Full "White" House Votes to Legally Lynch Eric Holder

WASHINGTON, DC
Thursday, June 28, 2012

Following last week's vote in the House Oversight Committee, the House voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in Contempt of Congress for his role in the investigation into the "Fast and Furious" program.


The Department of Justice and the House leadership were in talks to prevent the vote until early Wednesday morning, when the AP reported they failed to reach an agreement.


The House Oversight Committee, under the leadership of Chairman Darrel Issa (R-CA), is seeking documents relating to the "Fast and Furious" program in which guns sold in South-Western states were tracked in hopes of tracing them to leaders of drug rings across the border in Mexico. Guns in the program were later used in several crimes, including the murder of a Border Patrol Agent.


The Justice Department argues that it has already provided all the relevant documents, except those that cover ongoing investigations. The White House announced that it was seeking executive privilege in withholding some of the documents just before the House Committee met last week.


Members of the Congressional Black, Hispanic, Asian Pacific American and Progressive Caucuses, as well as other members, walked off of the House floor during the vote to hold Holder in contempt of Congress.

Putting Eric Holder in his place "Fast and Furious"

The Importance of Being Eric

Fuming over the Supreme Court ruling upholding the Affordable Health Care Act,  republicans will probably take their fury out on Attorney General Eric Holder and hold in Contempt of Congress this afternoon since they can't get the President...directly.

GET THIS! Barack Obama and Eric Holder (two dark-skinned guys) concocted a scheme that would have forced good white people everywhere to voluntarily give up their guns. Theplan was to run MILLIONS of weapons into Mexico. The spread of violence as a result of all those firearms would surely spill over across the border onto American streets - resulting in the countless murders of innocent white children with red hair and freckles and names like "Rusty" and "Muffie". The result of the carnage would force the American people to demand a ban on all guns. It's an evil, liberal plot, you know.

Any DINO/BLUE DOGS  who joins with republicans and vote to hold Eric Holder in contempt should be given the middle finger from this point on.  What good is electing a democratic representative if they govern like a republican?

Eric Holder is being held in contempt of congress by a contemptuous jackass like Darrell Issa. Isn't that funny? The House will be voting on the matter this week. You can guess which way they're going to go with this one. Holder does not want to handover to Issa documents he is legally forbidden to produce - applications for wiretaps and grand jury transcripts for instance. Holder won't budge and Obama is citing "Executive Privilege". "What are they hiding?" goes the cry. It's nothing more than a political witch hunt; a desperate attempt to discredit the Obama administration just in time for the November election. Are enough of the voters going to be stupid enough to swallow this bullshit without so-much as a chaser? Judging by their pathetic history the answer to that question is a resounding "YES".

It's the Big Pay Back!  Revenge!

If It's Sunday, it's time to meet The Pest!

It's all Darryl Issa and Fast and Furious all the time, UN fair and UN balanced among all the  Sunday Talking TeeVee Pundit Heads.

I have to hand it to the Republicans, they can make a scandal out of nothing. Literally, nothing. I am gobsmacked that the Republicans have actually concocted this elaborate "Obama-wants-to-take-your-Second-Amendment-rights" conspiracy out of thin air. The proof of this dastardly plan? That he HASN'T DONE IT YET. And yet more proof that the traditional media is completely beholden to the GOP and not at all interested in informing the public, they're going along with it instead of laughing at them and mocking their absurdity as they so richly deserve.

But hey, what else can they talk about?  They certainly can't talk about jobs, the economy, health care reform, education or any of the issues facing 99% of the American people can they?  Thanks to the media we have republicans are still delusional.

Dear Beltway elite: both sides do not do it. Republicans are crazy.

The Supreme Court who gave us Bush and Dick, Citizens United, and who has access to quality affordable health care for life, is now poised to strike down the Affordable Health Care Act.  Although the Talking TeeVee Pundit Heads are claiming it will be a huge defeat for President Obama, if they strike down part or all of the Act, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

WTH is the diversity in the Sunday Talk Shows?  The only cable outlet, other than MSNBC with black face(s)was Fox News Sunday of all outlets.  CNN's stab at diversity was black conservative Amy Holmes putting a black face on what they really want to say.  Black folks need not apply to host cable talk shows. No wonder the republicans feel as if they can spurn the NABJ (National Association of Black Journalist).

The Republican National Committee and the putative GOP standard-bearer, Mitt Romney, have ceded the National Association of Black Journalists convention to the Democrats, rejecting invitations to send speakers or panelists that the Democrats eagerly accepted.

 The lack of diversity  is evident in the Blogosphere too.  Did you hear the one about the black guy who works for Politico who got suspended for telling the truth about the white man?

POLITICO reporter Joe Williams has been suspended pending review of recent controversial comments he made on television and Twitter, POLITICO editors informed staff late Thursday night.
On MSNBC today, Williams made a remark suggesting Mitt Romney was only comfortable around white people. The video was first flagged by conservative website Washington Free Beacon. Breitbart.com ran the video and also flagged a series of tweets Williams had written that made fun of the Republican candidate, particularly in regard to his wealth.
"Regrettably, an unacceptable number of Joe Williams's public statements on cable and Twitter have called into question his commitment to this responsibility," POLITICO's founding editors John Harris and Jim VandeHei wrote in a memo to the staff. "His comment about Governor Romney earlier today on MSNBC fell short of our standards for fairness and judgment in an especially unfortunate way."

Psst Joe!  I feel your pain.  Really I do.

I knew you wouldn't believe your change in status had nothing to do with your support or lack of it for a gubernatorial candidate and everything to do with the content of your comments and other posts. But that's the truth, end of story.

You won't hear it from the Talking TeeVee Pundit Heads of course but there were so many private jets at Mitt Romney's Republicanpoolza looked like an Air Force base.
