is a creepy dude
Video has surfaced from the archives of Eric Holder talking about how he's told school boards that they should "brainwash" kids into believing guns are bad. The video is from 1995 and is quite disturbing, not just from a 2nd Amendment standpoint - but even more so that he views American children as little programmable robots.

Eric Holder's "Conspiracy" Against Pro-Life Advocates
Eric Holder is a busy man. When President Obama's chief law enforcement officer isn't tied up selling guns to Mexican drug cartels, refusing to prosecute self-serving cases of voter intimidation or ignoring "wanted dead or alive" bounties placed by black militants on the heads of private citizens, he's busy conspiring with pro-abortion extremists to bring the full weight of the federal government down upon innocent pro-life advocates.

Voting on strictly partisan lines, a House committee recommended Wednesday that Attorney General Eric Holder be cited for contempt of Congress for failing to turn over documents relating to the botched Fast and Furious weapons sting operation.
The measure now goes to the full House for consideration, expected next week, of what would be an unprecedented event -- Congress holding a sitting attorney general in contempt. Ref. CNN

The House of Representatives voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in criminal contempt for refusing to turn over documents tied to the Fast and Furious gun-running sting.
The 255-67 vote marked the first time in American history that the head of the Justice Department has been held in contempt by Congress. Almost every House Republican backed the measure, along with nearly 20 Democrats.
House members are also expected to pass a civil contempt measure later in the day. Ref. CNN
The House of Representatives passed a civil contempt measure against Attorney General Eric Holder for his refusal to turn over documents tied to the Fast and Furious gun-running sting.
The House earlier approved a criminal contempt measure. The civil measure passed in a sharply polarized 258-95 vote.
A large number of Democrats -- including members of the Congressional Black Caucus and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi -- walked off the House floor in protest and refused to participate in the criminal contempt vote.
Speaking in New Orleans, Holder dismissed the House action as "the regrettable culmination of what became a misguided -- and politically motivated -- investigation during an election year." Ref. CNN

A few days ago Obama spokesman Jay Carney tried to tie Bush era operations like Wide Receiver with Operation Fast and Furious. If you watch something other than MSNBC you would know there is little in common between the Bush era operations and what Obama/Holder did. The fact is, in the other cases they were run like any other classic police show set up you have ever seen. Whether it is drugs, fake bombs, guns, etc... this is done all the time. The contraband objects the criminals wanted to get never left the careful watch of Law Enforcement and then...
