Attorney General Eric Holder Panders To Muslim Groups
Hat tip to Michelle for staying on this story. Attorney General Eric Holder flew to Detroit last night to pander to Muslim groups and assure them that the DOJ is committed to upholding their rights. He promised their would be no “profiling” of Arab Americans in light of the Fort Hood shooting, etc.
Reaching out to Arab Americans and Muslims, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in a Detroit speech Thursday night that their full rights must be protected as the country battles security threats.
“This is not blind adherence to political correctness,” Holder told hundreds at the Detroit Marriott in the Renaissance Center. “It is devotion to our founding documents.”
He said that it’s vital that all ethnic and religious groups in America be treated equally. He also said racial profiling was bad policy that breeds mistrust and division.
“For the last nine months, I’ve heard from Muslim and Arab Americans who feel uneasy about their relationship with their government, who feel isolated and discriminated against by law enforcement,” Holder said. “It is inconsistent with what America is all about.”
…Holder spoke at the banquet of Advocates and Leaders for Police and Community Trust, which consists of about 100 minority groups and law enforcement officials in metro Detroit.
I’ll tell you what “breeds mistrust and division”, it’s having to worry if the Muslim soldier next you secretly wants to kill you.
Moreover, I don’t really give a damn if Muslims feel “uneasy” about their relationship with their government. I feel “uneasy” about them.
Muslim “Americans” have given us no reason to trust them. Their condemnation of Islamic terror has been consistently tepid ever since 9/11, and has remained so even after a U.S. soldier gunned down more than 50 people in the name of their God.
The notion that we shouldn’t “profile” is absurd. If you’re an Arab and you’re in this country you should get a little extra scrutiny. If it were the Irish who were trying to kill us or the Vietnamese I would feel exactly the same way.
It gives me no pleasure to feel this way, but lives are at stake and it’s important that we stop with the BS and be honest about what is going on.
When I see Muslim Americans take to the streets and protest the atrocities committed around the world in the name of their religion, then I may feel differently.
Unfortunately, it’s unlikely anything like that will ever happen. See, I’ve actually read the Koran and believe it or not the terrorists are right about what it says. Which is why I don’t buy into the premise that Islam is a “religion of peace.”
I know I’ll get a torrent of outraged emails calling me a racist and bigot and all the rest, and that’s absolutely fine. I stand by every word.

Rep. Pete King Goes Nuclear On Eric Holder
Rep. Peter King had some choice words for Attorney General Eric Holder after learning the leftist AG was appointing a special prosecutor to investigate CIA.
"It’s bulls***. It’s disgraceful. You wonder which side they’re on," he said of the attorney general’s move, which he described as a "declaration of war against the CIA, and against common sense."
"It’s a total breach of faith, and either the president is intentionally caving to the left wing of his party or he’s lost control of his administration," said King, the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Homeland Security and a member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence.
"You’re talking about threatening to kill a guy, threatening to attack his family, threatening to use an electric drill on him — but never doing it," King said. "You have that on the one hand — and on the other you have the [interrogator's] attempt to prevent thousands of Americans from being killed…"
"When Holder was talking about being ’shocked’ [before the report's release], I thought they were going to have cutting guys’ fingers off or something — or that they actually used the power drill," he said.
King is absolutely right. What I can’t believe is that republicans ever allowed a scumbag like Holder to be confirmed. If there were ever a nominee to filibuster — Eric Holder was it.
Holder has always been sympathetic to terrorists. He’s a hardcore leftists ideologue with a very deep resentment of his own country. We’re in the middle of a two wars and Holder spends his time looking for ways to release terrorists and to prosecute CIA.
Eric Holder is one of the most despicable cretins to ever hold a government job. He should have been disbarred after his shenanigans under Clinton. He’s not fit to be a dog catcher.
Out of all the radicals Obama has installed in the government, Eric Holder is the one I’ve been most concerned about from day one. He’s the most dangerous Attorney General in United States history.

Michelle Malkin: The U.S. Department Of Injustice
Michelle Malkin’s syndicated column today looks at the corrupt and politicized Justice Department under Attorney General Eric Holder.
It’s a great piece that everyone should read.

