Congressman trumps Holder’s race card, asks if Mexican gun-walking deaths were ‘racially motivated’

Arizona Republican Rep. Paul Gosar told The Daily Caller that Attorney General Eric Holder’s race-card play to attack his critics is “absolutely horrendous.” But Gosar said he thinks race may have played a role in the Department of Justice’s execution of Operation Fast and Furious — but in a different way from how Holder is framing it.

“He [Holder] brought up the race card, and while I think it’s absolutely horrendous that he would bring up the race card, in Fast and Furious, we were in fact impugning the Mexican people,” Gosar said in a phone interview. “About 300 people have lost their lives.”

“When the attorney general brings up the race card, he’d better be very, very careful — particularly for the Hispanics and what’s happened to them,” Gosar adds. “He’s been very insensitive, not only to the [U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian] Terry family in making an apology and making it very public, but where’s the apology to the Mexican government and the families of the victims in Mexico?”

...

At least 300 people in Mexico were killed with Fast and Furious weapons, as was Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. The identities of the Mexican victims are unknown. Allegations have surfaced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jaime Zapata was also killed with Fast and Furious weapons.

Sixty-two congressmen, two senators, two sitting governors and every major Republican presidential candidate have demanded Holder’s ouster over the resulting scandal. And 85 congressmen have signed a House resolution of “no confidence” in Holder as the nation’s top law enforcement officer.

Holder is the perfect Obama employee.
Nothing else need be said.

[gargoyle]

...Of course the response will be that The Administration can’t be racist for the usual reasons.

[bmwcyle]

Obama is the worst President in history but I think we only a very few good ones.

[Leep]

Soon Holder will be playing cards in prison. I bet the Mexicans will make his stay a pleasant one.

[tumblindice]

He should be given the choice of resiging or impeachment. He not only refuses to do his job, but goes to court to prevent the states from doing it, and he breaks the law.
His only defense is that everyone but the administration he works for is racist. If he were a Republican attorney general he would have been gone by now. The miserable SOB.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

Two senators. Two. Out of a hundred. It is time for a very stiff rake to be run through the senate. The "upper house" has been heavily scummed over. It needs to be brought to a boil and the scum scraped off. Job for the TEA Party. They can start with McConnell

Actually the total is much higher. Those recorded deaths are only for the weapons that were recovered at the sight of a murder. That means that about 1700 more weapons are out there doing more killing.

If he were not the Attorney General he would be in jail and charged with accessory to murder.

It would be nice if we could use all of the gun walking to Latin America to destroy the race card canard when most black politicians promote hard left foolery.

It's not racist to be against bad ideas, but the pubbies become nute when the charge is made. Meanwhile Holder is probably an accessory to Murdergate!

How come we Dont see this Gosar on Fox news?

[Grizzled Bear]

Remember when that sociopath from Code Pink was brought into the hall by the libs? She drenched her hands in red paint and tried to smear it on Condi Rice.

I’d love to see a red paint moment for Holder.
