“I think this is absolutely the last card in the deck, and that shows how weak their ground is,” West said in a phone interview. “But, what that means is they want to make white individuals afraid of continuing to put the pressure on Eric Holder because they don’t want to be seen as racist, and that is something that we have got to move beyond.”
West said Holder can’t logically assign race as a motivation behind the criticisms for his handling of Operation Fast and Furious. “What Fast and Furious has to do with is misleading the Congress and the American people about what you knew about this program, and if you did not know anything about this program, then who’s in charge of the Department of Justice?” West said. “It has nothing to do with your race — it has everything to do with competence, with your character and with your ability to lead the Department of Justice.”
West said Holder’s use of race as a way to attack his critics is “the most insidious thing I ever heard.”

It is no longer patriotism, but charges of “RACISM” that have become the last refuge of despots.
Not all ex-military make good politicians, but IMHO, most great politicians did at least a little time in uniform.
I think LTC West nailed it...it is the last card in the deck to play...game set and coming up on match soon.
I have been telling everyone I am a racist for a couple years. Guess if you love your freedom and America, you get called a racist. Might as well just take it and get it over with. I have never been prejudiced, but shoot, I am a racist. I am all for the American race. Tired of being abused by fakers, traitors and invaders. That line needs to be laughed at and taunted. Yeah, baby, racist!! Oh, and I do have a terrible crush on Allen West, ever since he spoke both nights at the 912 rally in Washington, DC. What a hunk!! Course, I do love my soldier boys (blush, blush)
This is good news....the fact Holder is whipping out the race card means he is running out of excuses to avoid accountability....
After the race card....where do you go....?
The homo card?
i hope one day we can refer to him as PRESIDENT WEST.......
It is effective because the honkies are paralyzed with fear when ‘Holder’s people’ utter the magic word — “racism”.
If they insist on bringing race into this, then lets ask Holder if his apparent indifference to the loss of life of a border agent as evidenced by his unwillingness to contact the family could be due to RACE?!?
OK, this is a minor pet peeve: Allen West has retired from the military and is serving as a civilian in the Congress. The proper title for him, therefore, is Congressman Allen West or Rep. Allen West. On his own website, he is referred to as Congressman Allen West.
Holder is covering for Obama, and doing a damned good job of it.
This thing goes to the top.
That’s IT!! Perfect answer.
Holder is just a clueless, lawless dork.
Obama is a shifty, smarmy, slimy, communist, muslim clueless lawless dork.
And were they white, nothing in the above would have changed...EXCEPT...both would be digging ditches, since there’s nothing else they’re capable of.
This brave man is going to need to watch his back. He is committing the unpardonable sin in the eyes of blacks on the plantation, and they are going to be extremely angry at this “betrayal”. It’s one thing to be a black conservative, it’s another to say the things that whites can’t say without retribution, and plainly define what he’s saying as things that whites can’t say without having the race card pulled on them. Leaving not even a fig leaf for Holder and his gang to hide behind.
Thanks for posting
What Tina Korbe of Hot Air repotts of the West reaction is spot on.
Holder knows there will be many “libs” who will actually believe his charge of congressional motivation is raceist. Rather than an exposure of a fascistic type program where the agenda was to furthur government gun control, but disasterously failed. Interestingly the Florida congressman avoided going into the motiivation and intent of the program which I hope he brings out later but the failure to achieve its objective and the disasterous results.
Yes Mr. Holder is incompetent.
I'll become a racist, if I must, to fight this crap.
“And were they white, nothing in the above would have changed...EXCEPT...both would be digging ditches, since there’s nothing else they’re capable of.”

Logically you’re dead wrong! There is little demand for ditchdiggers who use shovels and neither of them could stand the physical demands of that anyway. As for operating a backhoe...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...neither one has the brains for that. I think they might make it cleaning toilets.
Unfortuntely, “Congressman (LTC Ret.)” wouldn’t have fit into the title. And everyone on FR knows “LTC” as “the” Congressman West...
My $.02.
For your general fund of knowledge, honorably retired military officers are still entitled to their rank “title”, and are even authorized to wear their uniforms if they wish.
