'Fire Holder' protesters miffed after demonstration cut short over unattended bag (Yeah, right!)
Fox News ^ | 7/2/2012 | By Perry Chiaramonte

A protest in front of the White House calling for the firing of Attorney General Eric Holder was shut down before it even began when Secret Service agents spied an unattended bag.

But the incident appeared to be yet another one of Washington's false alarms -- and had the anti-Holder protesters wondering why their demonstration was cut short.

“It’s definitely one heck of a coincidence. It seemed like an overreaction (by Secret Service agents),” protest organizer and activist Oliver Darcy, of Arlington, Va., told FoxNews.com.

A group of about 50 activists had gathered near the North Lawn Monday as part of a protest over the ongoing Fast and Furious scandal and were protesting for about 30 minutes before the street was cleared for an unattended backpack.

There will never be justice in America again
until Holder and OJ are removed from the DOJ.

So the next time OWS is in Washington will they demand Water Cannons to wash away those filthy hippies and keep them from spraying their pee and flinging their poo?

A lot fewer than there will be in the future. Two can play this game.

The one thing liberals cannot tolerate is dissent.

Liberals can’t take alternative viewpoints and do all they can to crush opposition.

One dare not speak out against the big kahunas. They’re lucky they weren’t whisked off and put in the secret camp for US terrorists.

So nice to see the SS dealing with protesters, rather than the Capitol Police. Keeps the SS from spending too much time with Hookers.

They didn't invent lying to the public to hide actual motivations, nor will governmental duplicity and obfuscation disappear when they take their leave.

Bottom line: if it walks, talks, and swims like a duck...it IS a duck until government can categorically and objectively PROVE beyond reasonable doubt it is not a duck. Short of that, questionable action on the part of government officials should ALWAYS be assumed to be due to corruption of one form or another.

Every liberty minded American should embrace a universal policy of "guilty until proven innocent" whenever government is involved.

The bag was planted, imo, so the SS could clear out the demonstrators.

I how many, if any, of the Secret Service who were accused in the Colombia sex scandal were really involved? How many were just too conservative for Obama an his thugs to manipulate?

This is the Secret Service right? I hear they're pretty good with unattended bags.
