DOJ Will Not Investigate Attack of Civil Rights Activist
by Tom FittonIf you needed any more evidence of the level of corruption that exists inside the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ) when it comes to enforcing civil rights statutes, here it is.
On March 15, 2011, civil rights activist Ted Hayes testified, by invitation, before the Judiciary Committee of the Maryland House of Delegates, against providing taxpayer dollars for in-state tuition benefits for illegal aliens. Shortly after his testimony, Mr. Hayes was subjected to vicious retribution by a radical Hispanic group known as “The Timmytop,” which posted a hate video on a YouTube channel that included racist smears and death threats.
The video begins with the message “[expletive] you ‘Mayate,’” which is reportedly a racist and derogatory term used to smear African-Americans and “dark skinned” people. The video then streams a series of racist images including: The silhouette of a man hanging from a noose; photos of Mr. Hayes adjacent to photos of monkeys and bananas; and doctored photos of Mr. Hayes pictured with a gun next to his head. The video, which runs two minutes and nine seconds, concludes with the message “Your [sic] FREE Now Mayate go back to Africa.”
The video has since been removed from its original placement on YouTube, but it is available on Judicial Watch’s website here. (If you choose to watch it, please be warned that it is extremely offensive and unfit for young eyes.)
You might think that this type of vile behavior would earn the interest of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. (That’s what we thought, too.) After all, this is the division at the DOJ that is responsible for investigating and prosecuting violations of civil rights, including, and perhaps especially, those that could have a chilling effect on the First Amendment. In this case, you have the intimidation of a witness through death threats and humiliation.
Judicial Watch filed a complaint with the DOJ regarding the matter on April 28, 2011, calling for a full investigation. And recently we received a response directly from the office of Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez (of Black Panther scandal fame). It was short and sweet:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted an investigation into the matter referenced in your letter. We and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California reviewed the results of that investigation and concluded that this incident does not constitute a prosecutable violation of the federal criminal civil rights statutes. Accordingly we cannot authorize a criminal prosecution of this matter.
That’s it. No further explanation. No review of the evidence “reviewed” by the DOJ. Not even a concession that the treatment of Mr. Hayes was reprehensible and wrong. Just a flat out rejection and a lame reference to the DOJ’s general commitment to “combating violations of federal law that are motivated by racial or ethnic bias.”
So here we have another in a long line of examples of corruption at the Obama DOJ concerning the enforcement of civil rights laws. Apparently the enforcement of civil rights at the DOJ no longer has anything to do with violations of the law. It’s all about racial preferences and partisan politics.
Put another way, had Ted Hayes been a left-wing activist testifying on behalf of illegal alien tuition and attacked by white “conservatives,” Perez would have sprung into action. Trust me on that.
How do I know? Just look at the record!
First, consider the Black Panther scandal discussed in the first Weekly Update story. The DOJ dismissed it’s own voter intimidation lawsuit filed against members of Black Panthers, who hurled racial epithets and threatened white voters at a polling station in 2008. The Obama adminstration said no political appointees were involved in this decision. In fact, Perez himself testified to this effect. This testimony was false. JW uncovered evidence that indeed political appointees at the highest levels inside the Obama DOJ were involved. And why is this important?
According to The Washington Post, “[DOJ attorney J. Christian] Adams and a Justice Department colleague have said the [Black Panther] case was dismissed because the department is reluctant to pursue cases against minorities accused of violating the voting rights of whites.”
Describing the environment over at the Obama DOJ, Christopher Coates, a DOJ attorney, testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights that there exists at the DOJ “…a deep-seated opposition to the equal enforcement of the Voting Rights Act against racial minorities and for the protection of whites who have been discriminated against.”
So, we know that the DOJ is involved in the race-based selective enforcement of civil rights laws. (Our friends (and client) over at Pajamas Media have also exposed the radical leftists being planted in the career ranks at DOJ, which further explains why a conservative seeking protection can get no justice at Justice.)
Now, Mr. Hayes is black. But he’s not in left-wing lock-step with the Obama administration on the issue of illegal alien tuition. And his attackers just happen to be part of a key voter block for the Obama 2012 re-election campign. So Mr. Hayes evidently is not entitled to any protection under law.
