If I were white and in the GOP like Darrell Issa who is actually Lebanese and clearly has forgotten, I’d go after Eric Holder just to show him that all racists aren’t cowards. I mean, how dare Holder give guns intended for purchase by right-wing racist reactionaries (like they did after Obama won in 2008) to Mexican drug lords who launder their money in U.S. banks? Oh well, I guess they never got over that whole “nation of cowards” comment Holder made some time ago. Or was it the fact that he refused to have a member of the New Black Panther Party dressed in the latest prison garb for voter intimidation at a Philly polling station a couple of years ago — Lord knows how intimidating black men in army fatigues can be to white folks. Or hell, maybe this is all about Holder simply being Obama’s enforcer of white slavery that has somehow become the norm here in the United States. Me? I’m going with the race card on this.
Speaking of race card, I can’t wait to see the heads of right-wing pundits spin as I’m sure they are right now on Fox News, now that “the other black guy” has decided to flex his muscles and slap an executive privilege card like a big joker on a ten for two hand in a game of spades. Yep, as I type this I’m sure Obama and Holder are slapping each other with high fives or terrorist fist bumps (or, whatever the latest Negro handshake might be) for making that “stop snitching” thing official at the highest level of government. Yeah, what good is being a black president if you can’t do thugged-out black people hood-type shit? And speaking of hood, check out the following from the homies at The Urban Politico:
President Barack Obama has asserted executive privilege over documents sought by a House committee investigating the botched Fast and Furious gun-running sting, according to a letter to the panel Wednesday from Deputy Attorney Gen. James Cole.
The move means the Department of Justice can withhold the documents from the House Oversight Committee, which was scheduled to consider a contempt measure Wednesday against Holder.
“I write now to inform you that the president has asserted executive privilege over the relevant post-February 4, 2011, documents,” Cole wrote in a letter to committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, R-California.
[…] Wednesday’s development further heightened the drama of a high-profile showdown between Issa and Holder over the committee’s demand for the Department of Justice to turn over more documents about the Fast and Furious program.
[…] Cole noted that the lone point of dispute was whether the February 4,2011 letter was part of a broader effort to obstruct a congressional investigation.
“The answer to that question is an emphatic ‘no’ and we have offered the Committee the opportunity to satisfy itself that that is so,” Cole wrote.
“Currently, (the Department of Justice) has not delivered or shown the committee any of the documents it has said it is prepared to produce,” the statement continued. “It is not clear if they will actually produce these documents to the committee before the Wednesday vote to facilitate a postponement.”
Holder, however, said he made an unprecedented offer of documents and a briefing to the committee, which so far has turned him down.
Issa has accused the attorney general of stonewalling an investigation into Fast and Furious and how the Justice Department provided Congress with erroneous information about it. The department says it already has handed over more than 7,000 pages of records to House investigators, and that the remaining material Issa wants could jeopardize criminal prosecutions.
So you say the GOP as exhibited by Darrell Issa are doing nothing but wasting time and energy with this Negro witch hunt, and should be focused on jobs. Well, the truth is, they are; they’re focused on making sure there are at least two more colored folks on the unemployment line after November’s general election. That would be, they’re laser focused on replacing Pres. Obama, and his Negro sidekick, Attorney General Eric Holder. I don’t really know how much time in prison you get for being in contempt of congress. However, something tells me that Holder has a pretty good get out of jail free card and the secret phone number to that special phone in the White House. But don’t tell that to the right-wing loons as pointed out by Rachel Maddow last night. In their minds, they believe that Holder has it out for them and is bent on taking their guns away.
No seriously, you have to watch this:
As ironic as it might be, Wurzelbacher’s ad ties in perfectly with the right-wing lunatic mindset exposed in her reporting above. Aside from Holder being black which and the obvious racial undertones of the unprecedented move to throw him in jail. It’s important to not that the right-wing cowards who “cling to their guns and religion with antipathy,” are very real. But hey, many of you didn’t want to believe it when Obama said it; instead, you believed he was racist.
But you see, it’s only in right-wing loony land that the following line will get some play: “In 1939 Germany established gun control; from 1939 to 1945 6 million Jews, 7 million others, unable to defend themselves, were exterminated,” Notice how Wurzelbacher, who is running for the U.S. House, says in the web video while pulverizing fruits and vegetables with blasts from his shotgun before turning to the camera and announcing “I love America.” Sure he loves America; it’s probably the only country where you’re free to be an idiot and believe silly conspiracy theories.
Yeah, I’m so sure Obama is using this “fast & furious” program to arm Mexican drug lords to increase crime along the U.S. side of the southern border to enact a gun control policy, which will no doubt infringe on the right s of “certain people” who make love to their guns rather incessantly.
I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot about executive overreach; and, I’m sure none of my right-wing friends will mention the many times executive privilege has been used before by other presidents; in particular, when it was used by Bush to protect his brain, Karl Rove. Yep, I’m so sure of that.
