Attorney General Eric Holder has accused The Daily Caller of creating the story of calls for his resignation. Never mind that more than 50 Republicans are on board for his ouster. Maybe not all of them would have made the official call for his resignation had a DC reporter not called to ask their opinions — but the reporter didn’t supply the opinions for ‘em. The gist of Holder’s accusation: Stop asking questions, reporters!
No doubt Democrats like Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson agree. Reporter Michelle Fields didn’t make him say what he said, but, if she hadn’t asked a question, he never would have said this quote, which was especially revealing about what he knows of the Fast and Furious scandal:
“I think this is another manufactured controversy by the second amendment, NRA Republican tea party movement,” Johnson said.
Hmm. How exactly did the Tea Party Movement or the NRA instigate an ATF program to sell firearms to straw purchasers and then rapidly lose track of the weapons?
Honestly, the quote makes so little sense, I don’t know how to respond to it. But, then again, it comes from a fellow who somehow managed to mention “white supremacists” in yesterday’s Judiciary hearing — and who once said overpopulation might cause the entire island of Guam to “tip over and capsize.” What did I expect?
Catchy phrase. I vote "thumbs-up."
Holder has some very high octane Kool-Aid he is trying to get us to drink.
There’s really no variety of corruption to which the current Africa-style administration would not stoop.
Like the well-known frog in the pot, the American people have really adapted their diminshed expectations to an increasingly criminal governing class.
Did those four ATF field agents get their orders to stand down and let the guns and straw buyers disappear into Mexico from the NRA or TEA Party members? Funny that they testified that their own ATF superiors gave those orders.
“Kook” Kuchinich wannabe
What a marvelous conflation by the Communist DNC Larceny Occupier movement.
I wonder if Michelle Fields would marry me?
