Congresswoman Shames Holder: ‘How Many More’ Agents Have To Die ‘For You To Take Responsibility?’

From Big Government:
The highlight of the exchanges today between members of the House Oversight Committee and Attorney General Eric Holder came when Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle (R-NY) was given her time to question the Attorney General regarding his responsibility in Operation Fast & Furious. The Congresswoman showed no patience for Holder's stuttering or dodging of questions and at one point said, "Excuse me, sir, my time is ticking."

Holder has to go.
The sooner, the better.
He's a menace.

Obamarrhoids1   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:30 pm

Bolder Holder cares more about the Mexican drug lords than he does about American border agents. He couldn't give a rat fart about how many die.

workinglate   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:30 pm

liberals don't take responsibility – it's against their morals to be responsible for anything other than destroying your freedoms.

"Liberalism is predicated on the notion that the bad ideas from unproductive people must be funded by productive people with good ideas"

Common_Man   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:33 pm

Eric Holder is an enemy of the people.

Our president has appointed an enemy of the people to the highest office of law enforcement in our country. We should not be surprised by the results we are seeing.

★FALCON★   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:34 pm

Holder gave the orders to burn down the Branch Davidians (according to Holder himself) – who thinks he feels any shame over Brian Terry?

BobbyGG   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:34 pm

Never going to admit he did anything wrong, just like his boss. Pathetic.

MonoPed   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:34 pm

Eric Holder is, at the very least, guilty of accessory to murder, and should be imprisoned accordingly. Time to take off the gloves when dealing with these lib-prog thugs.

FreedomFan   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:35 pm

Clue to Dims: This won't stop until Holder resigns.

Holder can't fire anyone over gun-running, because then the fingers start pointing all the way to the top.

theblessedresistance   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:35 pm

and msnbc will call Rep. Buerkle a racist in defense of eric "the red" holder

I've heard that one grows numb, with so much blood on their hands, to more blood being added.

LibertyWriter   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:39 pm

Accountability is a Republican notion. Democrats have never heard of it.

worknmal   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:39 pm

You can't shme the shameless. Throw him in the slammer for instituting this and then lying about it.

Bullonay   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:39 pm

Holder to Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle, "How many more ya got?"

MrRight   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:41 pm

Shucking and jiving comes natural to Holder.

Oregontea   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:42 pm

"Wait, I am thinking…………..

What a sack. A place in Cuba for him as well. The cell next to his master.

Pedrosito48   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:44 pm

Someday he will go to a prison that offers extra slippery soap.

Sarcastic   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:44 pm

Owned.

Holder just doesn't get it. He should resign based upon his own stupidity.

Manchops   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:45 pm

Wow. All Holder really did was paraphrase "Blame Bush." And seriously? He asks to be given CREDIT for everything that's gone RIGHT?

my nay Buh-whee   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:45 pm

Affirmative Action…GONE WRONG!

SmallGovConserv   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:45 pm

Any word on Wachovia laundering for the cartel?

heyjim55   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:47 pm

If you understand Leftist ideology you can clearly see that Holder does not see that this agents death means anything at all to his department or the Government for that matter. He is a Marxist and individuals mean nothing to them what matters is whats important to the state and what the state wants, the agents death in his mind is acceptable because he was part of the cost of doing what they wanted to do. The Soviets did this all the time 100 people could have died for some policy the state was implementing and would not have mattered what matters is did the state achieve it's goal. The rest of us live and believe in individual liberty Holder and Obama do not.

yourmamma1   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:50 pm

Holder is an embarrassment and a traitor, and should be found guilty.

BobSalem   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:52 pm

Holder has no idea what shame is. For this traitor it is a badge of honor.

