“Wonder how many voting Hispanics north of the border are ticked off at the regime.”
That’s a good question. I live in Chicago, which has the second largest hispanic population in the US. Today, I was at the store, and there was a front page splash in the Spanish language newspaper, with pictures of all sorts of guns, and while I don’t know much Spanish, the words “Fast & Furious” were easy to pick out.
The MSM may be burying this way back in the papers, but it’s front page news in the Latino papers!
Sorry Joe. Nobody is going to pick this up unless Congress brings charges of some kind. Then it will be called racism if they concentrate on Holder.
Maybe this will help you to keep “gunrunner” and “gunwalker” separate:
Gunrunner, started under the Bush administration. What do you think of when you hear the term “gunrunner?” Myself, I think of someone that gets guns, in quantity, and gets them to someone that shouldn’t have them. The Gunrunner program was supposed to determine who these folks were by letting them make the purchase, and then the gunrunners would be arrested. It was successful in that they had over 1,200 arrests.
Fast and Furious: The Obama administration made modifications to the Gunrunner operation and relabeled the morphed operation as “Fast and Furious.”
Gunwalker: I heard on TV, and I wish I could remember who was being interviewed at the time, but I can’t. It was someone familiar with the ATF, maybe a former employee? Anyway, he said that when they are tracking a gun and lose track of it, the gun is said to be “walking.” Hence, “Gunwalker” is a nickname that was applied, not by the ATF, but by outsiders when this scandal broke. It is really more a a description of what was happening to the guns under “Fast and Furious,” not the official name of any law enforcement program.
The new operation, “Fast and Furious,” allowed the guns to actually walk — ON PURPOSE. It is ridiculous to believe that would help to find and stop the drug cartels. We can’t track guns after they cross the border and the guns won’t turn up unless they happened to be dropped and left at the scene of a crime and people are already dead, and the thugs that made it out alive are long gone.
We'll see - dems can take a long time getting off the stage...
What an evil witch.
“ebony ass”
Sounds like a good name for a rapper.
Jail that SUCKER!
We are a sick and twisted Nation.
No way will Holder resign.
And Obama will back him all the way.
These people have no humility or sense of right and wrong.
They have a value system foreign to American culture and are not concerned about rules, laws, ethics, morality or the US constitution.
If Congress fails to bring charges, they will be accessories after the fact, imho.
When the full details of all of this are exposed (or as many as we are allowed to hear), this makes it CLEAR that we should all be well-armed so that we can defend ourselves.
Because of what this administration has done in putting weapons in the hands of those that wouldn’t hesitate to do us harm, and not knowing where the heck these guns are now, we are in more danger in our everyday lives than we have ever been before. Their actions have made the case even stronger for safeguarding the second amendment. Because of their scheme, the average citizen has a much greater need to protect themselves from these thugs that the Obama administration has armed. It also makes the case, due to their gross negligence, that it is even more imperative that we have secure borders.
If they are going to put us in danger, we need a way to protect ourselves. Do you feel safer since Obama was elected? I sure don’t.
Let us look at certain scenarios in this catch 22
If Holder resigns, you get an O appointed replacement=continued Marxist regime.
If O, in our dreams is impeached, which is highly unlikely considering the composition of the Senate, you then have Biden or HRC as his replacement=continued Marxist regime.
More than likely, they will both or either do like Bubba did in 98 and flip off the American public and stay right where they are....further embolding the Marxist regime.
As they said before; “What did the President know and when did he know it”?
Ok. Now I can keep everything straight when the “journalists” are intermingling Gunrunner, Gunwalker and F&F. Thank you!
I have considered them pursuing the Ron Brown scenario too. Still=continued Marxist regime.
Yep. You got it. And we will pay. The top dog in the GOP is using the lame Anthony trial to try for points. That says it all.
Shades of the Reagan campaign against Carter. Are you safer than you were 4 years ago? GOP, take heed!!

I know what Gunrunner means but what is the meaning of Gunwalker?
You’re welcome! The confusion is understandable, there are those that want it that way. You’re way ahead of the game.
What baffles me is when I am talking to people that consider themselves to be up-to-date on what is going on politically, and I casually mention this situation to them -— and I get a “huh?” They have no idea what I’m talking about and have not heard about any of this.
Thanks for the ping, so busy lately I can’t find all the good stuff!
Just read the article. What a disgusting bunch of evil fiends in DC, eh.
