Nutty Leftist Eric Holder: Osama Bin Laden Has the Same Rights as Charles Manson (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, March 16, 2010, 10:00 PM
Attorney General Eric Holder told a House Committee today that Osama Bin Laden deserves the same rights as Charles Manson.
Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) rips Obama’s radical Attorney General:
Fox News, via BreitbartTV: [Attorney General Eric Holder] said the “apt” comparison is to mass murderers like Charles Manson, who is currently serving a life sentence for orchestrating a killing spree in the 1960s. Trying to explain the analogy, Holder said mass murderers like Manson still reserve the right to go before a jury and have the charges against them proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
More… Holder also defended the FBI’s handling of Christmas Day undie bomber Omar Abdulmutallab:
“I’ve heard a lot said that he was only questioned for 50 minutes. That’s a fairly long period of time,” Holder said.
What’s scary is that this kook is serious.
Last week it was revealed that AG Holder failed to reveal 7 legal briefs during his confirmation proceedings.

Holder thinks we aren’t very bright. He thinks everyone on the planet is an American citizen. Well everyone except Israelis.

Holder need to be fired ASAP if you lie on a job application to get hired, you get fired its called fraud.
Opus #6 commented:
Holder is a very poor choice for AG unless you want a man of his ilk in that position, as Obama does. A pro-muslim, pro-terrorist, anti-American must have been hard to find.
jainphx commented:
Holder and Obama are two peas in the same pod, can’t blame Holder without also Obama. They both need to go NOW.
Every single enemy of this country has either been apologized to or backed when removed from office. (Zumaya) This scum never had a good word for the Iranian people that were dying in the streets for freedom, but can call Israel out for building homes in their own Da$$ country.
Please Lord rid us of this evil that has befallen this great nation.
opaobie commented:
Did Holder actually graduate from any college anywhere with a Law Degree? How could ANY Republican have voted to confirm him as AG? Didn’t ANY of them research his background? Why am I even asking these questions? When you think about what he said, you come to the conclusion that he owes Charles Manson an apology.
Major Kong commented:
The only “right” OBL has is to be tossed “right” out the rear end of a KC 130 at 30,000 feet over the Indian Ocean.
ed-209 commented:
Those were some weird questions asked. Charles Manson has the same rights as all the rest of us Americans do, so what is more shocking is what Holder is implying: Bin Laden is entitled to the same rights and constitutional protections that American citizens enjoy. The interrogator should have pointed that out but failed to.

[From a political stance that is leftist, you must legislate to create a just society, and various programs need to exist in order to collect monies needed to even the playing field between rich, middle class, poor and those people who are routinely marginalized by society. Equal rights can be defined as equal access to things that make it possible for people in any societal sector to be successful. Therefore, leftist philosophy would support things like anti-discrimination laws and equal opportunity programs, and would favor taxation, especially of those who make a lot of money, to pay for programs that help provide equality for all.
The far left would argue that there are certain basic needs that must be offered to all. These include things like truly equal education and safety in all schools and programs that would help all children have the financial opportunity to attend college. Far left groups, often termed socialist even if they differ from true definitions of socialism, further argue that a just society cannot be had unless everyone has access to food, safe shelter and medical care. The way to achieve this is through taxation and government implementation of programs that will guarantee these things for all people.
The right political stance equally endorses a just society, but may criticize those who make poor choices and feel that while equal opportunity should exist, a government should not legislate for this. In fact it is argued that social justice is diminished when governments create programs to deal with it, especially when these programs call for greater taxation. Instead, those who have more money should be encouraged to be philanthropic, not by paying higher taxes, which is arguably unjust.
From a religious perspective, you’ll find people all over the political spectrum who argue for social justice. Many Christian groups believe that you bring about justice through Christlike actions of mercy, especially those that help people who have been marginalized by society. Islamic perspective on social justice is similar; one of the Five Pillars of Islam is that all must give to the poor. However, certain sects of Islam promote views of women and men as different; women are not equal to and are subservient to men.]

