Tamara Holder Smacks Down Michelle Malkin’s Fast And Furious Hatriotism

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on June 21, 2012 · Flag

Tamara Holder was a textbook case for how liberals should behave on Fox, especially on Hannity. During a debate about Fast and Furious and the House Republicans who voted earlier to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, she demanded equal time, refused to be over-talked or insulted and, best of all, refused to allow her opponent to play the patriotism card against her. The fact that Holder’s opponent was Michelle Malkin made it all that much sweeter.

Poor Michelle Malkin. First, she was called on her incivility by Sally Kohn early this month. Then her widdle feewings were hurt last week when Juan Williams said, “I’m a real reporter, I’m not a blogger.” Now came Holder on last night’s Hannity.

Holder’s essential point was that the House Committee Republicans who had voted to cite Holder had acted precipitously, instead of letting the investigation play out, whereas Malkin alleged that Holder was obstructing justice.

When Sean Hannity began interrupting Holder’s first statement, she said, “Give me the same amount of time that you give all of your Republican friends.”

And Hannity backed off. Twice.

In her most sanctimonious, condescending tone, Malkin addressed what she called the “tiresome blame-Bush card because I don’t think that Tamara knows what she’s talking about when we talk about the differences between Fast and Furious and Operation Wide Receiver and Project Gunrunner.”

Holder smartly interrupted to take exception to the accusation that she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Hannity had to step in and let Malkin finish her point.

Which – Surprise! Surprise! – was full of more sneers and jeers. “For some of us, the core issues of national security, Second Amendment rights, integrity in government actually matters. It is not just some sort of TV game debate for us.” She concluded with, “The blood is on your people’s hands, Tamara.”

Holder snapped back, “No, actually, we’re all Americans and it’s on all of our hands.” As Holder continued to try to talk, Malkin interrupted again. So Holder said, “Can I finish?”

Malkin erupted in wide-eyed fury, saying, “I’m not gonna let you get away with that lie!” But Holder placed her elbows on the table, paused dramatically – and Malkin shut up.

Beautifully done.

Folks, I don’t agree with heirspin but he or she is being respectful and deserves the same in return.

Pats heirsinhope on the head

It’s ok, dear… you’ll realize why no one can understand your posts after you take your medication.

Oops wrong thread. Sorry

We live in a world economy. The effects of one country does affect every other country. Just a matter of time and degree. By the time the world’s leaders realize that the economic problem requires a global solution, it will in all likelihood be too late.

Hey Michael Schmitt: Before you let your fingers outrun your brain again, why don’t you google “Project Gunrunner?” Then give a few minutes to google and “Operation Wide Receiver.” And while you’re at it, google the actual term “Gun Walking.”

It’s a TACTIC used to pinpoint the recipients of illegal arms sales by tracing the circulation of guns using trackers. It’s supposedly been in use for a very long time, we only know about since 2006. When it works, you bet your ass it gets results. When it doesn’t, or gets botched… they get the guns, people end up dead and your best bet to minimize retribution against agents is to keep it classified.

The only difference between this and botched operations under “Operation Wide Receiver” is that the right is demanding that Holder put the agents involved in danger by declassifying them.

But it’s nice to see that you endorse both cop killing and actions that could lead to a mandatory censorship of the 2nd amendment, just because Fox News told youto. You true American, you.

This is what we are talking about. Take a lesson from Tamara Holder. She destroyed this self-hating pitbull with one swipe.

Malkin is a coward. If you see the little woman in person, question her views. You will be lucky to get an answer. She has a nasty habit of running off than responding to questions.

NOTE TO HANNITY

Given your history and what you have done, you are the last person to call someone else less than truthful.

NOTE TO MALKIN

Coward!

Brian Shanahan wrote “your “team” won, the other team should sit back and watch US get FORCED, unconstitutionally, into becoming France…?”

To which I write, “Bwahahahahaha.”

