We need to have an open, honest, non-cowardly discussion of race...

First it was declaring that the Arizona police were about to act stupidly even though he had not read the law, just the NYT (Skip Gates, Duke Lacrosse).

Now we get:

“In the case of all three attempts in the last year, the terrorist attempts, one of which was successful, those individuals have had ties to radical Islam,” said Representative Smith. “Do you feel that these individuals might have been incited to take the actions that they did because of radical Islam?”

“Because of . . . ?”

“Radical Islam,” repeated Smith.

“There are a variety of reasons why I think people have taken these actions,” replied Eric Holder noncommittally. “I think you have to look at each individual case.”

The congressman tried again. “Yes, but radical Islam could have been one of the reasons?”

“There are a variety of reasons why people . . . ”

“But was radical Islam one of them?”

“There are a variety of reasons why people do things,” the attorney general said again. “Some of them are potentially religious . . . ” Stuff happens. Hard to say why.

“Okay,” said Smith. “But all I’m asking is if you think, among those variety of reasons, radical Islam might have been one of the reasons that the individuals took the steps that they did.”

“You see, you say ‘radical Islam,’” objected Holder. “I mean, I think those people who espouse a — a version of Islam that is not . . . ”

“Are you uncomfortable attributing any actions to radical Islam?” asked Smith. “It sounds like it.”

And so on, and so forth. At Ford Hood, Major Hasan jumped on a table and gunned down his comrades while screaming “Allahu Akbar!” — which is Arabic for “Nothing to see here” and an early indicator of pre-post-traumatic stress disorder. The Times Square bomber, we are assured by the Washington Post, CNN, and Newsweek, was upset by foreclosure proceedings on his house. Mortgage-related issues. Nothing to do with months of training at a Taliban camp in Waziristan.

We need to stop Eric Holder from hiding behind his skin color and demand that he step down due to the sheer and utter incompetence that we would castigate a white man for. A lot of people wanted Ashcroft gone on far less substantive stuff...

Ask Eric Holder...




Don't hold your breath waiting for an honest, or even understandable, answer...
 
A noble effort, but I doubt you'll get much which isn't hysterical.



I was a half-miler - not a sprint, and not long-distance - kind of a 'tweener.

I refuse to tell people here where I went to school, lest they draw fallacious conclusions. I drank for years in biker bars to get over it.



School was that which didn't kill me, but those white boys sure as hell gave it their best shot.

The last laugh was on them though went we got old enough to get into the ring...



;) ;)
