Clueless or dishonest are the only choices available now. Well, other than “both.”
At a House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing Thursday, Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Calif.) asked Holder about the practice [of requiring photo ID to enter federal courthouses], which has been standard procedure at most, if not all, federal courthouses for the last decade or so.
“If I were to go to the federal courthouse here in D.C., either as a party or as an attorney, wouldn’t I have to show a government-issued photo ID?” Lungren asked.
“That’s not been my experience, here in DC. I don’t — you know,” Holder replied.
“Some federal courts — are you aware that’s required in some federal courts in this land?” Lungren said.
“I don’t know,” Holder replied.
“Is your Justice Department investigating the discriminatory effect of those laws?” Lungren asked, after citing other places where one is told to show ID, like the airport and even when visiting the Justice Department itself.
Holder said Lungren’s comparison was off the mark, because the right to vote is the “most fundamental constitutional right.”
“Through the vote, I can change the government,” Holder noted.
The attorney general also insisted that visitors do not need photo ID to enter Justice Department headquarters. (You’ll certainly be asked for it. Trust me.)
Trust isn’t necessary here. PJTV went undercover to see if photo ID is required to enter DOJ headquarters, along with several other lefty groups that oppose photo ID for voting. Watch the video. The DOJ section is about 2:50 into the video.
Clueless or Dishonest. Both, obviously.
But it’s far far more than that.
Holder is a key accomplice in the crime of deliberately destroying the greatest force for good created by mankind in human history.
Saying he’s stupid just trivializes the impact of what his fellow criminals are trying to do.
He’s both clueless and dishonest, in that he’s both bought and paid for.
He’s your A-1 prime, blue-star, industrial grade bureaucratic flunky. Not a thought in his head, nor any possibility of shame or embarrassment for what he does, as long as he is doing what he was told.
As they say, these might be virtues in a private, but are faults in a(n attorney) general.
I say both too, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is the result is malicious, destructive. and evil.
The only rational answer is “both”, of course. But do not forget to add that these are in no way our countrymen/women; and all that implies.
Subotai Bahadur
– both. Last week you asked if the President was dishonest or naive. If the President believes his own lies, he is lying to himself and is both. Same with Holder. As an ordinary citizens, we have to show I.D. and walk through magnetometers whether its the Capitol or our own city halls.
I can give Holder the clueless bit – clueless about what this country really is – err was. I also give him dishonest because he’s doing everything in his power to change something he clearly doesn’t understand.
As for the showing ID at certain places I can understand that too. He’s always had someone at the door opening it up for him – affirmative action – his current title – etc. I’ve always had to pry those doors open on my own so I understand having to show credentials to gain access. I’m white and nobody has given me more than a helping hand up (seldom) whereas Holder has always been given the hand out (often). Life isn’t fair is it Mr. Holder?
Give poor Holder a break,,,he is quite busy with important work such as preparing a Marc Rich like pardon with John Corzine’s name on it. Otherwise JC wont pass him and Obama the account numbers to their retirement accounts.
“Through the vote, I can change the government.”
Yes, Mr. Holder, which is precisely why the election process and votes cast by legitimate voters must be rigorously protected with voter ID.
Definitely both, but I also think he’s such a habitual liar that he can’t tell the difference between lies and the truth anymore. Don’t most federal office workers have their federal ID on them all day?
Holder’s not clueless, he’s pretending to be clueless as a distraction and to stonewall. Republicans questioning him are so busy reacting with incredulity to his feigned ignorance, they’re not moving on to the actual matters at hand and going for his throat as they should be. His is a calculated play to short circuit their investigation and it seems to be working. They need to save their expressions of flabbergasted disbelief for the end of the day, when they all meet at the local watering hole for a few beers. While they have him at their mercy, they need to focus and follow through.
BINGO! All a horse and pony show. All these “servants of the people”, execpt a few honorable ones, are as useless as b@$%#& on a bishop, to qoute a WWII vet.
The cluelessness is clearly intermittant occuring when he hasn’t recieved his ‘marching orders’ yet.
