Holder: ‘I Stuck by My Guns’

(CNSNews.com) – Embattled Attorney General Eric Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday that he has “stuck by my guns” during his time in office.

“I’ve enjoyed my time as attorney general,” he told the panel. “It’s been a tough job. It is one that takes a lot out of you. Some raised concerns as to whether I was tough enough for this job. I think that people will hopefully see that I’ve done this job in a way that is consistent with our values.”

He was responding to Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.) who asked Holder if he would consider serving a second term as attorney general if Obama is reelected.

“I stuck by my guns,” Holder continued. “I’ve been criticized a lot for the positions that I’ve taken. I’ve lost some. I’ve won more than I’ve lost. I’m proud of the work that I’ve done. More important, I’m proud of the 116,000 people in this United States Department of Justice. This has been the highlight of my career to have been the attorney general of the United States, to work with you all and to serve this president. What my future holds, frankly, I’m just not sure.”

The House Oversight and Government Reform committee, which has been investigating the Justice Department’s involvement in a gunrunning operation dubbed “Fast and Furious,” plans to vote June 20 on whether to hold Holder in contempt of Congress for failing to provide more than 100,000 subpoenaed documents pertaining to the botched gun sting.

As part of Fast and Furious, a Justice Department program that began in September 2009, law enforcement knowingly allowed about 2,000 U.S. guns to flow to Mexican drug cartels, with the intent of tracking the weapons and making arrests. However, law enforcement lost track of most of the weapons.

The program was halted in December 2010 after two weapons from the program were found at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

By "our" he means the New Black Panther Party

"Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal".--James (Jim) Cone,

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

"The Justice Department originally brought the case against four armed men who witnesses say derided voters with catcalls of "white devil" and "cracker" and told voters they should prepare to be "ruled by the black man." ..."

“One poll watcher called police after he reportedly saw one of the men brandishing a nightstick to threaten voters.

“As I walked up, they closed ranks, next to each other,” the witness told Fox News at the time. “So I walked directly in between them, went inside and found the poll watchers. They said they’d been here for about an hour. And they told us not to come outside because a black man is going to win this election no matter what.”

He said the man with a nightstick told him, “’We’re tired of white supremacy,’ and he starts tapping the nightstick in his hand. At which point I said, ‘OK, we’re not going to get in a fistfight right here,’ and I called the police.”...”

How about this: “I stuck by my glue!”

Eric Holder, Bill Clinton, Wright's 'Black Liberation' "church", and the pardons of 16 members of the Puerto Rican Marxist terrorist group FALN:(Wright's Marxist BLT 'church' (Obama's 'church' for 20+ years) advocated for FALN terrorists)

"During the 1970s and 1980s, FALN members set off at least 138 bombs in five major U.S. Cities. Six Americans were killed in those attacks. One of those bombings, in January 1975, was at the historic Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan while patrons were at lunch. The explosion killed four and injured more than 50."

"Fraunces Tavern is a restaurant and museum in lower Manhattan, New York City. It was built on the site of a former building which played a significant role in pre-Revolutionary activities, and in which, on 4 December 1783, General George Washington bade farewell to his officers at the end of the Revolution, before returning to his home, Mount Vernon."

"Between 1974 and 1985 the FALN (Puerto Rican Armed Forces of National Liberation) organized 120 terrorist bombings in the United States. Many Americans were killed in those bombings, and many more were crippled. In 1983, another Puerto Rican terrorist group known as the Macheteros, attacked and robbed a Wells Fargo armored car in Connecticut. The Macheteros intended to use the money to finance a terrorist campaign against the United States. Working under the cover of Puerto Rican nationalism and claiming to act on behalf of the 'oppressed people of Puerto Rico,' the FALN and the Macheteros are nothing but Communist revolutionaries. Both groups were organized by Fidel Castro's secret police. The ultimate goal of the FALN and the Macheteros is the creation of an independent Marxist-Leninist dictatorship on the island of Puerto Rico."

Eric Holder stuck to his guns!Gee. I thought his guns went to Mexico where they were used in the murder of a Border Patrol agent.

[Da Coyote]

Holder, you stick to nothing.

But, it appears that lots of stuff is sticking to you.

Shove it, Holder.

You’ve got the IQ of the president...sorry for the insult.

[mkjessup]

Holder, you stupid black bigot, the only thing you stuck to were was criminal element like the New Black Panthers and the rest of “your people” when it came to giving cover to any and every kind of illegality. GTFO now.

[Izzy Dunne]

“I’ve enjoyed my time as attorney general,”

Doesn't that sound like a farewell speech?

[mkjessup]

Should be "was the criminal element"

[VeniVidiVici]

“I stuck by my guns,” Holder continued.

If this were true you'd be laying next to them.

[ModelBreaker]

““I stuck by my guns” heh heh”

I’d prefer he stuck by my gun rights. When piggies fly. Sigh.

[VRW Conspirator]

sounds like a resignation speech

And it smells like a presidential pardon is in the works.

[Boogieman]

He’s talking about his tenure in the past tense already. Sign that resignation is imminent?

[Disambiguator]

It’s been a tough job. It is one that takes a lot out of you.

Living a lie is hard work.

[SampleMan]

Well, I guess you could say that Holder is in a Mexican standoff.

[cricket]

Funny, how the 'truth' outs itself. That said; had he stuck by the truth; our Country, far better served.

(But when, EVER; does a Liberal stick to the 'truth' of the matter. Truth never serves these people-of-the-lie and never will.)

[Thank You Rush]

“”I’m proud of the 116,000 people in this United States Department of Justice””

We could probably get rid of half of those and perhaps have a functioning department. I’m not impressed with the number of staff people he has but I guess it gives him a thrill. Too bad the rest of us aren’t as thrilled. Too many memories of this jerk from Elian Gonzalez days!

[Made In The USA]

I’ll put my money on Mr. Holder resigning over the weekend in an attempt to limit media coverage. It will be played as somehow ending a distraction for his boss, and suggest acusations against him are racially motivated.

Question I’ll end up with is whether or not an investigation can continue (as it should).

[gundog]

"I’ve done this job in a way that is consistent with our values.”

Well there's your problem.
