Salon writer pisses off readership, reaction immediate
This could get nasty. Black writer for Salon wrote some things about Obama's race remarks that sparked outrage. The reaction from readers did not take long.

Obama's safe, overrated and airy speech

This comment is the one that sparked the outrage, apparently.

Quote:Meanwhile, Attorney General Eric Holder delivered trenchant thoughts on the acquittal, demanding action. Before an audience of supporters, Holder recently called for a full investigation of Martin’s death after Zimmerman’s acquittal. Holder vowed that the Justice Department will act “in a manner that is consistent with the facts and the law. We will not be afraid.”

“We must stand our ground,” he told supporters.

Some of us have an Inner Child. Others have an Inner ******. Is Holder the president’s conscience? Or his Inner ******?

Is Holder the president’s aggressive internal mind and voice — willing to speak truth to power, but unbothered with appearing like an angry black man?

Check out the outrage expressed on twitter.

Holder is Obama's inner what? Salon's pan of president's race speech infuriates

Is it just me, or does anybody else find it ironic that Holder used the phrase that we must "stand our ground" while at the same time, his department has said they will be looking into "stand your ground" laws in states around the country? Probably just an innocent slip up. Either that or the irony escapes them.

Thought that was odd to use that phrase also.
Obama and Holder are acting out on their feelings, not their jobs.
Similar to media coverage.
