Obama, Holder Have Freshly Baked Reasons to Apologize

Ari L. NoonanEditor's Essays

 “Truth is not a left-wing value,” the smartest political observer in America tells his audiences as daily evidence overflows his Los Angeles office.

Cheating at the polls comes as naturally to this crowd as breathing.

That is why in recent years, as Republicans have gained control of states, they have passed a passel of stern voting laws designed to make liberal cribbing more complicated.

The loudest, most ludicrous music last summer emanated from black and white liberal racists, all professional victims. They claimed that voter ID laws would suppress the vote of the Democrat Party’s three-cornered base, blacks, browns and that old standby “the poor.”

Even they had to know they were spewing bologna. Their reasoning was so obviously illogical.

Bring on Crying Towels

Throughout the summer season and into the autumn, liberal racists – led by Messrs. Obama, Holder and their Me, Too choir – cried like overaged brats that photo IDs were proof of Republican racial bigotry. All the GOP was attempting was to reduce historic Democrat chicanery at the polls. Led by the two main Washington clowns, lawsuits were filed – sort of like suing because the sky is too blue or too high.

Three weeks ago today, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, North Carolina, one of the targeted states, posted turnout data for last month’s election. (You are not likely to read about this in the left-wing Los Angeles Titanic. Fastidiously, they ignore news embarrassing to their liberal readership.)

Final score:

Turnout up in every North Carolina category. Messrs. Obama, Holder and \fellow  stooges were 100 percent wrong.

  • Percentage of non-Hispanic blacks who voted rose from 38.5 in 2010 to 41.1 last month.
  • Percentage of registered black voters who actually voted increased from 40.3 to 42.2.
  • The black share of total votes rose from 20.1 percent to 21.4 percent.
  • The total of black voters leaped 16 percent, from 539,646 to 628,004.

Any questions, Mr. President?

You will grow old and decrepit waiting for Messrs. Obama and Holder to apologize – too many other lies and vastly wrong estimates are in line ahead of it.
