Attorney General Eric Holder on Tuesday hit back at Fox News over its criticism of him and President Obama for not using the term "Islamic extremists" when discussing recent terror attacks.

“You know, if Fox didn't talk about this, they would have nothing else to talk about, it would seem to me,” Holder said during a luncheon at the National Press Club on Tuesday, dismissing the controversy.

Holder, who will step down when his successor is confirmed, said he worries about the policies in place, not the terminology.
“You know, radical Islam, Islamic extremism, I'm not sure an awful lot is gained by saying that. It doesn't have any impact on our military posture; it doesn't have any impact on what we call it on the policies that we put in place,” he continued.

“The terminology, has – seems to me ­– little or no impact on what ultimately we have to do,” said Holder.

The nuances of thought by this crowd are mind-numbing.  The American people need to hear unequivocal messaging from the Commander-in-Chief when it comes to their security.  These guys have no issue fabricating racial incidents out of nonsense but they can't name the very real existential threats we are facing?  My God!

Both Obama and Holder hate Fox News more than they hate ISIS.

It's obvious at this point.  Who will be the first administration member to finally flip on Obama, in an attempt to try and save not only this country, but also the Middle East?

None will flip.  They are what's known as "fellow travellers".
Why?  Well, because I'm a bastard, that's why.

You're probably right.

Indeed, to the last man.

As are 99.95% of -ALL- democrat politicians, everywhere.

Nothing will happen until just before or just after Jan. 20, 2017, when the rats will all start abandoning ship.
