Journalists Required To Show IDs at Eric Holder�s Talk On The Evil of IDs

�Many of those without IDs would have to travel great distances to get them and some would struggle to pay for the documents they might need to obtain them,� Holder said in a speech to the NAACP on Tuesday, referring specifically to a law being implemented in Texas. �We call those poll taxes.�
Too bad every single journalist in the room was subjected to such a harsh form of racism.

Hypocrites. This is about people being bussed in to flood the ballot box with phony votes. This is not about fairness -- they are running scared and feel that their only option is to flood the ballot boxes.
