Ironic because the racist prosecution, and non-prosecution, of famous persons based upon their race and politics is far worse, far more dangerous, and a far more relevant topic for any genuinely legitimate journalist to cover. Take <B>Eliot Spitzer</B>, a lily white male, who did business with organized crime as he slept with thousand dollar hookers for at least the last 10 years. <A HREF="http://spitzerspecialprosecutor.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow"><B>Spitzer has not been charged with <I>any</I> crime</B></A>. Then look at <B>Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick</B>, charged with a crime for sleeping with another woman who was not a prostitute.

We need a <B>Special Prosecutor</B> to examine Spitzer's decisions as a Federal and State prosecutor who clearly protected the organized crime family with which he admits being associated, ignored crimes such as <B><I>death threats against corporate fraud whistle-blowers</B></I>, and targeted the <I>insane</I> 15 year mandatory sentence for one ounce possession Rockefeller marijuana laws against blacks and minorities. Rev Wright is not the story, but his message of continuing racism is as clear as black and white. The media refuses to report the protectionism of <A HREF="http://laserhaas.wordpress.com/2008/03/05/doj-efforts-to-cover-up-mnat-perjury-and-fraud-now-receives-national-attention/" REL="nofollow"><B>white male officials and lawyers who employ <B>perjury</B>, <B>fraud</B>, and <B>organized crime</B> on a daily basis</B></A>.
