Liberal Media blackout for Black Panthers

Where is the New York Times? Where is The Washington Post? Where are CBS and NBC? A whistleblower makes explosive allegations about the Department of Justice; his story is backed by at least two other witnesses; and the allegations involve the two hot-button issues of race and of blatant politicization of the justice system. A potential constitutional confrontation stemming from the scandal brews between the Justice Department and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. A congressman highly respected for thoughtfulness and bipartisanship has all but accused the department of serious impropriety. By every standard of objective journalism, this adds up to real news.

Or it would be real news if a Republican Justice Department stood accused. It would be real news if the liberal media weren’t mostly in the tank for our celebrated but failing first black president. Read much more at the
The Washington Times has reported strong circumstantial evidence suggesting that department officials may have consulted the White House before dismissing the case. That possibility, too, cries out for investigation. SOURCE

The blacks voted Barack Hussein Obama into the White House with the help of many conservatives, Obama in turn has not been a good example of the black people or has he? If he’s the best they can produce then it will be many years before another black person becomes president. He’s done nothing to better America, he has put our children into a debt that they will never pay out of, delay his responds to the BP oil spill to allow the shore lines to be damaged beyond repair and the Afghanistan  War is not going well with more of our troops being killed on Obama’s watch than both Iraq and Afghanistan War combine under President Bush’s watch. Raised our taxes in more ways than we can count couple being the most costly Obamacare and bail outs of to big to fail companies and banks.
Does Obama understand that if these Black Panthers are not brought to court and tried that in the years to come when a member of the KKK is arrested and tried that this case with the Black Panthers will be used by the defense!
I think the conservatives that voted for Obama has learned a lesson but has the blacks learn that Obama isn’t a good example for them?
The liberal media isn’t reporting about the crisis that we the people are facing under Obama’s leadership.

UPDATE: Rahm Emanuel’s profitable stint at Freddie Mac

Before its portfolio of bad loans helped trigger the current housing crisis, mortgage giant Freddie Mac was the focus of a major accounting scandal that led to a management shake-up, huge fines and scalding condemnation of passive directors by a top federal regulator.

One of those allegedly asleep-at-the-switch board members was Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel—now chief of staff to President Barack Obama—who made at least $320,000 for a 14-month stint at Freddie Mac that required little effort.

As gatekeeper to Obama, Emanuel now plays a critical role in addressing the nation’s mortgage woes and fulfilling the administration’s pledge to impose responsibility on the financial world.

The accounting scandal wasn’t the only one that brewed during Emanuel’s tenure.

During his brief time on the board, the company hatched a plan to enhance its political muscle. That scheme, also reviewed by the board, led to a record $3.8 million fine from the Federal Election Commission for illegally using corporate resources to host fundraisers for politicians. Emanuel was the beneficiary of one of those parties after he left the board and ran in 2002 for a seat in Congress from the North Side of Chicago.

The board was throttled for its acquiescence to the accounting manipulation in a 2003 report by Armando Falcon Jr., head of a federal oversight agency for Freddie Mac. The scandal forced Freddie Mac to restate $5 billion in earnings and pay $585 million in fines and legal settlements. It also foreshadowed even harder times at the firm.

Many of those same risky investment practices tied to the accounting scandal eventually brought the firm to the brink of insolvency and led to its seizure last year by the Bush administrationChicago Tribune

Make sure you read the whole story at The Ciicago Tribune as there is to much to post!

There is more: I don’t think we will see this reported on NBC after learning about Beth A. Wilkinson.

See The Chicago Tribune cause there is more to this then one would think! How in this World did Emanuel get into the White House? Looks as if we have a bunch of crooks in the White House, and its understandable why Obama picked them.
