Thread: What If? What If The Gun That Killed Trayvon Martin Had Come From Fast & Furious

What If?

What If The Gun That Killed Trayvon Martin Had Come From Fast & Furious

With the recent invoking of ‘Executive Privilege’ by Barack Obama in the Fast & Furious investigation three things immediately come to mind:

1. Barack Obama’s past statement that ‘the only people who don’t want to disclose the truth are those with something to hide;’
2. Barack Obama is an out right Liar when he said he would have the most ‘open and transparent administration’ in the history of America; and
3. What if the gun that killed Trayvon Martin had come from the Fast & Furious operation?

First with the recent comments from FOX News Bob Beckel (remember this is the same Bob Beckel who said on FOX News “Putin is a bi-sexual pervert, I know that for a fact”), co-host of The Five, concerning the motives of Rep. Issa regarding Fast & Furious, for the sake of argument lets say Beckel is right, and Issa’s original motives behind the House Committee’s hearings were political, once Eric Holder and the Department of Justice issued a written letter to Congress making one claim and then retracting that letter while acknowledging the statements in it were untruthful, Issa’s original motives don’t matter any more. The Justice Department knowingly issued a written statement to Congress which Justice then admitted was FALSE. So regardless of what Rep. Issa’s motives may or may not have been in the beginning, Eric Holder has made this issue a matter which must be investigated completely.
What If Barack Obama had a son that looked like Brian Terry?

With Obama invoking ‘Executive Privilege’ it is now fair to ask, ‘what are you trying to hide, Barack Obama?’ Again remember the very words of Barack Obama himself ‘the only people who don’t want to disclose the truth are those with something to hide.’
While the Obama favoring media has simply ignored the Fast & Furious issue for the most part, now that Obama has forced them to have to cover it and you would never know that Fast & Furious was responsible for the deaths of innocent Mexican citizens and at least two US Border Patrol agents by the coverage. Take this from the LA Times’ David Horsey.

Targeting Eric Holder, Darrell Issa buys into gun nut delusions

The brouhaha over Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. and the contempt of Congress charge brought by U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista) are providing new evidence that the lunatics are running the Republican asylum.
Issa, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, would have us believe President Obama’s assertion of executive privilege in the dispute — “an eleventh-hour stunt,” he called it on Fox News — is part of a White House cover up of something much more sinister.

It should be noted that Rep. Issa never made any comment of FOX News On The Record with Greta Van Susteren implying he believed Obama’s invoking executive privilege is any part of a White House cover up of something much more sinister. In fact the statement was in the form of a question asked by Greta which Rep. Issa simply said it would be up to the public opinion.
Then of course The Atlantic has to give its Obama spin, after all The Atlantic is home to Andrew Sullivan the openly gay British spokesman for all things Obama including the Newsweek article paired with the “First Gay President” cover.

Darrell Issa and House Republicans’ Permanent Witch Hunt
I’m sorry, but can we talk turkey — I mean, Darrell Issa — for a moment? Is there any fair and balanced news commentator (honest ones, that is, not the Fox News version) who doubts what this guy is all about? Rep. Issa himself has made no pretense of his intentions: Nail Barack Obama first, raise Issa’s profile second (or maybe that’s first), and get at the truth last.
Even before he took over the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, with zero evidence in hand, Issa called Obama “one of the most corrupt presidents in modern times.” In his relentless search for evidence (and headlines) since, he has found nothing to back up that statement, making him look like a buffoon. (Even the Solyndra scandal turned out to be a question of incompetence, not corruption, as Issa himself has admitted.)

It seems the fact Fast & Furious supplied the guns which have killed 100s of Mexican citizens and the very gun which was used to kill US Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry has been lost on the Media who are more concerned with protecting Barack Obama and Eric Holder than they are about the truth. This from the same media who however, made the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin into a national race war and the poster child for stricter gun controls. This is the same media who paraded the parents of Trayvon Martin onto every Network and Cable Network news and morning show to claim ‘my son was killed for no other reason than the color of his skin,’ pumped up by the bigoted and hypocritical Al Sharpton.
This is the same media which covered Congressional hearings into the shooting death of Trayvon Martin where Rep. Frederica Wilson, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, Rep. Maxine Waters, et al.. used the Martin shooting for political purpose, who now find that Congressional hearings & investigations into Fast & Furious and the documented perjury of Justice officials to be ‘Republicans permanent witch hunt,’ or buying ‘into gun nut delusions.’
Why is it this same media has no sense of anger over the fact that Brian Terry lost his life for no other reason than the United States Justice Department, his employer no less, was putting guns into the hands of Mexican drug runners?’
Sinclair News has to ask, ‘What if the gun which killed Trayvon Martin had been traced back to Fast & Furious?’ Would the killing of a black teen by a gun put into the shooters hand by the US Justice Department cause the Media to report Fast & Furious differently? Would if bring out the Democrats Champions for the Oppressed like Al Sharpton, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, et al….? These are very fair and valid questions when you look at the media’s coverage on the Fast & Furious matter since Barack Obama invoked ‘Executive Privilege.’
Parents of Brian Terry Speak Out

As Congress battles with the Dept of Justice and the Administration over Fast & Furious documents – the parents of the slain border agent, Brian Terry, wait for answers in their son’s death.
Josie and Kent Terry spoke exclusively to Fox correspondent William LaJeunesse and told him they believe the government is hiding something.
They were told Congress would find out what exactly happened to their son that night and who was behind his death. But they would rather wait than accept the few selected documents handed over by DOJ.
In response to all the support the Terrys have received they have launched the Brian Terry Foundation. The Foundation will raise money for other slain Border agents families and for youth who want to go into law enforcement.

Murdered border agent Brian Terry’s parents accuse Obama officials of ‘hiding something’

The parents of murdered border agent Brian Terry told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday that they think Attorney General Eric Holder and other Justice Department officials are “hiding something” in their response to the botched anti-gunrunning operation Fast and Furious.
The operation let illicit guns “walk” in the hope of tracking them to bigger traffickers, but many of the guns just disappeared into Mexico. Two of those guns were later found at the crime scene where Terry was killed in December 2010 just north of the border.

Why is it that the media doesn’t report how these guns are responsible for killing innocent children in Mexico, isn’t this the same media who claims Americans who opposed Obama’s Immigration policy change are bigots and racists who dismiss the basic human rights of Hispanics? What could be more dismissive of the basic human rights of Mexican citizens than the US Justice Department providing guns to Drug runners who kill innocent people who get in their way?
So we ask, ‘What If?’ Maybe the same media which is only now talking about Fast & Furious because Obama’s invoking of executive privilege has forced them too should ask themselves, ‘What If?’
