No Sir, not politics, Criminal, One U.S. Agent Killed,

Hundreds or more Mexicans Killed, 2 Men in New Mexico Jailed and left to rot, all at the hands of the

Attorney General, or his Men.

Obama wanted to stay as far away from this thing as

possible, when Holder cried Obama Came running.

Was Holder protecting Obama, was Holder going to spill the beans, Is Obama in this as deep as Holder?Americans Must have the TRUTH !

@H.O.S.

"We can only hope that this overzealous and misguided attack on Attorney General Holder is not another attempt to distract the Department of Justice from protecting and enforcing the civil, labor, and voting rights of all Americans."

What civil and labor rights are you referring to? There are no rights for Americans anymore, only the NAACP gives blacks rights but to hell with the rest of us we don't deserve protection. Mainly because what we need is protection from parasites like yourself.

I'm a white man, may I claim discrimination under the protection of the NAACP? NO.

When I was let go without good reason from my job 5 years ago did the Justice Department's civil or labor laws help me get my job back? NO

What exactly DO You people do with our tax dollars under the guise of protection? Who are you protecting exactly?

I think that your article describes in detail just exactly what your main scope is. It's intended to draw attention away from the prosecution of one of your own....Eric Holder. Downplay the crime and maybe it will do away huh? Nice try, but I hope he gets everything that's coming to him. He's not above the law and neither are any of the rest of you. Just because you work at the Justice Department doesn't mean you get a free pass to break the law anytime you feel the need to do so. I hope this thing goes so far down the rabbit hole that every single one of you is out on your asses!!

Holder is Responsible for his actions as is Obama and You and I.

One U.S. Agent is DEAD.because of holder's stunt,

Obama sticks his nose in this so I suspect Obama is in this mess neck deep.

One Agent dead, Other Americans implicated for helping, and then thrown under the bus to rot by Holder and his amateur gun running program, in addition of thousands of Mexicans tortured and killed.

This is not a which hunt of a race issue or politics,

it's criminal.

Holder is not above the Law, and neither is Obama.

The only ones playing politics Mr. Shelton are you and your collegues! If Eric Holder and President Obama had nothing to hide they would turn over EVERY SINGLE document that even remotely relates to this botched operation! As for your continued mentioning of Operation Wide Receiver. You and I both know that your gas tank is running low for counter arguments when you guys mention that operation! What is the difference you ask? Gee I dont know maybe the fact that the Bush Administration and full cooperation with the Mexican government and the fact that thousands of weapons werent intentionally lost!

And will you morons quit playing the race card please? We here in sanityville don't care if the person is white, black, yellow or brown if they are deliberately trying to smuggle weapons over the border for their political gain, they WILL be held accountable! As you will be held accountable Mr. Shelton for you and your collegues actions after Mr. Holder was rightfully held in contempt!
