Really Mr. Holder . . .

[sonofdaxjones]

if I am reading through the lines correctly, you're actually trying to turn the reality that you and your department failed to turn over subpoenaed documents . . . into a race issue??   Absolutely fascinating.

Tell your boss to let Kevin O'Reilly be questioned by Congress and most of your troubles will likely be over . . . or maybe not.

“Forget about me [specifically]. Look at the way the attorney general of the United States was treated yesterday by a House committee,” Holder told the crowd. “What attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?”

I can think of at least one other Attorney's General and president combo that have been treated this way by congress, but I don't remember them whining about it.

They were white tho. So were Clinton/Reno. Just no race cards available to those teams. Sad really.

I really don't get the racism part of that column.  I don't get where the Dems supposedly played it and I don't get why Boehner would have to respond to it.

I know middle aged dads in the Wichita area who hated the fact we had a black mayor, a black police chief and a Mexican fire chief at the same time.  I can only wonder what they think of the black president and his black AG.

In fairness to fsd, Holder has/had no right to withhold or possibly destroy documents that have lawfully been subpoenad

Wait - did they actually say that, or are you just kinda assuming that's what they think? If true, why are you hanging out with racists? You should probably get out of that circle.

They've voiced their displeasure and they're not in my inner circle but happened to be related to my friends.

Getting a grip on reality means accepting that yes people still do hate the idea of a black president.

Bigots gonna bigot. What do you expect from some loser with an epithet for a username?

Has any previous AG presided over more fuckups than Holder?

A legal opinion from Holder is worth slightly less than a legal opinion from Phil Kline, if that helps.

Reno was pretty awful (Waco and Elian Gonzalez come to mind) but not as corrupt as Holder, and that's saying something.

Ashcroft was a special brand of cockbag.

Seems like Attorney General is just a position to get nailed to the wall.  I would imagine it is tough to get out of there with a great reputation intact.
