The Moral Failures of Eric Holder ... VDH
PJ Media ^ | 28 Sep 2014 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 09/29/2014 4:53:22 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Eric Holder’s left many baleful legacies: being censured by the House of Representatives; withholding subpoenaed documents, proving untruthful about a failed gun-walking caper in Mexico; failing to enforce laws on the books, from immigration to the elements of the Affordable Care Act; illegally billing the government for his own private use of a government Gulfstream jet; snooping on Associated Press reporters; giving de facto exemptions to renegade IRS politicos; and trying to create civilian trials for terrorist killers like KSM, one of the architects of the 9/11 attacks. But he will be known mostly for re-teaching Americans to think of race as essential, not incidental, to our characters.

He accomplished that unfortunate legacy in a number of ways. Holder waded into the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown fatal shootings before all the facts were known in a manner no local public prosecutor would dare do so. He claimed that the unpopularity of Barack Obama was due to racial animosity, apparently forgetful that not long ago, in the era of Bush Derangement Syndrome, novels and movies were published and produced fantasizing about the assassination of George W. Bush, who was compared to Nazis and fascists, by everyone from Al Gore to John Glenn. I assume Holder was then quiet about such alarming disparagement of his president; and also I assume that when Obama in 2009 had near 70% approval ratings, for Holder the nation was anything but cowardly.

I’m predicting that a USSC vacancy will occur and Holder will be Obama’s nominee.

The buzz is Holder quit b/c he’s going in for bowel surgery.

Seems that everytime Holder had to enforce a law, he got constipated-—so much so he got addicted to Metamucil.

Now his system is shot to hell-—he’s getting a pacemaker inserted in his sphincter muscle.

Another excellent column by VDH. He leaves out Eric Holder's refusal to defend DOMA even though it was the law of the land, in order to pander to another segment of Obama's base.

According to the ad for his video on the causes of WWII, Hanson is a "historican."

It’s hard to be ‘responsible’ if you don’t KNOW anything.

If Reid keeps control this is a real possibility.

Damn, Damn, Damn. Just Damn, I finally caught Victor Davis Hanson in a mistake.

“So this month Holder stayed mum when a young African-American Jesse Matthew Jr., with a past but apparently little scrutinized criminal record, was a prime suspect on the lam in the brutal killing of a University of Virginia white co-ed.”

While I am real sure that Jesse Mathew Jr. did kill Hannah Graham, VDH forgot that the young lady’s body has not been found yet.

Unfortunately the assumption that the girl is dead is what everyone is operating on.

Eric Holder - the most racist Attorney General in US history, responsible for more damage to America’s economy than any AG previous. Destroyer of reputations, lives, and livelihoods.

And very successful, from his and Obama’s point of view.

First of Holder’s numerous crimes is his dismissal of the NBP case.

As a result, currently NOBODY trust our political voting system. And I hope people (Left and Right) think long and hard on this.

Peaceful transition of power is only possible if the consented-to-be-ruled people accept what the authority says.
