U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch dispatched the Justice Department's civil rights chief to Baltimore in the wake of the death of a black male under police custody there.

"In the days ahead, I intend to work with leaders throughout Baltimore to ensure that we can protect the security and civil rights of residents including blacks,'' Lynch said. "And I will bring the full resources of the Department of Justice to bear in protecting those under threat by police by investigating wrongdoing.''

So citizens of Baltimore are under attack by black thugs pretending to use anger to riot under the guise of "demonstrating" and what does she do...she throws flue on the fire!

Let me paraphrase that quotation into 5th grade English for you, Tool:

"In the days ahead I'm going to enforce the law for everyone, even blacks."

So what part of enforcing the law for everyone bothers you so much?

If you didn't have a flue on your fire, your house would fill up with smoke.

You should be thanking her for that.

Lynch was appointed because she is black.

No white candidate was even considered.

[Clownkicker]

johnny, sometimes Presidents just want to make history.

Like when Eisenhower appointed Earl Warren to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Warren had never even been a judge before.
No one else was considered for the post.

Besides, you don't think that over the past six years Obama considered a number of possible people as Holder's replacement?
You just don't see the choice being made NOW.
That doesn't mean there wasn't a choice made.

Stop pretending politics and legacy considerations don't enter into such nominations by all Presidents.
You think Reagan wasn't perfectly aware that Sandra Day O'Connor was a woman?
You don't think that 'affirmative action for women' played a part in his decision?

[johnforbes]

I agree Earl Warren had no credentials.

Moreover, he was horrible in the job, and his court went a long way toward simply making up things.

Whatever one might believe about politics, there's nothing in the Constitution which grants "Miranda Rights" or gay marriage, etc.

The reason Obama wanted Lynch for AG was to break new ground because Obama sees the world in racial terms, and because Obama wanted a leftist sycophant to replace Holder.

"... and because Obama wanted a leftist sycophant to replace Holder."-johnforbes

And once again johnny is "shocked! Shocked I tell you" that a President would appoint someone whom he expects will carry out his own agenda.

How did you ever get so old being so naive, johnny?

[johnforbes]

Old?

I'm as fresh as the morning dew.

[Clownkicker]

Yes, johnforbes is as fresh as a dogs morning doo-doo.

Lynch was chosen only because of her race and gender.

That's the precise opposite of what Martin Luther King preached.

[Clownkicker]

And invading Iraq is the exact opposite of what Jesus preached.
And complaining about feeding the hungry.
And complaining about caring for the sick.
And complaining about sheltering the homeless.
You know, all the stuff conservatives are always complaining about society doing.

What's your point? (As if you had one. :lol: )

[johnforbes]

Lynch was chosen only because of her race and gender.

That's the precise opposite of what Martin Luther King preached.

[Clownkicker]

Again, thanks for the platitude, johnny.

But if you have a problem with hypocrisy in politics, why is it you're only upset at Democrats while you give Republicans a pass on far worse things than affirmative action?

^^^^(Rhetorical, of course. We already know the answer.)

Clown, you're supposed to use your Elk log on when you bring Iraq or Bush up to distract from the conversation, you're slipping dude.
