When Attorney General Eric Holder suddenly reversed course and had the DoJ dismiss the voter-intimidation case against two New Black Panther Party activists stemming from an incident in 2008 in Philadelphia, many questioned why the DoJ would quit a case it had already won. Attorneys within the DoJ wondered why the federal government had suddenly become disinterested in voter intimidation. Some, like Christian Adams, Asheesh Agarwal, and Mark Corallo have gone public with their outrage, and also wonder where the hell Congress has gone in its duty to oversee the executive branch and its enforcement of laws Congress passed. Does the Administration have a double standard?

In the church object and having a mentor of Jeremiah Wright. Who or don't work racist. Then you hear people I've heard people talk about this case. And and they pushing forward around and they talk about well. -- political considerations of racial politics nobody will come out and say -- this is a racist department. Indeed he's defending vicious racist thugs. That's what -- is that's what the other members of the new Black Panther Party are. That was what the old Black Panther Party was back in the sixties. -- comes back to that text message that we got. A little while ago. And that is. It is so bad here. Why do people come here. It -- hates every iota as he put it. Of crackers of white people. -- Wanna go back to places where hate the black men would be dominant. Of course there's an answer to that is now in there and the answer is this country is better. Then all the other countries but that doesn't mean we should throw the constitution out the window. I hope that. We can make a change in congress come November and that there's a full investigation into. This question if there are people in the Department of Justice who have deliberately. Toward it. This investigation and are pursuing a policy where they don't bring cases where. Black people. Have perpetrated the crime. Then there ought to be some serious consequences. There ought to be. It charges brought there ought to be impeachment brought whatever is required I don't know how line up this coach you gotta give a lot of credit to Christian managed. Who resigned from the department and gave his testimony to -- civil rights commission -- they subpoenaed him and the department of George just said don't. Honor the subpoena.

There I guarantee you and 45 years of this -- existence. Not only has never been an objection on behalf of a white victim. There hasn't even been the analysis but they -- this it -- and Don there's hostility toward even opening up that can of worms.

There's -- a text message that was commission announced by the way for the testimony. 120. Text messages -- the kkk. Would we be having this same conversation with the DOJ. I don't think so do you. -- 774694322. Is the phone number. -- your thoughts on this are welcome and you can come in from both sides sunlight because some. Places in this government and we do not discriminate. Sending your next on the program good afternoon.

Yes but why can't cheerleader coming it included. Ridiculing a black -- white woman on -- arm. And duplicate how how you rationalize it it stop letting it show up pro Obama -- but it was quite. Call it like other married a black band.

Yeah that's a good point I think we should ask mr. Shabazz how -- Iraq. -- sandy of course if we're looking from logic and high -- informed Shabazz. I think we may have a tough search -- But you're right it's nice to pulling on hypocrisy. As well thuggery and and you're actually right. So point well taken thanks for calling. 8774694322. These text message us numbers 68680. And the email address -- Nelson -- wrko.com. Go back to lines mark your next on the program hello.

But I doubt davis' mark calling for allowing them eight. I wanna say -- that that this issue with that new Black Panther Party. There's a bigger. It sure way to look at a lot of these successes. It. If we eat if -- realize that our answer to the problem looked -- that is our our our other founders answer. Is to have a nation of law. Know what -- law is supreme authority in other words it's not. Aristocracy that disappeared authorities not even that democracy where the majority of spring but it's it's it's a rule. Luck as we see this administration. Trying to create more and more and more law. But -- the same time being selective in what law they actually force. Whether it's you know illegal immigrants or whether it's this this kind of issue we haven't. I mean you're. Wave of -- tyranny if you it has. You know I don't know limited. Source of a lot that that they can selectively. Appeal to they can create. --

