Eric Holder says Republicans have made him a ‘proxy’ to attack President Obama
The Washington Post ^ | July 2, 2012 | Sari Horwitz

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. sharply criticized lawmakers Monday for voting to hold him in contempt of Congress last week, saying Republicans have made him a “proxy” to attack President Obama in an election year.

In his first interview since Thursday’s vote, Holder said lawmakers have used an investigation of a botched gun-tracking operation as a way to seek retribution against the Justice Department for its policies on a host of issues, including immigration, voting rights and gay marriage. He said the chairman of the committee leading the inquiry, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), is engaging in political theater as the Justice Department tries to focus on public safety.

“I’ve been doing all of these things all the time Darrell Issa and his band have been nipping at my heels,” a defiant Holder said. “They’ve been nipping, but I’ve been walking.”

G Zimmerman must then be a proxy to get RUSH.

Obama killed BP Agents Brian Terry and Jaime Zapta

Holder and the liberals are blocking the murder investigation.

Dear Eric,

You shouldn’t have lied to Congress twice already.

Your truly,

Holder has gotten away with so much for so long, he thinks he can get away with anything indefinitely. All he has to do is lie, cheat and obfuscate long enough to find another way to blame Bush, or blame his accusers for being mean to him. The guy is a bum. I don’t doubt for a minute that his people are the ones stashing guns along Arizona trails where Mexican gang members can get them. He is agenda driven, and that agenda is to disarm Americans, and control them, at least white Americans.

I once knew a young woman who came into work all perturbed because she had just gotten a speeding ticket. “That damn cop was just trying to make his quota!” she complained. I inquired how fast she was going. “Eighty in a fifty zone,” was the reply.

Holder’s Day Job is the AG of the USA.

Holder’s Night Job is waiting for him in Mexico after Rep. Issa gets the courage to Impeach or convict Holder.

Holder’s Night Job? Why, head of Mexico’s Obama Rifles, of course!

You were right the first time: “I’ve become a symbol of what they don’t like about the positions this Justice Department has taken,” he said. “I am also a proxy for the president in an election year. You have to be exceedingly naive to think that vote was about . . . documents.” Cretin doesn't know what "proxy" means.

WOW! I don’t suppose it ever occurred to him to like not break the law. He has the blood of hundreds on his hands and those victims deserve justice. He should be on his hands and knees begging their families for forgiveness. That’s what he would do if he were a law abiding honorable man.

If the ATF is responsible then their heads should roll along with anyone at the DOJ, FBI or ICE that was involved. If he were an innocent man he would make absolutely certain that happened.

Watch, just like a schoolyard bully, these bastards cry like little girls when they are challenged.

Get him on the ground and kick the living crap out of him is what I hope for. Then kick his teeth down his throat.

He’s using Alinsky tactics. Freeze your opponent, make them the target. He says Issa is after me, bad guy, bad guy, waaaa, waaa. I am the good guy. I am above all this politics. I hope Issa has the stones to throw this Alinsky crap right back at him. We KNOW. He and Obama probably wrote their Harvard thesis’ on how to rid America of the Second Amendment.

I am sure it has been said before in this thread, but no, you dumb shiite, you are a proxy for Obunga. You are the frontman, doing his bidding, furthering the agenda. Too bad, you got caught. As the song went: “Too bad, some one had to lose”
