There are some things I am capable of believing. One of these things is that this kind of incompetence would not be reported from the local level up the chain of command.

But, that’s not the case here, as even the IGs report says it was known at high levels in the Justice Department, if not by Eric Holder, personally.

What I can’t believe is that this operation would go up the chain of command and stop with Asst. Attorney General Lanny Breuer. Give me a break. That man could not be so incompetent as to fail to realize the human and foreign policy implications of this stretch beyond his jurisdiction. Give me a break. The President of the United States is going to be told of this if it is known at the highest levels of the Justice Department. I just hope someday we know the name of every person in the administration who was aware of this (Hillary?) so we can make sure they never again hold federal office.

Exactly. But, you have to understand this: Mitt Romney is awkward. The media tells me that is what is important here.

Until there is a movement in this country to demand that those with FCC licenses actually cover the “news,” we are lost. This Univision report should have all of us calling for the resignations of the chiefs of the three major networks that refused to cover Fast and Furious until the last days of Issa’s investigation.

What is news is in the eye of the beholder. A few hours after the Univision special, ABC News released their poll which covered “Which candidate would you prefer to see on Dancing With the Stars?” and “Which candidate would you rather have listen to your music playlist?” Both are cases of compelling, hard hitting investigative journalism.

I just finished watching this in Spanish on Univision. Amazing! A Deputy Assistant U.S. Attorney should be able to get at least 50 U.S. Government employes indicted on a series of “conspiracy to commit ….” [you can fill in the blank, but include murder, rape, robbery, suborning foreign officials, etc.]. The whole thing runs with English closed captioning, so Issa and Grassley should have an easy time writing their subpoenas.

I have posted in the comment section before and I will say it again. Why has the GOP leadership (in fact, every senator and representative should raised so much unrelenting hell with the media and its coverage of “Fast and Furious”; “Solyndra” and the other green energy frauds encapsulated in Obama’s crony capitalism; Obama’s handling of the BP oil spill and the elimination of jobs due to it and Obama’s use of the environment to deliberate weaken the USA and its need for energy independence; not to mention the egregious way in which this man has attempted to undermine the constitution at every point–czars who are not approved by Congress and answer to no one but the President, union attempts to end secret ballots with Obama’s support, a law with even some GOP support that allows the President to declare a state of emergency on whatever whim he so desires, American citizens that can be detained indefinitely without benefit of trial, attempts to pass an Orwellian “Fairness Doctrine” that would end whatever mass communication voice which is not controlled by the Left, and attempts to pass bills to place curbs on the Internet. The Marxists are winning, because the GOP won’t take the fight to the people.

As usual, the GOP doesn’t care if they win the Presidency. The country club Republicans will think that as long as they hold on to the House and maybe pick up the Senate, they will be able to prevent the Left from negatively affecting their interests. Romney may actually make a good president, but he is the worse GOP candidate since Bob Dole. Obama will chew him up and spit him out with Wednesday’s first debate.

I hope Romney comes out swinging on F&F at the debate. It’s a win-win issue for him.

I don’t get your point then. Are you calling for gun control? Tighter gun restrictions? Should we limit gun purchases at border locations? What exactly are you calling for to happen? Are you’re siding with the Mexican media on it’s feigned outrage? They’re blaming US gun laws. Are you? Should we should change US laws here because a bunch of Mexican drug people were killed with guns purchased here in the US?

We don’t have enough information yet to make specific policy.

For now, let’s find out what Obama/Biden/Jarrett knew and when they knew it.

Have you thought of this? How much is the Obama administration paying off the Mexican government for their relative silence on this matter? I know that if a foreign nation tried something like this while I was president it would certainly know of my displeasure and I would be looking for heads to roll. The Mexicans, they protested a little then, nothing.

I might add it may be a good idea to roll a broken down Chevy Volt on stage. The paint and decals would reflect Solyndra, Unemployment, Gas prices, Middle East in Flames, Fast & Furious. Man I would give a pretty penny to watch him take out a couple of headlights and then look over at Obama and say “Is this the best you can do?

