Holder has been criticized for what his detractors say is an inability to handle criticism. Former George W. Bush speechwriter and Center for Individual Freedom senior fellow Troy Senik, for example, argued in an editorial for TheDC earlier this year that Holder is unable to accept accept a theory or argument different than his own, and has a tendency to see criticisms of his performance as racially motivated.

“This is the controlling thesis — perhaps the only thesis — that occupies Eric Holder’s mind: any public policy he disfavors can’t be motivated by honest disagreements about first principles or empirical realities; it must be the product of prejudices buried deep within the subconsciousness of its proponents,” Senik wrote.

In December 2011, Holder accused his critics of racial motivations in an interview with The New York Times.”

PJ Media recently had a similar piece on thin skin.
