NCTexan Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Politico: AME church rips vote on Eric Holder The African Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the most prominent black denominations in the country, is blasting the House vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress last week, comparing the move to the “evil strategies employed following the Reconstruction era.” In a resolution adopted last week and posted on AME’s website on Tuesday, according to The Wall Street Journal, the AME expressed its “profound disagreement” with the contempt vote and also suggested that Holder had been unfairly targeted for his effort to curtail voter suppression laws. “Those who have held Attorney General Holder, America’s first African-American attorney general, in contempt have been consistently and systematically disrespectful of the attorney general and of President Barack Obama,” the resolution read. “The attack against Attorney General Holder comes after his stated intent to determine whether recent laws passed to combat non-existent voter fraud are actually efforts at voter suppression that violate the Voting Rights Act.” =========================================== What a shame the such a large percentage of the Black "community" and leadership have chosen to view every event of today strictly on the basis of their race. I had hoped that we'd gotten past the "OJ Syndrome". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicnreason Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 An excellent tactic from Mr. Alinski. When you've been beaten in legal/moral or popular opposition.....play the race card! And keep on playing it until it no longer works. Keep the enemy on the defensive....and once there, never interup them when they are making a mistake. One would think that after 65 years of this tactic, the right would get it. Unfortunately, they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 So the AME church doesn't have a problem with brown people being killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 @NCTexan One wonders if the AG were say Hispanic or Asian would the AME put out this kind of defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
