Eric Holder Let Darrell Issa Know Just How Much He Hates Him Today
New York Magazine ^ | 5/15/2013 | Dan Amira

Posted on 05/15/2013 2:23:09 PM PDT by nickcarraway

California congressman Darrell Issa and Attorney General Eric Holder are not friends. Issa, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has pestered Holder about the controversial Fast and Furious gun-walking program for years. His committee even voted to hold Holder in contempt for his refusal to turn over certain documents. During a hearing today, Holder's feelings for Issa burst out into the open when he called the congressman's behavior "unacceptable" and "shameful," and, getting more personal, "too consistent with the way in which you conduct yourself as a member of Congress."

How many times did Sheila Jackson Lee dive over her desk to cover and protect Holder ?

Wow. And my earlier joke stands.

Someone’s got skin in the game and we still wonder where the buck stops and just whose hide is going to be tanned.

Ooops...

It seems that Mr. Holder has no respect for the good congressman just as he has no respect for those intimidated by his Black Panther bretheren.

Hopefully, one day, this administration will begin to behave like public servants and not obnoxious revolutionaries.

IMHO

Congressman Issa showed remarkable restraint in dealing with Mr. Holder. Funny how Mr. Holder's behavior was so like Hillary's. Must have been in the talking points: Lie like crazy, have hissy-fit if all else fails. Public tantrums coming from the Secretary of State and the Attorney General are embarrassing to watch and humiliating for our nation.

What is “unacceptable” and “shameful” is the way “My People” Holder has conducted himself by turning the Department of Justice into the ‘Department of Injustice and Racial Revenge’.

Eric holder, the man who refused to prosecute Black Panthers for voter intimidation against whites.

Eric Holder, the man who testified before Congress that whites will not be afforded equal protection under Hate Crime Laws, but “His People” will.

Eric Holder is a Racist, placed into a position of power over all of us by a Racist President and his Racist Administration.

Issa should have slapped that Corrupt DOJ Scoundrel right back, and with interest, and told him to his face exactly what he is. When are the Republicans going to stop taking it, and throw it right back at them?

My congressman is also on the House Oversight Committee. He posted on Four Square that he was getting ready to question Holder again. I commented that he should make sure to leave grill marks.

The conservatives in Congress are throwing it right back at them (Holder)...but on our schedule, not that of the enemy.

And the Left is royally p!ssed off.