The problem is, as horrifying as this is, and it should be repulsive to any reasonable person. However, when you are dealing with a large segment of the population that is dependent on Washington’s largesse, that segment of the population isn’t really going to care what the people at the top are doing. In the poorest, more crime ridden, destitute neighborhoods in the is country, a story about 16 kids murdered in Mexico by drug gangs, even if Obama had been there cheering them on, isn’t going to elicit much beyond a shrug of the shoulders from the residents of those neighborhoods, who live in what amounts to a war zone. The only thing they care about is that the checks keep coming, and they don’t care what the cost is in keeping them coming. That video of that idiot woman from Ohio is proof enough of that. To say “they don’t care” is a vast understatement. I worked as a 9-1-1 Operator in one of those neighborhoods, and the violence and death caused by the drug trade is almost part of the scenery for many of them…

Romney: “I am deeply ashamed for my nation that I must share the stage tonight with this horrible man, Barack Obama. It is well past time that Americans put an end to this shameful period in our history, and that we undo the evil he and his henchmen have done.” One can only wish…

“I find that it gets me to my destination faster, you know, the fear of dying and all that.”

Worst scandal in American political history. Holder needs to be fired or resign NOW. And we need to have an Independent Counsel to investigate who knew what in the White House & when they knew it.

I don’t agree. As much as I’m furious with the lack of news coverage of this horrific scandal & loss of innocent life, I would never believe that media organizations be required to report anything. It’s called the First Amendment.

The sad thing is that I had this exact argument with a very liberal black friend of mine on FaceBook yesterday. He actually asked: “When did people start giving a $#!$ about dead Mexicans”? I was utterly shocked and repulsed. But after Obama’s “bumps in the road” remark on “60 Minutes”, I won’t doubt that many liberals can be that callous.

We can dream about that…. it will never happen. I am sure, as we speak, Romney’s advisors are telling him to avoid any mention of fast and furious. I wish someone would speak out, but they won’t. “We don’t want to offend” they would say. I don’t even know what kind of impact the Univision piece is having. We know all about it, but sadly, not many other people do. I have heard nothing in the news since it ran on Sunday. The only places that I have seen carrying anything having to do with Univision’s expose are Red State and a couple of other Right wing sites. It’s the usual crickets from the networks. People cannot be outraged, if they are unaware, and don’t know what the story is.

DOJ white-washed it. We know this goes all the way to the White House. Hand down indictments for aiding and abetting mass murder in a neighboring state. Call it an act of terrorism or better yet treason. Then see who squawks vs going to jail forever or risk firing squad.

While corruption and incompetence are commonplace in government, the really frightening aspect of this whole story is that the facts of this horrible story were presented on Univision.

This is a scandal that has produced an ever growing pile of dead human beings, and most of the media will not acknowledge it. What an embarrassment.

Bravo to the team at Univision. What kind of GUTS does it take to expose corruption at the top of the US government and murderous, barbaric drug cartel leaders as well. These are real journalists, willing to risk their own necks to expose the truth,the real heirs of our precious first amendment.

OK, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. IF Eric Holder is fired/imopeached, he would recieve a Presidential pardon, andd he will then accept responsibility for EVERYTHING, as he’d be bulletproof under double jeopardy. IF however, they get voted out, and the DA of almost any jurisdiction in Arizona connvenes a Grand Jury and they hand down indictments,ssory to murder before the fact in the case of Brian Terry, there would be no amount of stonewalling Harry Reid could do to stop it!

The intent of F&F to supply criminals w/guns — to portray all gun ownership as bad & the need to strike the 2nd amendment — has not been shown in the Lamestream Media, not fitting their narrative of preventing citizens’ personal defense, which reduces crime. Look at Chicago & DC, where its very hard to legally own a gun & their murders & other crimes are high.

The only way you’ll see him there is if it is a Gay DWTS!