Yeah you're reaching former shuttle -- which I think is well taken mark and that is there's a dictatorial. Impulse here. When people start thinking that thing you know better than everybody else or they have the power and therefore they can rule everybody else. Then how you get it once more laws and selective law enforcement. Because some of the laws that have gone before of course are here to protect our rights. But when you have people island different agenda. Where an individual liberty. When freedom. When the entrepreneurial spirit are no longer the highest values. Then you get shall activity as to which -- you're going to enforce including ignoring some. There have been designed to protect those freedoms which go back of course years decades even centuries before. Sure you're actually right there which you have here is selective law enforcement. Because. In this particular case. Prosecute white folk she yes prosecute black folks know. And if you want to expand your power you're gonna have to pass moral launched. So the two go hand in hand in your point is well taken in what is important to emphasize here. Is the mentality. Of the people who are doing this or perpetrating this offense is really this crime against the American citizenry. This is a mentality. Of centralized authority. These are people who would rather have a shot -- be able to walk the streets. And be able to say he is is really vicious threats to white people. That they would prefer. Rather than protect individual liberty. And they would prefer to aggregate more power to themselves rather than have a dispersed. Amongst the community spread among. The citizens of America. They keep in mind that they are undermining the very fundamental fundamental essence of what made this country great. We still not enough that -- who hate to link the two subject. Should people still coming here because we still have a better country than most of the other -- which they only other countries in the world. But we're in danger of losing it and the crowd that's in power now is accelerating. That motion motion. That danger. For taking away. The essence of the greatness of America. 877469432. To the phone number Gail you're next on the program good afternoon.

I -- I thought Dick Morris black tonight on O'Reilly show and US saying that there you know why they dropped as they do it cities cases. The very -- drop I did it ever end up with affidavit from being intimidated voter. Although I was telling that the Indian chief should in this case speak you are that it David trick it did not know that apparently you are at it --

Well yeah although I know I saw that interview on mind I think Morris have been speaking in general terms but not only do they an affidavit but they have the video.

right now the busy area you'll be months.

They had the guy and the guy was actually engaging you wasn't compelling asylum in video taken from afar -- this was an open and shut case and as a man I. -- other one lead they the defendant didn't even show up they won by default. And they decided to drop that.

And -- just being indeed.

Really it's really just off an -- and more and more than that or deeper than that is what Christian Adams is saying is that there's a philosophy. That was just enunciated it wasn't just in here you know sometimes it's kind of a gentleman's agreement nobody talks about a -- to do things a certain way. But according to terms it's we stated the we're not gonna bring any actions against black people what kind of what kind of equality before the laws that what kind of post racial philosophy is that from an administration. -- was how well we passed that and transparent to boot.

Apparently these social just did -- getting is their policy.

Well he apparently it is bill thanks for calling. 8774694322. Is the phone number. The email address and Nelson wrko.com. And you can text us that 68680. Here's an interesting text message from -- treating it as usually have my -- and three or four computer screens in -- goes to boot and then have to listen to send me show. Some times we have to -- all. How the of the messages I think you mean they have a responsibility to let the listeners know that almost no black people think in this disgusting way. And I think that's a very good point but the reality is. That he is the obnoxious -- EG vicious. Thug who always gets the attention. And it is important to point out going to point out. That. These people represented a tiny tiny percentage. Of the population black or white. It's also important to note that in a way we play into their hands. When we bring attention to them vision we give them more publicity than they would ever get and I wouldn't do I know Fox News going to view this. I wouldn't do that. I'm the only reason I'm focusing on these because it has become a news story and there's not a -- miss -- and Charles testified and civil rights commission. Is indeed. Generating more subpoenas in this story seems to be burgeoning rather than going away social times you do have to put principle. Above the dangers of of developing this guy -- Fan base are falling even more -- text message where's Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson's condemnation of this page speech good. Point. How -- that wear the black leaders salami of the condemnation. Governor -- Deval Patrick. Says something about this. Sheila through limit that a federal level everybody should. Offer some some comment on this. Okay we are going to continue the program on the other side of a break in if you'd like to join national phone number 877. 4694322. And I just mentioned that -- implying a one more time it's coming up 6177793469. I'm Bonnie Nelson this is how we car program and -- Audio C area and for how -- let me mention again that. -- in this segment. Which -- blanket leaving guy getting apparently for a number of chumps but some of them are just too too racist to put on the air shall. Let you know guys set play fair and -- have some understanding in some limits and no subject is tough and there's an edge to it but. Within the -- pleas of good radio 6177793469. Is the -- like. And a couple of email messages asking mis spell my first name. Patricia Dunn before it's eight V. I pronounced on the and we also got to and he'd email. Message here that says the words spoken by the black culture person are of the same name as those of Farrakhan and Reverend Wright. They've been preaching this type of hate for years should construe they have. Text message -- transplant from Chicago. And I would referenced the pattern of political thuggery when mr. Obama's electoral career. Majority of his opponents launched. Not at the ballot box. But by being pressured to withdraw. Well. I don't know whether that's true or not bad. Chicago politics has a reputation. 8774694322. All Clinton won one last imminent digress for a moment and back to the lines. When we were talking. About illegal immigration in the whole question about Georgia Tech -- I neglected. To introduce Lucia a on this in an article. From the outlooks. While AZ central dot com rep rep from republic Mexico City bureau Asian central dot com and -- Arizona central dot com. Schools across Mexico aren't teaching students to dive to the floor and cover their heads. As urban gunfights between drug gangs multiply. In the country -- sure we're actually having shootout drills. Several Mexican states require shootout drills. They're incorporating them -- summer teacher training courses which begin next week that teaching the children how to survive. Gunfire attacks. So there won't be killed in the crossfire. I -- Monday. There have been 5775. Drug related murders in 2010. That's up from 2275. In all of 2007. This is. 5775. Thus far in 2010. It was less than half that in all of 2007. Okay back to this subject however that we're talking about. Shabazz. And like racism and stretched -- white people urging. Black men to kill white people and their babies -- quote. 8774694322. Roger your next on the program good afternoon.

