Eric Holder Answers Fast and Furious Charges by Calling Accusers Racists
by AWR HawkinsIn an interview published over the weekend by the New York Times, Attorney General Eric Holder reminded us he will go to any length to conceal his culpability in Fast and Furious. His latest ploy is to declare as “racist” everyone who’s hounding him about the illegal guns sales, the gun smuggling, and the death, cover-ups, and other examples of lawlessness connected with the operation.
In the Times piece, Holder intimated that President Obama is disliked because of his race, and that people are piling on the bandwagon against Holder as a means to get Obama. Holder’s exact words: “This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him…both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that we’re both African-American.”
And who are the people going after Holder and Obama because of their race? Those rascally “conservative commentators and bloggers” of course. They are those who are part of what Holder describes as a “more extreme segment” of news reporting. (I suppose it’s extreme because it’s not news that’s run through a White House sensor or an MSNBC producer before being disseminated to the public.)
Besides informing us that we’re racists for making a big deal out of hundreds of deaths among Mexican citizens, thousands of weapons sold illegally (and over 1,000 still on the street), as well as the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, Holder also took a little time out to pat himself on the back during the Times interview. Said Holder: “I think that what I’m doing is right” and “I think the stands I have taken are totally consistent with a person who is looking at things realistically, factually.”
By the way, last week 75 members of Congress voted that they had “No Confidence” in Holder’s ability to properly execute the duties of the office of A.G., and more than 60 have called for his resignation due to Fast and Furious. But they’re probably all racists.

You are a RACIST!!!!
always the default response for a liberal that is cornered like a rat
The last refuge of the left – cry racist and hope that people will just shut up to avoid the label. Holder is a horse's a$$ and a first rate liar. The arrogant and obstinate repetition of the same lies over and over again is getting really old. Everyone knows he's lying and everyone knows he should be minimally relieved of his post and ideally put in prison for what he's done. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen, but given that he's Obama's pet I won't be surprised to see him get away with it.
wow.
The head of the Department Of Justice plays the race card. What a shock. Oh, then again didn't he call the thugs that were intimidating voters in Philadelphia 'my people'?
Was that because they were black- or maybe more telling because they were engaged in criminal activity?
Either way. YOU make the call…
I believe it is time for that deck of cards to be replaced. That card is a marked one, and we can spot it from a mile away!
"The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves."
George Washington
Just when are impeachment charges going to be levied on this worthless POS? I don't care what color he is.
Ha ha ha …..Thanks Holder, thanks for opening your mouth on this glorious day.
If they start playing that card now, it'll be faded and worn out by this October.
"……….By the way, last week 75 members of Congress voted that they had “No Confidence” in Holder’s ability……"
Great,..great,…..I mean REALLY GREAT.
A vote of ,….."No Confidence"
Now that'll stop em,…
dead in their tracks.
Come on Holder, you're living in your own warped little world. People do not like you and "the won" because of your arrogance, your total manipulation of the laws to achieve your communist, statist agenda. They do not like you and those of your ilk because you will not uphold the laws of the United States. They do not like you because you ignored the facts (black panthers in Philadelphia) in a voter intimidation case. What's next? Are you going to free that cop killer Mumia? I could go on but everyone gets the picture.
As far as there being racial bias against having two black men in high office, I am calling bull$h!t on that. There is nothing wrong about that except that the stupid people in this country voted for a charlatan. Bring on Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Alan West, or Condaleeza Rice. You should be ashamed of the squandered opportunity. You are a disgrace and need to resign, NOW!
“I think that what I’m doing is right” and “I think the stands I have taken are totally consistent with a person who is looking at things through black colored glasses".
Yea,black makes right no matter how evil and if you don't agree with me your a racist.!
These guys grew up getting their way by using the race card,it's always worked so why not fall back on it when everything else has failed so far,our affirmative action administration is doing what it knows how to do,cry discrimination in order to distract from the truth.
race card allready been used it worn out now they have to pick a new one how about the 2 of spades holder and oboma, or 3 of spades holder oboma and machelle or 4 of spades holder oboma machelle waters ha ha the enema will wash them away in the aftermath
the ' race ' card
being played by a
RACIST .
go figure.
