Obama's attorney general pick is change of style, not substance

Obama AG Nominee Lynch: Voter ID Laws were Passed by Racist Southerners, Must be Stopped

In a speech given at Long Beach earlier this year, President Obama’s new nominee for Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, specifically called out voter ID laws as racist. The video was uncovered by Pundit Press.

The remarks came at the end of a long speech, explaining the examples that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela set for people.

Ms. Lynch then began talking about the inequities that she sees in the United States.

“There’s still more work to do,” Ms. Lynch explained. “People tell us the Dream is not realized because dreams never are. Mandela and King knew we had to continue working, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t tell you, that under this President and under this Attorney General, that the Department of Justice is committed to following through with those dreams.”

She continued, “50 years after the march on Washington, 50 years after the civil rights movement, we stand in this country at a time when we see people trying to take back so much of what Dr. King fought for. We stand in this country. People try and take over the State House and reverse the goals that have been made in voting in this country.

“But I’m proud to tell you that the Department of Justice has looked at these laws and looked at what’s happening in the Deep South, and in my home state of North Carolina has brought lawsuits against those voting rights changes that seek to limit out ability to stand up and exercise our rights as citizens. And those lawsuits will continue.”

Ms. Lynch was no doubt talking about the Justice Department’s lawsuit against North Carolina to stop their voter ID laws. Eric Holder even used the same kind of language as Lynch: “Allowing limits on voting rights that disproportionately exclude minority voters would be inconsistent with our ideals as a nation,” he explained.

It is plain to see that Ms. Lynch is arguing that people in the “Deep South” have passed these laws so that minority voters would be disenfranchised.

How in hades could a President appoint someone that could let divisive garbage like that spew from her mouth

So black people are so much less capable than whites of getting an id. Just that thought is racist in itself. Perpetuate the myth of the hobbled black. Only we can save you black people, vote for us

Word. VJ moderation is either blissfully ignorant of the slanted effects of their 'moderation', or they're not nearly as unbiased as they continually claim to be.

Unless a report is filed, I understand no action is likely. That may be why you see slanted effects in the moderation.

Mmm, that's not it. Even after a report, insults are often left to stand while moderators "mull it over", often for days.

Look around: those regularly hurling gratuitous insults are almost always on the left, so as a result, their insults are left up on the board. Result: bias in moderation, whether intended or not.

I'd love to say it's different, but it ain't.

They do right by you.
