Mr. Holder, It's Time for You to Go

Mr. Holder, It's Time for You to Go

Rush Limbaugh gets to the crux of why Holder didn't bother to read the Arizona Immigration Bill and WHY HE CAN'T SAY RADICAL ISLAM-

Eric Holder testified. Ted Poe, Republican from Texas: "Have you read the Arizona immigration law?"

HOLDER: I have not had a chance to. I've glanced at it. I've not read it.

POE: It's ten pages. It's a lot shorter than the health care bill, which was 2,000 pages long. I'll give you my copy of it, if you would like to have a copy. Even though you haven't read the law, do you have an opinion as to whether it's constitutional?

HOLDER: I have not really... I have not been briefed yet. We, as I said, have had underway a review of the law. I've not been briefed by the people who have been -- who are responsible for that review.

POE: Are you going to read the law?

HOLDER: I'm sure I will read the law in anticipation of that briefing. I know that they will put that in front of me, and I'll spend a good evening reading that law.

But EVEN WORSE:

But we have a pure socialist radical ideologue in charge of the Department of Justice. Yesterday afternoon in Washington on Capitol Hill, House Judiciary Committee, Eric Holder. Representative Lamar Smith of Texas: "Do you feel that these individuals might have been incited to take the actions they did because of radical Islam?" meaning the Times Square bomber and a number of other would-be terrorists. "Do you think they took the actions they did because of radical Islam?"

HOLDER: There are a variety of reasons why I think people have taken these actions. One I think you have to look at each individual case. I mean, we're in the process now of talking to Mr. Shahzad to try to understand what it is that drove him to take the action he took.

SMITH: Okay. But radical Islam could have been one of the reasons?

HOLDER: There are a variety of reasons why people --

SMITH: But was radical Islam one of them?

HOLDER: There are a variety of reasons why people do these things. Some of them are potentially religious cases, so --

SMITH: But all I'm asking is if you think, among those variety of reasons, radical Islam might have been one of the reasons that the individuals took the steps that they did?

HOLDER: You see, you say "radical Islam."

SMITH: Yes.

HOLDER: I mean, I think those people who espouse a version of Islam that is not --

SMITH: Are you uncomfortable attributing any of their actions to radical Islam? It sounds like it.

HOLDER: No. I don't want to say anything negative about a religion.

RUSH: And there you have it. "You'll end up in a situation..." Not you "might" end up in a situation. "You will end up in a situation where there's racial profiling," and now we can't say "radical Islam." Potentially religious? I mean, it's infuriating and it's hilarious at the same time. (doing Holder impression) "Radical Islam?

Yes, there might be potentially religious reasons." Potentially? Potentially religious reasons? Why can't they say it? Why can't he say it, do you think? What is his problem? What is his reluctance to say, "Yeah, this are some radical Islamists out there"? They say it about themselves. Why can't he? What's he afraid of? Who is ordering him? Now, to be fair to Attorney General Holder, ladies and gentlemen, it's probably hard to consider somebody an enemy when they share so many of your values.

Well, the radical Islamists do not like Western democracy. Neither does Holder. Radical Islamists are not crazy about Western civilization in general. Neither is Holder. Neither is Obama. (interruption) Oh, yeah, I mean to say it. I've been saying this for over a year since Obama took office. Isn't it clear to everybody Obama doesn't like certain aspects of his country and culture? Isn't it patently obvious that he doesn't? He wants to return the nation's wealth to its rightful owners. So maybe the problem is that. We gotta be fair here to Attorney General Holder. Maybe it's tough to look at these guys as a huge enemy when you share some similar political views…

Why can't they say RADICAL ISLAM?

…I can give you the answer, folks, since we're not going to get any phone calls on this. Why is Holder reluctant? It's as clear as the hand in front of me face, why Holder is reluctant to say, "Yeah, radical Islamists behind this. Sure." His law firm -- don't forget this. His law firm, ladies and gentlemen, represented a bunch of terrorists at Guantanamo, as have some of his appointees at Justice! His law firm represents these people. So he can't say, "Yeah, it's radical Islam," 'cause then he's condemning his own clients or his former firms' own clients. That's why he can't say it. Stop and think of that. Radical Islam, there's no question it's our enemy. They say so! (laughs) We don't listen to them but they say so. Eric Holder, the attorney general, his former law firm represented a bunch of them at Guantanamo. Some people in that law firm actually showed pictures of things to their clients, the terrorists, that they were not allowed to see or shouldn't have seen. And he's appointed a bunch of lawyers as his assistants in the Department of Justice who have also represented (he won't tell us the names) radical Islamist terror suspects. So of course he can't say, "Yeah, radical Islam," 'cause he's condemning his own firm and he's condemning his own firm's clients. Our attorney general. That's his problem.

RUSH: Eric Holder cannot say "radical Islam" might be one of the motivations behind people blowing up or wanting to blow up America. It's the same Eric Holder, ladies and gentlemen, who can't even bring himself to say the world "Muslim" or "terrorist." He can't bring himself to say either of those two words. This is the guy in charge of setting up the CIA's new interrogation unit. Maybe that's why it hasn't been set up yet because he doesn't want those terms used.