Remember, too, the immigration issue addressed by Mr. Hayes in the testimony that led to threats on his life. The Obama DOJ has taken a “La Raza” approach to the issue, allowing illegal alien sanctuary cities to thrive, while attacking states that want to crack down on illegal aliens. The Obama administration has also begun dismissing deportation cases against a wide range of illegal aliens, including those convicted of violent crimes.
Mr. Hayes is on the opposite side of the fence of Obama on these issues. And it is his politics that seem to define how the DOJ responded to his case. Which is just shameless and unlawful. This is yet another scandal in the Obama/Holder DOJ that ought to result in a new attorney general.

This administration is the most lawless administration I've seen in my whole 66 years of life. They make Nixon look like a saint. Even Clinton, who riled me a lot, has more integrity than this bunch and I never thought I would say that.
Illegal immigrants, committing the crimes U.S. Citizens will not, and protected by Eric "Guns for Mexican Gangsters" Holder. Gear up for 2012 and save the Republic.
These people ( ALL at the DOJ! ) need to be in prison for violating the LAW!!! How dare they divide this country into black/white as to WHO they decide to prosecute!!???
Holder needs Impeached…. and then put in Prison for the rest of his natural life.
As soon as Obama is out of Office there are many who served Obama who may be gong away for a very long time.
Get the Special Prosecutor Team together. When the truth comes out about this Dept of Justice it will be the scandal of the decade! Start aggressive investigations and prosecutions for the next year! America wants the truth!
Right. because they are a bunch of commie traitors.
Under "You Lie!" hussein and his imbecile AG (and Black Panther Party supporter and defender) holder, the Department of IN-Justice has become a sham of a joke of a travesty of a parody of a farce of a law-respecting and law-enforcing organization. It's time for the total failure, racist, incompetent joke and disgrace to America known as “holder” to be fired. And, if the DOJ continues to not do the proper job, IT MUST BE DE-FUNDED.
I would really like to see that FBI report and the FBI agent who wrote it saying nothing illegal was done..
Wonder if that is really what that report said.?
We need some people at Justice to step forward and RAT these traitors out…Before it is too late for
all of us..
By the way..you will also be protecting yourself from prosecution during the Palin-perry Administration…
Why would you expect the DOJ to actually work for justice?
These are the same people who gave us the 'Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act'.
Look at what they call their various initiatives, departments and laws, what these things do is always the opposite of what they say.
Does the Department of Education educate anyone?
Does the Department of Agriculture grow anything?
Does the Environmental Protection Agency really protect the environment?
Does the Department of Homeland Security 'secure' our homeland?
Agree with you. The only way that Obama can get votes is to import Illegals and Muslims and bribe everyone else, and his "cover-man" Holder works overtime with Guns for Mexicans. This entire Admin is treasonous. Start the trials Special Prosecutors.
Nothing to see here folks–move along!!
Are there any areas where Barry Soetoro, or his administration have not deceived, or lied to the American people???
Right on! They need to be prosecuted and given the highest sentences for High Crimes against a Nation! and Abuse of Power, breaking Immigration Laws, refusing to enforce our Legal Immigration Laws, Dereliction of Duty, Failure to uphold their Oath to uphold the Constitution, and Un-American Activities that require investigation & prosecution.
~ Easy to do if we can get some Prosecutors that aren't tainted with quid-pro- quos. Comeon you Attorneys, start the trials!
Completely agree. If someone would start the trial it will be easy. There are so many treasonous Laws that have been broken! The trial should go on for a long time!
The promotions of the three ATF Supervisors, Mr. Nowell, Mr. Voth, and Mr. McMahon are illegal bribery! Treason of the highest order.
oh and don't forget, they are putting polling booths in casinos and I don't know if the prison one went thru or not, but I know the casino ones were put in.
Here's what we get when you allow for Affirmative Action and other race stacking measures that give preferential treatment solely based upon how much melanin you have within your skin. It's another form of reparations and is completely the opposite of my upbringing. I lived through the 60's as a kid and race was discussed heavily. Back then we all were led to believe that we just need to to treat everyone equally. I guess that was code for everyone equally except those with more melanin…….
Right out there in plain site, they do this now. Double standards and racist at that.

