Limbaugh: Holder Using Terror Plot Presser to ‘Sidestep’ Fast & Furious Issue

Rush Limbaugh has a theory on Tuesday’s press conference announcing the U.S. foiled a massive terror plot on U.S. soil: it’s a distraction to get the media attention off Attorney General Eric Holder and his Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal.
“What a great way to sidestep the fact that he’s being delivered a subpoena for Fast and Furious,” Rush said, a reference to a report that GOP Rep. Issa is calling for more information from Holder regarding what he knew (and when) about the DOJ’s failed gunwalking program, and could send subpoenas this week.
“So here comes Holder. What nice timing; give him something to distract everybody away from Fast and Furious. That’s exactly what this is. … What great timing. … No question in my mind what Holder’s press conference is about.”
DailyRushbo has the audio:
So was Rush right? Well, Holder did end the press conference immediately after a fielding one question a reporter sneaked in about Fast and Furious:

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 5:54pmYup, Holder thinks he is fooling us. Heck, Obama is hoping that too. We are not quite that dumb yet. He needs to be taken to the woodshed. However, knowing our prez, they will stall him or bury it all under the heading of “National Security”. We must get Obama out to get Holder because taking down Holder is not going to fix the situation. Holder will lie. Obama will protect him and lie too. They gambled on us being dumb. They gambled on the press shoving it under the rug like they have with everything else. This time we were not fooled. Foiled a terrorist plot! Ha, that isn’t even news, probably isn’t even real, let alone good enough to let him ride. Come on Holder, if you are going to lie or be a crook, give us the courtesy of making the lie believable! This was not even worth our attention. ggeesss!

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 5:50pmWhy is it that each time the government “Foils a Terror Plot”, they first have to coerce that person into doing so first? Why do they keep on playing chicken with people’s lives? The government never keeps us safer, so all of this “in the name National Security” stuff is just theater.
You’re four more times more likely to die of a lightning strike than to be killed by a terrorist. I fear my government more than any “terrorist” and you should too.

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 5:46pmMan you got that right, exactly what I thought and was saying. I can guarantee you it is tied together in one degree or another. When asked a question about it they (justice dept.) will be all like “Oh we dont have time for that silliness right now, we have a terror plot to deal with!” And they will roll their eyes when its brought up and give the smirks like he did when asked about it today during the press conference. I would like to take this oppertunity to tell everyone that I know I sound synical and down-beat and negative and all that but I didnt used to be like this at all, it all started when I started paying attention to politics and watching the news on 9-11-01. I used to be a happy go-lucky guy with not a care in the world and if someone were to ask me who our President was I would probably have to stop and think a minute but since 9-11 I started watching the news 24/7 (you know when not working or sleeping) and started paying attention to politics and my life has been miserable ever since! lol. I laugh to keep from crying. Im beginning to wish I would have never started paying attention to any of it, but too late now huh!

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 5:33pmWhile we are on the subject of Rush Limbaugh, great guy, we need to clarify something he got wrong today. He said that a new scandal had come out about Romney…
Now, we all know that MSNBC is in the pocket of Obama, right? Today MSNBC reported that a Romney Adviser met with Obama 3 times about ObamaCare off of RomneyCare. The truth is that this is a recycled report, in order to destroy Romney’s campaign. The truth is Democrats have been using this guy as an adviser for years, even named the Democrat Parties ‘most influential health care expert.’ Truth is he met with Romney only once. This is a story reported back in March 2010. And recycled again. All of these articles are on http://www.thedailycandidate.com.
Romney’s true top adviser was Edmund Haislmaier from the Heritage Foundation. He wrote a great article about it at: http://www.heritage.org/research/commentary/2006/01/mitts-fit

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 5:25pmYeah – I posted that here on the other thread when I heard him. They’ve known about this for months. BREAKING – Daley has announced he is leaving after the election. Think this is good news – things are crumbling in the WH.
“White House Insider reports have indicated Daley was in a prolonged power-play against Pres. adviser Valerie Jarrett. The fact Daley made his intent known in an over-the-weekend interview to NBC Chicago affiliate WMAQ-TV prior to any official WH announcement would appear to give further evidence of such a rift. Previous info:
“..we are engaging against Obama’s re-election – continuing to push ERIC HOLDER out of the DOJ, securing a primary challenger, and the other thing…it relates to a staffing issue. The loss of a critical member of the Obama staff (Daley). A resignation that will further the growing perception that the Obama WH is a place of internal disarray– which it absolutely is. And this event will also be a signal to those in the Dem Party that Obama’s re-election is not in their best future interests. It’s time we cut our losses and begin the rebuilding process .. And I’m not just talking about the Dem Party – I’m talking about the country. All of us. All of us need to correct this mistake, and that’s what the election of Obama was. At its core, that’s what it really was – a huge mistake.”

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 6:10pmObama and every person in his administration are pathological liars.
A Pathological Liar (PL) is one who lies regularly at the expense of others. He lies to manipulate, deceive or control, or as a show of power. A PL often feels no remorse and may enjoy lying. He lies to get out of trouble, to get what he wants or for the sheer rush. He disregards the pain and hurt his lies cause. According to Yale Clinical and Psychiatric professors Charles C. ****, Madelon Baranoksi and Ezra Griffith, PLs may suffer from serious mental illness, disassociation from their actions or antipathy toward people in general.