What A REAL Politicized Justice Department Looks Like
Remember when the left was constantly howling about Bush politicizing the Justice Department? Bush exercised his constitutional authority to fire U.S. Attorney’s and the left acted as if he had committed high treason.
Ironically, it’s the Obama administration that has ended up politicizing the Justice Department.
This from NRO:
Never a dull moment with the Justice Department of Eric Holder, aka "the right man at the right time to protect our citizens in the critical years ahead."
In fact, it would be more accurate to say he’s the right man at the right time to protect our non-citizens in the critical years ahead. Unbelievably (or, perhaps, entirely too believably), Holder has told Georgia that it may no longer verify identification in order to ensure that voting is done only by citizens eligible to vote.
That outrage combined with the bizarre dismissal of the voter intimidation case against the Black Panther’s, and you begin to see the leftist politics at work here.
Holder is an unethical far-left cretin who shouldn’t be allowed to practice law in any capacity much less serve in government.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Eric Holder is the most dangerous Attorney General in American history. If the republicans were going to filibuster an Obama nominee it should have been Eric Holder.

Holder Says He Won’t Release Terrorists Into U.S.
Attorney General Eric Holder told members of Congress today that the Obama administration has no intention of releasing terrorists on American soil.
However, you have to study Holder’s words carefully:
“We don’t have any plans to release terrorists,” Holder testified at a Senate hearing on the administration’s budget for the Justice Department.
But he also said some of the detainees at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, facility will be let go as the administration believes some held there are not terrorists.
…Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., pressed Holder to say whether he believed he had the authority to release someone with terrorist training into the United States. The attorney general did not directly answer Shelby’s question, but said the government doesn’t have any plans to release terrorists.
“With regard to those who you would describe as terrorists, we would not bring them into this country and release them, anyone we would consider to be a terrorist,” Holder said.
What he means is they won’t release anyone they consider a terrorist. However, even those who’ve yet to commit a terrorist act still cannot legally be released on American soil.
Federal law prohibits anyone who has received terrorist training from entering the country.
Eric Holder has a long and distinguished history of releasing terrorists so I’ll bet you money he disregards federal law and tries to release those Chinese Muslims right here in America.
Those Chinese Uigers were trained at Bin Laden training camps in Afghanistan and were hold up in Tora Bora when they were captured.
Just because they haven’t yet committed a terrorist act doesn’t mean they’re not just as dangerous as any Islamic radicals.
Any DOJ lawyer who writes a legal opinion allowing for the release of trained terrorists into the U.S. should be prosecuted by the next administration — or at the very least disbarred.

Gitmo Terrorists May Be Released In U.S.
Far left Pinko Attorney General Eric Holder says he may release some Gitmo detainees in America.
Instead of dismantling everything that has kept us safe for the last 8 years piece by piece, Holder should just call a press conference and announce to the world that we surrender.
Then we can get the humiliation over with all at once instead of a little bit every week.
I said from the beginning that if republicans were going to filibuster an Obama nominee, it should have been Eric Holder. It’s absolutely horrifying to think the Justice Department is in the hands of a radical leftist.
His first priority is not keeping America safe, but rather to push forward a radical leftist agenda.
NYT: Eric Holder Deeply Involved In Marc Rich Pardon
Now that Barack Obama is elected, it looks like the New York Times is at least temporarily doing some real reporting.
The Times has discovered that attorney general nominee Eric Holder was more deeply involved with the disgraceful pardon of Marc Rich than his buddies were willing to admit.
If you’ve watched Hannity & Colmes at all since Obama was elected you already know everything in this article, but if you’re a Fox News hater then you should probably read the piece.
Basically, Eric Holder is an unethical hack who went around the DOJ and gave the word to Clinton’s inner circle that he was “neutral leaning toward favorable” on the Rich pardon. The Times takes you through the entire process by which Holder became involved with the Rich pardon to begin with.
Frankly, out of all Obama’s appointments so far it’s Eric Holder that gives me the greatest concern. The Marc Rich pardon was one of a series of bitch moves committed by Holder while he was 2nd in command at DOJ under Clinton.
Holder is the weak link in Obama’s national security team. Holder will likely cower at the feet of the ACLU and allow civil liberties to trump national security. However, if Holder is Obama’s big gift to the far left nuts then I guess it could have been worse.
