Voter ID, Eric Holder and the Increasingly Partisan Nature of ‘Civil Rights’
13th March 2012
The Other McCain jerks the camouflage off of the modern race-victim industry’s program.
In case you haven’t figured it out by now, “civil rights” has become a code phrase for “whatever Democrats want,” so that anyone who disagrees with Democrats is said to be “anti-civil rights.” Case in point, the Texas voter ID law:
The Justice Department’s civil rights division on Monday objected to a new photo ID requirement for voters in Texas because many Hispanic voters lack state-issued identification.
Why do Hispanic voters in Texas “lack state-issued identification”?
No drivers license? No passport? Nothing?
Is it cynical — or perhaps even racist — to suggest that many Hispanics in Texas don’t have ID because they are illegal immigrants and, as such, are not actually legal voters? Are Republicans just a bunch of xenophobic bigots for suspecting that Democrats oppose voter ID laws because they hope to use the votes of illegal aliens (or other methods of vote fraud) to elect Democrats?
Oh, say it ain’t so.

So does this mean that Eric Holder is going to let people fly on airplanes without a photo ID? Let them buy a gun? Let them cash a check? Get a job? Drive a car?
Such BS.
BTW, the state of Texas makes it pretty easy to get a state-issued ID card if you don’t have a driver’s license. In fact, there are plenty of places to get fake ID’s that are pretty good. None of this is about Hispanics. It’s about allowing voter fraud to take place with the blessing of the federal government.
Eric Holder didn’t think that Black Panthers standing outside a voting location holding clubs was intimidation, but showing ID is?
I’m not sure which pisses me off more, this issue or the lack of more people being as outraged by this as I am.
