Allen West disgusted by Holder playing the race card over Fast and Furious

Posted by The Right Scoop on December 22nd, 2011 in Politics | 32 Comments

In an interview with the NRA, West slammed Holder for his use of the race card in his defense of Fast and Furious:

I’m disgusted. I find it absolutely reprehensible because this is not about skin color. This is about your character. This is about your competence. This is about your ability to lead. And this is about potentially you having misled the Congress and the American people on this operation Fast and Furious.

It is a slap in my face as a professional African American member of Congress and a career military officer, that this gentleman who is the head of the Department of Justice is going to resort to that very nefarious theme of the race card.

Here’s the full interview:

Way to go Rep. West. Keep it up-would like to see you in a leadership position next go round.

Believe me toon- I have the same thing going on. And, yes, I too get reminders ;-)

Aw quit it! I heard this once from someone on here- you look mahvolas! ;-) I have a card that says the meaning of names and a Scripture verse for each one- yours has Proverbs 3:5 on it. It seems to me that you hold well to the verse, so it would make sense that you hold well to the meaning behind the name as well!

Whenever weasels get cornered, they fight back with any weapon handy. Holder has no comeback, no answer, nothing, nada, bupkis to defend himself with in this latest DOJ bungle, so, he pulls the race card, like any desperate Dumb-o-crat would.

My hand is feeling SO much better today! I highly recommend blown kisses and frozen broccoli as therapy! ;-)

I've heard that AA saying before, but the Irish one is new to me and makes one smile- yet pause and really think. I think I will write that one down so as I can check my attitude! Thanks for that bit o' shared wisdom my friend! :-)

dear leader and his minions have no character so they constantly have to play the race card. Those who blindly follow their antichrist messiah willingly fall for the race thing and work to bring on a new race war. I am glad for folks like West who can stand up and say, we don't play that - try again.

Someone I once knew said, those that accuse the hardest are what they accuse others of being. We have the biggest racist in the White House now, and those who voted for him are much the same.