There have been not. I live up in Maine. I was privy to. The up for auction rouge on the political loved. Election was going on. And saw the -- these two individuals on fox knows. And -- statement was. We've taken our virtual white people on. And you're going to be taking a -- much next. And obviously. That's what they feel.

Well like you know they are vicious racists and frankly don't know why they're version more action taken this. The comments and I'm focusing on where he made about threatening. White people he wants to kill a baby urging black men to come in and kill white people. That reason even part of though the law case that brought all this to attention. There's the lead to a legal case has to do voter intimidation that have Aaron election Philadelphia but I don't know why it is. That we don't take this threat seriously I mean isn't that. 88 threat of murder isn't that inciting. To the most horrific kind of violence and it's caught on tape. There might apologetic guy standing out there why don't we have. Police arresting and prosecutors prosecuting. Guys like this and have my favorite and who -- of taking care of him. Would be to send -- our country doesn't like white folks godsend in Africa I don't want him here he don't wanna be here fine.

By -- another thing that a lot of people don't realize in this country is. It's been. Been forgotten that I mean did get some play. And some of the papers. But fox knows Atlanta. In all. Oh cool Obama I'll -- led. Terrorist. I mean the preacher wish spewing hatred. What walked into this White House and one what are we gonna be living way there for the next two years it it's rather scary.

A cherished and it should they what's really scary about this is what motivated the whole story. Is that this is our Department of Justice. Is one thing that you have a guy like shall not okay they're going to be some fringe elements. He he can't ignore them. But there on the fringe and as a little bit of a show Awad in his somebody. Text and earlier and I'll say it again to emphasize. That there's a very very tiny. Percentage of people black or white who think this way most of the members of both ratios are much more decent than that. But that said. Don't you wish our Department of Justice is ignoring this what what is going on.

877469432. -- the phone number six -- six -- is how you taxed. And if you want email and Nelson wrko.com. Steve your next on the program good afternoon.

I have to go on. I think penetration we brought for a long time now. A -- as far as -- black schools you have public schools are true of all white school are straight -- Ought not get aggression caucus I white -- straight there's. And god as far as -- after America term. What about our chairman general America a wired for our European Americans know we showed that -- special interest bridge jeweler the president bring out. I tried the doctor because they can assure the American culture what -- you are.

Yeltsin regime that you should say that because he framed it a little bit differently but Theodore Roosevelt after he was president made a speech. Condemning this so called hyphenated American. Which you know there's just people are Americans -- then nothing in in his day. If he was talk about the European Haifa nations you know it'll all American Franco American German America but in a way you're saying the same thing right -- just should be --

Are you happier grabbed an -- off special charge. Of fact via I have very special thing that -- our best they were Carmine ticket what. But what Laporte get the job -- you have been more ethnic Hui. They are diverse -- just --

The short. The short answer to that Steve is yes. That's exactly right you're right it shouldn't even be asked but it is vastly less medication task because why because. There is a wall -- called affirmative action then people making judgments on the basis of skin color. In that regard I guess we need. Are complicit with the likes of a show module also makes judgments on the base of skin color he is is more vicious than ours. But the fault of philosophical fault. The underlying. The underlying negation of the basic principle of equality in color blindness that's. -- that's crossed dubbed by both people.

president just what you -- but apparently not -- Either very or Georgia or Obama district electric -- but Iraq present much -- relevant at all text and just say no -- you have -- so. How that can affect them.

