I support any and all efforts by members of congress to nail Obama and Holder's asses to the WALL over this.
The MSM is protecting Obama worse than they did with Bush. Well, almost.
Yes, they are and for the life if me I still can't understand why.
I have some theories though.
over 35 thousand mexican citizens have been killed nay MURDERED from the result of gunwalker and fast and furious.

So, finally, proof of a real conspiracy that reaches to such a high level, and no one does anything about it except gossip?
Well now, that doesn't speak very well for the chances of a politician whose primary rhetoric is that we should do something about corruption, peacefully and with wisdom. What will it take for a consistent gentlemen to actually garner enough votes to be effective? Probably the same thing it will take for individuals to stop talking about personal responsibility and express it, again, peacefully and with wisdom.

This is something that needs to be on the Home Page.
I'm not surprised.
I praise this journalist, one of the only real ones out there.
I agree, however there were a lot of reporters who did their investigations and found what kind of man Obama and his cronies and acquaintances were long before he was elected,
Then nothing negative said about Obama was acceptable, and as you can see these topics still don't get the traction they deserve on these forums.
Is CBS News Silencing Fast and Furious Reporter?
Today, I called CBS News in an attempt to interview Attkisson. I was told by CBS News senior vice president of communications Sonya McNair that Attkisson would be unavailable for interviews all week. When I asked why Attkisson would be unavailable, McNair would not say.
I've also heard from a producer at another media outlet that has previously booked Attkisson that they tried to book her since she made news with the Laura Ingraham interview yesterday. They were also told that she would be unavailable.

Holder and Obama need to be tried as accessories to murder.
Obama thinks gun control is "reasonable" and he thinks censoring the "free press" is "reasonable."
Republican Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona told The Daily Caller on Wednesday that Obama administration officials responsible for Operation Fast and Furious might be accessories to murder.
“We’re talking about consequences of criminal activity, where we actually allowed guns to walk into the hands of criminals, where our livelihoods are at risk,” Gosar said in a phone interview. “When you facilitate that and a murder or a felony occurs, you’re called an accessory. That means that there’s criminal activity.”
Gosar said the government should be held to the same standard as everyone else. Fast and Furious weapons were used to kill U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, as well as scores of Mexican citizens, and he thinks administration officials should be held accountable.
“We impugn the private sector, we impugn main street America, and the bureaucracy cannot be held to any different standard whatsoever,” Gosar told TheDC, insisting that Justice Department and ATF officials “intentionally — intentionally — violated the law.”
Gosar said the administration was “showing an intentional, wanton disregard for the law,” and that “there’s got to be consequences for that.”

I hear a lot of people talking about impeachment here and I mean if Obama did in fact know this was going on (I say if only out of intellectual humility) then he deserves it, but I think we are overlooking the real problem. TPTB run these types of operations to secure untraceable funds for the "Intelligence Community" to carry out black ops. I doubt Obama had a hell of a lot to gain from this on a personal level, but as a unit in a larger organization it might serve a purpose later on down the line. Maybe organizations like the CIA control more than we think
Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 2009
The Obama administration will seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 during the Bush administration, Attorney General Eric Holder said today.

Holder Revives Talk Of An Assault Weapons Ban
Attorney General Eric Holder was busy announcing the capture of more than 50 alleged members of the notorious Sinaloa Cartel yesterday when he unwittingly stepped into a larger debate about gun control.
Responding to a reporter's question on weapons' regulations, Holder said, "Well, as President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons. I think that will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum."
Holder refused to speculate when legislation would move forward.
"There are obviously a number of things that are -- that have been taking up a substantial amount of [Obama's] time, and so, I'm not sure exactly what the sequencing will be," he said.
Gun rights groups seized on the comments.
"I think there are a lot of Democrats on Capitol Hill cringing at Eric Holder's comments right now," Wayne LaPierre, president of the National Rifle Association, told ABC News.
Lending credence to LaPierre's claims, The Hill reports that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi responded to Holder's remarks during her weekly press conference by stating, "On that score, I think we need to enforce the laws we have right now. I think it's clear the Bush administration didn't do that."

This is not the first time Sheryl Attkison has been the lone voice telling the truth in the MSM. I don't know if anyone remembers this or not, but she was also the one who broke the story about how the CDC was falsifying the stats during the swine flu outbreak to make it look like more people were getting sick than there really were so that people would get the vaccine. No one else touched that story with a ten-foot pole.
She has all my respect. These are only a couple of examples of her journalistic integrity. Kudos to her and I hope she stays safe. I wish the rest of these journalists would grow some balls.
Sharyl Attkisson Sharyl Attkisson is a CBS News investigative correspondent based in Washington. All of her stories, videos and blogs are available here.

This story is only going to get worse for the administration, thank God for people like her being willing to go after it. That said, you have to wonder who is going to get thrown under the bus for this one. I think Holder better make sure he has some dirt on those above him or he's toast.
White House defends Holder amid Fast and Furious accusations
The White House defended Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday in the face of a growing torrent of Republican criticism that he has not been truthful about his knowledge of a botched gun-tracking operation.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said that Holder has been “consistent and truthful” about when he learned of the controversial tactics used in Operation Fast and Furious, which oversaw the sale of thousands of firearms to known and suspected straw buyers for Mexican drug cartels.
“The president believes he’s an excellent attorney general and has great confidence in him, and we absolutely know that the testimony he gave was consistent and truthful,” Carney told reporters at a press briefing.

I don't think Obama dares to let Holder out of his sight or control for an instant. This has to go all the way up, or it goes nowhere. jw
