    Fascinating- liberals can't defend the president, so they resort to pointless asides and personal attacks.

    bingo

    They try this tactic, then hope the pilers-on (dog pile liberals like McMark and QdoublA) will provide them credibility. It's a very ineffective approach because it highlights their "exposed rear flank" in their logic.

    they're nervous about Univison's reach and impact on the hispanic vote. 60% of UIM's audience is north american latinos.

    Fascinating - basso and bigtexxx agree that the Fast and Furious program should have multiple threads all over the D&D, and tallanvor thinks I'm trying to suppress free speech.

    Very telling. You teabagged folks have clearly lost this round.

    President Obama hasn't been implicated in anything. Holder was cleared, so why should we feel it necessary to defend the President?

    Attacking you? That's just a fun, Sunday afternoon diversion.

    Does it make you feel better about the impending defeat of the GOP to have a mini circle jerk with bigtex in every thread lol. Start more threads basso. I hear Dr. esteban is getting off work early so he may be able to join you guys!

    You're really good at the google; I'm sure you can find the information.

    In all fairness, the investigation was dropped when the White House refused to turn over the documents under a claim of executive privilege.

    I find it odd that so many apparently believe that putting those guns in the hands of the cartels is acceptable. I don't care who the President is...Democrat, Republican or other...it is not acceptable.

    if a GOP president had willingly allowed thousands of weapons to be sold to Mexican drug cartels, leading to the murder of hundreds of Mexican citizens, it would be on the news every night, and hispanics would be rallying in the street calling for impeachment

    Funny you mention a GOP president

    The first known ATF "gunwalking" operation to Mexican drug cartels, named Operation Wide Receiver, began in early 2006 and ran into late 2007. Licensed dealer Mike Detty of Mad Dawg Global informed the ATF of a suspicious gun purchase that took place in February 2006 in Tucson, Arizona. In March he was hired as a confidential informant working with the ATF's Tucson office, part of their Phoenix, Arizona field division.[28] With the use of surveillance equipment, ATF agents monitored additional sales by Detty to straw purchasers. With assurance from ATF "that Mexican officials would be conducting surveillance or interdictions when guns got to the other side of the border",[12] Detty would sell a total of about 450 guns during the operation.[27] These included AR-15s, semi-automatic AK-pattern rifles, and Colt .38s. The majority of the guns were eventually lost as they moved into Mexico.[7][28][29][30]

    At the time, under the Bush administration Department of Justice (DOJ), no arrests or indictments were made.

    The GOP has lobbied for gun law loopholes that made things like fast and furious necessary in the first place.

    If enabling huge supplies of firearms to get to criminals because of avarice is now a national scandal- I fully welcome this refreshing new way of thinking.

    This represents a true sea change in the way GOPsters are willing apportion liability. Obviously we'd have to reopen a lot of the civil cases of municipalities against gun manufacturers and distributors for deliberately flooding crime ridden areas

    I agree ... I don't care which party is in power, so much for transparency. This is nothing new, the Bush administration did the same thing. Having said that, Holder (a terrible AG) and Obama should have to answer.

    However for Basso to think Hispanics will suddenly support Romney is foolish.