“Covenant for a New America”
[At a press conference on December 1... the possible Presidential contender said, '...the network that Saddleback has helped to create has as much reach as any institutional force in our culture and has probably a wider reach around the world than just about anything that's going on right now.... I hope one of the things that comes out of this conference that Pastor Rick has emphasized again and again, is no single branch of our society is going do this alone. If government thinks they can do it by themselves they're wrong. Churches have to recognize that they've got to be partners with the government. Business has an enormous role....
"...you know the separation of church and state as a concept of the first amendment the biggest practitioners and the people who advocated most fiercely for it were actually evangelicals.'...]
UCC member Sen. Barack Obama
discusses faith and politics
[Later -- during his interview with United Church News -- Obama continued his thoughts about religion and politics; specifically, the role of religious principles in reaching a balance between national security and social justice concerns.
"I believe that democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal values," Obama said. "Social justice and national security are both universal values, values that may originate for some in their religious beliefs, but are shared by us all."]
”I am certain nothing has done so much to destroy the juridical safeguards of individual freedom as the striving after the mirage
of social justice.”
“I have come to feel strongly that the greatest service I can still render to my fellow men would be that I could make the speakers and writers among them thoroughly ashamed ever again to employ the term ’social justice’.”

Eric Holder and Hillary Rodham Clinton are tied at the hip, they let out 19 Terrorists from prison, some of them that killed New York Police persons ( Summer of 1999). We have Al Qaeda in Washington DC. so we all are fools. They should both be in prison. And BOZO Too!

re: Charles Manson
Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn
That the killers were viewed as heroes by the extreme wing of young revolutionaries hardly helped matters. “Offing those rich pigs with their own forks and knives, and then eating a meal in the same room, far out! The Weathermen dig Charles Manson,” declared Bernardine Dohrn, now a law professor and the wife of the activist Bill Ayers, at a convention of the Students for a Democratic Society.

[In almost the cases, that continuance request was granted. But last week the judge supervising the al-Nashiri trial -- Army Col. James L. Pohl, the chief judge at the Guantanamo Bay war crimes court -- said he would not heed President Obama's request for a 120-day continuance, or delay, in prosecutions of terrorism suspects. Pohl called the president's request "not reasonable" and not "in the interests of justice."]
Gitmo’s Indefensible Lawyers
[Maj. Gen. Hood asked his Islamic cultural adviser to translate. The cover read: "Cruel. Inhuman. Degrades Us All: Stop Torture and Ill-Treatment in the 'War on Terror.'" It was published by Amnesty International in the United Kingdom and portrayed America and its allies as waging a campaign of torture against Muslims around the globe.
"One thread that runs through many of the testimonies from prisons in Afghanistan and Iraq, and from Guantanamo," the brochure read, "is that of anti-Arab, anti-Islamic, and other racist abuse."
How did the detainee get it? More importantly, who gave it to him?
[..]
In a sworn affidavit submitted to the D.C. District Court and obtained by the writers of this article in a Freedom of Information Act request, Maj. Gen. Hood did not equivocate when it came to the Amnesty International pamphlet. “The very nature of this document gives tremendous moral support to those who would strike out against our country,” he stated. “It is not a factual report. Instead it is filled with second and third hand accounts, photos of protests that were staged, inflammatory photos from Iraq and provocative story captions.”
Maj. Gen. Hood noted that many of the captured al Qaeda terrorists held at the camp had been “specifically trained on the Manchester Manual [an al Qaeda training manual discovered at a safe house in Britain],” which “encourages detainees to claim torture and abuse.” He warned that “[e]xamples and vignettes of alleged abuse of other detainees” could be used “to fabricate their own claims of abuse and torture.”
In fact, from al Qaeda’s perspective, the Amnesty International brochure was better than the Manchester Manual. It cued detainees that the abuses at Abu Ghraib “were not an aberration.” The brochure told them that images from the Iraqi prison were consistent with “numerous allegations of torture and ill-treatment reported from detention centres in Afghanistan, Iraq and at Guantanamo Bay.”]

what the fascist left have been aiming for is to “equate” good with evil.. that’s the only way they can appease their conscience in the face of the harsh reality they are trying to escape from because it does not fit in with their ideological utopian matrix.. if there is no good vs evil, then all is good even if [the] all is evil.. – bg

I’m still waiting for an apology from Gloria Toensing, Joe Digenova and other assorted addled-brained Republicans who actually championed Holder’s appointment. Holder is a man of the hard left, with situational ethics, at best. Anyone not blinded by membership in the inside-the-beltway fraternity could see that plainly from day one.

Taxpayers To Foot Bill For Conyer’s Wife’s Appeal
Are you kidding me? Don’t these people ever get enough of our money? Conyer’s makes $174k a year and we have to pay for his wife’s appeal? Pick up the phone when the media calls, Conyers. Once upon a time you people were supposed to be public servants, not the other way around. A deadbeat married to a crook. Welcome to Washington, DC. And if Obama Care passes, we’ll still be paying for their high-end health care coverage while muddling around in some socialist system and paying for whatever unemployed constituents they have helping to keep them in office. The Democrats are bleeding American taxpayers dry.
