Eric Holder Wants To "Brainwash" You About Guns
The Los Angeles Times' Richard Serrano has been on the Fast & Furious story like few others. Today he reveals another awful development:
Seven months after federal agents began the ill-fated Fast and Furious gun-tracking operation, they stumbled upon their main suspect in a remote Arizona outpost on the Mexican border, driving an old BMW with 74 rounds of ammunition and nine cellphones hidden inside.
Detained for questioning that day in May 2010, Manuel Fabian Celis-Acosta described to agents from theBureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosiveshis close association with a top Mexican drug cartel member, according to documents obtained this weekend by the Times/Tribune Washington Bureau.
The top Fast and Furious investigator, Special Agent Hope MacAllister, scribbled her phone number on a $10 bill after he pledged to cooperate and keep in touch with investigators.
Then Celis-Acosta disappeared into Mexico. He never called.
Breitbart.TV has uncovered old 1995 C-SPAN footage of then U.S. attorney Eric Holder talking about how the media should manipulate images and perceptions of gun usage:
"We just have to be repetitive about this. It's not enough to have a catchy ad on a Monday and then only do it every Monday. We have to do this every day of the week and just really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way."
Brainwashing might be the best explanation we have for Fast & Furious.

That's such a frequent tactic, isn't it?
Instead of accepting and respecting differences of opinion, the tactic is to simply remove the difference of opinion without having to persuade. After all, who wants to get bogged down in all those fact-and-logic thingys?
That's why a professional educational establishment, held captive to one point of view, is most guilty of laziness. They can't be bothered to persuade, so they cheat - they get assent from students without earning it through reason.

Re: Eric Holder Wants To "Brainwash" You About Guns
I must confess that on Fast and Furious I've been dismissive of those who argued that the Feds did it as a means of supporting their anti-gun efforts. Looks like I was wrong. There is nothing this administration will not do to force their leftism on the rest of us.
Nice product placement. I assume I can get Brainwash at all major outlets.

Language matters, and the language these people use... especially when they think people aren't looking... is very telling. Despite his professed Christianity, "Bitter Clingers" told me more about Barack Obama's real character than any testimony I've heard from him.

Surrounded as I am by liberals, this doesn't surprise me at all - they all think this way, and will often say it in private conversation.
The only surprise is that Mr Holder was caught saying it on C-span.
Mr Obama was more careful.

Re: Eric Holder Wants To "Brainwash" You About Guns
The left thinks they can change the national consensus on gun ownership through a constant barrage of propaganda (?). Think about the irony for a moment. The right to possess lethal force is the ultimate concession by government to a free and sovereign people. Gun ownership requires a certain amount of virtue in the populace: moral discrimination, personal discipline, and proper restraint. But the left thinks we will surrender this right to a governing class characterized by mendacity, skulduggery, and personal ambition! Just another example of how the left despises common people and distrusts republican rule.

If people in 2008 had looked at what was known, even then, about Obama and his associates, the antics of the last three and one half years would have brought few surprises. 2012 will be interesting, if only for what it reveals about the American electorate.

This will make as big a splash as the decision not to prosecute Black Panther militia members for voter intimidation at Philadelphia polling places, which is to say it won't make any splash at all.
I hope that Darrell Issa is up to playing this at the investigation of OF&F.
