Eric Holder doesn’t have a good answer for his involvement in the Fast and Furious scandal, but he has come up with an explanation for why he is the target of so much criticism. It’s because he’s black, which he says is also why Barack Obama gets criticized, too.
Holder says he’s a convenient two-fer for Obama critics. People identify him with the President because “you know, the fact that we’re both African American.” He also says those people who take exception with him or with Obama are part of the “more extreme segment” of America.
So, this administration doesn’t make mistakes, and can’t possibly be wrong. And, if you happen to disagree with them, you are either an extremist, a racist, or more likely, both.
