Witch hunt: Alan Grayson says attacks on Holder are GOP posturing




Former Fl. Dem Congressman and current Congressional candidate Alan Grayson joins John Fugelsang in the War Room to talk about the Republican approach to Fast and Furious. Grayson says the GOP House is on a witch hunt, looking for anything that makes the Obama administration look bad -- and anything that deflects attention from real issues. Grayson asks, "why won't they launch an investigation of why 50 million Americans don't have health care?

in Congress or in a position where he can fire up the Elected Democrats and to tell it as it is. He had Republicans on the run, and that is the way I like seeing them...on the run!

We need him back in Congress where he can continue the fight! He has the courage of his convictions and the willingness to fight for us!

I truly hope he makes it back this year - tough and smart. Qualities Repugs cannot handle.

Good to see John Fugelstein, too. He's a very effective communicator.

"protecting" a source. I don't have a a dog in that fight. (To steal a phrase for a Republican.) Holder has been such a cowardice, ineffectual and negligent Attorney General. I don't really care what happens to him. He has ignored mass financial fraud to go after whistler blowers, acting in good conscious -- promoting further frauds and ruining the lives of descent people. If he had to step down it would only do the county good.

I put my modest money where my mouth is for Alan. I've been on a $10 a month plan with him for perhaps the last 6 months, and I'm fucking unemployed right now!

And I live in Connecticut.

Based on the recent Wisconsin results, we all have to be working a bit harder, my DU mates.

They got their fucking gigabucks AND GREED on their side, we have little more than our collective love for Democracy and the vision of what our country could be on our side.

Oh, one other thing, THERE'S 99% OF US AND 1% OF THEM!

If we can't take back our government with those numbers, we'll deserve our more work for less pay lives of economic servitude to our corporate overlords for the rest of our fucking lives.

And the satisfaction our inaction will inflict such a dismal Terry Gilliam's Brazil future on our children!

I desperately wanted to somehow get Current back when Keith was on, but my Charter Cable never got around to offering CHANNEL ONE MILLION!

It would still be nice to get it.

And I miss Keith and wish him well. And wish he was back!
