Issa's 'Project Gunwalker' investigation making him target
St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 22 September, 2011 | Kurt Hofmann

Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA), as Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is along with Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA, and ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee), spearheading the congressional investigation of the "Project Gunwalker" . . . misfortune (don't call it a "scandal"). Not very coincidentally, he is also a target of campaigns to sully his name with supposed ethics violations. From the Sacramento Bee:

The California Republican has used his perch atop the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to expose the Justice Department's Operation Fast and Furious, a gun-tracking investigation that went awry, and to question National Labor Relations Board civil charges against the Boeing Co. in a dispute with the Machinists union.

Ignoring for now the Bee's characterization of the DoJ's monstrous conspiracy as "a gun-tracking investigation that went awry" (that's not what it is), let's look at how the administration is responding to Issa's investigations:

[Issa] said a recent swarm of allegations and negative inferences about him are not unexpected.

As I have learned how the MSM keeps the public misinformed by selectively covering topics to their advantage, we can see how they work to destroy those who work to get at the truth.

It is good that the MSM is losing power. The mediacracy is ending.

I shouldn't be surprised that this story hasn't taken over the headlines as it would have under Bush--but I am. This would be the excuse for "Should the president resign?" stories nightly--but it's not.

It COULD, though, be a Stealth issue the way gay marriage was in 2004. It was something rarely discussed before the election, but afterwards it was an issue that had a part in the election. Because it was about government/judicial activism, and people just GOT that, and voted accordingly.

There will be 'stealth issues' we don't see coming, and it wouldn't surprise me if this turned out to be one of them.
