Blood Money: Obama Contributor Ran Fast and Furious
Tue, Jul 03 2012 00:00:00 E

Scandal: A campaign contributor who was an architect of the 1994 assault weapons ban was the mastermind behind the Fast and Furious operation that let guns walk into Mexico, including those that killed two U.S. agents.

Shortly after the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry on Dec. 15, 2010, Attorney General Eric Holder's deputy chief of staff, Monty Wilkinson, received an email from U.S. Attorney for Arizona Dennis Burke telling him just that:

"The guns found in the desert near the murder(ed) BP officer connect back to the investigation we were going to talk about — they were AK-47s purchased at a Phoenix gun store."

It is an email that helps demonstrate that Holder, despite his congressional testimony — as vague, contradictory and misleading as it was — could not have been ignorant about Fast and Furious and its deadly consequences.

It also brings to light the name of Dennis Burke, a seldom-mentioned Obama campaign donor who oversaw Fast and Furious and helped convert it from a gun-interdiction to a gun-walking program.

Burke, who resigned shortly after the scandal became public, has long been a gun-ban architect for the Democratic Party.

If this had happened on Dubyah's watch, the same democrats who are now defending Holder and Obama and attempting to dismiss this as a political witch hunt would have already burned everybody from the Attorney General to the guy who scrubbed the pot at the Phoenix ATF office at the stake; after having first crucified them, hung, drawn and quartered them.

And it IS a serious matter. The US Justice Department has attempted to fake an illegal act or acts (committing the same in the process) and then lie to the American public so as to manipulate public opinion and legislation. It is the kind of despicable manipulation you'd expect of the propoganda aparatuses of Hitler and Stalin.

It is enough to make an honest man puke.

1) Dennis Burke resigned after Fast and Furious went public
2) Holder refused to disclose documents to Congress
3) Obama asserted executive privilege
4) Obama sealed the record of Brian Terry's death


There's nothing to see here!

Clearly 5 out of 5 on the gunderwood scale

Bush did it.
