Eric Holder Should Be Fired

One of the things I don't understand about politics is how news agencies can be so openly biased that they destroy their own reputations by not being fair and balanced. If Eric Holder, US Attorney General, were a Republican the major news agencies would be calling for his resignation, and demanding that the the Republican President fire him. But as it is they are generally just sweeping this incident under the rug. Only Fox News is doing any amount of reporting.

What did Eric Holder do? Or should I say, what did he do this time? Well, the United States gave weapons to Drug Cartels and War Lords to our neighbors to the South. This was in hopes of tracking the weapons and rounding up drug dealers and warlords. The problem is two fold. First of all they shouldn't have allowed the weapons to leave the United States, and secondly, they forgot to track them. These weapons are now in the hands of the wrong people and they are being used to kill Americans. Over 200 Americans so far.

Why is Eric Holder Culpable? First of all, this happened under his watch. Secondly, he received two memos concerning this disaster and did nothing about it. Thirdly, he lied to Congress and the US citizens when asked about. Said, he had just learned about it now. And he continues to lie.

Evidently, the value of 200 American's lives is pretty low. Well, that is only if a Democrat makes the mistake that costs their lives. This can be pushed under the rug. But if a Republican made the mistake and only a single life was lost, the news agencies would want that Republican's head on a platter.

How does Mr. Holder sleep at night? Why doesn't this debacle seem to bother him? Why hasn't Mr. Obama fired him? I believe it boils down to this..... Democrats think they can do no wrong.
