‘Shame on You’: Democrats Blame ‘Evil’ Republicans & the NRA for Fast and Furious Fallout

Jun. 28, 2012 10:25pm Mytheos Holt

You would think a party that just had one of their landmark pieces of legislation validated by an unfriendly court would be more happy today. However, Congressional Democrats apparently see the historical vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt as a far more dangerous problem, and have spent all day blaming practically everyone they can think of for politicizing this issue and victimizing Holder, rather than doing any soul searching whatsoever.

And no matter how thoroughly unsurprising that may be, the reactions they’ve put out have still been priceless. Start with this gem from Eleanor Holmes Norton of DC, who (somehow) manages to blame not the Justice Department, but the NRA, for the death of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry:

Any doubt that today’s contempt resolution is political was put to rest when the NRA joined in to blow-torch vulnerable Democrats to vote for contempt today,” Norton said on the House floor. “The gun lobby is directly responsible for the gap in federal law that allowed purchases of guns here that were sold in Mexico and ultimately for the tragic death of a border agent. Yet our committee spent no time on the root cause of the tragedy because of a political mandate from the gun lobby.”

Eleanor Holmes Norton

Norton has made no move to substantiate this claim. Nevertheless, it is reflective of a wider effort by the Democratic leadership to portray today’s vote as a historically partisan, vicious and baseless attack on a selfless public servant, that public servant being Eric Holder. Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), for instance, led his colleagues in a chant of “shame on you” on MSNBC:

And then, apparently in the same segment, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), claimed that “there’s something evil about using the procedures of the House…to further political aims.” Watch this below:

Please note: Not one of the people quoted appears to care at all whether Holder did anything wrong. As far as they’re concerned, he is blameless and this is an entirely partisan project, never mind that most of the evidence isn’t available precisely because the Justice Department won’t release it.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

Shame on us??? How about shame on those in the “GOVERNMENT” that thought

this would be a good way to repeal the 2nd amendment starting with the Compulsive Liar

that is in control of the puppet government running the country. I honestly believe that

all true Americans should be “Bagging they’re limit” on all of Government be they

Democrap or Republican……..It needs to be torn down and rebuilt as it was suppose

to be. Things like “Justice” and “Fairness” are NOT natural forces in the Universe.

They are artificial constructs of Sentient Beings. As such they need to be

Applied with ruthless intent on all with Equal Ferocity or they are meaningless!

What we have now, with pick and choose justice is a stepping stone to mass

Murder under the guise of world order, with maximum greed for the few and

Equal nothingness for all!

  @Encinom:
  
  Then why did the ATF restrict gun sales in Texas, NM and AZ to one gun per buyer after they allowed hundreds per person if they would go to the Drug Cartels in Mexico. Even Border Enforcement was part of the plan since FBI had them look the other way when certain vehicles went South at specific check points.
  
  And some of those Gun Shop Owners have filed suit to have it over turned. Another possible Supreme Court fight, but this time they might not win.

  I’m home sick today & wasted a little time watching these liars while channel flipping. When I saw the group of demoncrats walking out on the vote / hearings & then saw the “shame on you” chant, I got a sick feeling knowing these people would go before a camera to blatantly LIE to the American public.
  
  Sometimes I really believe I’ve out lived my time. I never, ever thought I’d live to see America in this condition. And it’s all on our government.

  wrong again moron, did you not see the video or hear the audio of Holder saying that you have to brainwash the American people to do something about gun control? Of course you did or maybe you didn’t and can’t quite get it through your pea brain what that actually means. They were telling gun dealers who called to report straw buyers to sell them the guns in hopes that they would catch cartel members committing attrocities with them, then they were going to blame said gun dealers even though they were directed by ATF to sell the guns in the first place. Problem was someone in ATF wasn’t stupid enough to just toe the line and let things go and it came out that the guns were allowed to walk without any means whatsoever of tracking them. If that wasn’t stupid enough Holder and company have been lying about when they found out about the crap for a year and a half, when there is a press conference on you tube from 2009 that shows that they all knew about the damn thing and even told everyone that they were starting a new program based on the program Wide Reciever. I know this is useless trying to talk about facts to you, but to tell you the truth I hope one day you just get sick of me replying to you and making you look like the idotic a-hole that you are.

  Did ya’ll notice that the examples in the article are Steny Hoyer and Eleanor Holmes-Norton? Their constituancy consists of the District of Columbia and the MD counties that surround it. Did anyone check the crime statistics for these areas? Based on their logic the NRA is bound to be responsible for any crime commited using a firearm.

