Eric Holder Gets Furious Fast
Townhall.com ^ | December 4, 2011 | Doug Giles

Posted on 12/04/2011 6:28:14 PM PST by Kaslin

You know what makes me angry? Guys who use more than three words when ordering Starbucks coffee, lizards that steal quail eggs and speed walkers. That’s what makes me mad. You know what gets Eric Holder heated? Probing questions from young reporters.

Yep, apparently young charges from conservative news sites aren’t supposed to ask Attorney General Eric Holder any itchy questions.  

Hope and change.

This past Tuesday the Daily Caller got duly damned by the big dog of the DOJ for asking him what he thinks about the 52 members of Congress, three presidential candidates and two sitting Governors calling for him to hang up his hat over the Fast & Furious fiasco.

Hope and change, plebeians.  

For the uninitiated, i.e. those who only watch Rachel Maddow’s show, Fast & Furious was the brain fart that the ATF and the DOJ hatched that purposefully put thousands of semi-automatic U.S. weapons into the hands of fully automatic murderous Mexican drug cartels. Doh. This act of wizardry by the ATF/DOJ has led to the deaths of hundreds of Mexicans and at least one U.S. Border Agent, Brian Terry.

This just in (sorta): The Obama Administration has now abruptly sealed the court docs containing the staggering details of how Mexicans murdered Brian Terry via the weapons Obama’s gents provided. But I digress …

Hope and change.  

Now, in a normal world one would expect investigations into the nuts and bolts of the nuts and dolts who spawned this egregious crap; however, in the weird world that is Obamaland, where up is down and down is up, any attempt to connect the dots and affix some blame by the not-so-free-press to BHO’s buddies is met with stern rebuke by our nation’s chief lawkeeper.  

Hope and change, monkeys. Hope and change.

Mi amigo Matthew Boyle of Daily Caller fame, his senior colleague Neil Munro and Townhall.com’s femme fatale Katie Pavlich have been on this scandal like stink on a monkey from day one just trying to figure out the WTFs of this foul caper in which hundreds of people have died and of which hundreds of thousands of people would like to know exactly who ordered this retarded scheme. And that, my friend, is verboten in this current misnamed Department of Justice—which is strange because BHO promised all the young ‘uns that he was going to sport the most transparent administration ever, ever, ever. Yes, mister and miss twentysomething, the admin that promised you the moon is now … mooning you.

Which leads me to my Jerry Springer summation for this week’s musings: This goes out to all the young dudes in light of Holder’s finger wag this week. Please, do not—I repeat—do not cease to pursue truth and speak truth to power. Our grand country needs good cats like you who will hold our elected officials accountable to all the laws we commoners are expected to keep. So, my heat-seeking missiles: Please stay your course. You’re greatly appreciated. Don’t let their threats grind you down.
Hope and change.

I would like to think that if I were in that reporter’s shoes, with Holder scolding me, that I’d have had a smile on my face and said, “Only fear of being found out, drives that kind reaction, Mr. Holder.”

So what are the odds? Is there a chance at least Holder, and hopefully Obama will be held accountable? Or are they going to skate free?

This is taking way too long to get some sort of resolution, and I suspect it will just fade away. And of course an Republican president would be shamed out of office by this time...

Please, someone for the love of God, please tell me I am being too pessimistic.

Amen to the gist of this article. These criminals in the government need to be brought to trial for their crimes. Maybe some contempt of congress charges are a good start. I say that, but you can bet money I’m not holding my breath!

The Food Stamp President and his lackeys are throwing everything into getting re-elected. They will do everything possible to win re-election and if that should fail, they will seize power through some ruse or trumped up emergency. If they don’t, the entire administration and a good portion of the Democratic party will end up in jail.

No one is going to end up in jail if the Republicans win in 2012. Bush wouln’t go after Clinton’s cronies in 2001. Barney Frank is going to retire wealthy and live comfortably the rest of his life. Obama, Holder, Janet Napolitano, Hillary, and Biden will all hit the book, speech, and corporate board circuit if they lose in 2012. Since when have the Republicans really gone after Democrat corruption in Washington? They haven’t in the past and won’t in the future. Like Newt, Boehner, McConnell and the rest of the pubbies are as deep into crony capitalism and the Washington gravy train as the Democrats. If you are looking for selfless statesmen and patriots don’t look at Republicans in DC. They have more in common with Holder and Obama than they do with anyone on main street.

If you are being too pessimistic, then I am too.

I believe this will lift like a heavy fog, and dissappear.

Senator Grassley and Congressman Issa should have a line of Congressmen and Senators outside their office doors every day asking for more information, they should be on every morning show poining out this travesty, and demanding Holders resignation and a impeachment hearing for Obama.

I don’t see it happening. They are instead waiting to see which way the wind blows.

Meanwhile our boy Obama who just got back from hawaii is returning on the 17th for a 17 day Hawain vacation while the Bush tax cuts haven’t been renewed , we have no budget, and the Middle east is falling to the Muslim Brotherhood.

It should be OBVIOUS to everyone that the REPUBS are playing a delaying action and waiting for 2012 elections. Obama could kill babies on TV and the clowns would NOT impeach him.

An ethical POTUS would resign but Obama's mission is not to strengthen the US, Obama's mission is to destroy the US as we know it. Who is Obama? You can't answer that question with what you have been told, the newsmedia has been lied to and they lie to you.

FAST & FURIOUS is Obama's WATERGATE. In F&F, Obama is the author and is actively involved in the cover up. By Dumping guns into Mexico, he is guilty of murder, he should be impeached, convicted and jailed. None of these things will happen.

When Obama illegally used the US Military to attack Libya, he should have been impeached. Barely a word was spoken.

Try playing a game to make sense of all of this insanity. Ask yourself, WHAT WOULD A RADICAL MUSLIM DO if he were POTUS and wanted to present the facade of a liberal like Jimmy Carter, John Kerry and Al Gore?

Obama has surrounded himself with every radical leftist nut job in America. Obama is playing Jimmy Carter on steroids

BUT

Obama is a radical Muslim working for the Muslim Brotherhood, Iran and every other anti-American regime in existence. If you wonder how Obama will get $Hundreds of Millions for his "re-election" then you aren't paying attention.

I agree.

-Watergate in comparison, was a two bit robbery the president wasn’t even involved in, —followed by a coverup.

-F&F is an international crime, involving funneling firearms to criminals which let to deaths of innocents as well as Federal agents, in which the President participated, with the intent to undermine the second amendment—followed by a coverup.

Looks like a slam dunk to me, Unless the nation owes Nixon an apology.

Our press media, and the Republicans in Congress are a bunch of partisan cowards.

speed walkers...

Most people now don't remember this but what caused the Michael Dukakis 1988 presidential campaign to begin its steep decline wasn't him wearing the snoopy hat on a tank. Several weeks earlier, there was a news broadcast of Dukakis speed walking with weights in both hands (power walking) and he looked so ridiculous that the public began mocking him. Note to any candidate: NEVER be caught eight speed or power walking in public. Also NEVER wear Speedos in public. The latter of John F. Kerry's mistake.
