You know he’s getting desperate.

(NYT) — For nearly three years, Republicans have attacked Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on national security and civil rights issues. For months, they have criticized him over a gun-trafficking investigation gone awry, with dozens of leaders calling for his resignation. Last week, more than 75 members of Congress co-sponsored a House resolution expressing “no confidence” in his leadership. [...]

In the interview, Mr. Holder offered a glimpse of how he viewed the criticism. He said he thought some critics — like Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who favors allowing the military to handle terrorism suspects over the criminal justice system — are expressing “good faith” arguments about their policy disagreements.

But Mr. Holder contended that many of his other critics — not only elected Republicans but also a broader universe of conservative commentators and bloggers — were instead playing “Washington gotcha” games, portraying them as frequently “conflating things, conveniently leaving some stuff out, construing things to make it seem not quite what it was” to paint him and other department figures in the worst possible light.

Impeach the corrupt bastards!

Holder, you’re not even brown, just a light tan.

I attack them because they are corrupt and wrong. Some of their polices are unconstitutional and others are down right evil in the sight of any just evaluator.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Man he’s dense!

[Nachum]

Impeach the corrupt bastards!

Here's hoping they do some quality time in 'club fed'.

[Astronaut]

Thats their answer to everything! Its just whitey trying’ to keep the black man down! How stupid do they think the electorate is? The blacks will buy it but middle class whites are getting tired of being called racist every time they disagree with Dear Leader.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Wrong Eric, we don’t like you because you’re a slimy little weasel!

[stilloftyhenight]

I can’t believe they think the race card still works. What a pathetic bunch.

[Yankee]

Holder, you’re not even brown, just a light tan.

I think John Boehner is darker than Holder.

[Verginius Rufus]

Neither of them are descended from anyone who was a slave in the U.S. At least Holder didn't have any ancestors who owned slaves in the U.S., as Obama's mother's family did. Neither of them personally experienced the days of Jim Crow segregation. But their skin color gives them the right to be above scrutiny and to denounce and demean anyone they want.

What kind of dirt does the DOJ or FBI have on Lindsey Graham that they can count on him not straying too far off the reservation?

FRAUD IS NOT A COLOR..

CORRUPTION IS NOT A COLOR...

[ladyvet]

I don't think throwing the race card works anymore...or am just wishful thinking?

[yoe]

Holder, the Obamas, the Black Caucus, Maxine Waters, and many others of that race are the consummate racists, not the other way round.

[chessplayer]

What a racist biatch he is.

[goodnesswins]

Well....looks like he’s really reaching the end....desperation is setting in...

[Verginius Rufus]

I remember Obama making fun of Boehner’s skin color a while ago. So Presidential, and so typical of Obama.

[Baynative]

A big reason for the election of Barak Obama was to be able to play the race card when anyone disagreed with him, opposed his policies or questioned the legality of his conduct.

If he walked in a black neighborhood at night he would be beaten senseless because they would think he was a cracker.