Yeah so right then and unfortunately. A man who campaign is being post racial. Carly isn't because he's allowing the Justice Department to do this may probably even knows about it Steve thanks for call point we'll -- toward its push to be it is supposed to be you come here it's okay to keep. The ethnicity and to keep the old traditions and it's wonderful we have different foods hey most of us would never gotten exposed to pizza if it weren't for the fact. That there or fox folks of Italian heritage here and you know down the list them all the different. -- of all aspects of culture. Food dress. Arts. -- music and wonderful that we have that but. It's supposed to be the melting pot. And some people refuse to melt. And worst than that some people wanna kill those who are different from them and that's where you have -- And some of the others. In the black panther movement and your same thing -- Jeremiah Wright and you got asked the question who states. In a church for 22 years. We have a pastor. Who is saying these things. Who is so condemning. Of white people. Of Jews. Of America. Who stays in the church like that. What does that say about the mentality. Of someone who chooses such a pastor. As his mentor. Should we be surprised when we get this now. 87746943. To choose a phone number. We go to a break RO go to the phones we are the -- stage you're next on the program good afternoon.

Yes hey every. Night. He was pleasures sort these sir you're a long time conservative hero of mine I remember you from finally let --

Tell your very kind thank you opened the -- to those who don't remember five on five was a public affairs program on channel five that. We're on for quite some time June 22 years and has been off the -- now for a few years to.

Anyway we're hearing simply tear. The person who can vote theory he is -- rate scream speech. The purposely use conservatives never do that have it's it's so once headed.

Thank.

What do you know there are limits of freedom of speech you can't come up to somebody and say I'm gonna kill you -- and then say. Not let freedom of speech may -- Speech has consequences. And liked it right in the same thing also with fraud you can't. He can't commit fraud meaning that classic example of this is he's yelling fire on a crowded theater when there is no fiery. He can't pass sent offers freedom of speech and and I'm getting phone calls are from. I'm gonna come -- people who weren't here at the beginning. And don't know what you're talking about they don't know undocumented repeat what mr. Shabazz so sad okay and I will do that. I tell the best way to repeated is to replay. Show.

If people don't know we're talking -- he shouted -- Christian Adams testified before the US civil rights commission he was a member of the Department of Justice. And this -- started with. -- voter intimidation. Action that was brought by the Department of Justice when bush was in office. It had to do -- voter intimidation caught on tape caught a microphone. Of new black Panthers is they call him dressed in power military uniforms. Killing ninety sticks and threatening people who were coming in devote. That case had been one. And then was dropped by the Department of Justice in Christian Adams testified. That it was done intentionally and moreover there is a philosophy. In the department. That black people who commit crime shall not be prosecuted in the center area only white people will. Then. You find out more about the Shabazz who was one of the two people involved in the incident. Because he was on a public street is videotape this which has been played on the news. And he was expressing. His views about white folks and here. Is his voice in here is what he said.

I hate white. All of this. Every lesson I don't know we'll track -- Until I. Community could. The guy -- in 2003 when -- very -- war and all of that we've gone -- pregnant African goggle. Hello switching -- man they had filmed and we don't like doing a damn. You have we don't -- black children -- let's. They act like children had made.

Exact. They get people up to speed as to what we're talking about. If that doesn't horrify you -- going on the year and streets of America. Pendleton are fly you I don't know what will they -- interrupted you glad.

Yes sure -- just one final point via.

I I don't think what this guy it was a.

Spewing was really hate speech and I think we should say use those terms against the liberals.

have a king hate crimes but a advocating that -- people -- killed.

And I think you're actually right knows what to do that gave the Department of Justice what you think -- think we have Hillary the new voter intimidation. But I think you're actually right.

Good maybe if -- So maybe if we use those terms ourselves like a personal a media person like yourself -- or any crimes and hate speech. Well that's true this would.

know that sounds Richard sounds remarkably sensible straightforward doesn't it you'd think we'd be able to get it. And and -- what does that say about a Justice Department about our attorney general and about our president. But they don't understand that fundamental principle would you just enunciated so well and so easily.
