Eric Holder, Fear and Intimidation
American Thinker ^ | December 22, 2011 | Aaron Gee

This past weekend, Attorney General Eric Holder attempted to intimidate his critics by accusing them of racism. Under the Attorney General's watch more than a thousand weapons have been walked across the border by the ATF and more than 300 people are dead as a direct result. Even Holder himself admits that the 'Fast and Furious' guns will be used in more crimes. Innocents on both sides of the border have more to fear.

The mixture of fear and intimidation has existed since Holder's first days in office. Who can forget his first major speech after confirmation? In that speech the Attorney General said "Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards". Shortly thereafter the AG dropped the voter intimidation case against a New Black Panthers Party member that stood outside a polling station hurling racial slurs and carrying a night stick....

Starting to wonder how much real crime is out there. FBI instigates violence from militia types. Entrapment for just about anything. On and on.

Once Holder & his cohorts are cleaned out, there are a couple more federal agencies that should be taken out and shaken like a dirty throw rug.

It’s worth remembering the Republicans that voted to confirm him. I’m betting they wish they could take their vote back now.

The problem is that when a Republican administration takes over there is an incessant clamor for "bipartisanship","can't we all get along", "Republicans need to move to the center". Once a Republican president takes office the media immediately looks for bias in hiring and firing, having been asleep at the wheel for the previous four years. (vide Justice department under W)

Given Holder’s lies and dissembling, why doesn’t anyone on our side pound home his exact same pattern of behavior with the Marc Rich pardon in 2000? Exact same crap.
