Holder callED for brainwashing to help the antigun message soak

Last edited Tue Mar 20, 2012, 01:46 PM - Edit history (1)

The call for brainwashing occurs 3 minutes into this video captured in 1995.

Note how Eric Holder does not make any distinction between legal and illegal firerams use and possesion - as if we the people are all criminals.

They do not like the 2nd amendment. They do not think people should be able to own guns. Deal with it. If they could they would simply confiscate all firearms owned by private citizens. Not very complicated.

The video you are freaking out about is from 1995. Is that all you've got?

What he said on CSPAN may have been captured in 1995, but his attitude has not changed based on Fast and Furrious - there he leaned his lesson - deny everything.

If, say, Santorum said something offensive in 1995, few on DU would say "hey, that was 1995... got anything relevant?"



We now have a place in time to pinpoint a political viewpoint he had, which means we can better chart his historical viewpoint on the matter.

Specifically, has he said anything more recently to show his beliefs are on a new course?