Brian, that was the most incredibly inane (but not quite insane) thing I think I’ve ever read.

Oops, but wait, there’s even more:

“Hey, WE ARE THE TEAM, Dems, Reps and all… no matter WHO is in office, we should hold them all under a microscope and keep them within constitutional limits…”

Written like a true FoxNoise follower who, quite likely, doesn’t remember when HIS side was routinely ignoring those “constitutional limits” on a daily basis with FoxNoise’s blind obeisance. (It’s still not quite as inane a comment as the first bit I quoted.)

You know, though, if the FoxNoise followers were REALLY as adamant to “hold them all under a microscope” as you insist “we” all should, then perhaps you’d be willing to ask why the Reps (aka GOPers) didn’t do their job when THEY were in control of Congress under Dubya. Perhaps you’d be willing to explain why the current crop of GOPers haven’t been asked to explain why they had to LIE in 2010 to get elected. (Remember 2010? “Jobs, jobs, jobs. That’s the first and only priority when I’m elected.” Then comes Jan 3, 2011, and suddenly, “jobs” falls to the bottom of the list of ANY GOPer’s priorities.) Again, it’d be easier to buy your swill about “WE ARE THE TEAM” if PART of that “team” were willing to understand what being a “team” entails. When a PROMINENT member of one party states that HIS goal, and that of his party, is to ensure that Obama is a one-term President and that ANYTHING is acceptable to ensure that (even if it means voting against raising the debt ceiling this time, even though you voted FOR it, every time under his predecessor), then that’s a sure sign that there’s NO “team” involved.

Looks like Tamara’s smack-down still has Malkin stinging this morning. In her sneering appearance on F&F, Malkin made sure to slip in a comment saying that “all the opponents that I’ve been put up against, to talk about this and to debate about this, have nothing else to do but blame Bush.” Clearly Tamara’s points and her tough push-back got under Malkin’s skin so much that Malkin had to take an unchallenged shot back at her today (while she had the bully pulpit so kindly offered up by the F&F stooges).

any alleged news outlet that lets malkin speak as some kind of authority on anything other than being an anchor baby is not a real news outlet.

Only Fux Noise would tolerate Ms. Maglalang’s unbridled hatriotism and KKKlannity’s constant hectoring of Tamara Holder.

why even bother to go on FOX – Sean lets Michelle Muttkin talk all day and when Holder talks Sean contiuniously interupts.

Michelle Malkin zings her salient arguments on target like an expert archer. Her dark silken tresses are a black cascade of midnight. She is smart, slender, & stylish. She will never be overweight or ungainly.

Aria, Thank you for the explanation…….and the smack-down. I am also sick to death of this witch hunt. Hell, I’m sick to death of the “conservative” GOP’s unrelenting, baseless attacks on the administration period. They are a complete embarassment to our country and everything we used to stand for. Whenever I think of the millions of dollars the smaller government, budget conscious, do nothings are wasting it makes me want to either cry or vomit.

I’ve been trying really hard to ignore this farce with Fast & Furious, I’m I’m officially sick of it. So… let’s pretend Fox News has interns spy on us and explain Gun Walking to them:

Gun Walking is when guns are deliberately sold installed with a with trackers to a person who’s known to provide them to drug dealers, gangs or incorporate them into arms smuggling rings. If successful, most to all of the recepients are identified, and the ones that can be successfully convicted go away for a long time.

When Walking goes wrong, however… guns are lost, and a lot of people die. The best you can hope for is that the agents involved in the running aren’t identified… Oh, wait- by forcing Holder to turn over the papers, the right wants him to DECLASSIFY WHO WAS INVOLVED WITH THE OPERATION!

Is Fox News so desperate to try “putting Obama in place” with this stunt that they’re really going to out and endanger federal agents? Why yes, yes they are… and Fox News endorses that. Because that’s how much they really hate America -enough to put it’s domestic protectors in serious danger, for the sole purpose of trying to compromise the President.

Suck it, apologists.
