Holder On Civil Rights: “Let’s Be Clear — We Have Not Yet Reached The Promised Land”…
He’s looking at you Tea Party bitter clinger racists!
(SLT) — Borrowing President Barack Obama’s campaign reference to “the fierce urgency of now,” U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called on Utahns to fight for the “endearing fairness” of equal justice — hearkening to the spirit and message of slain civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.
“Let’s be clear — we have not yet reached the promised land,” Holder, the nation’s first black attorney general, told a packed Salt Lake City hotel ballroom during Friday’s Martin Luther King Jr. Human Rights Commission luncheon.
“Each one of us has the power and the obligation to improve the lives of others,” he said in a speech that lasted fewer than 15 minutes.
Holder said he has the privilege and “solemn duty” of enforcing the reforms King pioneered. He also pointed to progress, noting the Justice Department, on his watch, has filed a record number of civil cases. Justice, he added, has also launched a “groundbreaking” initiative to make legal services available to all comers.
Holder stressed that his civil rights division has strengthened the King-promoted Voting Rights Act to ensure every soldier, senior and student has the right to cast ballots. And he pledged to protect the rights of all Americans, referencing military members serving abroad, the disabled and those facing language barriers.
“This is in keeping with the arc of American history,” he told the crowd, “which is always geared toward inclusion, not exclusion.”

No we dont, retard. I am not my brothers keeper nor is he mine.
And why would I want to help someone who wont help himself?
He has improved the lives of the NBPP.
“Each one of us has the power and the obligation to improve the lives of others,” he said in a speech that lasted fewer than 15 minutes.”

I must say, that is probably the most ridiculous and utterly indefensible thing I have ever heard. Propoganda at its worst. Goebbels would laugh his head off at such an obvious ploy.
Sorry, meant ‘propaganda’.
“Each one of us has the power and the obligation to improve the lives of others,” he said in a speech.
And that is why I, Eric Holder have authorized the illegal distribution of automatic weaponry across our borders to aide and abet the criminal enterprise of drug and people trafficking networks of Mexico to assist in the destruction of America…
remember Holder can not be called the n-word
reason hes below the n-word like the next step down,under whale crap
Holder might (… might…) be referring to “as you do to the least of these”.
On the other hand, he and his appointee staff have delimited the official “least of these” in racial/ethnic terms.
Why do I not think that’s what Jesus had in mind?
heh
Limbaugh explained years ago how the civil rights movement could never end. Because then the race-baiting poverty pimps would have nothing to complain about and stand for nothing. He used to ask, “At what point are blacks equal?” And he was right.
Yeah, the overseas military have the right, but not the ability, thanks to Eric.
Eric Holder please go jump in a lake you miserble little worm you
mlk would probably punch eric right in the mouth. he wanted REAL change, not a bunch of race-baiters keeping the chaos alive. you are pathetic, holder.

