Associate Attorney General Thomas J. Perrelli, the No. 3 official in the Obama Justice Department, was consulted and ultimately approved a decision in May to reverse course and drop a civil complaint accusing three members of the New Black Panther Party of intimidating voters in Philadelphia during November’s election, according to interviews.

Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler told The Washington Times that the department has an “ongoing obligation” to be sure the claims it makes are supported by the facts and the law. She said that after a “thorough review” of the complaint, top career attorneys in the Civil Rights Division determined the “facts and the law did not support pursuing the claims against three of the defendants.

While the Obama administration has vowed a new era of openness, department officials have refused to answer questions from Republican members of Congress on why the case was dismissed, claiming the information was “privileged, according to congressional correspondence with the department.

How’s that for transparency folks? And where’s the black outrage? It should be noted that Associate Attorney General Thomas Perrelli, raised more than $500,000 for Obama for the presidential election.

Kristen Clarke, director of political participation at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund in Washington, however, confirmed to The Times that she talked about the case with lawyers at the Justice Department and shared copies of the complaint with several persons. She said, however, her organization was “not involved in the decision to dismiss the civil complaint.

There is none. Go figure. All the while, the NAACP had this to say when professor Henry Gates was arrested.

The following is a statement from the Cambridge chapter of the NAACP:

The shock and dismay of the details of the incident that led to the arrest of Professor Henry Louis Gates makes it clear that after 100 years the work of the NAACP continues to be necessary in Cambridge and throughout the world.

The only thing the DOJ actually did was place an injunction which prohibits Samir Shabazz, the asshole with the club, from “brandishing a weapon outside a polling place through Nov. 15, 2012.” He can still dress up in his intimidating paramilitary style uniform and badger people attempting to vote.

From a comment at the Washington Times

So let me get this straight. A white cop arresting a black man for disorderly conduct is racism and acting “stupidly.” But now, it’s okay for black men to dress in jackboots and wield clubs at polling places. What crazy world are we living in? Goodbye America. It was fun while it lasted. I am so ashamed that this has happened, and I regret the country my children will live in.

Welcome to Obama’s world.
