A fed-up Attorney General Eric Holder is accusing congressional critics of launching "unprecedented, unwarranted, ugly and divisive" attacks on him and the Obama administration.
During a speech to the National Action Network in New truthYork on Wednesday lauding the organization's effort to advance racial equality, a heated Holder went a little off-script.
"Forget about me [specifically]. Look at the way the attorney general of the United States was treated yesterday by a House committee," Holder told the crowd. "What attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?"
The remarks drew loud applause from the crowd. al.
Holder has had a tense relationship with several Republican lawmakers since the Republican-led House held him in contempt of Congress two years ago for failing to turn over certain documents tied to the Fast and Furious scandal involving botched firearms sting operations despite a congressional subpoena seeking those documents.
In asking Holder on Tuesday about the Justice Department's refusal to turn over documents in an unrelated terrorism case, Gohmert again raised the issue of contempt, saying, "I realize that contempt is not a big deal to our attorney general, but it is important that we have proper oversight."
A visibly upset Holder, leaning back in his chair, shot back, "You don't want to go there, buddy. You don't want to go there, OK?"

Kinda like When youre taking flak, youre right over the target.
What attorney general has ever acted as you have Holder? You are a traitor, a felon and a racist and deserve worse than what you are getting by the pu$$!es on the Hill.
Maybe the morons on ABC's editorial staff should take note.
Of course,when I say "Congress" I really mean "House".
Holder Is a Basket Case When It Comes to Fast and Furious
He must not have been around when John Ashcroft was here.

I need more data, but one local school can't sell hot cookies anymore of a national brand because of the Kobi Beef Aficionado....
We are loosing Liberties at an alarming rate...
The Dictatorship feels that it is firmly entrenched now and above the law. They ARE the law and let no one forget it. Sayonara Constitution and Bill of Rights.
At this point I would give my right arm to have Janet and Bill back in charge! At LEAST they COULD NOT scream racism!!! WE THE PEOPLE

THIS HAS BECOME TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE that these BASTARDS

elect ANOTHER black president????
Fed-Up Publius911 and at least 115 million other American Citizens Rip 'Unprecedented, Criminal, Arrogant, Unwarranted, Ugly and Divisive' U.S. Department of Justice.
Fortunately, Publius911 and 115 other American Citizens don't exercise the destructive power OF one "Holder."
Why that should be tolerated is still being sorted out.
Moving right along...
“What attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?”
John Mitchell. Richard Nixon. Difference being - besides the obvious one - they were competent.
What AG has ever shown such disregard for the rule of law?
“Forget about me [specifically]. Look at the way the attorney general of the United States was treated yesterday by a House committee,” Holder told the crowd. “What attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?”
Ummmmm....Bush? Alberto Gonzalez?
One of the first things Holder did was fire the guy who was investigating Obama supporter, Kevin Johnson mayor of Sacramento. He should have been investigated and removed at that time, but everyone in congress turned a blind eye.
