Sorry if you took offense to my post... that wasn't the intention.

When I read your post I interpreted what you said as simply "Eric Holder will give any black person a pass," which I doubt is the case. My point was why bring the fact that Holder and Jackson are of the same race? In my opinion it's not because of that but because of simple politics (they're on the same side, and come from the same branch).

Did you play the race card? Hmmm... maybe not, but sounds like this was headed that way. Are you allowed to play the race card? Yes. Should you? I don't know.

Happy Thanksgiving.
Alex, thanks for the reply. I somewhat understand your statement now and do not take it personal.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family as well!

:iagree: that's not possible, but let's not play the race card... it's not because of that, but because they're cut from the same cloth.

In my opinion no Republican would have been elected in that district, but what he's done is very unethical...
77346 - I take offense to your post. Not because I am racist but because they play the race card all the time. That's the point I was making! If they can do it ALL THE TIME, it should be OK for me to do it ONCE! If, that is what I did.......... :roll:

Actually, I don't think I even played the race card........
I pointed out an association of race between two people. I said nothing bad about the race. I said I thought it was what Holder would NOT do. Nowhere did I put white against black or vis-a-vis..........

So did I play the race card?

That's not possible! The AG is the same race as him and will not pursue anything! :shock:

Illinois Rep. Jesssie Jackson JUNIOR Resigns

Fox reporting he has Resigned (two weeks after being re-elected). Cites Mental Health issues. Wonder what took him so long to figure that one out!

Anyway, he is gone. Not much more info at this time.

EDIT:
I have been informed the was not really a Reverend (another Dem fallacy revealed). I have changed the posted title to "Rep."

2nd EDIT: Changed title to reflect "JUNIOR". Shows what I know about these guys.......LOL
