The Department of Justice is giving liberal activist groups money from a $16.6 billion settlement with Bank of America, Judicial Watch reports.

The groups benefiting from the lawsuit, according to Investor’s Business Daily, are the National Council of La Raza, Operation Hope, National Community Reinvestment Coalition and Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America. The money also went to “delinquent borrowers” in Chicago, Oakland, Detroit, Philadelphia and other major “Democrat strongholds.”

“This is a wealth redistribution scheme disguised as a lawsuit,” Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, told The Daily Caller. “And who benefits from the distribution? Interest groups the administration relies on, outside interest groups, allies and politicians in communities trying to benefit as well.”

Fitton noted that these liberal groups are basically what’s left of the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now (ACORN) network, and that President Barack Obama has ties to ACORN.

“You have La Raza that’s getting money, their former head is at the White House in a top position whose funding from the feds has gone up immensely under the Obama administration,” Fitton said.

La Raza, Operation Hope, National Community Reinvestment Coalition and Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America have all intimidated banks to give loans to minorities, even if they can’t afford to pay them back.

This is part of an ongoing scheme in which the DOJ puts the money it has received from bank settlements in a slush fund and then funnels the money to liberal groups. Judicial Watch points out that liberal groups — many of which are the same ones benefiting from this lawsuit — also received money from multi-billion dollar settlements from JP Morgan Chase and Citibank, as well as a $335 million settlement from Countrywide Financial Corporation.

“What we need is an honest Justice Department run by people who make a commitment to the rule of law rather using their power to extort and benefit more government and their political allies,” Fitton said. “This is no better than Tammany Hall.”

Gotta get rid of the head crook in the White House first. Obama is the real thief; Holder is just a "soldier." Holder doesn't do crookedness like that lawsuit or the theft of the settlement without orders from above.

Why should the federal government be giving money to La Raza and other left wing terrorist groups? Answer that question Silver and then maybe people will listen to you, but you say nothing, absolutely nothing, a three year old can hold a better informed conversation than you can.

I bet that you would shit your wheelchair if you heard that the Tea Party was getting 100's of millions of dollars from the federal government... But as long as they are ultra left wing groups that lay claim to community activities we are supposed to accept that right?

If you would take the time to investigate and learn instead of reading and believing all of the right wing conservative nonsense you could maybe see how silly you really are. Also you just have to be insulting in order to make yourself out as being high and mighty in your own eyes. You are really pathetic and believe me I feel sorry for you because you are so blind. Also I have not responded with lowering myself to name calling and insults as you are so in need of doing.

I know who La Raza is and that Wiki piece is little more than a puff propaganda piece, for a group whose name is "The Race". They advocate for far left wing ideology and for the rights of non citizens here in the US. Many within their ranks work resent US authority and feel that the western United States was illegally taken from Mexico and do not recognize US sovereignty in the southwestern US.

Like I said, they deserve no funding from the US government, they are very political in nature and in their activities, it is no different than funding the Tea Party except for the fact that the Tea Party is less radical.

Why don't you for a change of pace just once debate an article with some semblance of a true article in retaliation or make an intelligent try at stating your reasons against a blog or do everyone a favor and keep quiet sliver.
