Remember Pelosi's claim that Fast and Furious investigation is all about Republicans "going after Eric Holder because he is supporting measures to overturn voter suppression initiatives in the states"
"Don't forget they are going after Eric Holder because he is supporting measures to overturn voter suppression initiatives in the states. This is no accident, it no coincidence, it is a plan on the part of Republicans."
Mark Levin responds to Pelosi's statement.
Mark Levin mentions over 200 Mexicans killed with guns given out by operation Fast and Furious. It turns out that number might be low.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation": "We've had over 300 Mexican nationals killed directly attributable to this Fast and Furious operation, where they brought those guns into Mexico. A former Marine and a Border Patrol agent by the name of Brian Terry lost his life. With Watergate you had a second-rate burglary."

Markie Marxist sez: "F&F was supposed to accomplish much more, but unfortunately we only got sixteen hundred guns down there, so the cartels didn't topple the Mexican government, so a united, revolutionary Mexico couldn't sweep north into the US in a grand Reconquista. Wouldn't those conservative Republicans in Texas, including Bush himself, have been surprised to wake up one day and find themselves to be freshly minted Mexican citizens? Oh well, it could have happened. Ha! Ha! Talk about bringing down capitalist America! We just didn't do enough. Maybe we can do more in Comrade President Obama's second term."
If, in fact, this is all about attacking AG Holder, why doesn't Michigan factor into the anti-voter suppression efforts of the DOJ?
Michigan requires an State ID or Drivers License to be shown before one can vote. Michigan also requires that one must be a citizen of the U.S. as well. If you obtain or apply for public assistance in Michigan, the DHS (Dept of Human Services) will send you an application to register to vote. Kinda nice of 'em, isn't it?
I suppose that perhaps Michigan does not have a large illegal immigrant population such as Florida does, so maybe that's why AG Holder lets MI slip past him? I searched for any type of DOJ involvement with MI, yet I cannot seem to find anything but whiny leftwingers blogging and posting about Michigan laws pertaining to voting.
Nacy Pelosi clearly stated that AG Holder is being attacked because of the above.
It's nice to know Ms. Pelosi puts illegal voters above the lives of our Law Enforcement Officers who bust their butts trying to protect us from Mexican Cartel violence on our Southern Border. Could it be that Nancy needs more illegals in the country in order to keep the Dems in office, and AG Holder is the guy who is spearheading the effort?
AG Holder is supposed to enforce the law, and he's the man in charge of the ATF that forced dealers to engage in unlawfull transactions that the ATF is supposed to prevent? Brian Terry gets killed as a result of this, and it does not matter? Congress should not go after AG Holder because he's black, a Democrat, a pal of Obama's, and God forbid, politics? How dare those damn Republicans attack Holder! AG Holder stated that he knew nothing about F&F, Obama said he knew nothing about F&F, so why should he turn over documents to a Congressional Oversight committee?
Obama has every right to invoke Executive Privlege from being compelled to disclose information to the public about matters of foreign policy or of national security.
I get it now! It's a protected right of the government to smuggle illegal weapons to drug smugglers in a foreign country! Especially when you claim to be clueless about it even occurring!
Iran–Contra affair anyone? President Reagan was subpoenaed to testify, and he did not try to hide from it, so why does Obama and Holder do it?
