Well, this is rich. The guy who happens to be in contempt of Congress for unresolved questions and stonewalling over a deadly gunwalking scandal, and whose department is currently under investigation for tapping into a wide swath of AP journalists’ phone records — and who conveniently just can’t seem to remember when it was the he recused himself from what he acknowledges is that very serious case — has zero reservations about dishing out scoldings for other people’s ostensibly unacceptable behavior.

This was done for the cameras, like Hillary’ “what difference does it make?” so the liberal media can show it on their broadcasts and make that the story.

I wouldn’t say that is anywhere near metaphorically speaking!

Ya gotta give them credit. Those Leroy’s stick together.

If Republicans stuck together like that we could get rid of this bunch of slime.

I watched it and Issa took the scolding calmly. I would have told that mother lover about shame and his great part in it.

Come on. SJL is a Holder Peep, and thus immune from any criticism. Did you not get the memo?

I believe he was referring to the developing scandal regarding his role in allowing for the tapped lines and email intercepts of the L/MSM personnel.
Yeah. With all the scandals coming forth, it is tough to keep up with the fine points regarding each one. :)

Issa should have calmly said

“But, I will be here long after you are gone”

and then moved to the next item on the agenda.

Eric Holder: Gun Owners Should ‘Cower’ In Shame Like Smokers.

**********

Gun owners don’t cower and smokers don’t spend money in restaurants and bars etc where they aren’t wanted. That’s not cowering....it’s revenge.

I guess it all comes down to class and intelligence. The liberals have none. The liberals also feel no shame because they have no conscience.

OK....pulled this from the ABC report...linked early in the article:

************************************EXCERPT*******************************************

The display during an otherwise mostly tame Judiciary Committee hearing this afternoon exploring a range of controversies surrounding the Obama administration was exceptionally contentious and dramatic.

Let’s see what the crook has to say when the court orders the Fast n Furious documents turned over other than ‘I plead the fifth’.

Issa should have held him in contempt.

As someone said on another thread, Holder can't stand "uppity white folks." I'm pretty sure Issa has a very good memory. He keeps his cool and chooses his battles carefully. Holder won't like what lies ahead.

Everyone should feel shame except Holder and Obama. His 1995 video is exactly what they are doing now, brainwashing.

These people have no conscience, integrity or self-awareness.

During Issa’s next press meeting he should not forget to say loudly to whomever is interviewing him to send a message to Eric the protector of the new Black Panthers. Like “blow it out your ass”.

Issa replied that the messages on the emails were not shown because Holder didn’t want the information known to the Senate, and he was dead right. Where is the shame in being right, and why isn’t Holder ashamed for withholding information.

As for Jackson Lee, that is the most empty head in Congress the only thing in it is racism.
