James Sensenbrenner ambushed by right-wing video maker

It’s a meme originated by Andrew Breitbart’s “little buddy” James O’Keefe.

The “logic” seems to be: Eric Holder and Barack Obama are left-liberal blacks who want to expand black representation in Congress at the expense of white representation. They want to update the Voting Rights Acts to make the titles in it that were deactivated by the Supreme Court active again by writing new criteria that will pass constitutional muster.

James Sensenbrenner also wants to update the Voting Rights Act and reactivate the relevant titles (those dealing with preclearance). Therefore James Sensenbrenner wants to enable Barack Obama and Eric Holder to discriminate against white voters.

The error here is the attachment of a nonexistent malice to actions of Obama and Holder.
