Eric Holder and IRS Administrators Due to Advise Hundreds of African-American Pastors on How to Best Participate in 2012 Election

Representative Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri revealed on MSNBC Tuesday that lawyers from the ACLU, IRS administrators, and even Attorney General Eric Holder will soon be speaking with hundreds of pastors in the African-American community on how they can best comport themselves throughout the 2012 election.
(Related: Obama Does Damage Control Among Christian Pastors Following Gay Marriage Endorsement)
“We will have representatives from nine denominations who actually pastor somewhere in the neighborhood of about 10 million people,” he said, “and we’re going to first of all equip them with the information they need to know about what they can say and what they cannot say in the church that would violate their 501c3 status with the IRS.” [Emphasis added]
While they won’t specifically tell people whom to vote for, the respected speakers will discuss “draconian” (hint) voter identification laws, and the Congressional Black Caucus expects the move will only help the Obama’s campaign.
Watch the clip, below:
Attorney General Eric Holder has been under fire almost since the first day of his term, for holding biases in such a high office. He largely ignored voter intimidation by the New Black Panthers because it “demeans [his] people,” despite the crime that was committed. And while apparently the taxpayer-funded IRS and Justice Department are fine subtly contributing to Obama’s re-election campaign, they have been known to disproportionately audit Tea Parties and other conservative gatherings.
Reports have noted that Obama alienated members of the African American community after endorsing gay marriage and overseeing an increase of the African American unemployment rate to roughly 14% (nearly 35% for teenagers). Perhaps this is damage control?
“We want to let [the pastors] know that there is a theological responsibility to participate in the political process,” Cleaver summarized.

Posted on May 29, 2012 at 6:35pmAs I have said before, the IRS jackboots is Obama’s equivalent to a Republican Guard, the Brown Shirts of the Third Reich, and any other perversity one can imagine those with the fixed mental attitudes of dictators can, and will do. This, I believe is why there have been 4,000 new hires in this abominable criminal enterprise…

Posted on May 29, 2012 at 6:38pmThis could be a plan to tick-off blacks so much that they riot. Obama still needs more of the “bottom up” to declare martial law.
I wouldn’t put it past Holder and Obama to throw black Church members under the bus.

Look! I‘ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it. But before I do, please go and vote for the best candidate to run this country next year. If thats Dear Leader or Romney thats up to you to decide. But the fact is, Dear Leader will not step down and or will not lose this election. These people have come to far to stop now, this is coming down to revolution in the streets with the socialists, communists, marxists leading the charge. This is what I believe the average American Joe on the street does not fully understand and that is America has been taken over by zealots at the highest levels of government.

Obama, Holder and fellow hoodlums don’t want voter identification
but they do want to misuse & abuse taxpayer’s money

Posted on May 30, 2012 at 1:50amWe all should note that the IRS has now been given the right to limit free speech. What is more important, our freedom of speech or what? I remember one Pastor in Detroit who came flat out and said, he did not care if his church lost their IRS exemption because he would tell the truth no matter what! One thing for sure is that those attending church cannot be shut up!
As far as going to church and suggesting one is a Christian, I know those that are would never vote Democrat in the first place. “My people perish for lack of knowledge”, and “murderers shall not see heaven!” We know race has nothing to do with it except being misguided by some as that Pastor aforementioned had said. We all should insist on all our freedoms.

Exactly right. Laws are nothing more than suggestions that rely on voluntary submission of the populace in order to be effective. I, like you and many, many, many, many others, understand that we don’t need a law or a paper guarantee to legitimize or carry out self-evident GOD GIVEN rights.
Fences only keep honest people out.
The difference between now and 100 years ago is that the cognitive recognition of being under siege by any person or entity has been summarily dumbed down by the public educational system and reinforced by the fraudcast media.

But, they’ve seen “the light” and God trumps color, and, if they are brave enough to vote (with poll workers probably “looking over their shoulders,” they will not vote for Obama this time, but will choose the United States of America over a “poser,” over communism, socialism and humanism. But they realize that it may cost them personally if they are caught!
