Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., who has been critical of Arizona's new immigration law, said Thursday he hasn't yet read the law and is going by what he's read in newspapers or seen on television.

Mr. Holder is conducting a review of the law, at President Obama's request, to see if the federal government should challenge it in court. He said he expects he will read the law by the time his staff briefs him on their conclusions.

He went on the morning Sunday shows implying he had read it and was commenting the on the law. Seems they will pick and choose what they want to enforce or not. AZ smear campaign to divide us.

Is anyone sure either of these two affirmative action morons, Holder and Zero, are able to read?

Can any of the left wingers in DC read?

Reading with them seems to be a lost skill, that they don’t need nor want.

Just pass the bill, so we will know what is in it!

Has anyone else but me ever noticed how much Attorney General Eric Holder resembles that phony soldier douchebag Jesse MacBeth from 'Iraq Veterans Against the War' who claimed he committed atrocious 'war crimes' in Iraq?

*** The Lame Stream Media and late night comics will totally ignore this. ***

But they still get a Pavlovian laugh from their audiences by saying the word “Quayle.”

There is a video up on C-Span now where he supposedly made this statement. It's over 3 hours long and I haven't been able to find the statements yet. There's talk of the AZ law around 2:17:00.

I saw the replay earlier. Not even former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was this ignorant or arrogant. Hubris is not even a damning enough term for what Holder has done here. He says the law is discriminitory before he even reads it! It’s like that sign from the Tea Party Movement...”It doesn’t matter what my sign says you’ll call it racist anyway”. This entire administration are nothing but party shills and talking head thugs.

“Yep, they both criticize it but haven’t read it. Just like most in Congress when they pass laws.”

MORONS. Yes, we’ve heard this lame excuse before and it’s no better this time around.

Past time for a court-martial!
