14. Not tossing Holder here..

Fri Jun 22, 2012, 08:10 AM

...I know what's behind this crap. Mostly, DISTRACTING the nation's attention from the illegal voter purges and other violations of the Voting Rights Act and the Voter Registration Act, and PREVENTING Holder from being able to prosecute GOP operatives for those violations. GOP is breaking civil rights laws all across this country!

And, GOP is being manipulated by the NRA and some whack-ass delusional conspiracy theorist whose talking points they've all been repeating ad nauseum since 2010.

It's bullshit!

Nothing against Holder from me. Holder isn't the problem. The GOP is the problem - with their penchant for flouting civil rights laws and subscribing to whacko conspiracy theories.
