Bring It Holder! You’re Gonna Get Slimed!

Bill Murray starred in the role of Dr. Peter Venkman, PhD in the 1984 Ghostbusters and 1989 Ghostbusters II movies─the story of four scientists who answered the call to save New York.

In Ghostbusters II, the crew meet up with Vigo the Carpathian, a real nasty repeating phantasm who comes to life in a painting.

Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder AKA Vigo, has repeatedly said in recent months he is considering a run for president in 2020.

“In 2020, you could do something to do be a part of the solution of the things you’ve been talking about,” the Washington Post’s Jonathan Capeheart said during a sit-down interview with the former AG. “Why do you feel at least a flicker in the belly to even think about running for president?”

Holder responded, “Well, because I care a great deal about this country. I’ve spent the vast majority of my professional life in public service. I think I’ve got ideas that I hope would resonate with the American people. I think I’ve got the guts to potentially do the things that I think the next president would have to do.”

“This is not a time to be half-stepping; this is a time to deal with a changing America. An America that will be wounded by the experience that we are presently going through. So, it is all of those things. It doesn’t mean that ultimately, I’m going to do it. I’m certainly going to be involved in what happens in 2020. But I care about this country. I care about the way in which people in this nation are treated. I care about the notion of fairness, of equality,” he added.
Today, this arrogant sumbitch tweeted:
Good grief, man.  Don’t you realize you quoted the president who signed Executive Order 9066 which authorized the mass forced removal of 110,000 Japanese Americans on the West Coast to inland internment camps?

This was the same president who directed the German oceanliner St. Louis carrying 937 passengers, all of whom were Jews fleeing the Nazi Third Reich, to turn away from the port of Miami and return to Europe to face the Holocaust.

According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, “Sailing so close to Florida that they could see the lights of Miami, some passengers on the St. Louis cabled President Franklin D. Roosevelt asking for refuge. Roosevelt never responded. The State Department and the White House had decided not to take extraordinary measures to permit the refugees to enter the United States. A State Department telegram sent to a passenger stated that the passengers must ‘await their turns on the waiting list and qualify for and obtain immigration visas before they may be admissible into the United States.’"

When Holder resigned, Darrell Issa (R-CA) Chairman of the House Oversight Committee at the time, called him “the most divisive U.S. Attorney General in modern history. Time and again, Eric Holder administered justice as the political activist he describes himself as instead of an unbiased law enforcement official.  By needlessly injecting politics into law enforcement, Attorney General Holder’s legacy has eroded more confidence in our legal system than an attorney general before him.”

Holder unilaterally decided to try 9/11 terrorists in New York City, he allowed thousands of weapons to “walk” into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, he failed to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), he was held in contempt of Congress for withholding Fast and Furious documents, he targeted Fox News reporter James Rosen as a co-conspirator seizing his phone and computer records, he unfairly targeted business owners in Operation Choke Point, he failed to investigate the IRS for targeting conservative and Tea Party groups, he aggressively intervened in the Ferguson debacle before there was any evidence of mishandling by the Ferguson Police Department touching off days and days of rioting.

Particularly galling about Holder’s most recent tweet is the dripping hypocrisy of April 22, 2000 when Immigration and Naturalization Services began to mace, kick, stomp and gun-butt their way into the home of Elian Gonzalez’s legal custodians to wrench a bawling 6-year-old boy from the arms of his family at gunpoint and bundle him off to Fidel Castro’s terror-sponsoring shithole fiefdom leaving 102 people injured, some seriously.

So, if Holder is seriously contemplating a run for President in 2020, he should know straight up he’s gonna get slimed by the Holderbuster; something he richly deserves.

Eric “A Nation Of Cowards” Holder Wags His Finger At Trump

I find it galling that former US Attorney General Eric Holder possessed the effrontery to wag his finger at Donald Trump on Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.  Holder falsely insisted that violent crime has gone down since The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer took office.

Holder’s fevered imagination ignores black-on-black crimes, the astronomical rise in the murder rate in Obama’s hometown of Chicago and the recent epidemic of cop killings.

