Holder Wants Race Preferences and Benefits . . . Forever March 2, 2012 \| J. Christian Adams pjmedia.com Eric Holder has gone all-in supporting race-based hiring preferences and race-based benefits. Given that the majority of Americans despise this rot, surely the presidential candidates will pounce. In a little noticed interview at the “World Leaders Forum,” Holder makes statements that should be the subject of a direct mail piece in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Virginia: Holder expressed support for affirmative action, saying that he “can’t actually imagine a time in which the need for more diversity would ever cease.” “Affirmative action has been an issue since segregation practices,” Holder said. “The question is not when does it end, but when does it begin. … When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?” Let me repeat: When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled? Again, the benefits to which they are entitled. Ponder a moment the layers of rubbish in this philosophy. Some are surprised by Holder’s brazenness. I am not. As I like to say, I wrote a bestseller about Holder’s racialist DOJ. Nothing surprises me anymore. The only surprise is the dumbfounded, stuck, GOP response — which would be none. If the GOP nominee does not make this a presidential campaign issue because he is afraid to talk about such unpleasantries, then shame on him. In tough economic times, the last thing middle America wants to hear is the attorney general grousing about people of color getting benefits because of their color. The Obama administration obviously exercises no restraint on racial issues, or perhaps has the courage of their convictions. What price is paid for this racial radicalism? None. Instead, we have a whole assortment of Republicans, inside the government (oh and I could name so many names), afraid to pound Obama for this. Let’s hope they come out of their shells and fight. Obama has paid no price for this rotted, unfair, and un-American employment philosophy, and continued GOP silence will preserve this peace.

Conservatives would stay home in droves for rather than vote for Romney in a normal election cycle. Having an incumbent who is the worst President in history running for reelection will motivate most people who might otherwise not be motivated to vote in November. The only question is how many millions of fraudulent votes are registered for Obama. Hopefully vote fraud will not be enough to overcome the popular distaste for the Obama Administration.
