I was curious to see how the Dems were handling this, and decided to lurk at DU. I went into the “Guns” discussion group and opened about half a dozen F&F threads.
They are not happy with Holder at all. Almost no one was defending him. Their descriptions of him are similar to many freepers. They don't really believe he is incompetent...they think he's a liar and the program was a really idiotic idea. The guy is toast if the Dems want him gone...and they do.
And there were only a few references to the Bush “Wide Receiver” program, but some commented that if it was a bad idea, why didn't Obama/Holder stop it instead of expanding it? They took no comfort in the possibility that they could spread the blame.
They're very worried that it's cranking up in the election cycle, and what it would do to Obama.
Holder is losing friends quickly. He helped murder people. That needs to be taken into consideration when compared to the jail time Scooter Libby got for merely getting snared in a prosecutorial trap.
Hmm, that is very interesting
