AG Eric Holder is trying to compare the time when forcing African Americans to pay a poll tax, or answer obscure questions about the Georgia constitution – common tactics to deny blacks the right to vote 50 years ago – to voter ID laws today.
Is it possible to be so ignorant of history, partisan, and grossly demagogic all at once? Our hysterical AG is trying his best.
Reuters:
“The reality is that – in jurisdictions across the country – both overt and subtle forms of discrimination remain all too common,” Holder, who is black, told hundreds of people attending an annual rally to honor King, the slain civil rights leader, on the steps of the South Carolina state capitol.
“Protecting the right to vote, ensuring meaningful access, and combating discrimination must be viewed, not only as a legal issue – but as a moral imperative,” Holder said. “Ensuring that every eligible citizen has the right to vote must become our common cause.”
The South Carolina law required voters to show a state-issued photo identification card to cast a ballot in an election. Republican supporters said it would prevent voter fraud, but Democratic critics argued it would make it harder for those without driver’s licenses, many of them poor and black, to cast a ballot.

O B U M E R is doing nothing but trying to buy votes. VOTER FRAUD is running rampid in this great country of ours. People should not fear having photo ID for voting in any election. Stuffing the BALLOT BOX is ILLEGAL. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS are the ballot stuffers. You need to be US of A CITIZEN to vote in any election.
Simple as that.
BLACK PEOPLE ARE TO STUPID TO GET A VOTER ID !!!!!! ….. this is what the communist democrats think of their voting base, if your a black , YOUR AN IDIOT !!!!, and therefore not smart enough to grasp the reasoning or intellect to obtain a voter ID, if your Hispanic , YOUR A DUMBASS !!!! and therefore not smart enough to be able to perform the simple task of obtaining a voter ID , if your an American Indian ,YOUR A MORON !!!!, and dont have the brain power needed to get yourself a govt voter ID, if your an ORIENTAL, YOUR AS DUMB AS A STUMP and its not worth our time to explain it to you or your time to even try to figure out how to go about getting a FREE voter ID !!!!!

Protecting whose right to vote? Dead Uncle Charley’s? Illegal alien Juan Valdez’s? People with names like “Mickey Mouse” and “Adolph Hitler”, who can sign re-call petitions in Wisconsin? (If they can sign petitions, who’s to stop them from voting?) Out-of-staters, who vote in more than one state? What do Democrats stand for? Killing babies, voter fraud, stealing elections, government sanctioned immorality, bankrupting our once great nation, demoralizing, gutting and sexualizing the military and “compassionately” forming a class of a people so dependent on government that the similarities between this relationship and a pusher-addict relationship is self-evident. It’s like having a cancer and a doctor who won’t treat it because he thinks the cancer has a “right” to live too. This is insanity hiding within Holder’s nicely pressed suit.

ConservaDave, I work here at Western Journalism. Thank you for taking the time to comment on our articles.
Let’s see. I went to the dentist that I have been going to for 35 years. My insurance carrier has changed. I HAD to present my drivers License to to the secretary(she knows me by sight and name) with my insurance card….BY LAW. I went for a blood test, I HAD to present my Drivers license for identification to Pay for a blood test. I go to vote, I sign a piece of paper they hand me a ballot, I vote.
I am white, I am stopped for a traffic offense, I present my drivers license. I am a Mexican, I am stopped for a traffic offense…..I can’t be asked for identification? I go for FREE healthcare…I can’t be asked for identification?????? Are these people nuts? What is wrong with this picture?
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE IN THE WHITE HOUSE
Legitimate, state issued, honest to goodness ID for prospective voters! Good GOD what an affront to Democrat Party candidates in the United States! How can illegals be expected to walk into 10 different polling places, as they are driven around town by local SEIU volunteers, and cast votes at each if their card has already been computer-scanned after the first illegal vote?? And how can corpses present ID cards to poll workers? Legislation of legal voting procedures would be grossly unfair to Democrat candidates. And naturally that would HAVE to be racist–somehow or other. And what next? Demand that voters must be taxpayers, able to read English, or even Americans? Unthinkable!
