So, they are a different. Good catch.
Your reasoning only holds with a postulate that I reject: namely that Holder is racist and his actions are racist. So there you go. Pretty simple, really. You feel that Holder is racist, therefore try to draw an equivalence. I feel that the information that I've seen thus far to support such claims on the part of people who make such claims is rather laughably thin. Rejecting your postulate based on insufficient support leads to the collapse of the rest of your hypothesis.

Either you deliberately took my statement in the wrong fashion or perhaps I just did a poor job of making the statement in the first place. I'm guessing it is the later, but tough to say. What I said was a joke. Eric made a statement about "high profile racists" and the high profile made me think about LinkedIn and lead me down an amusing thought train to the absurdity of a LinkedIn profile for someone like, say, Pat Robertson who might write (in this absurdist play) a profile saying something like "I'm a high profile racist known for effective agitation of poor, ignorant people and being able to direct their anger at inappropriate but socially convenient target groups". Anyway, it was nothing more than amusement at the phrase "high profile racist".
