So these fugging racist ReTHUGs are trying to lynch Eric Holder

[Mike220]

I don't want to make a whole new thread for this, so I'll put it here.  A DUmmie wrote Issa a letter, and wanted help with it.  The other DUmmies came forward and made some corrections, but I'm going to change it back to the way it was before he got any help:

Then he calls Republicans idiots and ruthless children, and wants to know how they can fire Mr. Issa.

Brilliant! 

And if you're not in his district you're wasting your time as he'll never read it. Some poor schlub will send you an email back saying "Thank you for writing. However, you're not in the district. You'll have to contact your congressman for any problems or issues you may have." And that's assuming it doesn't get round filed immediately.

But keep tilting at windmills, DUmbass.

signed,

one of those (former) poor schlubs...

I'd reply with this. So then if Nixon were alive woulf you apologize to him and let him run for office for the "Witch Hunt " done by the Democrats back in 72?

No it's not.  Grated the Bush administration tried something similiar to this.  But they stopped the operation when a) they ralized they couldn't track the weapons and b) before anyone got killed.

Their program was IIRC terminated way before the terrorist loving Eric Holder came along.

Oh and as for lynching...that's YOUR political party that like to grow those southern trees bearing strange fruit.

I also thought Bush's deal had Mexico's approval, Obama's didn't.

Obviously, Eric Holder is only withholding documents to cover up for the Bush administration. #fastandfurious

This hearing is just a cynical GOP stunt to distract attention from the econo... I mean healthc... uh, carry on.

The weapons had GPS trackers & the main reason the OP was cancled was the Mexicans lost track of the first two weapons sent over.

He may be on to something in his humorous way, but it may be the Obama admin. looking to distract. They may actually want this fight rather than have any focus on the economy, and especially unemployment. At this point, anything, even something that normal people would consider "bad," is probably preferable to any focus on the economy.

Hunger will change a persons mind but unfortunately Obama supporters aren't going hungry....they're on foodstamps.

It could be they are using 'RACISTS !!!' as a last-second Hail-Mary play. Because there is no good reason For Obama to have done what he did. What I expected was for Holder to resign, by claiming he had no idea what his underlings were doing, and the matter to go away as a result.

Now that Obama has claimed Executive Privilege, it indicates that he himself is at least partially connected to this failed stunt. So, in essence - Obama has gone 'All In' on turning this into a winnable issue - which I can only assume is by using the cry of racism.

They worked directly with the Mexican authorities.

It was left to Republican Senators Charles Grassley and John Cornyn to lay bare some crucial distinctions between to two ATF operations. Wide Receiver actually involved not gun-walking but controlled delivery. Unlike gun-walking, which seems (for good reason) to have been unheard of until Fast & Furious, controlled delivery is a very common law enforcement tactic. Basically, the agents know the bad guys have negotiated a deal to acquire some commodity that is either illegal itself (e.g., heroin, child porn) or illegal for them to have/use (e.g., guns, corporate secrets). The agents allow the transfer to happen under circumstances where they are in control — i.e., they are on the scene conducting surveillance of the transfer, and sometimes even participating undercover in the transfer. As soon as the transfer takes place, they can descend on the suspects, make arrests, and seize the commodity in question — all of which makes for powerful evidence of guilt.


To the contrary, Fast & Furious involved uncontrolled deliveries — of thousands of weapons. It was an utterly heedless program in which the feds allowed these guns to be sold to straw purchasers — often leaning on reluctant gun dealers to make the sales. The straw purchasers were not followed by close physical surveillance; they were freely permitted to bulk transfer the guns to, among others, Mexican drug gangs and other violent criminals — with no agents on hand to swoop in, make arrests, and grab the firearms. The inevitable result of this was that the guns have been used (and will continue to be used) in many crimes, including the murder of Brian Terry, a U.S. border patrol agent.

Even if we literally hung Holder by his pencil neck it would still be only 1 death compared to the hundreds his is personally responsible for.

[obumazombie]

A lot of commentators are now saying this scandal is going to make Watergate look like child's play, which it was, in a way.

Anyone notice that most of the deaths that Team Obama seems to be responsible for are the very same Latinos he is trying to impress with his new amnesty program ?

To Obama and his politburo, acceptable collateral damage when considered against the benefit of terrorizing border agents?

Well, if this is just a continuation of the previous administration why doesn't the committee just have someone who was involved in the Bush administration's Wide Receiver program testify? If the 0bama administration is telling the truth that will be verified by whatever ATF and/or Justice Dept person(s) report.

That said, you DUmmies use "lynching" so often, it's losing it's historical impact and becoming yet another example of frantic, leftist hyperbole, used only when your side doesn't have a reasonable defense. Granted, those doing the lynching were white Democrats (buddies of Senator "I've known white ******s" Byrd) so perhaps cheapening it is the only way you can assuage your guilt. You're just the "new and improved" benevolent slave owners who want to trap them on your inner city plantation...done with beatings & lynchings, evidently.

Still if we're now using it as an attack against people who don't think exactly like you or play by your narrow definition of how minorities should think, what they're supposed to believe and how they're supposed to vote...maybe this is just payback for the "lynching" of Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, Janice Rogers Brown (please, Lord, let this daughter of sharecroppers replace Ruth "Buzzy" Ginsberg on the Supreme Court) and every other minority or woman who has the gall to not bow to your vicious peer pressure and follow their own values.

DUmmies are the most superficial people on the planet. Just because the guy had an African father every single criticism boils down to racism. It's kind of sad, really, that they don't think their president is able to take the same kind of criticism and scrutiny other presidents: Bush I&II, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, etc. Evidently, he's too incompetent to stand up and defend himself. It's too bad you guys think so little of 0bama that you think you have to protect him with such nonsense. You should have more confidence in the smartest man in the room. solar system.