This Regime is more racist than Lester Maddox's democratic reign in Georgia in the '60's! How can democrats continue to be too blind to see it?
Short answer……NO….but you knew that.
How does it feel to have been conquered from within by real enemies of freedom and justice?….they plan more: for they intend not to return power in any election process. These overLords point towards the Chinese Communist model for controlling the masses….that's you. Pork 'em until they blister….prepare and focus..
Well he does let the truth slip one and a while.
"…fundamentally transform America…."
"…energy prices would necessarily skyrocket…"
"…share the wealth…"
"…we've been to 57 states…."
"….I am a dirty communist liar…"
Ok maybe I made up that last one.
Sure I did…I'm glad most are awake, because there's many out there still fast asleep.

One poiitical party handed these scum off on us. The DNC! And with help from the MSM. Obama and holder (and others) are not qualified to serve where they are.
There was no vetting.
Much of the union agitation and strife is to push the DNC into more stupid and irrational moves!
Democrats better learn that to save their party is to save their country, or let the union radicals in office and out destroy both.
The electoral college may be in confusion this time! Trying to find a sane Democrat is getting tougher to do.
I can’t wait till this out of control tyrannical government is blown out at the ballot box in the next election; they aren’t even going to know what hit them. I wonder if Obumble will go willingly or will he suspend the election.
He was honest when he promised to fundamentally change America.
Also, he ummm….hmmm. Nope, that seems to be it from what I can see.
The DOJ is the corrupt core of a corrupt administration in my opinion.
Eric Holder is, bar none, the absolute worst Attorney General we've ever had in this country., He's a farce, and should be disbarred.
Eric Holder is the Attorney Genital.
When are House Republicans going to bring this matter to the attention of the taxpayers and then do something about it? They are as much at fault for knowing this is going on and doing nothing about it!
As soon as Holder is without a job, when a Republican comes in….with someone who has integrity as the head of the Justice Dept…then bring the suit forward.
NOTHING is going to be done in this LAZY and CORRUPT Obama administration.
At this point, I wonder why we're not like the other countries that are rioting in the streets over their governments behavior. Why are we so laid back about the laws that are being broken? Do we think that if we wait long enough, these problems will just go away? Let me tell you, the more you let any government get away with, the more their going to stretch the limits of what they can get away with. Millions of Americans should be in Washington standing at the front door of the White house demanding that they follow the laws of this land.
But will anyone have the stones to prosecute them?
But the complainant in the case in question is BLACK!
There is no more time to ask why government gets away with their repeated tyrannies against us, now is the time ask ourselves why we let them get away with it to begin with…
Another dereliction of duty by our Attorney General and Dept of Justice. Another story that will be spiked by the "establishment" Media.
Did you know: "The three supervisors have been given new management positions at the agency's headquarters in Washington. They are William G. McMahon, who was the ATF's deputy director of operations in the West, where the illegal trafficking program was focused, and William D. Newell and David Voth, both field supervisors who oversaw the program out of the agency's Phoenix office." ….. LA Times.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la...
Payoff to quiet key persons involved? Part of an ATF/DoJ cover up? Another story that will be spiked by the "establishment" media. Where are the calls for Holder's resignation? Where are the investigative reports by Obama's "establishment" media. …….. crickets chirping…. gunshots in the distance…. widows and children crying.
Where's the JUSTICE??????
I have contacted my senator about this… not even a reply back.
This administration has set back race relations in our country for a generation……..
probably closer to 50 years.
It'll take decades to undo the damage of these thugs and gangsters.
Where's the justice????? It "took the last train to the coast…….."
Holder had to be sued by pajamas media to release the names of his radical nominees in the education system.
Civil rights ? Only if you are the right color.
http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/every-single-one-the...
Let's just go ahead and call it its' proper name ….. The Department of Injustice!
Dream on. Obama DOJ didn't even try to prosecute some of the "war criminals" from the Bush administration. It's part of the deal independent of political affiliation. No one from the Obama administration is going to get prosecuted either. Maybe Perry will shoot someone if he is elected, but nothing beyond that.
