Just another biased, lying, liberal so-called "news"paper there Kenneth. So, I gather you are in favor of furnishing the Mexicans firearms to use to murder our border patrol?

Is it true that there are homeless people living under the bridges of Seattle Washington? We read about Fast and Furious and now I hear about the homeless people in Seattle.

Ken claimed: "Fast and Furious not mentioned on any page of the Seattle Times today except the editorial page which has an article critical of Republicans." THERE YOU GO AGAIN. I give you 3 Pinocchio's for that one. Obama is in the hot seat Well I see the “most transparent administration in history” has hit a roadblock [“White House, GOP escalate gun probe,” page one, June 21]. While it’s true the administration has been transparent in some areas, that’s not necessarily a good thing. The White House has been like a sieve when it comes to top secret security data. For instance, there’s the Osama bin Laden raid data, the Iran flame virus and the drone program. These and more have been leaked so the president can “spike the football” and take the credit — Obama’s feigned outrage is notwithstanding. Now we have the “Fast and Furious” imbroglio. For 18 months, Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice have been bobbing and weaving, trying to avoid their culpability in the whole matter. With a contempt citation for Holder looming, President Obama has jumped into the fray. If he thought to shield his embattled attorney general by asserting executive privilege, he has badly miscalculated. It’s like throwing chum to starving fish because now it puts the whole issue at the office of the president. Obama may soon hear the Watergate mantra, “What do you know and when did you know it?” That hot seat just got a lot hotter. Not smart or fun this close to the election. — Denny Andrews, Bellevue Not a noble action During (former law professor) Obama’s Democratic campaign for the presidency, he made two important promises to the American people: one, lead an open and transparent government, and two, defend constitutional due process. Concerning the congressional investigation into the “Justice Department’s” operation “Fast and Furious, he broke these promises by invoking executive privilege. Seems somewhat “fast.” Is information being withheld from the American people that could make us “furious”? Why not be transparent and allow due process to take its course? Are politics taking precedence over upholding the Constitution a president swears to protect and defend? Are those potentially responsible being protected in the death of an innocent federal agent? Overall, this isn’t a noble action for a Nobel Peace Prize recipient to take. — Mark Sorenson, Gig Harbor seattletimes.nwsource.com

Well, of course. One of the many liberal newspapers which edit the truth.

The Times ran the story the day it broke. I read the opinion piece by Eugene Robinson this am and then read the comments section underneath. He is getting some real heat for pretending to be a journalist. The worst kind of "journalism" I and others have ever read in fact. But then again..........it is to be expected. Liberal so called "journalists" are always writing this kind of biased garbage and you'll see it isn't selling anymore if you read the comments section. It really was a stupid attempt to make excuses for the criminality of F&F.
