End of the week: Fox’s O’Reilly thinks Holder will have to resign(gunwalker)
Seattle Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 14 October, 2011 | Dave Workman

Posted on 10/15/2011 5:41:44 AM PDT by marktwain

It has been a tough week for Attorney General Eric Holder, despite an attempted defense by Democrat spinmeister Lanny Davis, and it was wrapping up Friday morning with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly predicting Holder will have to resign, and Sen. Charles Grassley saying he will ask for the resignation of whomever “signed off’ on Operation Fast and Furious.

“I think he’s going to have to resign.”—Bill O’Reilly

For an administration that came into office in 2009 promising to be the most transparent in history, the Obama administration is suddenly drowning in scandals. Not only is there Fast and Furious, but there is also Solyndra — a controversy that has nothing to do with firearms or gun rights, but everything to do with how this administration has evidently been conducting its affairs.

This column will focus on Fast and Furious, because this could be the career killer, not only for Holder, but for several career bureaucrats at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Advertisement

O’Reilly’s remarks came during a segment of the morning show “Fox and Friends.” He appeared just days after an exchange on his own program with former prosecutors Lis Wiehl and Kimberly Guilfoyle, both of whom also thought Holder is essentially toast. This column discussed that.

For his part, Davis— writing in The Hill — is attempting to spin the Fast and Furious probe as nothing more than crass partisanship, and he wants it to end. Of course he does, as do all Democrat Obama loyalists, because they recognize this as an anchor that could drag down their president in 2012.

Holder will resign to protect the One. That is if it looks like anything can be tied to The One before then. The MSM, academia, blacks, hispanics, Unions, progressives crime organizations ALL have a vested interest in protecting The One. The first mutterings from these sectors has already started. They will reach a point where Holder has to fall on The One's sword, or jump under the bus, in the Obama Camelot...

“I sense a bit of wishful thinking here. There is no way these guys ever resign. “

I agree. Chances are maybe 1 in 50.

Good shot!

I get enough after action reports to know that both of them are so full of crap that their eyes are brown.

““I think he’s going to have to resign.”—Bill O’Reilly” We should be so lucky. These people have incredible (and distasteful) chutzpah (sp?).

Appreciate your sentiments: but calling Obama and O'Reilly per same 'value' of brown; is as 'bad' as imagining that the 'O' in Obama (and irrespective of his family tree) makes him as much an Irishman as O' Reilly!

(Think much of O'Reilly hype is an honest Blarney; whereas that color/substance you mention, IS Obama's core value.)

That said, am not discounting O'Reilly's often noxious or boorish behavior. Do think, as well; he is not as well served by his staff as he imagines. Am not an O'Reilly regular; but appreciate his viewer draw and target topics - and the fact, that Libs land on 'Fox' to watch him.)

I remember at the first Tea Party protests, I heard that Lanny Davis was pushing for the car tags of attendees to be photographed.

Holder's resignation should not be the end of the investigation, but the beginning. People need to go to jail, and not those who blew the whistle.

You're right - his resignation can't be the end. The American people have the right to know the truth...
