This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".

Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.

The rest of the article:

Life goes on outside of the 2012 race, and Holder is being excoriated there as well. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa used his strongest language yet yesterday, stopping just short of calling him a criminal:

These firearms were not interdicted. They were not stopped. Your agents allowed these firearms purchases to continue, sometimes even monitoring them in person, and within days some of these weapons were being recovered in Mexico. Despite widespread knowledge within its senior ranks that this practice was occurring, when asked on numerous occasions about the veracity of this letter, the Department has shockingly continued to stand by its false statement of February 4, 2011.

Mr. Attorney General, you have made numerous statements about Fast and Furious that have eventually been proven to be untrue. Your lack of trustworthiness while speaking about Fast and Furious has called into question your overall credibility as Attorney General. The time for deflecting blame and obstructing our investigation is over. The time has come for you to come clean to the American public about what you knew about Fast and Furious, when you knew it, and who is going to be held accountable for failing to shut down a program that has already had deadly consequences, and will likely cause more casualties for years to come.

Issa’s letter mirrors the thoughts of other public officials and an increasing number of media figures. An unsigned op-ed in the San Francisco Examiner cites the constantly changing series of excuses from the Department of Justice, and calls for Holder to fire his aides or be fired himself.

Writing in the Washington Post, Marc A. Thiessen described Holder as “Obama’s albatross,” and ripped his entire tenure as U.S. attorney general as a series of catastrophic failures.

David Zurawik noted in the Baltimore Sun that the administration’s handing of the gunwalking scandal shows contempt for “real reporters” that actually ask the hard questions. This was a criticism of both the White House and the majority of mainstream media outlets that have done everything in their power to minimize or ignore the story — when they weren’t posting political hatchet jobs on behalf of the administration, as the New York Times and Washington Post have both done.

Issa continues to ramp up the pressure on Holder and the Department of Justice, and may issue subpoenas as early as today. Subpoenas would call on Holder to turn over documents he’s so far withheld, to testify under oath again in front of Congress, and would also request communications about the plot from over a dozen senior DOJ employees that may have been involved.

How much extra time did yesterday's DOJ circus buy Holder?

I wonder if the same FBI/DEA "cartel informants" they were applauding yesterday were involved in the murder of Brian Terry?

Were they going to provide Fast and Furious guns to the "Iranian terrorists?"

Michele Bachmann told reporters after a town hall meeting Monday morning that if the facts are as they seem, the attorney general must step down:

Step down?

How about "Be prosecuted for 200 counts of Negligent Homicide and several thousand counts of international arms smuggling"?

AND the state department, AND th CIA, DEA, FBI, NSA, ad infinitum. Either our ememies have won, or we don’t realize who our enemies really are...which is circular for THEY have won.
We are now standing on the threshold of a possible all out ME war deliberately concocted and induced by this admin.

“Romney dodges.”

This is what we can expect if Romney should win the presidency. That is why Herman Cain is looking so much better to conservatives.

Romney, the Democrats' candidate for the Republican nomination. At the top this country is running a one party system for the presidential election. The Official Democrat Party chooses the Republican nominee. With McCain, their Official guy could not lose. With Romney it doesn't matter that the Official Democrat will lose. The socialists will preserve their gains, gain a majority on the Court and get their must-have legislation through a Republican Congress which will lose to a Democrat Congress after two years of a Romney regime.

Republicans do not purge the bureaucracy when they take charge. Romney will staff it with even more Official Democrats and sympathetic "Republicans" and "non-partisans" in order to "work with the Democrats." The Legislature will have less and less relevance as the bureaucracy becomes THE government. Rulings from Departments will evermore substitute for enacted laws. Clinton and the kenyan have showed the way on this it has not been resisted.

Where did this “gunwalker” term come from? This is US Federal “gunRUNNING’ pure and simple.
