USA TODAY: ERIC HOLDER’S DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE PERPETUATING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE MYTHS:

“The facts are clear,” said Attorney General Eric Holder. “Intimate partner homicide is the leading cause of death for African-American women ages 15 to 45.” That’s a horrifying statistic, and it would be a shocking reflection of the state of the black family, and American society generally, if it were true. But it isn’t true. . . . Yet Holder’s patently false assertion has remained on the Justice Department website for more than a year.

When Eric Holder says the facts are clear, it’s usually time to get a second opinion.
