"The United States of America has a black President whose chief law enforcement officer, Attorney General Eric Holder, is also black. They have a lot of political power. So how are they using it? Well, one way is to assert to black audiences that voter ID laws are really attempts to disenfranchise black Americans. And liberals think Donald Trump's birther fantasies are offensive?"

"That's right. The two most powerful men in America are black, two of the last three Secretaries of State were black, numerous corporate CEOs and other executives are black, and minorities of many races now win state-wide elections in states that belonged to the Confederacy, but the AG implies that Jim Crow is on the cusp of a comeback.

It's demeaning to have to dignify this argument with facts, but here goes. Voter ID laws have been found by the courts not to be an undue burden under the Voting Rights Act and the Constitution. The landmark Supreme Court opinion, upholding an Indiana law in 2008, was written for a six-member majority by that noted right-winger, John Paul Stevens."

"Mr. Holder's Council of Black Churches address is merely the latest of his election-year moves that charge racial discrimination of one kind or another. These include voting-rights lawsuits to block voter ID laws in Texas and South Carolina, intervention in immigration cases in Arizona, and various housing and lending discrimination suits. Whatever the legal merits of these cases, their sudden proliferation in an election year suggests a political motivation.

The courts will eventually expose much of this as meritless, but it's a shame the media won't call Mr. Holder on this strategy before the election. Imagine the uproar if a Republican AG pursued a similar strategy. It's worse than a shame that America's first black Attorney General is using his considerable power to inflame racial antagonism"

Well, lets see. Honest Americans vote once. The crooked vote several times. The crooked are paid to vote multiple times. Dead people vote in ALL elections, yes dead people.
So blacks are worried they won't get to vote over an ID. Please, talk about a SORRY excuse. No wonder blacks are labelled as lazy and ignorant. Or is it anti-American?
Now America can understand why a black, muslim, lawyer is President.
Still whinning about slavery and it is getting OLD. For once in your lives do the right thing and quit being so anti-everything.
Can't do the right thing says alot about blacks.
Get a friggin ID and quit your friggin whinning!!!!

Rest assured that I will not continue to spread incorrect information, however, the FACT remains that members of ACORN did try to include fraudulent voter registrations including that of Paul Newman. It's good that they were caught.
I have no wish to see legitimate voters suppressed from going to the polls but I do want our elections kept honest and those who are not legally eligible to vote stopped from voting.
Do you not want our elections kept honest?
This FOX News myth has been debunked so many times it is amazing that anybody is still peddling it.

Do you know who reported that ACORN had collected ineligible names? ACORN. Like many groups involved in voter registration they enlisted people to stand in front of supermarkets and train stations getting people to fill out registration forms. These people were paid based on how many people they got to register. Of the 13,000 canvasses involved a few apparently filled in fake names to get paid. This happens in virtually all large registration efforts regardless of the organizer.

When the registration forms were reviewed ACORN found some dubious names and notified the authorities themselves. End of story.

For some reason FOX News always leaves that part of the story out.

It's not surprising a hate group would write a FALSE headline and promote a 'highly edited 'investigative report' video that doesn't support the headline.
Since the county sheriff is a Republicon, one would assume he'd being investigating the supposed illegally registered voters....especially since there's an election coming up.
The Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center have accused ALIPAC of having ties to white supremacists and the like. http://www.adl.org/main_Extremism/White+Supre...
I've seen no proof that the headline is FALSE. I don't care who ALIPAC is associated with, I don't buy into to their extremist ideas. I don't buy into any extremists from either side of the isle and certainly not White Supremacists, Black Panthers, Brown Berets, etc.
I am against illegal immigration and I want to see our immigration laws enforced and our borders and ports of entry secured. There is nothing extreme about that. I also want to see our elections done legally.

That does not change the fact that Acorn employees filled out fraudulent voter registration forms no matter who reported it.

I can' help what you don't see.

"I also want to see our elections done legally." They are. No one has demonstrated they ain't. If they weren't you'd think the 1000's of Republicon County Clerks. sheriffs, Attorneys Generals, District Attorneys, ect would be prosecuting at least as many offenders as there are bank robberies. Or at least a couple of hundred illegal voters each cycle.

And that fact is irrelevant BULLSH!T....ACORN was the victim of embezzlers.

BTW: not a SINGLE incidence of a voter being fraudulently registered by ACORN and subsequently ever casting a vote....ever...not one... nowhere...ever.

Various Republicon operatives did the same thing. http://www.bradblog.com/... http://www.bradblog.com/...

Wow, you spend quite a bit of time on Topix guarding the voting rights of the oppressed...lol

Personally I can't wait until austerity measures get you democrats out of the basement, off the computer and into some sort of gainful employment....or the dumpster.

I suppose don't really care just so long as you lot take a bit of a break from spamming your communist nonsense and running your astroturf propaganda projects 24/7.

The SPLC has been discredited as a money making smear outfit targeting White Americans.

The ADL has a history of illegal spying on US citizens.

I dont give either of these organizations any credibility.

The ADL and the SPLC are anti-white organizations so I'm not surprised that you are quoting them.
The ADL encourages illegal immigration and diversity in the U.S. but fights to keep apartheid and segregation legal in Israel. They are nothing but anti-white hypocrites.
The SPLC thinks you are a domestic terrorist simply for wanting the borders to be secured.
So neither of those groups have any credibility with me.
Any organization that's sole purpose is to eradicate ideological trash like you has my support.

I want everyone to take a good look at PR's post. Notice how this fool takes white people to task for their racism but he keeps his damn mouth shut about Black Panthers and MS-13.

This is part of the problem. Liberal whites never take blacks or hispanics to task for their racism but they are quick to jump on anything they perceive to be racism from other whites. This must end. For far too long, we have allowed liberal or black loving whites to call us names and make us ashamed of who we are. I say turn the tables on traitors like these and make them feel ashamed for betraying their own race and people.

To me, it doesn't get any lower than that.
