Fast and Furious just another fraud by the left!
The Leftists need to disarm the general population in order to complete the transformation and change they have in mind. The utopian socialist vision envisioned by the Left is their end goal. This vision is flawed and has been repeatedly tried again and again over the last three hundred years all ending in the same horrible fashion. Every time they try some first die at the hands of their Socialist comrades as they are murdered for not allowing themselves to be brain washed (AKA reeducated for the cause). Many more always end up starving after the government can not feed us all after the succubus big government leviathan ruins any and all productivity from those that generated the food before the system was fundamentally irreversibly changed.
The general population has to be disarmed before they can implement the final phase of our Progressive Socialist Utopian conversion. The transparent motives of Obama, Eric Holder and their fellow conspirators is so obvious that even a blind man can see it. The guns they coerced upstanding dealers to sell to thugs knowing full well that some would end up getting used in violent crimes that they could then use to further anti gun legislation against honest citizens of this exceptional country.
President Obama took an oath to protect and uphold the US Constitution and the second amendment is a important part of that Constitution. Our founding fathers knew that an important part of our collective freedom was the ability to defend ourselves, friends, family and neighbors with arms.
Below is great article written by Katie Pavlich that chronicles the coverup and stonewalling by Holder quite well.
Capitol Hill -- After thirteen months of investigation
into the Obama Justice Department’s lethal Operation Fast and Furious
and Attorney General Eric Holder’s sixth time answering questions from
Congress on the topic, we are stuck with stonewalling, non-answers and
more calls for gun control.
“This committee has lost its patience to wait longer,” Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Darrell Issa said.
It was a tense scene inside the committee room when Eric Holder arrived
for his testimony. Unexpectedly, ATF whistleblower John Dodson, who
came forward first to expose details of Fast and Furious, along with
Issa approached Holder for a brief conversation before Holder took his
seat.

“Have you apologized to the whistleblowers who in effect were called
liars within your agency who we know were telling the truth?” Indiana
Rep. Dan Burton asked Holder.
“No,” Holder responded, saying if whistleblowers wanted to discuss an issue they could “give him a call.”
The reoccurring theme throughout the hearing was stonewalling.
"Fortress Holder" graphics were displayed outside of the hearing room
and he was continually pressed about why his department refused to
cooperative with the Congressional investigation into the program. Out
of 80,000 documents relevant to Operation Fast and Furious, the
committee has received just 6,000.
“We’ve been down that road before, and we’ve gotten them [documents],”
Rep. Burton said referring to Eric Holder stonewalling Congress for
information and refusing to submit thousands of requested documents in
unredacted form. “I think you’re hiding behind something here that won’t
stand up.”
Holder adamantly denied his department was involved in a cover-up.
"There is no attempt of a cover-up, we have shared huge amounts of information,” Holder said.
Burton encouraged Issa to proceed with a contempt citation if
stonewalling from Holder’s Justice Department continues to withhold
requested information.
In the six times Holder has been questioned about his knowledge of Fast
and Furious, he has been presented with emails and memos detailing and
discussing the program. Some of those memos were addressed directly to
him as early as July 2010. In May 2011, Holder said he had known about
Fast and Furious for “a couple of weeks.” Then in November, Holder said
he should have said he knew about the program for a couple of months.
Today, he said he found out about the program in February 2010, but
didn’t know about tactics being used between November 2009 and December
2010 just before Brian Terry was killed. His defense has been that he
didn’t see the memos, read the memos or wasn’t told by his staff what
was in the memos about the program.
“Mr. Holder, you’re well known in this town for not reading memos,”
Michigan Rep. Tim Walberg said. “What does that say about your
leadership and management that you’ve consistently failed to read your
memos?”
Holder responded by saying the American people should give him credit
for how he has handled the situation, for the “good things” the Justice
Department has accomplished during his time as attorney general. He
touted the war on terror and his gains in the Justice Department when it
comes to the civil rights division. He also said the American people
should give him credit for his work on Fast and Furious and called the
investigation a “political gotcha' game in an election year.”
When asked whether he would have approved gun walking techniques,
Holder said “no,” calling the tactic “stupid” and “dangerous,” yet he
hasn’t fired anyone who we know approved of gunwalking techniques.
“You as the Attorney General, or someone does, needs to be held
accountable,” Rep. Buerkle said. “How many more border patrol agents
would have had to die for you to take responsibility?”
Holder also denied that Fast and Furious was developed as a way to push
through new gun control measures, yet mentioned the Obama
administration’s full support for the instatement of the assault rifle
ban.
"The notion that somehow or other that this was set up to attack Second
Amendment rights is not correct," Holder said, but later adding, "This
administration has consistently supported the reinstatement of the
assault weapons ban."