Acting as a dutiful political operative for the Clinton Mafioso Machine Holder said:
“I’ve known Hillary Clinton for almost 25 years—as a friend, a colleague, and a leader of courage and conviction. And today, I am proud to say “I’m with Her!”—because I’ve seen that she has the skills to serve as commander-in-chief—and the strength to lead our already great nation in this hour of challenge and consequence.” 
“Did you hear what I just said?” 
“Already great nation, Donald did you hear me?”
“Already. Great. Nation.”
It seems just a bit disingenuous for the man who, on February 18, 2009 said, "Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial, we have always been and we—I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards." 

It is important to note that this racialist, the nation’s first black attorney general, led by the nation’s first black president was speaking during Black History Month and that every year the nation officially honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Yet, Holder declares that America is a nation of cowards.

Holder did not and still does not want an honest dialogue about race in the Age of Obama.  He and the Democrats want us to sit down and shut up and passively be subjected to lectures about our insensitivity.

Five years after his highly insulting remarks, he told ABC News that he “wouldn’t walk away from that speech.”

Holder supported using Hollywood, the media and government officials in order to “really brainwash people” into opposing firearm ownership, according to a 1995 C-SPAN video.

The revelation that Holder wanted to “brainwash” people into being “anti-gun” appears to be supported by what Congress and the American people have learned about Operation Fast and Furious.

In Fast and Furious, the Obama Administration’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE)—in a program overseen by Holder’s Department of JustUs—sent about 2,000 guns south to Mexican drug cartels. The Obama Administration did this via “straw purchasers” who bought guns in the United States with the intention of illegally trafficking them somewhere else.

Holder, unsurprisingly, is ever-willing to evade responsibility on a number of controversies ever since his time in the Clinton Administration and the Obama Administration.

#BarackTology: Millennials Rank The Top Obama Scandals

Students on the campus of George Mason University picked the NSA collection of data, the president’s lie that “If you like your health care plan, you can keep it,” and the IRS targeting of conservatives as the top Obama scandals in a parody bracket released Friday.

Campus Reform asked students to fill out a scandal-based bracket ranging from Benghazi and Fast and Furious to the IRS targeting of conservatives and the NSA’s collection of data.

“It’s pretty incredible actually, I didn't realize how many scandals were going on,” said one student.

Another millennial advanced the IRS scandal because “that’s probably how [Obama] got into office.”

The “Elite Eight” choices are:

1. Benghazi
2. Obama’s “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan” promise
3. DOJ spying on AP reporters
4. The Fast and Furious gun-running scandal
5. IRS targeting conservative groups
6. The botched rollout of Healthcare.gov
7. Obama bypassing Congress to delay elements of Obamacare
8. NSA collection of citizens’ email and phone data


Tweet your picks @CampusReform, #BarackTology

See B.S.

Several days ago a story broke that Emmy Award winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson had resigned as a decades-long employee from CBS.

Attkisson is best known for her investigation of the gun-running scandal known as "Fast and Furious" that allowed firearms to reach a myriad of Mexican drug cartels.  One of those guns was used in the murder of U.S. Border Agent Brian Terry.  Her work on the story garnered an Edward R. Murrow Award in 2012.

A media analyst suggests that the CBS News investigative reporter resigned because her bosses were annoyed with her efforts to uncover several scandals within the Obama Administration including the Benghazi debacle and Solyndra.

It was Attkisson who roundly refuted Hillary Clinton’s claim that "I remember landing under sniper fire" on a visit to Bosnia.  Attkisson was covering the First Lady on that trip and her memories are:  "To be sure, it was not the 'safest' trip for a first lady to take: there were serious risks in traveling to Bosnia, even for the president's wife under the vigilant protection of the U.S. military. It took some guts for her to go. But I don't recall, and did not note, any close calls on this trip with sniper fire or any other dangers. "

Many journalists now are no more than channelers and echoers of what George Orwell called the 'official truth'.

Bogus characterizations of her work contend that her reporting had become agenda-driven.  CBS executives “doubt the impartiality” of her reporting.

If by “doubt the impartiality” of her work CBS is inferring that Attkisson refrains from exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering or sensationalism then, yes, Attkisson is guilty as charged.

