    Hans A. von Spakovsky in National Review: A Leadership of Cowards?[^] Why is Eric Holder embarrassed about enforcing civil rights in Noxubee County?

    Attorney General Eric Holder calls the U.S. “a nation of cowards” because we “do not talk enough about race.” I find this ironic, since the Justice Department seems embarrassed about a recent judgment in its favor by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. U.S. v. Ike Brown is a major Voting Rights Act case involving intentional race-based discrimination by local officials in Noxubee County, Miss. When the Fifth Circuit issued its decision on February 27, there was complete silence from Justice. The department typically issues a press release after any significant litigation victory, and the Civil Rights Division trumpets every success. But not here. The silence from the nation’s leading news outlets was also deafening: Not a word was published about the case by the New York Times, the Washington Post, or any other major publication. Why? Because the offensive conduct at issue did not conveniently track with the Left’s view of race discrimination. ... If the races had been reversed, does anyone doubt this would have been front-page news? Or that Eric Holder would have been prominently quoted in a Justice Department press release calling attention to this outrageous discrimination? The Department of Justice should be proud of this victory. If Attorney General Holder is serious about talking about race, perhaps he could start with this case.

                  Really? And what point would that be? Even disregarding the foolisness of the "down to his level" bit, *who* "dragged" you anywhere?

                          I never suggested that personal attacks weren't sometimes funny, just that they were characteristic of Ilion, and should be beneath you. I too laughed, but thought it pointless to poke the troll, as it were. As it was the suggestion just resulted in him attacking us both...

                            But that means we get to play the victim - so we win!