Maybe, just maybe, Holder and his ilk along with his butt daddy obamao are just too lazy to their jobs. That could be the only reason for thier seeming biased and inept work. Couldn't be anything else.
I will vote for the candidate who will actually get rid of all the stuff Obama and possibly others have done and if they will be brave enough to throw his and others like Holder and Pelosi; etc. in prison.
Holder said, "he not be my kinda peeps"
The New York Times has Barack Obama's, (better known these days as "Captain Bullshi_) new #1 best seller on sale as of today. Price is negotiable:

Doncha' know? ONLY WHITES HAVE THE CAPACITY TO COMMIT HATE CRIMES.
as long as we get a new atty gen with enough guts to go after all these people holder belongs in jail
Hahaha Obama, you moron. Thanks Tater! Florida gets a AAA rating from Standard and Poors! with a TEA PARTY Governor! Oh so sweet!
~ Oh man Tater, you are some researcher. If you ever want to make some money on the side, you could get a job at Fox News, or with Breitbart just finding good articles and news links. This has to burn the Dem Socialists who try to bad-mouth we Tea Party Majority Americans, aka, The Silent Majority that are now forced to be activists because the Dem Commies have gone too far.
Follow the ever increasing number of "Shred It" trucks busy eradicating any all evidence at the DOJ and government offices nation wide. Proof… uh, not a shred of evidence sir!
Yeah that's a scarry period between him losing and leaving the White house.
Obama has swung into campaign mode and realizes he's not done enough for the brown vote.
Expect less enforcement and more executive orders of de facto amnesty.
Holder is by far the worst attorney general in that last 50 years
He is all about his agenda – justice not even a consideration –
I say the President should be check – but wait it is Obama – he is also is the worst in the last 50 years
(Nifty "Brazil" reference on the nick: I like it!)
It's Orwellian. Literally. It's straight out of "1984." The Ministry of Truth was all about propaganda; the Ministry of Peace was all about war; the Ministry of Love was (this is for you, HT) Information Retrieval.
Orwell was a mere 27 years too pessimistic, it would appear.
We are really a banana republic under this guy.
The left one…
Is the DOJ doing anything these days?
We have a NO JUSTICE Department of Justice Department that is reserving justice for “THEIR” own kind of people only. Which happen to be the people who want to blow up/destroy America and the friends of Obama (FOB). Equal protection under the law is “old” law that is being replaced by FOB law. Are we being set up for martial law after he loses the election and refuses to step down? Think about all the court orders he has ignored.
Look, I agree that video was a vile, hate-filled testament to man's ability to be cruel to his fellow man. It is also a sample of the hate-sauce in which the left simmers.
But I really wouldn't expect the justice to act on something like this – it's probably some punk teenager with a chip on his shoulder.
Where is the House on these issues??? Why are they not looking into this?? By not mounting investigations, they are just as culpable as the criminals in the doj.
NOT in this criminal administration!!
Eric Holder's function at DOJ is misunderstood: he is Obama's gatekeeper and his muscle. We should expect no more and no less than what we have been getting from that department.
Holder and the whole corrupt bunch should be fired and Prosecuted!!! The gun running" fast and furious" operation alone should have been cause enough!

The video sounds extremely hateful (I have no interest in watching it), and the group that put together the video needs to die a slow death, but has the DoJ ever prosecuted people for Youtube videos (or for that matter, racist cartoons or racist jokes?). I suspect not, and I don't want them to start. Its not that I'm not opposed to racism, but I don't think that government should prosecute thoughtcrime, even when that crime takes the form of a repulsive video.
Sounds to me like the guy who filed the complaint was more interested in scoring political points than anything. If someone threatens you and you are in fear for your life, you contact local police, you don't contact the Department of Justice (unless local police refuse to act, an allegation no one has made).
The one that always gets squeezed by the harness strap when the 'chute deploys!
Hey lets get it straight people Eric only lies when he opens his pie hole….and he knew nothing of the guns for tacos deal …..either….so there ….he is honest as long as he doesn't open his dumbass mouth….
