President Barack Obama’s choice to lead the Transportation Security Administration withdrew his name today. Erroll Southers said he was pulling out because his nomination had become a lightning rod for those with a political agenda… The White House said Wednesday that the Obama had accepted Southers’ withdrawal with great sadness and continued to believe he would have made an excellent TSA administrator, via Instapundit.

Here’s some background on Southers from a previous post
Barack Obama’s Transportation Security Administration nominee Erroll Southers, who previously lied to Congress in a signed affidavit, now calls pro-lifers terrorists in a recently discovered video.

This is the same guy that will head the organization that screens passengers getting on airplanes.
Life News reported:

President Barack Obama’s nominee to head the agency charged with keeping American travelers safe from terrorism thinks pro-life advocates are terrorists. A new video shows Transportation Security Administration nominee Erroll Southers including pro-life advocates in a list of terrorist groups.

The new video from 2008 shows Southers responding to a documentary-style interview question about terrorist organizations.

The documentary asked Southers, “Which home-grown terrorist groups pose the greatest danger to the U.S.”

Southers explained, “Most of the domestic groups that we pay attention to here are white supremacist groups. They’re anti-government, in most cases anti-abortion, they are usually survivalist type in nature, identity oriented.”

HotAir also points out that he also said that global warming deserves the same parity as the War on Terror man-caused disasters.

And, David Freddoso points out that Erroll blames our relations with Israel and France make us a terror target. This kook rattled off every leftwing nut conspiracy in one interview. Good work.

  1. Man! They are dropping like flies!

  2. Sounds like the perfect Chairman nominee….disattached, dishonest, aloof and a complete nut job…

  3. Well, I suppose there is so much good to come out of Brown’s win. This guy is an absolute nutjob. Apparently, no matter how much denial on the left, they got the message that there is more scrutiny than there was a year ago.

  4. It’s time to cut the swagger of these black dopes whose stupidity is only exceeded by their arrogance. The country is getting a good look at the downside of affirmative action, where skin color often trumps things like maturity and common sense. Take a good look at the people surrounding this president, America. Take a good look at the president himself. This may be the most economically illiterate and geopolitically ignorant administration we’ve ever seen. But, man, can they talk trash, especially when they’re reading it off a teleprompter.

  5. Brown — Saved the Supreme Court from a whole raft of Dodo-mayors

  6. It is just one of a litany of examples of an idiot being chosen by a bigger idiot chosen by too many idiots.

  7. Obama – Now please nominate a real stand-up security guy (or gal). Do not nominate someone just to advance your socialistic/ political machine vote buying agenda.

  8. Just when I thought this guy was really stupid he does something smart like step down! Let us hope he is the first of many of Obamadrama’s crowd to leave the ship.
    P.S. THANK YOU MASS VOTERS!!!!!!

  9. Now if that Jennings character would just quit as Safe School Czar.

  10. ++

    he didn’t mention the Black Panthers of which Obama’s Harvard sponsor/mentor was a co-founder, not to mention Wright, or the Weatherman, one of which works in the Obama administration..

  14. all is examples were isolated extremists. there were no groups planning, training,and financing these incidents. these meet the definition of “man caused disasters”. all the muslim terrorists have large well financed groups supporting planning and directing every attack.
