After following the Oversight Committee hearings, I wish more of our Congressional representatives had the integrity, the patience, the intelligence and the patriotism of Congressman Issa. It is truly shameful to have someone like Holder at the head of the Justice Department with Obama backing him so he feels he can behave as he has. The saddest part of the Democratic strategy (if so blatant a performance can be called that) is their continual determination to present the actions of the Committee as simply a political attack--the deaths in Benghazi, and the cover up, are giving aid and comfort to the enemy, and showing the Muslim murderers our weakness. American have died and are dying for this country. President George Bush said "America's best days lie ahead" but not with that crew in power!

The Democratic "strategy" (if so blatant a process can be called that) has been to deny, deny and obfuscate. The great tragedy of the deaths in Benghazi is this: to pretend that normalization and replacing American soldiers with soldiers of the nations in which we have been fighting has been working. Major Hassan gives the lie to "workplace violence"-- Benghazi gives the lie to "normalization"--both pivotal points in Obama's reelection. The saddest part of watching the members of the Democratic committee fighting this is that they are united in their response that it is purely political and that they are all black. Americans died for this country, both abroad and at Ft. Hood. This is despicable.

At Columbia,when I was there, President Greyson Kirk invited the protesters in to his office--where they destroyed the doctoral theses of several students. (1970)--What about their rights after the years of work and effort? Incidentally, most students went to classes--while only a small group were agitating around the statue of Alma Mater--but theT.V. cameras made it look as if the campus was on fire.

This is a brave woman, and those of us who are keeping off Townhall need to recognize how long-standing the harassment has heen going on. Sedition under the Espionage Act was brought against 3 people who protested against FDR's appointment of Felix Frankfurter to the Supreme Court in 1944 The case against them ended in a mistrial due to the death of the presiding judge. The creator of the recent video is in prison in this country. The physician who found bin Laden is in prison in Pakistan (if alive).

"I am His Majesty's dog at Kew Pray, sir, whose dog are you?"

Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

The worst part of today's Oversight Hearing is that Holder shows contempt in every answer he gives to Chairman Issa. In addition, the behavior of the members of the committee who are blatantly protecting him (Cummings, Norton, and --unfortunately--the rest of the black members en masse) underscores the arrogance of the Obama administration and its supporters.

The next democrat to follow the party line is blaming the Republicans for failing to provide sufficient security in the budget. (Rep. Horsford ) They have been consistent. Sickening, but consistent.

While Rep. Duckworth is now claiming that the members of the committee were unable to prepare adequately! it is an appalling display of callous determination to derail the truth from either getting out or being believed!

Rep. Pocan=can is now discounting the vital testimony of these three brave men by saying "I don't think we have a smoking gun, not even a warm slingshot." The Democrats on this committee are despicable. He should have said "I don't think"