Doyouwantmore   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:54 pm

The slow-as-elephants GOP leadership are finally starting to clue in to what conservatives have wanted them to do for years. It's like reverse trickle-down socio-economics!

snowwwizard   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:55 pm

Issa better have or find details, facts and evidence to bring this investigation to provable charges of negligence or criminality at the highest levels of the DoJ – I pray that Issa, at this time, is trying to get statements on record that conflict with the facts/evidence he has amassed so that Holder can also be proven to have perjured himself.

Sicks7   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:56 pm

He's obama's backbone. He won't go until barak insane obama gets kicked out of office.

MR2   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:56 pm

Holder lied Agents died.

BobSalem   February 2nd, 2012 - 12:57 pm

Smoking gun for a nice October suprise?????

Chuck47   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:00 pm

If you question Holder or Obama it is either "racist" or "political". This is the cover that our PC culture has created for these people. The dems have no choice but to support and cover for their inept leaders other wise they will disappear.

martifr   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:00 pm

Holder is a dam* liar. He should be thrown in gitmo.

syvyn11   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:01 pm

What stones! Last time I saw balls that big, I was at the beach!

THANK YOU, GOOD NIGHT! I'M HERE ALL WEEK! TRY THE VEAL!

Sicks7   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:02 pm

He should be held accountable for not knowing if he didn't know. He should be fired.

Credit?!?! He hasn't done ANYTHING. They are enforcing NO laws through his office.

Deusexmachina   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:03 pm

Obviously, there's still some shredding to be done….

nceeno   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:05 pm

jleinf   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:09 pm

Seems to me the best way to track guns to drug lords is to put a gps marker in a few guns and follow them via satelite. Hmm?

hispanicman   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:10 pm

It makes you wonder if we will ever truly get back to a Government of by and for the People.

White Rose   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:11 pm

urinthematrix   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:11 pm

Affirmative action goofball.

d106   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:16 pm

As a 40 year law enforcement veteran and now retired I am absolutely incredulous that any law enforcement agency would engage is such a program as "Fast and Furious". To knowingly and intentionally provide functional firearms to established offenders with the historical violence that drug dealers are known to harbor is not just negligence it is gross negligence and criminally negligent. How in the world such a program could be sanctioned by the supervisory chain within an agency completely escapes me. I can assure you all that had any local agency (state , county or municipal) engaged in such a scheme with the same results, i.e. the death of other officers or citizens the same Federal Department of Justice that is now on the defense would be indicting those local officials for their involvement and justifiably so. Regardless of whether one agrees with Holders politics – he is an educated man and he knows full well that this program was beyond criminally reckless. And it is pure nonsense to suggest that it takes months and months of investigations to determine who was responsible for this. That simply isn't true. The DOJ is dealing with an internal departmental investigation with full and immediate access to all the records, files, documents, e-mails, personnel, telephone and video recordings, etc., that were related to this operation. This is not a purely external matter where investigators must tediously track down and/or develope non-police witnesses, data, evidence, etc., , such as they would have to do in an organized crime investigation or a civil rights matter or something similar. Holder is stalling. And he is stalling this thing out so nothing about this horrid mess is exposed until AFTER Obamas election. He knows darn well even as he sits there who is responsible. But he dances around questions and hints at confidentiality in order to avoid embarrassing his boss – the POTUS – so this scandalous mess doesn't impact the upcoming general election. And whats even more disturbing is that the media is not demanding that this thing expeditiously move forward. Of course given the left leaning tendencies of the MSM they too prefer that the investigation is drug out until after the election.

LizardLips   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:17 pm

Agent Terry died and you lied about that and instructed your various offices and agents to lie about it.. You and they are guilty of obstruction, obfuscation and misleading a congressional investigation in an act that was at the very least, criminally negligent.. There's no question about that and I won't call you 'sir'. When that a hole in the WH goes, so will you.

d55may   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:18 pm

Or the deaths at Rudy Ridge

cdub05   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:22 pm

I AGREE, THAT KIND OF QUESTION IS BENEATH A MEMBER OF CONGRESS…………….BUT WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT FROM A REPUBLICAN…THEY ARE BENEATH………….

broadgauge   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:27 pm

Hey Urkle, when are Bush and the rest of you GOP going to take responsibility for the 4500+ American soldiers who were killed in the most incompetently executed war in Iraq, not to speak of the responsility for the 3300+ humans killed on 9/11. And you now pretend to care about Fast and Furious? Scumbags.

