Eric Holder Claims Racism Responsible for Fast and Furious Criticism | The Weekly Standard

You knew it was coming. Atty Gen. Eric Holder claims that his many critics are motivated by racism.
Quote:
Originally Posted by New York Times
Of that group of critics, Mr. Holder said he believed that a few — the “more extreme segment” — were motivated by animus against Mr. Obama and that he served as a stand-in for him. “This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him,” he said, “both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that we’re both African-American.”
Already the DOJ has been caught providing false info to Congress regarding F&F. We still don't really know what Holder knew and when he knew it, but we do know that the operation was aimed at providing fodder for his pet policy of gun control. Holder has been a strong advocate for gun control since his days in the Clinton admin under Janet Reno. We also know that over a year after a Border Patrol agent was shot with one of the F&F guns, the DOJ has yet to hold anyone accountable for the operation Holder now admits was wrongheaded.

Good summary of the F&F history here, and the lack of accountability is here:

Well, if my level of respect for Eric Holder could have dropped any lower, this nonsense would have done it.

You want to know why it starts raining when your outside without a coat or umbrella? Racism
Know why hurricanes strike Florida and the gulf coast so often? Racism.
When a white man wakes up in the morning and takes a shower, clearly this is racism.
When a white family is eating breakfast together, there could not be a clearer cut case of racism.
When one black man shoot another black man in the head, it never would have happened if it hand't been for all those white supremacists and racists out there.
When a black man rapes a black woman, it's racism.
When a black man rapes a white woman, that too is racism.
If a white person loses their job these days, it's a bad economy. If it black person loses their job it's racism.

Yes there are cases of racism out there. Pulling the race card every time something doesn't go your way cheapens the real cases and makes people less sympathetic -- much like the boy who cried wolf.

What a clown. The fact that a man that is the Attorney General would stoop to such a pathetic tactic really says a lot about his character and his regard for the position that he holds.

If the media did its job, they would demand that Holder substantiate this accusation of racism. Exactly whom is he talking about, and what is the evidence of their racism? As atty gen, especially a purportedly liberal one, isn't is pretty basic that accusations must be substantiated??? Or are we back to the days where authorities can toss out a random, baseless accusation and the mob then does a random lynching??? C'mon media, do your job you useless slugs.

Ifind it unbelievable that this guy can get away with NOT answering the questions put to him by the congressional panel charged with investigating this fast and furious scheme.

As has been the way of the obama administration from day one...if you question or challenge obama himself OR a black in his administration, then the race card is ALWAYS played...this time by the one being criticized and scrutinized himself....HOLDER. Usually it is the left wing *******s who are the first to shout it from the rooftops.

Yep....we made history in 2008 alright....we elected a black president that NOBODY can question or criticize without being dismissed as a racist...and that trickles down to all blacks in his administration. Yep...H I S T O R Y

Stop being racist and that would take away the tactic
