(Brian Terry's) Parents blame Eric Holder for son's death
Edited on Sun Nov-13-11 07:31 PM by alp227
The parents of slain Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry are denouncing Attorney General Eric Holder as a liar, blaming him for their son’s death, and calling for him to step down.

In separate interviews with Fox News, Terry’s parents on Thursday took turns lashing out at Holder.

“I think they are liars and I would tell them that,” said Kent Terry, the father.”What would I say to Eric Holder? They would not be nice words.”

“If they never let the guns walk, maybe Brian would not have been out that day,” said Josephine, Terry’s mother. “I just can’t believe our own government came up with a program like this that (let) innocent people get killed.”

2. I'm not Holder's biggest fan either
For the same reason as Mr Terry.

Plus a shitload of other reasons as well.

4. LEO's are notoriously right wing.
LEO's had no problem with Bush doing the same thing, plus lying this nation into an illegal war in Iraq.

6. Well. Maybe he might could be taken seriously but
He chose to go on Fox and destroyed his credibility by being a tool for the RW nuts for a price.

8. That is an appropriate target of blame for the gunrunning scandal (not the only one but...)
sorry. it sounds like he knew about it, he didn't stop it immediately and bad things happened.

Holder's got some good qualities, but if someone doesn't like him because of this scandal, that's completely understandable.

:shrug:

(and people are unrecommending this post as if the OP were a lie)