The boy has 'cried wolf' too many times, and the race card is all played out. Most people simply 'roll' their eyes at the mention of it now. It's truly pathetic that this corrupt POS is the Attorney General of the US…
Racist means absolutely nothing.
Yep, takes one to know one, eh Eric?
Very clever Richard. Brilliant analogy!
The man who cried racist?
blah, blah, blah…….It's over Holder, get used to it.
AG Holder, as well as, albeit to a lesser degree, the Administrators of this Website, have proven by their actions that they are indeed Racist.
by Steadman's logic, I guess the Democrat hatred for Hispanics was on parade when the Democrats politically lynched AG Gonzales. He was Mexican. Didn't break the law, and didn't cause the murder of a Border Agent. Must have been run out on a rail because they (the Democrats) hate for Mexicans who succeed without paying tribute to the Master of the DNC plantation. Which Steadman does. So while he is complicit in a murder, he is Black, he pays his dues to the DNC Master so is given the shield of the race card. Even though he DID lie and DID thwart investigations, and WAS complicit in a murder…..he gets to call al of his accusers racist.
Nice try Steadman. Does Oprah know what your up too?
Hey Holder, You're the man in charge. ONe who is supposed to know about running guns. YOu are where the buck stops. Take responsibility, jackball.
i saw your other post that was removed.
you simply stated a FACT..
which i agree with completely..
Obama & Holder provide striking evidence that affirmative action does not work.
And still John Boehner, the SPEAKER of the HOUSE, has yet to come out in front of the cameras and microphones and LEAD his party and its caucus in the chamber where it holds clear MAJORITY.
What good is a Silent Speaker, when a Scandal as large and dangerous as this one is exposed, if that SPEAKER will not even speak?
Maybe he is afraid Eric Holder, Barry Soetoro and the rest of the current administration will say he is a racist. It might make him cry.
Either that, or, John Boehner is staying silent in an attempt to avoid committing perjury like Holder did.
on the contrary my friend..
it works very well,
' if ' you are dark skinned !
Break the law,drop the race card! fool-proof way to displace all attention to the real problem which is the blatant corruption in the DOJ. I would like to ask mr holder how he would explain the uber-criticism of mr bush during his tenure? was that racist?
I do not believe it is Breitbart.com, but instead the totally flaming liberals and militant pro-homosexuals at IntenseDebate.
Why Breitbart stays with them I have no idea.
Oh this is getting comically funny.
Deep down, he only wishes he was gay too, then he'd have a backup strategy.
This 'race card' game has been getting really old lately.
What else do we need to do to put this murderer behind bars, other than writing our Congressional representatives letter after letter?
Holder is already resorting to the Hail Mary play of politics ?
Ok. Let's stipulate that we're all racists.
Will you now answer the questions, please, Mr. Holder.
Just imagine how prosperous this nation would be if conservatives could get away with playing the race card?
If you don't agree to lower taxes you're a racist!
If you don't control spending you're a racist!
If you're not for school vouchers you're a racist!
Etc…………………………… http://www.politiseeds.com
Holder, it doesn't matter if you are black, white or the purple people eater. You are incompetent and will always be incompetent! The job is too big for you. Your bone headed scheme got an American Law Enforcement Officer killed.
When you are out of solutions yell racist. Well, it doesn't work anymore. Step down or be fired.
Who's the coward now, Mr. Holder?
Crying racism is not going to work dude. You screwed up and people got killed with these weapons, you're responsible and belong in the big house along with whoever else supported this ….forever!
rac·ism/ˈrāˌsizəm/
Noun:
1. Holder's belief that all democratic members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as…
2. Prejudice or discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief.
What a pathetic lying POS, just like his puppet master. Try again, loser.
or a white woman.
Yes, racism, that's the reason. Not that Holder is a criminal, and an incompetent who only got his job because he's black.
I guess we are supposed to allow corruption and illegal activities by Holder and Obama because they are black.
Who says he isn't?
Holder and his boss, the halfrican, have done nothing to advance America and have been busy implimenting anti-American policy such as the failed "Fast and Furious" debacle and disasterous foreign affairs….could it be that one of the two isn't an American?
Please God, let the truth be revealed.
We should have known that it would come to him calling ALL of America racists. This guy needs hung for treason. Him and his freakazoid boss, the Kenyan.
