Amy Goodman interviews (18:04) former Justice Department Attorney Joe Rich and Bertha Lewis of New York’s ACORN on today’s Democracy Now! Rich, who left Justice in 2005 after 36 years in the Civil Rights Division, was the head of the voting section from 1999 to 2005. He discusses the politicization of virtually all elements of the Justice Department including the administration’s emphasis on voter fraud with aims at suppressing the vote….
Bertha Lewis of ACORN, a group that has experienced great success registering minority voters, discusses how the Bush administration and the right wing media have targeted and intimidated ACORN with false allegations of voter fraud. Or, as Lewis bluntly states: “Yes Virginia, there is a vast right wing conspiracy”.
Altogether, the interviews help fill out the story behind the US Attorney Scandal or “The Underlying Crime” that Brad has been all over the last week.
Additional note from DES: More on Joseph Rich and the politicization of the Justice Department here.
The centralized voting is linked to the Iraq war and is necessary to position people in government who we do not elect.
We are to be completely frustrated with government and bankrupt from the Iraq war.
The 1992 UN summit explained it all quite simply, surprised Brad has not caught on yet as to why his work is so hard and the people in power will never allow true election results.
Most people won’t take the time to watch this whole video, and that is a shame.
It points out so vividly why and how the Bushkovics have eviserated the most sacred of our guardians of trust – the civil rights division of the Attorney General’s office.
Without fail, Bush, Cheney and Gonzales MUST be impeached, and it needs to happen NOW. (Yes, I recently learned, the Attorney General, an appointed and confirmed by congress position, may be impeached.)
The only good TV news: Democracy NOW! on Free Speech TV and LINK-TV (2 best channels, too), and the INN Report only of Free Speech TV (only on DISH).
It appears that there is movement afoot to use some of these political appointees to cover up the attorneygate and Rove Hatch Act violations:
(Raw Story).
You would have to be blind to not realize how political all the Bush appointed prosecutors and judges are; example 5 Border Agents given jail time for trying to stop smuggelers ALL PROSECUTED BY JOHNNY SUTTON AND JUDGE KATHLEEN CORDONE. Does anyone else see a connection? Hello ! And one of the smugglers received $80,000.00 government (you and me) money and has bought a ranch in Mexico with his (our) money. Of course the famous one is suing us for $5,000,000.
This is NOT illegal ?
