Dem Rep Says She’s Never Heard of ‘Fast and Furious’
foxnews.com ^ | 8 December, 2011 | The Daily Caller

Posted on 12/10/2011 3:55:19 AM PST by marktwain

New York Democratic Rep. Nydia Velazquez admitted she did not know what Operation Fast and Furious was at a Congressional Hispanic Caucus event on Tuesday.

When The Daily Caller asked Velazquez if she thinks Fast and Furious was a scandal that rises to the level of a call for Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation, she shrugged at first. Then, TheDC asked if she even knew what Fast and Furious was.

“No, no,” Velazquez replied.

Wow. How does America survive when ignoramus liars are entrusted to make decisions on the course of the nation?

Because we ask them if wear boxers or briefs instead of substantitve question.

Watergate was a Sunday School picnic compared to what this administration is doing (the least of which was Fast and Furious).

Yes - an Nixon actually loved this Nation like a Patriot. I was in High School and remember all the budding liberals going ape shit over "Tricky Dick". The same ones that needed to take Nixon down are hell-bent on taking us all down and the only way to do it is to neutralize any sense of patriotism.

What do we hear from the main stream press? Very little, why? Simple, Obama is their man. He can do no wrong in their eyes and if he does make a mistake, well all is forgiven.

Sadly, it is even worse than you describe. Yes, BHO is their guy. But what is even more frightening is that Marxism is their ideology. They are perfectly willing to help him put the country on the train to communism because they are confident that they will remain the elite and will not have to get in line for 8 hours at the grocery store with the rest of us peasants who are just hoping to buy a dozen eggs.

To let these people vote on laws that affect everyone is an abomination.

But ask her about amnesty programs pending anywhere in the U.S. and she’d be able to recite them verbatim, with phone numbers for each sponsor as well.

“I bet you’d get the same response if she was asked what her opinion was of Article I Section 1 of the Constitution.”

The esteemed Congresswoman would probably say: “What's a Constitution and how does that apply?” I guess she skipped civics class in Mexico. /sarc/

Does she no speaka English or is she a liar?

No way she has not heard that Holder betrayed our ally, Mexico by arming the cartels and laundering drug money. Mexico wants to prosecute the traitors.

There are useful idiots...and then there are useful idiots elected to Congress.

Another one...Hank Johnson (D-GA)re:Fast and Furious:

“I think this is another manufactured controversy by the second amendment, NRA Republican tea party movement,” Johnson said.

Infamous for his concern that the island of Guam might tip over if we add to its population by putting 8000 Marines and their families there:

Idiocracy. These people win elections in their respective districts.
