I don't doubt the extremist elements in the GOP will push this forward. They've been such a failure thus far in other things they've tried to do. The move on their part will, I predict, backfire by further igniting Democratic Party supporters and many Independents. We didn't hear much about the Bush era stormtrooper tactics of his AGs from the racists ... because ... well, they did their bidding. If Holder were white there'd be no issue.
Omg the ignorance on these boards. It just blows my mind that people can be this. fricken. ignorant. Maybe they aren't, maybe they are just immature and cannot handle it AT ALL when someone from their own side is caught with their proverbial pants down.
It doesn't matter the color of his skin, it doesn't matter the letter behind his name, it matters what he has done and that anyone can make ANY excuses for this person tells me everything I need to know about that anyone.
Your credibility was pretty much non existent anyway, gomexico, this just clinched it. It's GONE.
Holder is so pathetic, it would be easy to laugh at him...if only he wasn't one of the most powerful men in the country. He wants to hide behind his race as an excuse for his incompetance. I would imagine that this infuriates hard working, professional blacks.
It appears the media won't be able to cover for their leaders much longer. Holder and Obama will have to put up now. Impeachment could be around the corner.
(CBS News) -- House Republicans investigating the Fast and Furious scandal have gotten the go-ahead by their party leaders to pursue a contempt citation against Attorney General Eric Holder, senior congressional aides told CBS News. The resolution will accuse Holder and his Justice Department of obstructing the congressional probe into the allegations that the government let thousands of weapons fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.
The citation would attempt to force Holder to turn over tens of thousands of pages documents related to the probe, which has entered its second year.
For months, congressional Republicans probing ATF's Fast and Furious "Gunwalker" scandal - led by California Republican Darrell Issa, have been investigating a contempt citation. They've worked quietly behind the scenes to build support among fellow Republicans, since it could ultimately face a full House vote. CBS News has confirmed that House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, has given Rep. Issa, who heads the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the go-ahead to proceed. A 48-page long draft contempt resolution is being prepared.
I wondered who uncovered this thread and why. Good job but don't expect many answers from our progressive friends. They can see that the end is nearing and how do they keep Obama covered up as to when he actually knew about this one from the DOI.

ROTFLMAO, at you. Where does it say anything about President Obama, only in the fantasy world of the far right do people make such leaps of faith based on such nonesense. Get used to the idea that President Obama will be President of The United States of America until 2017. They will rounding up you far righties any time after November, 2012.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. They will never take real action. They can't even answer a straight forward question. I saw Issa interviewed on TV last week and the same question was asked three times. He never did answer it. He bloviated and spun all over the place. Lord, I despise people like that.