ChiTownTom   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:31 pm

How many? He would prefer all of them…

ChiTownTom   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:32 pm

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…

ScarySoetoro   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:33 pm

Holder will not take responsibility, but we will still hold him responsible, and that is how justice works (it's not dependent on the guilty admitting it).

goon48   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:35 pm

Here is the problem the left doesn't want Holder to go so there will be no resignation or prosecution untilt he dems find this mess to unbearable. I think Holder should be prosecuted and put in a orange jump suit.

easye2984   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:36 pm

This fool wants credit? What an arrogant a ss. It's well past time for this corrupt administrator to go.

PaBowHunter   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:37 pm

I hate to say this, but I no longer feel safe in the USA. If the people are so asleep that they will stand idly by and allow this type of government corruption, then EVERYBODY is in jeopardy of government persecution.
This is an enormous conspiracy within our government which goes all the way to the President of the United States and it seems to me that less than 10 percent of the country (and that's probably very charitable) actually gives a crap.
This one situation is clearly indicative of the apathy in this once great nation.

Very sad………..I believe the USA is dead.

ret_cpo   February 2nd, 2012 - 1:44 pm

ZERO Firings !!!! just moved the chess pieces around ! Obama wanted/needed the 2nd admendment … he needs to pull the piece of paper out of his pocket that pretty mcuh states "Black first ..American second"

Ruler4You   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:00 pm

The sweetest words he ever heard: "..or, some one does."

_TruthTeller_   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:11 pm

This lying snake could not care LESS about Brian Terry or his grieving family. He cares only for saving his corrupt a$$

"Gotcha Games"?? This POS is PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE for over 1400 guns illegally trafficked directly into the hands of Mexican drug dealers! He is a multiple FELON! And an accessory to murder! Every death from those guns are HOLDERS FAULT!

Wake up America! We are at the door of complete tyranny, when those elected and appointed to enforce and uphold the law are the very ones who disregard, violate then set themselves above the law!

Carter_FliptMe   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:17 pm

This is Chicago corruption, deceit, and 'ends justify the means-win at all costs' Thugocracy in action. Now Holder injures the People further by dragging his feet in an attempt to run out the clock on Issa's investigation. If Holder had any respect for the People, he'd resign and ask for mercy. If the Obama Administration had any, they'd fire Eric Holder.

I do have a small amount of hope for the American people in that at least some Democrats have gone on record calling for Holder to resign.

Commieobamie   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:19 pm

SHI ITE!!! It will take the murdering of ALL Americans that believe in the United States Constitution to take responsibility, "we're osama obama Commies, we HATE AMERICANS!!!". Love islamos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RanierEast   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:19 pm

Drop Obama and Holder into South Mexico and strand them so they have to walk back with only a bean bag gun and half empty canteen. That would be a good start at justice. Are you going to cry that's not fair? Tell that to the unfair fight you set up Holder when you gave border patrol bean bag guns!

burns1   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:21 pm

That last minute was the most disrespectful and dishonest thing this scum bag could have said. That just proves that he along with Nobama hate the constitution and all of what America stands for.

jackwood   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:27 pm

So it took a woman with big enough cahones enough to stand up against Holder? Where is the anger among the other go-along-to-get-along Republicans in Congress? This administration is so corrupt, starting with Holder, it could be discredited and dismantled if other Republican gutless wonders would speak up. No guts.

sweetnsalty1   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:35 pm

Boy was he stuttering he knows full well his butt is on the chopping block.