Nope. Nothing in there detailing the Duty to deliver Their Chosen People to the Promised Land.
that people take this crap laying down is unbelievable. Once they obliterate natural born citizens from the landscape they’ll come after their Chosen Ones. and we’ll long gone to defend them.
he’s a farce. and above the Law. New Rules, People. Gird your loins!
Obligation? Where does that come from? Christianity? Sorry pal. You can’t pick and choose when you want separation of church and state.
Having holder in the promissed land is like having King Herrod at the nativity
But that obligation belongs to each person, PERSONALLY. It is up to each person, what and how much and who we help. It isn’t up to the government.
If our neighbors need help, we help them, if we can. But I can’t imagine the government stepping in and telling me I must five to them.
The government’s idea of the promised land, and my idea are two different thiings, and we should be free to choose the one we want.
We The People have been usurped.
We are living in a coup. I miss America, my beloved Country.
This RASCIST POS has alot of nerve referencing the American History. He knows nothing about this countries history. He and his POS boss obummer just want to change the American Way of life and Justice.
“F” you Holder. You’ll have plenty of time to read up on the America you and obummer seem to hate, while your lying in your CELL in GITMO.
Not Yet Reached The Promised Land on civil rights?
How so?
@Major Glory:
Yes, I’d like to know too.
I just realized that Obama cant pardon Eric Holder for crimes that occurred in another country. (Mexico)
I wish with all my heart that Holder reaches the Promised land today! And may he take his boss too. Amen
The paper’s headline said Eric the Red wanted people to fight for justice. The best thing to do apparently is to get his stupid Bolshevik paralegal out of the DoJ and find someone who can read the Constitution.
What an incredibly stupid thing to say. Promised Land? You should hang your head in shame. Still talking to your followers like they’re slaving in the fields and polishing someone else’s silver, while you line your pockets with taxpayer money. You are a disgrace and are guilty of feeding and filling ‘your people’ with hatred and vitriol that is unwarranted.
To give money to those that suffer and nurture those in need-willingly-is a great tribute to the scriptures of both the Hebrew and Christian Bibles. For the government to confiscate it and redistribute it is a crime of enormous proportions.
I wonder what the penalty is for 200 counts of murder…….
We are not going to wait the next 40 years in the wilderness for you brain damaged buffoons to lead the U.S. to your idea of the “Promised Land”. We are marching to Cannan this Nov 12th… You would do well to stay the hell out of the way!
Oops.. Canaan
More satanic bologna from AFRICAN preachers. Again, does anyone know where this is found in the AV of 1611? Its in Jeremiah 23 and there you will find where Michael Luther King Jr got his “I had a dream garbage”. Secondly, it was the Jews thru Moses who screamed for Civil Rights and religious liberties from a North African Egyptian Hammite named Pharoah. It was the Egyptians who enslaved the Jews (and there own people for that matter) and not the other way around. The news media will get you killed LITERALLY. Then again, the Bible is a circle and we have come full circle. It was the Hammites enslaving the Jews and we are seeing it again in Israel and this country and no politician (and 99% of people for that matter) believed that God drowned Pharoah and the Egyptians in the Red Sea. Guess what since the Bible is a circle? Its comign again! Tick tock tick tock Eric Holder.
Mr Holder isn’t a real attorney general, he is Obama’s flunky. A real attorney general is supposed to enforce all of the laws of the U.S.A. not just one Mr H older likes. He should be impeached for refusing to doing his job . He should be put in prison for aiding and abetting in the murder of the border patrol and for selling gun to drug dealers in Mexico.
Then go home.
@papoose
exactly what I thought
‘he has the privilege and “solemn duty” of enforcing the reforms King pioneered’
NO, as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the Nation he is TASKED with enforcing the Law of the Land,
Unfortunately this political tool has no intention of following the Rule of Law
Stedmen is still around? Time to impeach this S.O.B and throw is ass in prison for flat out treason.
Tell you what Holder Moron, we’ll pay to put you and your people on a boat off our continent to your promised land, just show up at the ship yard and leave.
Leave me alone…..or else.
Both Holder and Obongo’s “Promised Land” is a lake of fire and eternal damnation. And their followers, the same.
Dr. King is SPINNING in his grave.
Unfortunately Obama and his goon were elected “because of the color of their skin, not because of the content of their character.”
Wonder why the call themselves “African Americans” when they hate the “Americans” part?
Does the Promised Land feature dealing with corruption in government departments? I guess so cause Holder still has his job.
If this was the MIRROR UNIVERSE he would be our captian
I’m getting more angry by the day at this rodent-faced Obama
pimp. Remember the non-stop assassination of John Ashcroft
by the left 10 years ago? The Pubs are in the minor leagues
in retaliation. Holder is a DISGRACE, by any standard, for
an Atty-Gen……yet sits there there giving the finger to white
America on a daily basis. He, like Obama, carries a big chip
on his shoulder, openly……and gets a free ride because of
his race, and the fear of ordinary citizens to call an angry spade
a spade.
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery”
– Winston Churchill
Holder qualifies with the first three and is making every attempt to see that we (the people) qualify for the fourth. Holder does not care about equal rights, his agenda is to ensure our dear leaders edicts are carried out.
OMG=Obama Must Go
Apparently the “Promised Land” is a place where blacks are all powerful and omnipotent. Anything less is just land.
Let me be clear, has anyone noticed how clear these commies always want to be. Well let me be clear in approximately 11 months you can clear out your offices because we clearly are sick of your ignorance. We clearly reject your lies, your hate, and you. LOL
All commies are the same LIARS and MASS MURDERERS
Obama, Holder and this racist administration have done more to create wider racial divides and tension in this country than anything else in the past several decades, and in only 3 years!!! Are we headed for more violent racial strife, ala LA and so forth in the coming years? If so, I believe we can lay most of the blame for it at the feet of these two traitors to this country!
time for holder to wake up he has been in the promised land he has just got to get everybdy on welfare to go out and find a job like maybe a mcdonalds some thing the obama administrations is proud of for the jobs they have created there have to start some where and work your way to the top not start at the top and work your way down
