Holder Cowardly Plays Race Card in Fast and Furious
Investor's Business Daily ^ | December 20, 2011 | IBD staff

Justice: The attorney general says he and the president get criticized because they're African-American. He once said we need an honest discussion about race. OK, let's talk about him hiding behind his.

Times have changed since the evening of April 7, 1775, when Samuel Johnson said that patriotism was the last refuge of a scoundrel .

In the supposed post-racial era ushered in with the election of President Obama and the appointment of Attorney General Eric Holder, racism has replaced it as the ultimate defense against charges of incompetence and misguided policies.

In an interview with the New York Times published over the weekend, Holder accused those who want to know who authorized the Fast and Furious gun-running operation of being racially motivated.

The 60 congressmen, two senators, two sitting governors, and all the major presidential candidates who have openly called for Holder's resignation are not concerned in his view about how two U.S. agents and hundreds of Mexicans got killed with U.S. guns.

No, according to Holder, they are motivated by the color of Holder's and President Obama's skin.

We feel critics are motivated by the content of Holder's and Obama's character — or lack of it, as demonstrated by this latest and most cowardly defense of an indefensible tragedy.

Whatever happened to the civil discourse President Obama asked for after the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords?

When all else fails play the race card, especially when you are guilty.

Eric Holder is a Barbados-American. His parents and grandparents immigrated from there voluntarily so that one day Eric could benefit from affirmative action and spew his woe_is_me racism

A phoney Afro-American same as his master Obama.

I’ll play the devil’s advocate for a moment.

By playing the race card, Holder is asserting that his race is inferior because he’s using his race as an excuse.

Here come the arrows!!!

Eric Holder made it perfectly clear when he became the AG how he felt about the American People, saying that we are Racial Cowards. That is “projection” on his part. Isn’t Holder himself one of the American People or does he consider himself not one the American People but, a lord above us?
Holder is the racial coward and this is proof of that by playing the ‘race card’. He is caught in a trap and probably thinks that playing that card is his way out.

I apologize for posting this on your thread, but I have no idea how to post something.

Holder is also supposedly looking into too harsh discipline against african americans in Meridian, Mississippi scools. I saw this in the paper tonight. Sounds like the Southern Poverty Law Center is also involved.

Again, my apologies.

But you are exactly correct! Holder is using his brown skin as an excuse to break laws in this country. Obama is doing the same. Are we not done being afraid of insulting people with brown skin? NOBODY is black.

Holder and Obama get away with sooooooooo many illegal acts, just because they have brown skin.

300 dead Mexicans don't care what color you are, Eric.

Are you obstructing the investigation because they were Hispanic?

What's with all this crap about race? Who do these clowns think got Obama elected?

Answer: White people.

Blacks make up 13% of the population. Assuming the entire black population voted for Obama, did Obama win the election with 13% of the vote?

“Holder Cowardly Plays Race Card in Fast and Furious”

I think that probably is “Holder Proudly Plays Race Card....”

That’s pretty much the only thing democrats of color know how to do.