I have to agree with Eleanor Holmes Norton, because being a Democrat, she knows that there aren’t any Democrats that would vote their conscience, so it has to be NRA influence.

It’s a shame that she has such a low opinion of her co-party members.

  @RLTW At 10:20 yesterday morning I was heading to my local firing range when I heard the news about Obamacare being upheld.. I altered my route and stopped at the gun store, bought another 1000 rounds of ammo for my hand gun, bought an AR-15 and 2000 rounds, and another 500 rounds of shotgun shells. I went to the range and relieved some of my anger by firing about 400 rounds. After hearing about this crap yesterday, I think I will go back today and buy some more ammo. At least the Dems are keeping the firearms and ammo factories busy.

  Well, since this happened on Obama’s watch they can’t blame George W Bush. I guess they decided for some reason to give Sarah Palin a pass on this one. After they get tired of blaming the NRA they’ll go down the line to all the usual suspects, to Karl Rove, the Koch Brothers, Grover Norquist, Big Oil, Dick Cheney, Halliburton, and the two new ones, Bain Capital and the LDS Elders.
  
  Why blame the NRA? I would bet a thousand dollars whomever murdered that border guard was not an NRA member. I would be interested to find out how many NRA members killed somebody with a gun last year when it was not a self-defense situation.
  
  If Eric Holder were a white man, do you really think he would still be our Attorney General and not already be fired and awaiting trial over Fast and Furious?

The remaining Liberal Fascists Democrats should shut their mouths before they completely destoy our party. Many successful Democrats are pro-gun and are NRA members. State Representative Damron, Congressman Chandler, and Governor Besheer are just some of our Kentucky Democrats who support gun owners and the NRA. Also, anyone who defends Holder before actually finding out if this is a worse cover-up than Watergate is welcome to resign and let a normal non-fascist human being take their place. At least one Federal Agent and over two hundred Mexicans are dead, possibly because of Holder’s actions. Even if the level of cover-up only mirrors Watergate, this is a serious international incident against one of our two immediate neighbors. Mexico would have every right to regard this as an Act of War if the Congress or the DC prosecutor fail to fully investigate the AG’s involvement in the gun-running, the shootings, and the cover-up.

Obama who supports abortion at any stage even leaving a child living past the abortion to die, as he did 3 times in Chicago. You all deserve to lose your seat in Congress. The American people don’t trust any of you anymore, D’s or R’s.
  
  When the likes of Charlie Rangel can win back his seat, it tells me that many people in this country are too damn stupid to vote and are entitled nothing, especially the hard work and wages of others. If that is all the voters want, to be cared for, then round them up and put them on farms. It seems that many people never left the plantation behind.

  The Dems have simply reverted to the original template for Fast & Furious. The guns were never meant to be tracked, but rather allowed to spread so that the Administration could blame the resulting gun violence and general mayhem on “lax gun laws.” The statements today indicate that they intend to draw that same narrative in spite of whistleblowers from inside the DOJ who have tipped off House Republicans to the game. Look for draconian proposals for gun control to follow shortly.

They have blamed everyone so far, Bush, gun shop owners, NRA, us. If this was a program under Bush, wouldn’t they want to put all the cards out there? If Barry know nothing about it, why is he using executive privlege to cover it up? If Holder found out about it AFTTER he was appointed, why didn’t he stop it? Funny how all this seems to have happened AFTER Barry made that speech with the mexican president about how 90% of the guns came from America. These people prove time and again they have no shame.

  They did this now because they thought that this was the time and place to get away with it. Living here in NJ, I see & hear it more than some of you can imagine. The guns are always to blame for the murder of today. This is the path that the education system (AKA nanny state) has led them to believe. If there were no guns, people would not be getting murdered. The police should be the only ones with guns, they’ll keep us safe. Many in this state believe that.That’s how you get to life under a police state. New Jersey is a great example. Only if you have the money to bribe, oops, BUY a CCP you could walk the streets of Camden or Newark alone. I wonder how many of the guns used in crimes there are legally owned? Silly me, I forgot the old saying” Only when guns are outlawed, will outlaws have guns.” Another example is how can more people have been killed by guns in Chicago than over in Afghanistan this year? Once again the old saying returns as the answer. I believe that ALL of these guys think that they are smarter than slick Willy! They believe that they can & will get away with this. The problem for them is that people like myself now follow what these PUBLIC SERVANTS do that effect my everyday life. We are the PUBLIC, they are our SERVANTS! Come November, let’s remind them of that fact. As Dad told me time and again, VOTE the bums out!
