With 200 Mexican nationals and two American law enforcement personnel already dead, Eric Holder’s Operation Fast and Furious is ten times bigger than Watergate and Iran-Contra combined.
And the White House is actively attempting to suppress media coverage of the scandal.
The tipping point we’re facing is not only the roughly 50% of Americans who rely on government. To truly understand what we’re up against, factor in the left’s control of the bureaucratic apparatus; it’s intellectual and institutional control over the schools, the universities, and the entertainment industry; its control over the mainstream press; and most importantly (to my mind) its control — abetted by many on the right — over the way we’re told language works, which opens up the way for the left to set narratives and control meaning through coalition and manufactured consent.
We have a big hill to climb.
When this finally catches, it’ll be like a wildfire burning at the Obama administration. This is what they fear more than anything else, the possibility of Operation Gun Walker becoming the scandal that will destroy the Obama presidency.
But, keep your eyes on those bunnies occupying the parks, you media Deep Throats. And if that’s not enough distraction, maybe another downgrade or other economic setback can be arranged, to keep your attention away from all those dead people.
You don’t seem to understand that Republicans hate jobs and it’s all The Won can do to keep them at bay. He’s busy, bitches, and it’s all your fault. Without him, we’d be eating babies already!

Larry O’Donnell discovers a variant on the chickenhawk meme: *Cain, you’re a scaredy, lazy, shiftless free-rider* by implication.
Fireworks: MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell’s Hostile Interview With Herman Cain
nah we ain’t doing that sh(t no more. the effin’ commie bastrard has to be held accountable.
Larry is just attempting the re-education of one of “those” people who has shaken off the original “brainwashing.” It’s all for Herman’s own good you know. Larry just wants the best for them lesser breeds. Democrats care, it’s their heavy burden to carry, sigh.
Do I really need /sarc?
Tigers win! Yankees lose!
I feel much better now. Maybe the Yanks can go Occupy Wall Street.
No.
Thermite.
This is great. Frum has this uncanny knack of always being completely and totally wrong. He can’t even come up to stopped clock status.
Oops sorry, I know your asking Frum who????
And Huntsman too.
Trustfunders for President! They haven’t got a job to leave.
Those poor little people, they just need some guidance so they will know what’s best for them. Poor little children just need a mommy to kiss the boo-boo.
Every time I hear about this and realize that people are protesting, of all things, the fact that corporations have the gall to exist–not that our government walked guns into the hands of people that subsequently killed its own citizens–I just.
I go somewhere that is not happy for me because of rage.
I don’t like this world anymore. I don’t. It’s not the loss of the American dream, it’s the fact people are so happy to destroy it.
O’Donnell got it wrong about the freedom riders. Cain was in High School during that time. He started college after MLK’s speech in DC and civil rights legislation was in the works.
And his diatribe about avoiding the draft was hollow since O’Donnell never served. He used his student deferment from 69 until he graduated in 76. By then the draft and the war was over.
Scary Larry the Socialist is a vile fucking racist.
+1. It takes conscious will to realize that this is a phase … but it’s a reoccurring one and it’s based in the lowest of human nature; the abuse of one’s fellows by way of simple power.
I’m in a “let the world burn” mood these days. So many people want to destroy it, they can go ahead. Their very existence makes me sad and angry, and I really don’t need that.
On the plus side, I have found it’s easier to hold myself up most days by planning what I’ll do with my small sphere of influence. Focusing on how to build and repair things instead of destroying them makes the world seem a lot more hopeful.
If the OWS people did that, if they bothered to get together with each other instead of mindlessly picketing and worked on rebuilding their lives locally instead of hopelessly smashing themselves against perceived “bad luck” or “the system” that they blame their failure on, they’d get a lot further. I spent a lot of yesterday reading wearethe99percent going “you know, if they started actually trying to find each other and build support networks rather than just talk about ‘activism’, they’d solve their own problems”.
But it’s easier to ruin things and incite people to ruin than it is to build.
