Shilling for Dems desperate to pass off the hot potato known as Fast and Furious to the nearest Republican, Congresswoman Maloney (D-NY) wrote an op-ed piece for the New York Daily News last week entitled "Fast and Furious 'scandal' is a Republican red herring: What we really need are tougher gun laws."
Maloney followed the DOJ playbook on Fast and Furious. Terms like "gotcha games," "ill-conceived operation," "political fodder," "political sideshow," "witch hunts," and "lax gun laws" are everywhere. But that's not the worst of it. The facts don't fit her agenda, so what does she do? The congresswoman piles lies on top of the propaganda.
If not for the unspeakable grief of the Terry and Zapata families, as well as thousands of Mexican citizens, Maloney's rant wouldn't merit a response. But people died, and their loved ones deserve better.
Lie: The "Fast and Furious Scandal is a Republican Red Herring."
Truth: The guns retrieved at the scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry's murder were real; they were later traced to the gun-walking operation. Senator Grassley and Congressman Issa did not manufacture a crisis, and the only "red" involved is the blood of the victims.
Lie: "Holder is being blamed for a program that is not his creation."
Truth: Fast and Furious was initiated under Holder's watch in the fall of 2009. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms falls under the Department of Justice, therefore he "owns" it.
Lie: "But this initiative, which was identical to one launched under the Bush administration, spiraled out of control, with ATF agents losing track of the guns as soon as they crossed the border."
Truth: The experienced ATF agents deposed by Issa's House subcommittee said they were ordered by higher-ups not to intercept guns "being essentially just bee lined to the...

Ping!
A day without lies by a dim is like a day without sunshine...
This thing is my congressb!tch. She is quite literally dumber than a sack of hammers. Odds are she didn’t even READ the article, let alone write it.
I love the smell of Watergate! in the morning
My sympathies:)
I’d bet you’re right, she probably had a staff member write it to impress the libs in the district for her upcoming reelection.
Maloney, if I remember correctly, was elected out of sympathy after her husband and son were shot by Colin Ferguson while on their way home from work. I am truly sorry for her loss. Ferguson was/is absolutely out of his mind. However, her election to US Congress was due to that incident. The people of Garden City, NY have been re-electing her ever since, even though time and time again she proves that she is an utter moron. All one has to do is a little research on some of her previous interviews where she is asked to explain/defend her stance on gun issues and its clear that some liberal/progressive staff member has written everything and that she has no clue.
Gosh, WHY would an ELECTED Representative (Democrat) of the people want to lie to the people? /s
Offline all day catch up ping!
Thank you for the ping. Would never have found this.
Moron or not, she apparently has no problem with lying for the 'party' to protect the criminal posing as the Attorney General of the USA...in effect we have all been had by these mendacious clowns. Shame on the people who elected her and keep electing her. (Obama Order Launched Fast and Furious)
Such blatant lies in the face of already known facts could well mean Congresswoman Maloney is now criminally liable for conspiracy to cover up these crimes.
