Fast and Furious Investigation Rooted in Racism?

Just when you thought liberals couldn’t get any stranger in their mindless defense of President Obama and his policies, we learn they have no intention of disappointing us. For about 18 months, Congressional Republicans have tried to find out the details of Fast and Furious. Some of this, we already know, but there is a real need to know more. Details such as who knew about Fast and Furious and who authorized it. Details about the President’s involvement and knowledge of the failed gunrunning operation ran by the ATF. Unbeknownst to the rest of us, the Republicans have had an underlying reason for this investigation. According to Nancy Pelosi, it is racism. From Politico:

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Republicans are investigating Eric Holder because they want to distract him from stopping voter suppression laws.

The argument from the California Democrat is quite unique, as the party’s argument has long been that the attorney general has provided enough documentation in the gun-walking investigation, and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is on a witch hunt.

Pelosi took it in a new direction during a 30-minute press conference, when she also lambasted Republicans as intransigent and unfit to govern.

“Contempt of Congress, contempt of Congress,” Pelosi said. “To frivolously use that really important vehicle to undermine the person who is assigned to stop the voter suppression in our country. I’m telling you, this is connected. It is no accident. It is a decision and it is as clear as can be. It’s not only to monopolize his time, it’s to undermine his name. To undermine his name, undermine his name, as he goes forward to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

You’ll have to excuse me for a moment while I suppress the urge to gag. Not only is this offensive, it’s the most ridiculous charge I have heard come out of Pelosi’s mouth in a very long time. I am Fast and Furiousconvinced the liberals will do anything they can to deflect the investigation into Fast and Furious. The truth is something they have no desire to see come to the surface.

To be fair to Nancy Pelosi, she isn’t the first one to suggest racism is at the root of the Fast and Furious investigation. Eric Holder brought it up last December, during one of his testimonies before Congress. His exact words were as follows.

This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him…both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that we’re both African-American.

Maybe Pelosi is just following orders by continuing these ridiculous charges, but she isn’t the only one. I refuse to watch anything offered by MSNBC, but Chris Matthews is evidently convinced racism has something to do with why Darrell Issa refuses to back down from Eric Holder and President Obama. He is suggesting it is “ethnically” related, calling it a “stop and frisk” moment. You can read a full transcript at The Daily Caller.

From the moment Barack Obama announced he was running for President, I was opposed to him. I was repeatedly accused of racism, even though I went out of my way to never mention his race. Trust me when I say, it had nothing to do with the color of his skin, and everything to do with his liberal policies. That holds true today. I don’t care if Barack Obama and Eric Holder are Jewish, Black, Native American, or just plain American, their policies are hurting our country. Red, yellow, black, or white, they should be held accountable, and calling them out on Fast and Furious does not constitute racism.
