Watch: Al Sharpton Lambasts GOP Congressman Over Fast and Furious Probe

Al Sharpton tore into Rep. John Mica yesterday about the vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for not releasing all Fast and Furious documents as quickly as they would’ve liked.

Rev. Sharpton shouted over Rep. Mica, even going so far as to ask him questions while refusing to allow him the time to answer.

Rep. Mica told Sharpton he did not think the Obama administration were “actually hoping for violence,” as he had asked, but that they launched the program looking “to blame the violence and drug trafficking… on guns from the United States.”

    He got what he deserved. He should have known that when you go up against Rev Al , you’ve got to bring it! Instead, he thought he could offer the standard, mealymouthed, dishonest arguments that they all do and that would suffice .

    Not with Al, buddy. It’s a new day. We don’t have to take YOUR struff anymore!

    Now take your cracker azz back to Flori-DUH!

    It started when the President was sworn into office. There pledge, to discredit him at all cost. To some so called WHITE powerful MEN, there whole world, the one that is corrupt, is dismantling around them and they cannot deal with it!

    They don’t realize it but they look like children next to the President. They are blinded by their rage!

    Eric Holder is the Chief Lawyer or Prosecutor who answers only to the President, since the president appointed him to that position;howeever, the Dixiepublicans, think he should answer to them only. Everything a Black Official does they want to scrunitinize it, but someone else they will give a pass.

      Barry: Would you like to run that theory by Anthony Wiener, Newt Gingrich, Trent Lott, John Kerry, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and a slew of other non-blacks?

    Holder has turned over thousands of documents (750 pieces thus far) to the political witch hunting chair of the House Oversight Committee Darrell Issa. With the 2012 presidential election heating up and with the GOP’s manic vow to make Obama a one term president, the GOP will continue with this frivolousness and go after Holder and others for some sort of political gain. It’s simply partisan politics that they are engaging in at the moment and it will go no where, good job Rev. Al in exposing the idiot Congressman.

    PEOPLE! DO NOT answer Playrighter. He is not Black, and he is NOT interested in being a part of ANY discussions. He is a plant and a spy who diverts conversations and creates emotionalism and anger.

    He says things on purpose to steer the conversation when he and his fellow infiltrators see that Black people’s conversation is intelligent and non-emotional.
    He is on these sites all the time doing the SAME THING over and over again.

    Often times there are more than one like him making comments to “agree” with each other, like A MAN AND A DOG HERDING CATTLE. Stop falling for their bull-c**p!!

    He speaks with this PHONY “calm” and “intelligence.”

    PLEASE stop answering his pseudo-intellectual questions and comments!

    I watched the original exchange on Rev. Sharpton’s MSNBC show, PoliticsNation. Rev. Al gave it to Congressman Mica good! At first, the congressman didn’t “have all the details,” which he repeated. Later, he had more to say. Rev. Sharpton said, “Oh, you didn’t know much about it, but you know more as we talk! I loved it. Congressman Mica tried to overtalk the good reverend, without any luck, because Rev. Sharpton didn’t back down. He was careful to say “sir” and “all due respec” to Congressman Mica while letting him have it between the eyes. Delicious!

    This is politics, but for a different reason than what’s bieng discussed here. This was another “Iran Contra affair” the government was funnelling guns to the “preferred cartel (Sinaloa) to weaken (not eliminate) the “Los Zetas” Cartel. The operation involved the ATF,CIA,DEA and FBI. Vicente Niebla Zambada (Sinaloa cartel member )testified in federal court that the goverment allowed his cartel to bring in tons of Cociane in exchange for “information” on the Zetas. Eric Holder is falling on the sword so that “continuity of agenida” between administrations will not be exposed. When they busted members of the Sinaloa cartel they were in possession of.these guns. Thats not all, they were FBI AGENTS. These guns have been found at over 150 crimes scenes, and there were 3 border patrol agents killed, not to mention the American cops. Alberto Gonzalez should be in trouble to becuase the Bush administration was involved as well. The Obama administration changed the name in 09′ and started thier own. The banks are controlling the drug biz. Remember Wells Fargo got caught laundering 374 billion dollars worth or drug money in 2 Yrs! For non other than Mexican drug cartels. Who went to jail for that? Let me help you, NOBODY. You have b****y drug war going on in Mexico, over 40,000 people have died in the last 6yrs. Part of the blood is on America’s hands. They had Issa come out and attack Holder becuase the establishment knew they could get us infighting over “he’s just doing this because he’s black” and Issa didn’t press Bush over the torture memos after he claimed “executive privilege”. We have to stop letting the establishment play mind games with us or this will never stop.

    @sandyman, you are so correct I have said all long that
    “others” are on this predominantly black site, to 1. keep a
    eye on the mind set of African Americans. 2. Too disrupt any
    unity of thought or alike ideas. 3. To interject verbal confrontation
    that interupts healthy and collective thought. All thinking black
    people know how this game is played. They have played it
    the same way for a long time. And they will keep playing it
    until we…. end that game.
