Krauthammer: Eric Holder ‘one of the most incompetent attorneys general in US history’ Jeff Poor - The Daily Caller 52 mins ago
Last week, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder suggested racism was behind the attacks he was facing for the missteps his Department of Justice has made.
On Friday’s “Special Report with Bret Baier” on the Fox News Channel, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer explained what he thought was the rationale behind this charge from Holder: It’s a defensive tactic for his political troubles.
“It’s clearly a cheap shot of an attorney general who is in political trouble,” Krauthammer said. “The reason he is, he is one of the most incompetent attorneys general in U.S. history. He is the guy who brought on gratuitously the fiasco of the KSM [Kalid Sheikh Mohammed] trial in New York that even the Democrats rebelled against. He has led a department that has been either totally ignorant or disingenuous or worse on the Fast and the Furious scandal.”
Krauthammer said this use of the race card was dangerous, particularly when it could stoke “racial animosity.”
“And now he plays the race card,” Krauthammer continued. “I think it’s, to use his word a cowardly use of the race card and it’s unbecoming. It also is dangerous in a country where it can stoke that kind of racial animosity. He shouldn’t be using it. I say it with all due respect. Merry Christmas, Mr. Attorney General.”

I think that the AG is not incompetent. He is fully aware of what he is doing. It is by design. What would anyone expect from a Marxist POS who has a soft spot for the Black Panthers?
I’d put it this way. D.C. is full of brilliant lawyers. Holder is not one of them.
Contact your Congresscritters and urge them to vote in favor of H.R. 490!
Impeach and prosecute the racist Socialist bastard!
You have found our country’s problem.
Incompetent and corrupt.
Holder does make Reno look competent.
Yeah, just like his hero Hussein. Except I don’t think it is incompetence. I think it is hatred for America, Judeo-Christian traditions, and capitalism.
A boss hires an employee that closest resembles the boss, and I don’t mean in looks. It takes one to hire one.
I think you neglected mentioning his supportive role as a MB agent.
Good point about the boss and holder.
I am not sure if he is incompetent or not but he is certainly corrupt. Under him the Justice Department has become a criminal organization. I am totally serious about that too.
If he is not number one he is really trying hard to win the title.
Give the guy his due for trying like he wants it.
And “The Fourth Best President” can’t find the balls to fire him.
I know some people still admire him, but JFK set the model, first stealing the election in Chicago and Texas, and then making his own brother Attorney General, to make sure he would not be attacked by enemies. The Kennedy family had Chicago Mafia connections, and JFK would not have been able to steal the election if not for Mayor Daley’s support, and LBJ’s.
Then Clinton came along, and did the same thing, choosing an AG who would not act against him, no matter what. And, of course, Holder worked for clinton, too.
Now Obama is doing the same thing. He wants an AG who will do what HE says, not what the law says. And Holder is that kind of guy. Back to the Chicago Mafia again. No need to fear any questions from the Justice Department as long as your very own crook is in charge.
+1. The driving force behind Holder is not incompetence, but rather malice against our Republic.
He is certainly incompetent, but he is even more corrupt.
Krauthammer was being kind.
You said what I was going to say.