If by “agenda-driven” the Left is implying that she is fighting for truth in Washington when they exude extreme cowardice then, yes, they pegged her correctly.

Carrying the water for this Administration smacks of yellow journalism.  The Liberal stenographers and White House poodles have abdicated their role as the Fourth Estate and have morphed into a Fifth Column overtly supporting a Progressive movement.

I strongly suspect that Ms. Attkisson’s departure from CBS may well become a precursor to the wheels coming off The Ministry of Propaganda.

They say the truth shall set you free.  Ms. Attkisson is surely free now.  Good for her.  I wish her well.

The Devil’s Workshop Is Now Hiring


Saul Alinsky dedicated his book, Rules for Radicals, to Lucifer.

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history...the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

I received an email the other day from blogger friend Smitty of The Other McCain.  In it he asked, “How about putting Axelrod on Axl Rose?  I'm envisioning some story about the pressure of polishing the Obama Administration turd getting too great, and he snaps, and forms a band called Confiscated Guns and Subsidized Roses.”

On CNN’s State of the Union last Sunday, Candy Crowley read off a laundry list of scandals to Obama strategist David Axelrod who then tried to spin Obama’s record on good governance.

CROWLEY:  “Let me ask you in the broader sense, so you’ve got the GSA, the Secret Service scandals, you have had sort of an ongoing thing about government money that was given to Solyndra, the solar power company that went bankrupt and how they got the backing that they did. You've had Fast and Furious, the ATF scandal that Eric Holder has been working on. Do you think that the totality of that hurts the president?”

The mistakes are legion.  Does anyone see how this regime can recover from its growing litany of scandals?

BREAKING: Bombshell News on DOJ Perjury Imminent

Christian Adams, reporting at PJ Tatler, has heard “that PJ Media will run a story in the next 36 hours revealing bombshell instances of lying under penalty of perjury at the Justice Department.  I hear it involves criminal acts, and also, strangely, implicates congressional redistricting among other matters.  Stay turned to PJ Media for details.”


UPDATE I:  December 22, 2011
The Justice Department Condones Perjury…Again
Hans A. von Spakovsky, Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation and former commissioner on the Federal Election Commission reports that throughout 2005-2007, numerous attorney-client privileged documents, confidential personnel information, and other sensitive legal materials were leaked from inside the Voting Section to the Washington Post and various left-wing blogs.
Stephanie Celandine Gyamfi, a career employee in the Voting Section of Justice’s Civil Rights Division has confessed to committing perjury on three occasions, sources say.  Despite the admission, she has not been fired for criminal malfeasance; in fact, she has not been disciplined in any meaningful way.
Ms. Gyamfi is one of the most extreme partisans in the Civil Rights Division, no small distinction considering the competition among her Division colleagues. (Readers of Christian Adams’ recent book, Injustice, may recall seeing photos of Ms. Gyamfi’s Voting Section office walls filled with campaign signage supporting the election of Barack Obama.)

Read the whole thing here.


UPDATE II:  December 22, 2011
Culture of Lies Inside Obama Justice Department
Christian Adams has more on the culture of lies inside the Obama Justice Department.  He connects Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich to false statements given to Congress on both the Fast and Furious and the New Black Panther scandals.

One thing is clear, the Judiciary and Oversight committees in both chambers of Congress need to immediately get to the bottom of this.

Can 75 Members Of Congress Be Wrong?

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA), questions US Attorney General Eric Holder as he testifies before the House Judiciary Committee in Washington, DC, December 8, 2011. Holder faced a congressional hearing over a scandal which allowed US weapons to find their way into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.

A New York Times piece, A Lightning Rod Is Undeterred, begins:  “For nearly three years, Republicans have attacked Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on national security and civil rights issues. For months, they have criticized him over a gun-trafficking investigation gone awry, with dozens of leaders calling for his resignation. Last week, more than 75 members of Congress co-sponsored a House resolution expressing “no confidence” in his leadership.”

The nation’s chief law enforcement officer contends that many of his critics are playing “Washington gotcha games”.

Mr. Holder believes the strong opposition is merely political fodder.  “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,” he said.

It couldn’t be because they both have a penchant for blaming others for their colossal failures.  Nah.  That couldn’t be it.
