Surprise! More wicked hypocrisy from the Justice Department

Today's instance comes from the Civil Rights Division (another shocker). The DOJ has refused to investigate ACORN. It has swept the Black Panthers' revolting voter intimidation in Philadelphia under the rug. But when some loser at his computer threatens La Raza, the big guns come out.

Vincent Johnson of Brick, New Jersey stands charged with sending threatening e-mails to several pro-amnesty illegal immigrant groups, including La Raza, the Puerto Rican Legal Defense Fund, and the League of United Latin American Citizens. The e-mails contain violent threats, but they could have easily been handled by state police. "Nutjob Sends Threatening E-mails" isn't exactly a shocking development. Most political organizations get them every day.

But when Obama's cronies at La Raza are under attack, you can be sure the entire Civil Rights Division will swing into action. (Republican voters in Philadelphia are a different story.) Of course, this entire case has nothing to do with civil rights. The e-mails threaten illegal aliens, not Hispanics. File this under "Hypocrisy" while we stare at our watches and wait for the DOJ to lift a finger against ACORN.

Illegal alien extremists dancing in the streets thanks to Obama

Yes, La Raza is clicking its heels today. Barack Obama has always been an extremist on the issue of illegal immigration, whether he tries to hide it or not. Now comes word that, at a time when our southern border is still plagued by illegal aliens and drug violence, Obama's budget cuts funding to the Border Patrol.

It's our largest federal budget in history at over $3 trillion, but one thing Obama doesn't have money for is border security. His budget will reduce the number of Border Patrol agents, even though the entire 2,000 mile expanse is guarded by only 20,000 agents. The president is also pulling $226 million from the virtual fence being built along the border, even though the fence has had great success at keeping illegal aliens out.

So what are Obama's real priorities? His stimulus gave millions of dollars to La Raza and the League of United Latin American Citizens, two extremist groups sympathetic to illegal aliens. A bill introduced by Rep. Luis Gutierrez is winding through Congress that would give amnesty to illegals already in the United States. And the Justice Department is currently at war with Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, whose aggressive tactics have gone a long way towards battling illegal immigration.
