In one heck of an analogy, then U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Eric Holder likened guns to cigarettes, saying that perceptions about guns needed to become more stigmatized. He said this during a speech in 1995 and suggested an aggressive advertising campaign to convince the public that this was true. At one point, he literally said that he wanted the advertising to be so pervasive that it would brainwash people.
To Larry Pratt, executive director of the Gun Owners of America (GOA), such advocacy on the part of Holder flies in the face of his Constitutional oath. As part of the oath he took to defend the U.S. Constitution, Pratt says, Holder swore he would defend the second amendment. Advocating that people be brainwashed into foregoing their second amendment rights when you're a U.S. Attorney is an affront to those rights.
Pratt sees a perfectly legitimate question in light of this newly released video: If Eric Holder was willing to brainwash people into giving up their gun rights as a U.S. Attorney, what would he be willing to do as an Attorney General?
The answer, says Pratt, may be found in operation Fast and Furious, a fatally flawed program in which the ATF an agency under the Justice Department's purview told gun store owners to sell guns to straw purchasers who would then walk those guns into Mexico. This manufactured reality allowed a narrative to be established, false though it was, that over 90% of the guns found at crime scenes in Mexico came from the United States. Evidence suggests that this was said and done to push a much more aggressive gun control agenda.
If brainwashing doesn't work, a disgusted Pratt says, perhaps allowing bad guys to kill innocent people will.

Holder has to go.
Maybe even jail.
This man must be removed from office.
Parents have the right to educate their children, not Eric Holder. Holder needs to have his own brain washed. It is really messed up.
Gee, there’s something new under the sun. A RAT who advocates brainwashing.
he is a clear and present threat to the constitution. The clarity of that threat increases as we get to know this man better. he has armed drug cartels along our border. he has advocated a brainwashing program to get Americans to give up their constitutional right to keep and bear arms. He is suing states that are attempting to prevent election fraud and who are attempting to enforce federal immigration laws that he himself refuses to enforce. If the 2012 election pans out with us controlling the senate and Obama still in the Whitehouse, going after Eric Holder has to be one of our top priorities. He not only needs to go, he needs to be turned into an example.
