting more difficult strikes you as a poor fit with the Commission's mission of defending voter rights, consider that of the eight current commissioners at the agency, only two are registered Democrats, a politicization that the New York Times' Charlie Savage brought to light last year.
Among Spakovsky's duties will be overseeing the USCCR's report on the Justice Department's monitoring of the 2008 presidential elections, a source inside the USCCR told TPMmuckraker.
Spakovsky's hiring is at the request of Commissioner Todd Gaziano, who works for the conservative Heritage Foundation on FEC issues and has defended Spakovsky in the press before. According to a federal government source, Gaziano has recommended Spakovsky at the government's highest payscale -- which would work out to about $124,010 annually if Spakovsky was to stay for an entire year.
And it seems that Gaziano may not have been exactly excited to make his selection of Spakovsky public knowledge. At a July 28th meeting (pdf) where the commissioners approved the hiring of the "special assistants," the new hires identities were kept confidential. According to the transcript of the meeting, when one of the commissioners asked for more information on the identity of who was being hired, the question was never answered.
For generations, civics students have learned that the Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war. Yesterday, the man who built the legal underpinnings of the Bush administration's terrorism strategy revised the curriculum.
John Yoo, the former Justice Department official whose writings justified the administration's treatment of military prisoners and the National Security Agency eavesdropping program, announced that Congress's warmaking powers are just a figment of the "popular imagination."
"Almost all the prominent scholars who believe that Congress should play a prominent role in foreign policy look to the 'declare war' clause as the source of Congress's power," Yoo said, 10 minutes into his talk at the Heritage Foundation. "They appeal to a very common-sense reading of the declare-war clause," he continued, and "I think in the popular imagination, declaring war does seem to equate with making war or starting war."
...
Todd F. Graziano, a legal specialist at the conservative think tank, rose to ask if Yoo had not gone far enough in circumscribing Congress's authority.

He attended Rev. Jeremiah Wrights racist white man hating church for 20 years and and it was ignored by the voters. All the self hating white people that voted for Obama ignored the fact that we was a member of a racist church and accepted Obama lies that he never realized that Rev. Wright preached hatred of the white man. What a bunch of dummies. You all get what you deserve.
