Fast and Furious still biting DOJ where it hurts

Fast and Furious: Eric Holder’s bizarre House Judiciary testimony  " "How about those wiretap applications, smuggled out of Justice by a whistleblower, which prove beyond question that Holder’s inner circle was well aware of “gun walking” tactics, long before Agent Terry’s death?  Well, according to the Attorney General, that’s all George Bush’s fault." "

Holder Claims Emails Using Words ‘Fast and Furious’ Don’t Refer to Operation Fast and Furious  Oh...all right then.

Holder said "that email referred to Wide Receiver, it did not refer to Fast and Furious. That has to be noted for the record.”

"Chaffetz, after a long pause, said, "No, it doesn't. It says Fast and Furious. 'Do you think we should have Lanny participate in press when Fast and Furious and Laura’s Tucson case [Wide Receiver] are unsealed?' It's specific to Fast and Furious. That is not true, Mr. Attorney General. I'm happy to share it with you." "

Holder Caught in More Lies About Fast and Furious     During a House Judiciary Committee hearing yesterday Attorney General Eric Holder stuck to his guns on Operation Fast and Furious. He lied, denied and acted smug while his posse, Reps. Waters, Lee and Conyers held the race line.

NY Daily News Columnist: Racist Nation Prepares To Reject Obama Because He Is Black

Mediaite  "New York Daily News columnist Mike Lupicawent a little overboard in his analysis of the political landscape in a column on Friday. Lupica could not even mask his spite and resentment for the American people when he determined that the nation, still simmering with latent racism, is ready to let their most ignoble instincts take over in the fall and unseat the President. Lupica calls Barack Obama’s race “the silent issue that could doom” his election chances and says being black makes Obama the underdog ahead of November." 

Thanks for the help, Willy,er...Mr. President

The Slick Genius of Slick Willie  "It’s no secret that Clinton isn’t exactly a big fan of President Obama’s. Clinton might be the master of making other people mad, but he himself was red-faced pissed off after Team Obama accused him of racism during the 2008 primary fight. And for good reason, too. My personal take is, that was the moment the Race Card lost its trump. Playing it on Clinton, our “first black president”? Dumb move, Barack.

Defending Bloggers from Attacks, Intimidation, and Frivolous Lawsuits

David French "There have been a series of new and particularly pernicious attacks on bloggers’ free speech. For those who haven’t been following the story, roughly three weeks ago a number of conservative bloggers (both independent and affiliated with larger publications) began investigating the story of Brett Kimberlin, a radical domestic terrorist who’s been funded by several prominent leftist donors. As the investigation gained momentum, Red State’s  Erick Erickson  was subjected to a “SWAT” attack, where a fake call is made to local police reporting a shooting at the blogger’s home. Erick is not the first blogger to experience a SWAT-ing."
...."Today at the American Center for Law and Justice, we announced that we’re representing Ali and the National Bloggers Club. We intend to aggressively respond to any and all attacks on bloggers’ free-speech rights. The truth is a defense to frivolous libel claims, and the law exists to protect free speech, not enable its attackers. It is appalling and inexcusable that major leftist organizations fund a convicted domestic terrorist. It is even more appalling that the price of reporting these facts is a campaign of threats and legal intimidation."
David French is a Senior Counsel for the ACLJ. A Kentucky native, David is a 1994 graduate (cum laude) of Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts and a 1991 graduate (summa cum laude, valedictorian) of Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee.


GOP Senator Calls On DOJ To Investigate ‘SWAT-ting’ Attacks Targeting Conservative Bloggers

Megyn Kelly Airs Audio From ‘Swatting’ 911 Phone Call Targeting Conservative Bloggers    "Gallagher said that police responded to the call with helicopters and drawn weapons, waking up Frey’s family in the middle of the night. Gallagher also says that conservative bloggers are being targeted by a tactic known as “Google bombing” in which large amounts of erroneous and personal data is released – including false arrest records – to embarrass those targeted conservative bloggers."

Porta-Potties to Antiques: The Curious Journey of Obama’s ‘Green Jobs’

PJ Media;  Lawmakers accuse the Labor Department of using some broad definitions to give the president toutable green-jobs statistics.
"Galvin also answered “yes” to a string of occupations listed by Issa that the administration considers green jobs.

These include school bus driver, the guy who gases up the school bus, and a clerk at a bicycle repair job.
"And it also includes someone who works at an antique dealer, someone who sells rare books and manuscripts, or someone who works at the Salvation Army thrift shop or a consignment store. Those jobs are now considered “recycling.”
 “Do garbagemen have green jobs?” Issa asked.
 “Yes,” Galvin responded.
“How significant is it when they claim 3.1 million jobs and it seems like these are not significant at all?” Issa said, noting that “porta-potty emptying” is now considered a green job. “You weren’t training for ‘magical new jobs,’ you were training for jobs that existed.”    Bridget Johnson

Rick Moran: 'Green jobs' that aren't, but counted as such  
"Obama has claimed that "clean energy industries created 2.7 million jobs and were 'expanding rapidly.'" Maybe if you include housepainters who use green paint, you might get close to that number. Otherwise, just another epic failure of the Obama administration to deliver what he promised."
