With new reports today that the Obama Department of Justice leaked documents intended to smear a whistleblower in the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal, it is now more obvious than ever that this administration has, in the words of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) created a “culture of intimidation” that stretches from the White House down to myriad agencies of the executive branch.

***

Department of Justice: Today’s report from the Department of Justice Inspector General, showing that former US Attorney for Arizona Dennis Burke leaked documents intended to smear a whistleblower in Fast and Furious, are only the latest revelation on misconduct from DOJ. The DOJ has also targeted Fox News reporter James Rosen over leaks from State Department employee Stephen Jin-Woo Kim; according to Megyn Kelly, two other Fox News staffers; the Associated Press, over a story regarding CIA investigations into al-Qaeda; Gallup, shortly after the polling firm showed Mitt Romney with a substantial lead over Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential race; and True the Vote, an organization dedicated to stopping voter fraud. The Eric Holder Department of Justice has been the lead enforcement arm of the Obama agenda, going after Arizona’s immigration law and refusing to go after New Black Panther voter intimidation. The DOJ reportedly uses the non-profit group Media Matters to disseminate its talking points.

Ask witch Pelosi how that swamp-draining exercise worked out.

Burn it.

[Travis McGee]

Oh what a tangled web we weave,

When first we practice to deceive.

[LucianOfSamasota]

Doesn’t feel like the United States any more, does it?

[Spruce]

We certainly live in very interesting times...

Intimidation: the hallmark of all narcissistic totalitarians that Zero is just the latest example of.

What will be telling will be how AP treats the story of the Fox News reporters. If they ignore it, then they will have proven they are hypocrites only interested if it’s their ox being gored.

I’ve been trying to go directly to the websites referenced here at FR; I do this so the website from which a given story originates will get a click.

But I refuse to do it for Breitbart.com because it seems that pretty much every time I go there either (a) my IE10 locks up and has to be shut down via Task Manager and restarted, or (b) I get an “unsafe site” warning from my antivirus program.

Yup - it’s MY way or the high-way........I will make your life a miserable, living hell if you refuse.

(b) I get an “unsafe site” warning from my antivirus program.

get a different anti-virus program and then tell the existing one why you switched.

[surroundedbyblue]

I don’t recognize my country any more.

It takes more than Obama appointees to pull off the harassment, intimidation, and suppression of citizens. It takes scores of GS and SES government employees.. this appeared in the International Herald Tribune letters to the editor:

15 July 2008: "Most lib. cannot take a joke. They are too arrogant. B.O is alway talking down to his audience, with his chin pushed up and out. I coined the phrase 'Barakracy'. IF B.O. ever made it to the White House, I fear bureaucracy might become Barakracy. Those love to pay more taxes would be rejoicing. Posted by: T Chen - 15 July 2008 5:14 am" [My emphasis]

Barakracy

I agree, that really shouldn’t happen.
But I will also say this; you are taking a very big chance with your security by using Internet Explorer. It’s so full of holes that I stopped using it years ago. I still have IE but I never use it unless a site I absolutely must visit requires IE to function properly. I really hope you will consider using some other browser for most of your Internet viewing.

Try here:

and consider using an addon called Adblock Plus.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/

Both are free.

I am not intimidated by Odinga and never will be!!! HE MUST GO!!!

I’m using third-party av software (GFI Vipre). My company’s main IT guy recommended it, and so far it’s kept me safe for a couple of years. Used it to replace McAfee, which (a) let a virus into one of my machines, and (b) couldn’t remove said virus after it was in, resulting in the loss of that machine and most of the data on it.

There is an add-on for Firefox called IE-Tab that allows it to render a web page as if it were Internet Explorer.

I have Win8/IE10. Never had a problem.

I'm going to + 1 on that suggestion. Firefox, for right now, with these add-ons looks to be the way to surf the interwebs.
I's also give a thumbs-up to Avast (Free) anti-virus for your computer box.

Just my US0.02 worth. There are a lot of other good security progs for more 'advanced' use also.