If that video is okay… lets edit Ted Hayes out and edit NObama in… What a hoot that would be! They've already deemed the video legal… just sayin…
I think everyone has pretty well figured out that Holder is both crooked and a racist. My remark here is directed to the ring finger of his right hand in the picture that accompanies the article. It looks like a university class ring. Now, I wonder if we could see Mr. Holder's transcripts from his undergraduate and law schools? The man has made so many stupidly racist decisions that I have to think he was passed through school because of his race. (Mmm, like Barack Obama or Barry Soetero?) I guess we'll never know.
i bet if it was a cracka in that office you would feel a lot different, you no good cracka.
you think the DOJ divided this country? when is the last time a black sat at your table?
I hate to break it to you but the "civil rights movement" in the 60's was NEVER about equality. You got lied too and they still teach the lie. It is straight up Marxism 101 that took place in the 60's. Some are MORE equal than others. And well here we are today.
The trolls just keep getting sillier and sillier. Oh, how I long for the old days, when they could at least spell.
my point was received rather I can spell or not…cracka.
When was the last time you had a white family over for dinner??!! Don't you DARE try to paint me as a racists!!! And YES I think that Obama AND his crony Eric Holder ARE dividing this country!!!!
NEVER!! unlike you, I admit to being a racist and my people's history in this country gives me just cause.
So when was this country ever together? OH!! I know, the first two hours after 9/11.
Crawl back under your garbage pile you cockroach!
If you really think you made a point, you are sadly mistaken. The only point you made was that you are a silly troll who has nothing to add to the conversation except vitriol and hate. That is the state of the modern progressive movement these days. My comment was a truthful statement about a rogue administration who daily proves it hates white America. And you just also proved you hate white America. I simply hate corruption, no matter what the color of the perpetrator.
good come back.
"vitriol and hate" and "it hates white America"…..why is it white folk have such a hard time swallowing their own meds? You people invented vitriol and hate and if you can't beat em' then got damn it, join em'.
"And you just also proved you hate white America"..let me tell you something white person, if every Black person in this country focused in on hating just one white person each day of the year for one year, we still wouldn't display the amount of hate you people have displayed. But I keep forgetting that white folk have picky memories.
You know, I really feel sorry for you. You don't know me from Adam and yet you think you know all about me. I don't hate people, I hate their actions. I hate all actions that are contrary to getting along with one another. There is not one action of mine that you could point to that would show I had ever displayed hate towards another person, no matter what their color. You are pitiful.
Thank you for your pity but you can save it. Just like you people paint all Black people with the same brush, I do you. White people have done nothing but terrorize Black people in this country and abroad for hundreds of years. You my not hate but your people sure as hell do and you people will burn for the hell you've rained down on my people. You really need to open a history book and examine your handy work, you start right here http://withoutsanctuary.org/
How old are you? "My people?" "Your people?" Victimhood is not becoming nor is it a way to live a productive life. You might do well to read Dr. Sowell, Justice Thomas, Shelby Steele, Larry Elder, LaShawn Barber, Stephen L. Carter, Ken Hamblin, Roy Innis, Alveda King, Star Parker, my fave, John McWhorter (http://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/mcwhorter.htm) – the list is long. I've read them all. If these people can make it, so could you. But it requires that you give up being a perpetual victim and become a steward of your own life. But, hey, do it your way, if you must. Some people just like being angry. Have a good life, I mean that. Goodbye.
Are you absolutely serious?? My father warned me about people who toss names and books about. Are Black? I doubt it.
Firstly, all those negroes you mentioned are nothing but white identified, K-9 loyal, safe ass colored people to make white people comfortable. I can go down a list of names and books to you also, but it will have as much effect on you as yours did on me. Save that for the ass kisser at work, I am far beyond any of those coons.
Secondly, I have my own realty and no book is gonna change that. I know what I face and I know what I must do to get to the next square. As for victim…I am a victim, a victim of racism/white supremacy and no matter what you say or do while change that. You people kill me with that "victimhood" mess. First you break my jaw then dare me to say anything about it. Make no mistake, my victimhood does not stop a damn thing here. In fact, you should hope that I just roll around in self pity and let you and your kind march along.
My life is indeed good and my vision so clear. The problem is now and has always been white people and all who don't like it can my ass.
Why will DOJ investigate if witnesses can support t he attack of a civil rights activitist? There could be two reasons – they are bias or evidence has supported itself.
