Eric Holder gave false info. to a Congressional Committee last May about ATF operations tied to the deaths of two U.S. Agents; we have the proof.

(SALEM, Ore.) - New information indicates that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder's actions are squarely behind the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) operation known as "Fast and Furious", which orchestrated the delivery of almost 2,000 weapons to Mexican drug cartels[1].

Holder openly proclaimed his connection to the operation in April 2009 during a publicized speech in Mexico, then told a Congressional Committee in May 2011, "I probably heard of Fast and Furious the first time in the last few weeks."[2]

The ATF weapons smuggling ring involved the arrest of several government officials with the city of Columbus, New Mexico including the mayor and police chief, but that is all[3].

Elle Bee, they BELIEVE we are stupid. What’s worse, they believe that there is nothing anyone, even the not so stupids, can do to them for what they do to us.

As others have noted, 'Gunrunner', which Holder was talking about, isn't the same as 'Fast and Furious'. Also, the article is almost incoherent: I get the impression it was written by a True Believer for whom many things are so obvious they don't need to be stated....

Not that I'm defending Holder, who almost certainly knew about 'Gunwalker'. But this isn't the proof that he did, and its fevered tone will only convince the skeptical that his critics are, um, overenthusiastic.

OK you are saying, obozo was hoping that things would get so bad on the Mexican border that people here would accept gun control as a solution. Right? Not gonna happen in Texas!

As far as marxist control over Mexico, the corruption is so bad down there, marxism might be the only thing that could control the country. That would be such a tragedy for the good people of Mexico.

At this point one needs to honestly wonder if people in the media are not being paid off.

They have ignored scandal after scandal that would have been front page TIMES’ grist for weeks under Bush. Major MSM figures such as the nightly talking heads at the big networks are either incompetent or financially in the tank.

We have moved from a republic to a corporate crony state with the MSM as protectors of the GEs and GMs.

Surely he *promised* something helpful out of this? “We are supplying weapons to drug cartels so they will........... what?........ Shoot each other? ......... Defective guns so they will blow up in their faces?

I think I am too rational to get it.

This was a criminal act of gun running by the BATFE, organized by the Obama administration. I have no doubt this was an attempt to get the Mexican drug cartels to use these weapons so that the Obama administration could claim we need to clamp down on “the easy access to guns because they are ending up in crimes.” They already made such public comments during that time to prime the PR pump, only to have it all backfire when it became known this is what they did.

This is an impeachable offense by Obama and many top level government officials need to go to prison.

Rodger Clemmons a retired baseball player is in a court battle right now being accused of lying to congress in a deposition concerning his possible use of steroids.
Holder lied to a congressional inquiry, he too should be charged and tried.

ADministration wanted to prove that guns from the u.S.A. were feeding Mexican narco terrorists. They funneled guns to Honduras where they had a buddy in their deposed president (which is why they so wanted him back in power) who took a split of the weapons then passed the majority on to the narco.
Trying to make it look like our 2nd amendment rights were causing the worlds problems and our 2nd amendment was outdated and needed to be overturned for our own good.
Gots to remember 2 years ago Mrs. Clinton promised the U.N. that Americas citizens would be disarmed by this November, 2011.
hey Hill, good luck with that babe.

Did Holder and the other liberals in the Obama Administration think “Project Gunrunner” was going to nab white middle-class men conservative men? That IS the only group liberal elites and liberal lowlifes traditionally see as ‘the enemy’...
