This post is certainly off-topic but as good as some left leaners can come up with.

The liberals simply do not GIVE A DAMN that hundreds of people died due to this illegal program. Why do they not care? Because most were just MEXICANS, and they are not REAL PEOPLE to the average liberal. What the hell? Kill a few Mexicans? That is cool, as long as the liberals under Obama and Holder are doing the killing. We, as liberals, are not opposed to slaughtering the "brown people" (as it is really not a crime to kill Mexicans).

Let us, as liberals, allow Obama the slaughter of a few hundred people. However, we PROMISE to hold the line after he kills MILLIONS. But if he kills MILLIONS of US conservatives, that will be okay. IF he kills ALL OF US, then we may object.

LIBERALS- ARE YOU INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE RULE OF LAW AND THE US IS GREATER THAN OBAMA!!!!!!
They don't get it. It is like a cult.

The OP asked which side are you on. I said I stand with my President and my country. Got a problem with that?

If only you guys showed the same "respect" for the Constitution when Bush was in office then perhaps your sentiment would have more weight today.

Anyone who doesn't understand the current tug of war between the two branches of government and ignores the tradition of Presidents of involking executive privilege - including the 44 times President Eisenhower involked it - should go back to secondary and high school so that they understand the separation of powers.

No use telling that to Teabaggers.

A border patrol agent and many Mexicans are dead. Shouldn't we find out how all this happened?

This is just a political tug-of-war to you?

Holder found in contempt of Congress - TwinCities.com

Don't you ask yourself why he refuses to turn over documents? Why did He and Obama go the executive privilege route?

Are you afraid of the truth?

Holder didn't refuse to give anything, the President asserted his Executive Privilege power over the documents that even Rep. Issa has said are the communications between the AG and the WH, AFTER the program was exposed.

Don't you ask yourself why Issa was supportive of the previous administration in their assertions of executive privilege? Don't you ask yourself why he backed the administration then? Don't you ask yourself why Bush and Issa said it was okay when the AG then was subpoenaed during the Valerie Plame scandal or the EPA administrator evoked it to be stopped from testifying and turning over documents?

Issa even has declared that the WH was not involved in Fast and Furious and that he's directly looking for communications between them (in order to probe further and wider into all areas within the WH ala Ken Starr).

Are you afraid of the truth? Are you just interested when your chain yankers spew forth orders aka "opinions" that are not based in facts or truth. Or are you afraid that the real intention behind the politically motivated committee's "investigation" will be revealed. Why is Issa so adamant to find the truth, but won't allow the ATF ~the actual agency who ran the program ~ head to testify before the committee despite requests and continued demands to have them there?
