Holder’s racial myopia: A pro-panther bias?

Attorney General Eric Holder’s “my people” comment has proven that, like his boss, he is incompetent for the position he holds (“My People Reject the Race Card,” Michelle Malkin, PostOpinion, March 4).

Where is the outrage from the left? Are they silent because they agree with his comment?

The left loves to accuse people of racism whenever it suits their agenda, but their words and actions prove that they are the worst offenders.

Could you just imagine the outrage if then-Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice had used that phrase? They’d be calling for her firing and the impeachment of her boss.

I love Michelle Malkin. She covers any topic with wit, charm and intelligence. As a minority herself, she speaks with authority on the subjects of civil rights and diversity.

She doesn’t call herself anything but American. Unlike our president and attorney general, she considers a crime a crime — no matter the race, religion or sex of the perpetrator.

Holder has belittled the people of Philadelphia who were intimidated by members of the New Black Panther Party.

He compares their experience, unfavorably, with that of the civil-rights pioneers who risked their lives to make things easier for people like Holder.

Holder needs to resign. He could claim ignorance and incompetence, and no one would doubt him.

First Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton praises Al Jazeera, the Arab propaganda rag.

Then Jesse Jackson and his ilk oppose Rep. Peter King, who is trying to prevent home-grown terrorist attacks, and Holder references “my people.”

Is there one patriot on the left?

Here’s an assignment for the above-mentioned names: Every morning, you must sing “God Bless America.” Try it; it just might feel good.

Holder must be shown the exit door at the Department of Justice.

His response to questions as to why he refused to pursue the New Black Panther voter-intimidation case further demonstrates his racism.

Ten years after 9/11, there still is no trial planned for Khalid Sheik Muhammed. Instead, Obama and Holder prefer to go after Gov. Jan Brewer, who is doing the job they refuse to do.

This Sept. 11, as we remember those who died, we deserve a president and an attorney general who fight for, not against, American citizens.
