It ain’t over ’til they’re gone

“When is enough enough for these guys?”

And now we get ERICA Holder. This should awaken our “victorious” GOP leadership. But it won’t.  From M. Catharine Evans writing at American Thinker:

Here we go again: AG nominee Loretta Lynch wants to free blacks from the ‘Prison of Racism’

If confirmed, it looks as if Barack Obama’s nominee for Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, will be carrying out  Eric Holder’s politics of racial vengeance. Based on her family history, social justice statements and close ties to black activists,  Lynch will deploy law enforcement resources based on race and political ideology, not on the rule of law . . .

Lynch has a close relationship with Eric Holder and in a speech at the Martin Luther King Center in Long Beach, New York last year she vowed to continue his work at the Department of Justice and fight those in the “deep south” who want to take away blacks’ voting rights and reverse the progress of the last 50 years

Then she asks the young people in the audience, “What is it that makes you feel oppressed?” “Is it the prison of racism?”

Last week the American people roundly rejected Obama’s divisive ‘post-racial’ racism and gave the Republicans one more chance to stand up for us. Will they say “No” to another Ivy League radical determined to undermine our rule of law by stirring up trouble between blacks and whites? Senator Lindsey Graham has already stated Lynch is a “solid choice” by the President. Graham’s remark begs the question, “When is enough enough for these guys?”

Seriously,  Eric Holder said this?

From an AP story by Eric Tucker appearing in the Washington Times:

Holder tells Fast and Furious critics to kiss his butt in released emails 

In one email from March 2011, after being sent a news story about the Fast and Furious investigation, Holder told staff, “I hope there is another side to the story.” Later, after the ATF deputy director assured Holder aides that “we did not allow guns to walk,” Holder responded to staff with, “Do they really, really know?”

That August, Holder was told by staff that about 25 U.S. attorneys was upset that the resignation of Dennis Burke, then the U.S. attorney in Arizona, was announced simultaneously with the reassignment of ATF Acting Director Ken Melson. Holder wondered “why wouldn’t we get the benefit of the doubt.  Assume we’re doing things for the right reasons and in the right way.”

Holder later added, “Some people can kiss my a**.”

We don’t care about the “kiss my ass part “. . .  we just wonder when Eric Holder has ever “given the benefit of the doubt” when he can accuse someone of racism?

The internecine battle continues as well

Mr. Huntsman, is by any measure, I believe, a good man who has accomplished much in his life and has done many good things. He is sincere in his beliefs and he acts upon them.

All of this is much to be admired. However, views and comments such as these raise questions about just how out of touch and how distorted the liberal view becomes when people are hugely successful and come to live daily in an atmosphere of great adulation and subject to incessant sycophancy.

This seems to say it all:

“Mr. Huntsman Sr., founder of Huntsman Chemical Corporation, added that he didn’t think a “moderate” Republican like his son could win the party’s nomination.
“Similarly, he argued that Mr. Bush “would represent the Republican Party very well, but I doubt he’ll be embraced too heavily by the tea party gang.”
“Mr. Huntsman Sr. also said Hillary Clinton “would be a fine president.”

Note: Did Mr. Huntsman mean to say, “Tea Party has ‘captured’ . . . ?) Also, was it the rejection of son, little Jonny, that ruined the GOP? Just wondr’n.

Powerline take on Tommy Steyer throwing $48 million down the “Cash for Clunkers” commode is missing just a watt or two, or is just slightly off phase

This piece from Steven Hayward at  Powerline —  More Yummy, High-Fat Election Schadenfreude  is rather typical of what is being written by conservative pundits. Rightfully in payback for the incessant attacks on the Koch brothers, Republicans and conservatives  (I tend to draw a distinction between those two of late) are gleeful in noting how billionaire hedge fund mogul and former fossil fuel entrepreneur, Tommy Steyer wasted some $48 million on losing Democratic candidates in the mid-term.

Actually, I think that this is a slightly wrong approach.

True, the big bucks Steyer wasted on candidates including “Bruce Almighty” Bailey, er Barley, er Barely is noteworthy. More importantly though, is the fact that Steyer had actually made a commitment, wasted or not, to pay through campaign donations to the Democratic party in return for President Obama agreeing to further delay, and in Steyer’s firmest desires, kill the XL pipeline project.

Both parties kept their agreement. As Steyer announced he would, he delivered $48 million on behalf of Democratic candidates. Mr. Obama, as he obviously promised, did indeed delay the XL pipeline.

If the liberal media, including the QC Times were honest and forthright and more than merely ideological mouthpieces for the Democratic party, they’d be expressing genuine alarm over a billionaire actually “buying” a president’s actions.

This is what they accuse, without evidence of any kind, the Koch brothers of when one of “their folks’ actually did it!

Of course , the retort will be that Steyer didn’t have to offer this “bribe”. Obama has all along desired to kill the XL pipeline to please his radical environmental supporters.

But when it’s all said and done, Mr. Steyer just threw another $48 million down the “Cash for Clunkers” commode.    Condolences to Congressman Braley.
