Texas Governor Rick Perry is calling Barack Obama ′Nixonian′ and saying that Operation Fast and Furious is worse than Watergate. Perry said as much Sunday during an appearance on the CBS News show, ′Face The Nation′, hosted by Bob Schieffer. Perry is critical of Attorney General Eric Holder for withholding Justice Department documents on the gun running program by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms which led to the death of Border Patrol Officer Brian Terry. Perry says that the Obama White House and their allies in the Media have been deliberately trying to keep the story out of the public′s eye. Obama proclaiming executive privilege to block the further release of documents, which has led to the House Judiciary Oversight Committee to find Eric Holder in contempt of Congress is just the latest outrage and abuse of power.

The big meeting late yesterday between Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Attorney General Eric Holder failed to bring any resolution to the issue of transparency over Fast and Furious, the Department of Justice gun tracking program. This now sets the stage for a vote today in the House of Representatives to find the head of the Justice Department in contempt of Congress. Issa has requested thousands of documents concerning the gun-walking program run by the Phoenix office of the ATF, which resulted in at least two weapons being used in the murder of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. At the heart of the matter are some 1,300 documents related to a letter from February 4, 2011 which claims that the Justice Department had no knowledge of the ATF operation which allowed U.S. firearms to be sold to Mexican drug cartels.

Fully 91 members of Congress have signed onto a resolution of no confidence in U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, the man that bears the most responsibility for Operation Fast and Furious — an Obama administration policy that allowed thousands of American guns to get into the hands of Mexican narco-terrorists, guns that were later used to kill hundreds of Mexican citizens and several American law enforcement officials.

As Matthew Boyle reports, “it’s not directly a call for Holder to step down, the resolution alleges that the nation’s top law enforcement official’s actions have proven he is not ‘competent, trustworthy and beyond reproach,’ and that he has sought to ‘cover up’ mistakes rather than cooperate with Congress ‘in disclosing the events and circumstances and transparently addressing the issues.’”

Obama’s policy of forcing US gun shops in the southwest to sell American guns to Mexican narco-terrorists has already killed one for sure and maybe two U.S. law enforcement agents. Obama’s Operation Fast And Furious is also responsible for selling the guns that were used to kill well over 200 Mexican citizens. And as far as U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is concerned, even talking about the disastrous policy is merely engaging in “gotcha” politics and — naturally — raaaaaacim. I guess the murder of US law enforcement agents don’t mean much to Eric Holder, our nation’s chief law enforcement officer?

In his appearance in Austin, Texas early last week, Holder whined that attacks on his incompetence is just politics meant to get at himself and Obama because they are black, an idiotic claim on its face. No one has argued that “the black Holder” should resign but all who’ve called for his resignation have substantive reasons. From his refusal to prosecute vote fraud, to his attempts to eliminate vote reform, and including his complicity in Fast and Furious, Holder’s critics have complained about his far left, progressive, race-driven policies not his being black.

A couple of new things have occurred concerning the deepening scandal over Operation Fast And Furious, the Obama policy of arming Mexican narco-terrorists that has killed so many. The biggest is, of course, that an official resolution of no confidence has been introduced in the House of Representatives that has more support than any recent no confidence resolution filed against a U.S. Attorney General in a long time.

The resolution (H.R. 490) was filed by Rep. Paul Gosar (R, AZ) who says that Congress needs to “raise awareness” of the failed gunrunning program. Gosar hopes that the resolution will spur needed discussion about the program. He also feels Congress has an important role in determining if an administration is on the right track.

Early in my coverage of the mounting scandal over Obama’s policy of arming Mexican narco-terrorists, I said that this was obviously a thinly veiled attempt to create a false narrative geared toward pushing more gun control policies on Americans in order to eliminate our Second Amendment rights. Looks like I was right if a new report by CBS News is any indication.

Sharyl Attkisson reports that newly uncovered documents from the Department of Justice indicates that Obama officials contemplated just that, an plan to use the fake crisis manufactured by them to claim that guns are too easy to get and therefore must be further regulated.

As bad as Fast And Furious seems to be, and it is bad, there is worse news on the American-guns-to-Mexican-drug-dealers front. CBS News is reporting that thousands more guns than the nearly 2,000 “lost” by the BATF with Operation Fast and Furious has been lost through legal gun sales to the Mexican government.

Sheryl Attkisson recently discovered that guns sold by American manufacturers that have been selling guns legally to the Mexican government through official State Department channels are ending up in the hands of the drug cartels at an unfortunately large rate.

Employees for Yahoo News were given a call-in number and pass key to a secret planning session conference call held by members of the Republican Party establishment on Tuesday. On the call some highly placed GOP operatives said that they should avoid “heavy attacks” on Obama during this upcoming 2012 campaign.

Apparently the Yahoo folks were given this inside info on accident by an RNC staffer. As Rachel Rose Hartman reported, a member of the well-connected Tarrance Group, a Republican polling firm, said that they aren’t interested in personal attacks on Obama.
