Eric Holder Praises Al Sharpton During Speech

CNS News has found some interesting video of Attorney General Eric Holder praising controversial Rev. Al Sharpton during a speech at Sharpton’s National Action Network conference on Wednesday.

CNS has the quotes:

At the opening of NAN’s 14th annual convention in Washington, D.C., the attorney general first thanked MSNBC’s Rev. Sharpton “for your partnership, your friendship, and your tireless efforts to speak out for the voiceless, to stand up for the powerless, and to shine a light on the problems we must solve, and the promises we must fulfill.”

The glowing speech is curious considering Sharpton has been an advocate for Zimmerman’s guilt before he was even charged with a crime.

“MSNBC’s Sharpton has led several rallies, shouting Arrest Zimmerman Now!‘ and has called for civil disobedience and an “occupation” in Sanford, Fla., if an arrest is not made,” CNS notes.

You can watch part of the speech below:

Holder went on to talk about Trayvon Martin: “I know that many of you are greatly — and rightly — concerned about the recent shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, a young man whose future has been lost to the ages.”

He added that the federal investigation is ongoing, and if it turns up anything, “we will take appropriate action.”

      Watch Holdup praise Rev Al and interfere in the Martin/Zimmermann affair. Anything to take the heat off of the Fast and Furious investigation it’s called CYA. I ave no doubt that he and Rev Al are buddies and admire each other. They’re cut from the same cloth. When a black shoots a white or a black shoots a black you don’t see either of them around, do you.

    I think it is a disgrace that we have a so-called Attorney General who supports a man (and I use that word lightly) who supports and encourages violence and hatred !!! It is so sad to me that in this GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS . . . we have “leaders” who corrupt, instigate and promote violence and seek true division to reach their goals. I fear that if something isn’t done ~ this country is DOOMED ! Please America – wake up and let’s all speak “while we can”. No …….. let’s all make sure WE DO SPEAK OUR MIND AND THAT WE ALWAYS CAN The vote last time was for “change” –
    We got it alright – but look at the results we got. We got a country divided, more hatred than I have ever seen and violence suggested as a solution. This is the MOST important election this country has ever had. God Help Us – we had better do it right this time. This could be our LAST CHANCE ~ Our last chance for survival as a “free country” !. I truly love my country, but it’s beginning to look more like a foreign country to me. If you stop and think of the change it has gone through in three years it will amaze you. Who thought????? I know I am shocked at what has happened to the greatest, most loving and thoughtful country in the world. We were loved at one time, but now ~ I think we are hated more than anything. Who’s fault is that?????

    At first I thought unbelievable! However, on second thought, it is very believable. It is their agenda to divide and conquer! They want to cause civil and social unrest. They, the Obama Whitehouse, do not believe in synergism.
    The President is responsible for any harm that comes to others because of his speaking out about the Martin case. He, as a leader, gave the go ahead for violence against others. Totally abhorrent behavior from a President, who is supposed to be serving all of the people. I am appalled, and saddened at his behavior.
    Even Trayvon’s mother said this morning she thought it was an accident. She at least has some scruples. I am truly sorry for the Martins losing their son. Along with the Zimmermans; as it appears their son’s life lost too. However, that is why we have a court system in place. A jury will decide. We have seen many cases that the police did not arrest people right away. Let’s please allow the Mr. Zimmerman his day in court.
    In my neighborhood we have had people banging on our doors late at night and running away. I only hope they keep running away! Scary!

      Well, our good ‘ole Republican full of BS Boehner’ has asked that the investigation for Fast and Furious be ‘backed off of’. Guess he lies just as good as the liberal democrats. Maybe he is a lion in sheep’s clothing?? He also refuses to address the legality of Obama to be President.

      Fired? This man used his office to allow criminals to get guns in an attempt to create a crisis and increase gun regulations. In doing so he caused the death of U.S. citizen protecting our border and who knows how many others have died at the business end of the 2000 plus illegal purchases they allowed to walk.
      Holder will be brought to justice as soon as Obama is out. He‘ll probably flee the country but he’ll be caught and charged.