The utter contempt both show towards the essentially American concept of individual rights-and individual responsiblity-proves that neither one is an American, regardless of where each was born.
It's free, or REALLY cheap.
Holder and Obama have proven themselves to be unworthy of their positions. Both are petty and childish and in completely over their heads. The fact that Holder refuses to be honest about F&F and now throws out the race card should be enough for the American people to understand the tremendous steps backward we've taken as a nation the past few years.
Not that Holder is capable of doing something honorable, but he should step down and admit what he knows and when he knew it and specifically what his involvement was.
yeah I know, I won't hold my breath….
Great idea. Everyone just admit to being racist whether true or not and then ask the questions. See what he's got then. What a friggin scumbag Holder is.
Folks, welcome to bizzarro world. Every time a member of this administration speaks is another slap in the face to our great nation. I go to bed at night wondering what I will see in the news the next day that will demonstrate how shallow, nasty and incompetent these folks are. Every morning I find out … they never disappoint.
Eric the A Holeder, Id like for you to meet with the family of Brian Terry and tell them to there face they are "racists". You dont have the guts, racist.
After Oscum is out of office, then mr the AHoleder gets arrested, tried, and Id bet convicted.
Now You're Out of Cards… You Unfit Lying Bum.
Yeah, who?
Rats have more dignity and cognitive ability, Sir.
Right out of the democRATs playbook. 1. Blame Bush for everything past and present. 2. Call it racist Repeat. Holder and Obama can begin their job search now. Obama can go back to Community Organizing and Holder can return to practicing law defending Gitmo Terrorists. Pathetic…. January 20, 2013 can not come soon enough…
LMAO!!!!!
The Congressional inquiry into Operation Fast & Furious has absolutely nothing to do with what Holder's familial ethnic background is, and everything to do with the operation being illegal, as it's the left wing's blatant attempt to try to make the argument on how to make the 2nd amendment of our Constitution illegal.
The fact that these guys are still claiming that we're all racist because we don't agree with their policies are a continuing demonstration of them being disconnected from reality.
"Eric Holder Answers Fast and Furious Charges by Calling Accusers Racists"
You know he completely void of any reasonable defense when he lowers himself to calling others "racist".
Hmmm. My bad. According to you guys, I guess he's more prepared than I thought. Between that solid defense strategy and what Obama has taught him about Takiyya, you know, lying being "a state of mind", this is a slam dunk.
So, to sum up his strategy:
1. I'm non-white, so you are of course racist, if that doesn't work
2. I'm non-heterosexual, so you are of course a homophobe, if that doesn't work
3. I'm takiyya-ing , trust me , if that doesn't work
3A. I'm Muslim, and you are a religious bigot, if that doesn't work
4. I'm Presidential pardoned.
5 Bonus: I'm Mayor of Chicago MF r's,
cause of all the crap I went through above, I qualify and deserve it
(Rahm you have competition, better watch your back)
Well that's like the pot calling the kettle black. Holder is a racist. That is undeniable and he's already had DoJ workers charge him as a racist. He should be hauled away in handcuffs. He is a national embarrassment and an accessory to murder. He is a criminal. This will not end well for him. He's toast.
When this administration doesn't like something, the first thing it does is accuse someone or something of racism. Never mind that Holder is one of the biggest crooks to run this department. Never mind that this administration was going to use Fast & Furious for the purpose of pushing gun control. It is not the American people that haven't gotten over the racial issue. It is the administration that still thinks in these terms. We Americans accept the fact that Obama is President. That is a fact. That he is Black, we see. What we don't like are his policies. Just like we don't like the way Holder is running the Department of Justice. These men could be green or blue. Color is not the issue. But they, not you or I, are making an issue of it!
Yup, that's about it…
Holder's African American?
Now that Holder played the race card…..don't be surprised if the investigation begins to back off……seems like every time a person accuses another of racism, the wimp factor takes over common sense….
Holder has now been absolved of his sins…..
Mr. Holder, your black. Get over it. Calling Congressmen, Senators and now Governors racist only serves to illustrate the weakness of your position. Since your color is how you define yourself perhaps you're the only racist in this debate.
