A Bush administration civil rights appointee says the conservative media uproar over allegations the Justice Department is protecting the New Black Panther Party from voter-intimidation prosecution is a "fantasy" designed to oust Attorney General Eric Holder and harm the Obama administration.

"This doesn’t have to do with the Black Panthers; this has to do with their fantasies about how they could use this issue to topple the administration,” Abigail Thernstrom, former vice chairwoman of the US Commission on Civil Rights, told Politico.

“My fellow conservatives on the commission had this wild notion they could bring Eric Holder down and really damage the president,” Thernstrom said.

4. a bit of controversy over Thernstrom at Free Republic

This woman is a fraud. She has ties to Bill Clinton and worked on behalf of leftist groups. Megyn Kelly needs to get her on the show and ask her questions.

(...)

Also, does Politico still ignores what the NBP scumbag said about killing “cracker babies?”


(...)

But we all loved her when she took on Clinton during his “conversation about race.”

(...)

She was on the right side of that conversation. No telling where she is now.
