Fast & Furious is offensive.

NSA Spying on Americans (and lying about it) is offensive.

IRS abusing conservative political groups (and lying about it) is offensive.

Refusing to enforce immigration law (and lying about it) is offensive.

Eric “The Red” Holder needs to clean up his own act ... or fall on his sword. He has no standing to bitch about a football team.

Lawless, racist, affirmative action liar Eric "The Red" Holder is offensive and should be changed via impeachment ASAP,
or faster than you can say "furious" (H/T James O'Keefe).

The feds and Holder have no constitutional say about "offensive" conduct or words of individuals (incl companies). The Constitution does not grant the feds any power over individuals in general and over their "offensive" words or actions in particular.

You can't nor needn't reach the issue of whether "Redskin" is "offensive", because it is unconstitutional for the feds to inquire about it.

The Constitution DOES require the feds to butt out of our lives!

Goodness, NO! He's also investigating the outhouse that floated by in a small-town parade. These are weighty matters affecting the very foundations of the Republic.

It’s funny, because this “story” seemed to kind of go away for a while, which means it’s really not offensive to virtually anyone. Almost nobody seemed to want to talk about it anymore. Instead people have been talking about other things that the dems don’t want them to be talking about, so it was important to try to steer the conversation back to the Redskins. Nice try, but it’s not going to work.

Dang! I forgot about that! Erik the Holder is a busy, busy man. I’ll bet he can never find time to attend any “New Black Panther” meetings.
