‘Every Single One’ Fallout: Justice Dept. in Turmoil From PJMedia Series

Pajamas Media  113 and Oh.

Following the Justice Department’s long-delayed compliance with a Freedom of Information Act request, PJMedia recently published content from the resumes of each career attorney hired to the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division under Attorney General Eric Holder. The articles were written by two former Civil Rights Division attorneys — J. Christian Adams and Hans von Spakovsky — and PJMedia Editor Richard Pollock.
The Justice Department is forbidden by federal law from hiring employees based on political affiliation. Yet the resumes revealed the following ideological breakdown among the new hires:

Leftist lawyers: 113
Moderate, non-ideological, or conservative lawyers: 0.

Eric Holder by Jason Seiler

That represents the basest headline for the series, the matter-of-fact evidence that should lead any reasonable observer to believe the DOJ has employed an illegal political litmus test during the interview process. But the “Every Single One” series has provided additional benefits: the results present the inherent flaw in leftism’s perversion of the term “civil rights,” while providing a real world example of the flawed belief actualized. Additionally, the “Every Single One” series presents ramifications that reach far beyond the individuals most directly affected by DOJ activity.

We hope not to understate it: this perversion of “civil rights“ is the beating heart of leftism itself.

American Spectator : Deep Corruption at the Obama Justice Department   "As I noted a few weeks ago when writing about this scandal, "These people were members of groups like 'Queer Resistance Front,' 'Intersex Society of North America,' and of course People for the American Way. Their published essays focused on issues such as 'Genital Normalizing Surgery on Intersexed Infants' and on arguing that providing material support for terrorism isn't a war crime."

Jennifer Rubin warned us way back in 2009  "In the weeks before Eric Holder was confirmed as Attorney General, Jennifer Rubin kept up a steady drumbeat of blog posts warning us all what a dishonest, radically leftist problem he would turn out to be. Rubin was absolutely right. Somehow, though, Holder's dastardliness has outstripped even the stern warnings Rubin issued."

Obama's FY 2011 Debt Bigger Than Nixon's Entire Government; How to Explain it to a Lib

CNS News  "The $1.16517 trillion in new debt the Obama administration has accumulated so far in this fiscal year is about $22.81 billion more than the $1.14236 trillion in inflation-adjusted dollars than the entire federal government spent in 1970." More coming if you just PASS THIS BILL!   Via Neal Boortz who commented:

The 2012 Republican nominee must impress upon Americans the danger of this statistic and then they must have a plan on how to turn it around. Unfortunately, the majority of Americans don’t have any skin in the game, so convincing them of how dangerous this truly is will be tough. It will take a great speaker and a great leader. It will take an even better leader to actually make it happen once in office. Boortz added this:

Here’s more ammo for you when discussing taxes with your lib and prog friends or co-workers.
"Wealth envy is a political scheme used to buy votes. It should not be dictating economic policy."
Let me repeat that with red highlights: Wealth envy is a political scheme used to buy votes. It should not be dictating economic policy.

Attack Waaaatch!

Watching Attack Watch . . . Do Nothing for the Past Nine Days.  "The creators and managers of the Obama campaign web site “ATTACK WATCH” have not Tweeted since September 14, and the last “Attack File” was posted September 12. Perhaps they realized that they couldn’t top themselves after making Mark Steyn (right) look sinister and demonic."....

"By ceasing to do any work, the “Attack Watch” team has now joined the ranks of 14 million other Americans under Obama’s economic policies"

 Steyn on White House’s ‘Attack Watch’: ‘It’s real pansy-boy stuff’  "The Obama campaign’s creation of an “Attack Watch” website has become something of joke since its launch this week, but and National Review columnist Mark Steyn says it reveals something crucial about the Obama campaign’s character.....
"“I suppose if in many parts of the world,” Steyn explained, ”but in particular if, like me, you’re a foreigner, you’re an immigrant to this great land, when the head of state decides to single you out for attraction, for mention on his enemies list, you ought to be worried about it. But I think this is a joke."

Iran: Negotiating with Hostage Takers and Murderers

Warning Signs  "When Iranians took to the streets to protest the election of Ahmadinejad, they were gunned down in the streets of Tehran while others were imprisoned. President Obama’s response at the time was that the U.S. should not “meddle” in Iranian affairs, though he would earlier call for the overthrow of Egypt’s Mubarack and later seek to engage NATO in the overthrow of Libya’s dictator."  Alan Caruba
Tell it like it is, Alan.

Ten Years of Lessons Unlearned   "We have prevented further attacks on the homeland, but the longer-term goal of definitively repudiating the Islamist drive for global preeminence has been compromised by our failure to understand the Islamic bona fides of much of the Islamist ideology, and its resonance among millions of Muslims. This failure may in the long run lead to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Egypt joining Iran as an Islamic republic hostile to our interests." Bruce Thornton


Freed hikers recount 2 years of 'lies and false hope'  ""Sarah, Josh and I have experienced a taste of the Iranian regime's brutality. We have been held in almost total isolation from the world and everything we love, stripped of our rights and freedom," Bauer said.
"He urged Iran to release all political prisoners immediately, telling reporters, "There are people in Iran who have been imprisoned for years for simply attending a protest, for writing a pro-democracy blog or for worshiping an unpopular faith." "

Making speeches and spreading blame are tools of choice in an adolescent White House

World Magazine "The Obama speech-making has turned off the electorate partly because of another child-like habit. The speeches are filled with excuses, as the president constantly blames others for the problems he hasn't been able to solve. For his first couple of years in office, it was standard Obama fare to make George Bush his whipping boy. More recently, it's all the rich people—the people who fly jet airplanes and who waste their money on tax-deductible charitable gifts.

....
"But something important in the fiber of a nation is lost when grown-ups—too often led by their president—act like little kids."

 Barack Blames Blacks, Bush, Banks, Budget, You "Barack Obama continued his stirring “It’s All Your Fault” campaign tour this week scolding crowds in New York, Ohio, Washington, DC and people on the West Bank and in Israel for not doing their jobs.
"It seems that citizens around the world are screwing up what otherwise would have been a fun-filled four years of taxpayers’ subsidized vacations for Barry and Michelle. And Obama is hoping that will change."

Obama’s Racial Gerrymandering  "We just can’t have this. We can’t have whites who criticize the President’s job performance called racist for doing so and we can’t have blacks who criticize his performance called traitors to Dr. King’s legacy. Let’s all say no to racial gerrymandering."

Suddenly...
Obama Drops The Class Warfare Rhetoric During Fundraisers With Rich Donors…  "Obama will appear at no fewer than seven fundraising events over the next two days. The trip puts him in something of a delicate spot. He is raising millions from some of the same economic elites he says are flourishing under an unfair tax code."

Honkies for Herman (They said it, not me)

Honkies for Herman   ..."Since racism, race bating, and classism are staples of leftist politics, we have decided to proudly be Honkies For Herman as a way of taking the issue away from the left. The left are the racists, not conservatives. We are also Honkies For Herman because we don’t believe in a white America, black America, hispanic America, etc. We believe in Americans period, and not some leftist ideology of a segmented America. The content of one’s character and ability is paramount.  (Emphasis added)
"We will not be producing any “Honkies For Herman” t-shirts, bumper stickers, or buttons. This site is meant to spread news about Mr. Cain and to tweet about Mr. Cain. And the second purpose is to take the “conservatives are racist” meme away from the left. And third, the left can’t take a joke when the joke is on them, which might be the best reason of all.
"Go Herman!!!"

However these guys will be happy to make the aforementioned bumper stickers:

And then there is this little doozy:
