A Funny "Injustice" Story
Here’s a story I wanted to get in my article today on Christian Adams, but it interrupted the flow too much, so I’ll put it in this blog post. Sometime more than a month into my covering the dismissal of the New Black Panther case, I decided to take the bull by the horns and call Adams directly at the Justice Department to see if he would talk on the record. As soon as I identified myself, he said, “You’ll have to go to Schmaler for that.” Schmaler? Huh? It turns out that the chief spokesman for the Justice Department is Tracy Schmaler (I had spoken to an assistant press person before), and Adams was adamant that he couldn’t talk to the press and that I must talk to Ms. Schmaler. So I called and asked for her by name. What a trip. I don’t think I was on with her for more than about 20 seconds, still well within my typical, almost overly polite introduction of self and topic which I’m known for using upon first introduction, when she began absolutely berating me for the WashTimes coverage of the case and for daring to ask any more questions. Within another minute, probably less, “berating” had turned into “yelling.” And I hadn’t even asked a tough question yet! Obviously, “go[ing] to Schmaler” would never be worth a thing. The only couple of other times I even tried, the experience was only slightly less unpleasant. And when I tried calling Adams back another time (still to no avail), I opened the conversation by telling him that him sending me to Schmaler had been such a waste of time that he shouldn’t try to pawn me off on her again. He laughed heartily, before again politely declining my request for him to talk about the case. So, a year later, when Christian Adams finally went public with his testimony to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, I paid attention when he left the room and followed him as he and his lawyer left the building by a back exit. Indeed, I walked along beside him for blocks, all the way to a garage where he had his car parked, before he would say much of anything. “Look,” I said, “you’re public now. Now there’s no reason not to go into some more details.” Adams smiled. It was a sort of mischievous smile, a very quick one, before adopting a poker face and saying: “I’m sorry, but you’ll have to go to Schmaler for that.” Then he burst out laughing. And then, finally, he answered a few questions…..

DOJ Whistleblower Christian Adams: There Are Tools We’re Not Using To Prevent Election Fraud
Department of Justice whistleblower Christian Adams delivered one of the more interesting speeches at the T rue The Vote Summit last week in Houston, Texas. He recounted the voter intimidation case in Philadelphia. Then, he talked about how liberals elect people so that every element of the election process is controlled by liberals. That way, in close elections, every decision point leans left. We’ve seen that in Minnesota and Colorado. After his speech, I asked Christian if he could explain how conservatives could be more savvy about election fraud. What can we do preventatively? What can we do when we suspect fraud? He provides some very solid advice. Most important from the video: Christian talks about Section 8 of the Motor Voter act so states clean up the voter rolls and get rid of dead or ineligible voters. In Colorado, there were 4,000 ineligible votes. The Senate race was decided by 800 votes. Please watch to learn what you can do to help. You can read more from Christian Adams at Pajamas Media . We conservatives need to be educated and fight back. “If you stay home on election day and watch the vote results, you are not on the battlefield,” says Adams. Amen.

Obama WANTS Wisconsin Mess
Over at NRO, Jay Nordlinger makes an incredibly good point : Barack Obama should be urging calm in Wisconsin, no matter WHAT side of the underlying issue he is on. It is not just unpresidential of him, but despicable, for him in effect to be urging on the mass demonstrations. But as J. Christian Adams, Justice Department whistle-blower extraordinaire, reminded me in an email accompanying this post of his, these are not only the tactics always favored by the left in general, but specifically the sorts of tactics Obama himself was trained in — AND exactly what I myself warned about (as Christian reminded me) in my very first post-presidential election column in 2008 . And, always, a few carefully calibrated street demonstrations, splashed with just the right headlines across the East Coast newspapers and captured by just the right camera angle on CBS News, will be used any time, on any issue, to make the point that civil unrest would be the price of resistance to the benevolent desires of the Obama regime. In that same column I rightly warned that the Obamites would find a way to finagle the 60th vote needed in the Senate for a filibuster-proof majority. I warned: “Watch what Michael Barone called the Obama ‘thugocracy’ use the Justice Department to stifle dissent.” And: “Provision after provision giving favors to the trial bar so it can sue enemies into submission. Copious new regulations, especially environmental, to be used selectively to ensnare other conservative malcontents.” And so on. These tactics come right out of Saul Alinsky’s playbook. These are dangerous times. The Obama left will not go quietly into that good night. And they will not let their targets sleep quietly at night. They want their targets — in the Wisconsin legislature, and at Speaker Boehner’s house, and, watch, in other places as well — to feel fear of the mob. I have news for them. We don’t fear them. We think they are beneath contempt, these rabbles of rabid radicals. In America, we are above these hoodlums, and we transcend them. We are a society of ordered liberty, and we have endured worse than these pathetic paraders will muster. They have Saul Alinsky. We have James Madison and George Washington. We win, they lose.