Iamwitheileen   February 2nd, 2012 - 2:37 pm

Come on Republicans…speak up and speak out…against this gangster administration and even worse…these socialist/communists seeking to take America down from within by dismantling our Constitution…the law of our land!

STATES PRESSING THE BIRTH ISSUE FOR 2012 AND BEYOND; GOD BLESS THEM!

There are not that many agents on the payroll. Being a traitorous libtard means never having to take responsibility.

tiredofdemslies   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:00 pm

Whoever replaces him might be worse if that's possible. That may be why they are stalling. They are trying to find someone more vile (if possible).

OldmanRick   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:01 pm

The buck stops at the oval office. Holder is protecting State, ATF, FBI, DEA, ICE, and the toddler.

tiredofdemslies   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:03 pm

I bet there is proof that this goea all to way to Obama and they are trying to make sure they scrubb everything they have (Obama Administration). If Holder becomes a too much of a liability, Obama will throw him under the bus.

CJCulpper   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:03 pm

This man has no shame and sleeps well at nite I'm sure.
If it was a Black Panther killed or Illegal killed he would be more forthright with answers .

And as far as Holder being on the "Hot Seat" , when your going to hell its just a tease

dgleon   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:51 pm

This headline would be better stated as " Congresswoman ATTEMPTS to Shame Holder". Holder has no heart, no soul, no shame. He doesn't even know that he is a total incompetent.

Rubicon   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:58 pm

This whole plan was hatched from the top. Holder is just the middle man.

Our right to bear arms, is the last defense against tyranny. The Founding Fathers set it up that way – to reinforce power of the people, by the people, etc. Obama and his socialist thugs have already taken control of our means of production, they have attacked and are destroying religion, and they are creating an entitlement class that is dependent on big govt to support them – in order to guarantee they vote democrat.

Read any Socialist or Marxist writings throughout history and you will find that the last remaining defense against tyranny are God and an armed populace. Stalin said "once we dis-armed the people, and replaced the worship of God with worshipping the State – the revolution was complete".

Sound familiar? The Obamanista's are much more than just incompetent – they are following a well thought out plan to transform (destroy) America as we know it! Obama even says so!

Stop Obama! Save America!

moviebren   February 2nd, 2012 - 3:58 pm

The arrogance! Does he think that an appointed stooge head of DOJ doesn't have to answer to a congressman in an official hearing? And the gall to lecture her about election year politics and what a fine job he's doing? He's doing a damn fine job of stonewalling to give cover for Obama. He won't be in power forever…

Please, when can we rendition this traitor?

Holder is a rat and should be serving time in a prison somewhere. Holder is a cry baby too. Worthless scum bag.

richardporter   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:01 pm

In Holder's defense, Rep. Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., claimed the committee has "not obtained one shred of evidence that would contradict your testimony."

"Not one witness, not one document, not one e-mail, and still some continue to suggest that you did personally authorize gunwalking and the tactics in Operation Fast and Furious."

"In Holder's defense,"

He has none.

He should be indicted as an accessory to murder.

I hope the GOP Congress is reading this but I don' think these people are going to blink until they are looking down the barrel of 15-25 years in prison.

So, that's what you got from this interview: Nice pearls?

DaveThePatriot   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:39 pm

He should be held accountable for the Black Panthers shame, maybe the "Only the White people commit voter fraud" shame too, maybe the TSA shame, and certainly Fast and Furious. Investigations should begin on all the things we don't know this guy should get credit for as well. God only knows what nasty business he's been up to.

DanielShays   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:49 pm

Fit him for the orange jump suit

mjazz   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:51 pm

God Bless Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle .

cjk   February 2nd, 2012 - 4:59 pm

When that POS said he should be given credit during the last few seconds of the clip, I swear I would have cut that sh*thead short and asked if he should get credit for letting the Black Panther voter intimidaters go free after they were pretty much all but sentenced for their crimes.