Calling someone a racist means nothing. It's just a word they pull out when they have no other excuses. This term is used often as a last resort in liberal speak just like finding ballots and unions fighting for the "working class".
That is a fact.
Rumor has it that Holder is all broken up over this, and is seriously thinking about resigning due to lack of appreciaton being expressed by congress.
Boehner is uh, "leading from behind".
I think pulling the raciest card should be considered an admission of guilt.
TRUTH IS RACISM
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
SOCIALISM IS DEMOCRACY
Ha ha. Studying for finals?
If criminals constitute a race, then I'm a racist. Corrupt, incompetent, take your pick. Oboner will grant him a pardon if he's convicted.
Yes, the SOB should finally be tossed out of government.
I am not a racist. But, I have definitely become a politicist.
Holder is the racist. He's the one that let loose two black panther thugs after they were caught intimidating white voters. Total projection on his part.
I don't know what these people could do to suck more, seriously.
Occasionally, I run across the phrase "post-racial America." Don't you know that concept has got to be absolutely terrifying to people like Holder, Obama, Maxine Waters, Jesse Jackson, etc. etc.
And Holder demonstrates his brillian legal chops!!!
When you have no defense. When you have no rational or reasonable debate. When you can't justify what you have done…….
….just call the other guy racist and walk away.
Intellectually bankrupt.
His feelings are hurt,and is having self esteem issues.
Remember, kids: Mindless sloganeering like this results in severe stupidity. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.
Debbie Down-thumb appears to have made a return…
Holder is really desperate if he only has the race card to throw down on the table from his bag of sleasy tricks. Seems more like an Alinsky maneuver than a logical response. So he's gotta go to the race card to cover up his screw ups, ineptitude, and incompetence. Holder reminds me of the antics of a court jester of yesteryear, except he's not as intelligent as they were..
Just what race are those guns?
Or does he mean that giving guns to Mexican drug lords is racist?
This man is a walking fool.
Has anyone made a spear chucking comparison to Fast and Furious?
Nope.
The race card is played when you are out of options and ideas.
The end is near.
Damn it,…
I knew we would over react on this one and,…….
we have been trying so hard to erase this "racist" thing.
What a surprise………………………..NOT!.
Is that all he's got?
We are racist's because he and Barry sold thousands of weapons to use on our own border patrol to convince America that the second amendment should be repealed?
Just how stupid are these people? Or better yet how stupid do they think we are?
Filthy animals.
Holder perpetuates an act of war against MEXICANS! He is the racist!!!
Actually, the last refuge of the left ……………cry racist and homophobic, ROFLMAO. Nothing new if you understand the psychopathology of homosexuals/bisexuals.
“This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him…both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that we’re both African-American.”
Don't call yourself the Baker's man if you can't play patty cake.
Okay, so were racist, now go to jail!
For starters your not African American, your a black American and a sorry one at that. I'm so sick of being called a racist because I don't agree with this presidents policies, or yours. I think you need to make a statement to the press that the 70 million blacks that didn't agree with Bush's policies are racist. I'm waiting.
Mr. Holder has connected himself with Obama, "by our relationship" and they are both "African American." So now Mr. Holder has made it clear he is the African American Attorney General, and the President is the African American President. Now we that there is NO AMERICAN executive administration. If I was Robert Mueller, I would be so ashamed right about now. For the agents of the DOJ, do you care what the ethnicity of the people you protect are? To victims, do you care about the ethnicity of your assailant? Every federal law enforcement agent who hides behind Eric Holder right now should crawl under a rock because your credibility is now zilch. Further, 200 Mexican citizens never asked about race did they?
Are there any African Americans on this blog that agree with Holder, even proud of his statement?
Why does Holder still have a job?
This is par for the course, nothing new about calling their opponents, or anyone that disagrees with them Racists, Homophobes, etc., etc., etc…..Hopefully the people are waking up to this trick, that has been used for 40 or more years to quiet us, shut us down, or back off…….Every lib-tard has a bag full of these dirty tricks that has worked for way too long….I'm hoping the people are seeing what's been going on, but I worry about the Republicans and Conservative politicians, they are such wooses…..
Stupid knows no color.
you are too kind.
Holder has a real race card. Seems to me the little card he's carried around in his wallet for years pretty much makes him a racist.