The dishonesty is so far advanced that any more of it will put him in danger of going full circle and back to, perish the thought, truth.
and not
both either
to put it plain and simple
he’s evil
that goes
for the no name
in the white house
too
Holder is so crooked that he has to screw his socks on IMHO.
Dishonest
This is one of those cases where the outcome is what matters more than whether he’s stupid, crazy or evil. When a dog runs through town attacking people and causing grievous bodily harm, we don’t ask Animal Control to ascertain whether he’s sick or merely following his training.
That is a trick question! Attorney General Holder is actually an idiot-savant but without the savant part.
Back in 2008, some people were calling Obama the “Jedi Mind Trick Candidate.” Apparently Holder thinks the Jedi Mind Trick works on Congress.
Both. Gimme question . . .
Holder’s rackets are so many they can’t be merely listed in a comment box, without doing him an injustice, ho ho ho.
If Congress has the power to jail witnesses for contempt, why is Eric Holder still walking free?
It seems to me that Issa and over 160 others have been generously providing clues to the Attorney General for some time now. Therefore, his receipt of those clues, by their very nature, render the first option…impossible.
Moreover, Holder’s response has been to seek White House counsel and direction…proof positive that he indeed has at least SOME clues,… that he needs to somehow become the Holder in Due Course Correction.
The Rich pardon revealed that Holder has no integrity. Call him clueless, dishonest, evil, or whatever you want. The simple fact is that he has no integrity.
Holder is a treasonous, dishonest, liar. In my opinion he should be brought up on charges and tossed in federal prison for subverting the voting process. The question should’ve been, if Mr. Holders wife haf come to see him, would she need to show ID? Everyone knows who the boss is, but I doubt she would get inside without ID.
When someone asks if AG Holder is lying, I always assume that the question is rhetorical. Of course he is obfuscating, that’s been elevated to Olympian levels in Obama’s administration. Is he clueless too? That’s a bit trickier. He certainly does know that ID is required for admission to secure facilities or driving cars or cashing checks or renting housing, etc. He also knows that ID laws protect disenfranchisement of legitimate voters by illegitimate ones, and are discouraging to the dead, the felon, and the illegal alien, mainline constituencies of the democrat party, constituencies he is attempting to build. (Think about that one.) That would be the dishonest and evil part.
But he certainly is clueless if he thinks we’ll put up with it for much longer. The voters are on the cusp of “changing the country with the vote” in November, for the better. Go Mitt.
The instant dead people start voting Republican will be the instant that the Left starts clamoring for votor ID laws.
I feel that millions of Americans feel as I do that simply being voted out of office and therefore out of power is not enough for these scumbags. They have broken the law(s) numerous times, have caused the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent along with thousands of innocent Mexican nationals, and should not be above justice. Period. But, we are not naive, we know how the ‘system’ works: they have dirt on other legislators, don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house, yeah, we get it. Will this corrupt administration ever face true justice and serve time for their crimes? Mr. Preston, do you see any scenario where at least Holder is marched out of the Capitol via the perp walk? Obama could murder the Pope on live TV and get away with it….these politicians are so sleazy and corrupt that they keep each other from prosecution because most of them know he or she could be next. This administration’s crimes and cover-ups makes Watergate look like a parking ticket. Will ANY OF THEM ever see a prison cell, Bryan?
I agree that simply voting them out of office is crucial but NOT enough. I want to see the guilty pay for their law-breaking activities. If they don’t get some real punishment aside from losing their plush jobs, nothing will ever change. Seeing these people behind bars is the only way others will think twice before emulating their actions.
Along with “dishonest” and “clueless” accompanying them is “under-the-radar” and “gun control.”
This “Fast-and-Furious” botched attempt at having a Treaty with the UN to Ban all weapons in hands of civilians, worldwide, including the USA is proof positive of what’s in store for US’s Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence…not to mention all Federalist Papaers, when this administration successfully gerrymanders its re-election.
Silence, prevarication, deliberate insubordination, and every Chigaco-style political trickery is on full display for every American to witness and see total disregard for the “Rule of Law.” God Bless America. Amen.
Thanks PJ media, send this to Fox and CNN
Is this really an either/or proposition or can I choose “ALL of the Above”?
