Attorney General Eric Holder on Tuesday compared the new Texas voter ID law to the post-slavery efforts to keep blacks from voting known as a “poll taxes.”

The law was passed last year by the GOP-led state legislature, then signed by Gov. Rick Perry, in an effort to curb voter fraud.

In a speech at the annual NAACP conference, in Houston, Holder said many voters would have to travel “great distances” to get a government-issued photo ID and that some would “struggle” to pay for the requisite paperwork.

“We call these poll taxes,” Holder said.

    This guy is doing everything he can to make sure illegal aliens can vote. Regardless, Texas is a Republican leaning state in presidential elections.

    You just can’t make this stuff up.

    Eric Holder gave a talk today at the annual NAACP conference in Houston. The far left Attorney General slammed the recent state voter ID laws. In order to cover the event as a journalist you had to show a photo ID.

    Sure works well when you have a half black President and a black Attorney Gen. Lies, cheating, stupidity, and blatant ignorance can be covered up with the race card. They don't have just the card they have the whole damn deck.

    Don’t miss the connection.

    The New Black Panther Party (NBPP) chairman wants to remind Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama that their organization “delivered” the president and his administration to office. The New Black Panthers
    According to New Black Panther Chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz:

    If Republicans win the White House, “There will be little mercy or no mercy on the New Black Panther Party”

    The New Black Panthers “delivered” Obama into office

    Obama “owes” the Black Panthers “some favors”

    Obama and Holder showed the Black Panthers “mercy” in their voter intimidation case, where the DOJ controversially dropped charges against the group

    Republicans are the “most powerful enemies in the world” and they “hate” the Black Panthers

    Republicans will brand the Black Panthers “an official hate group, terrorists”

    Does not know how much longer “President Obama and Eric Holder can hold out” in their favor.
