The fact you think any of those are manufactured scandals makes me take you much less seriously.


I'm a raging right wing nutjob and think fast and furious and Beng. were screwups at best and political CYA at worst( F&F may have the gun control element behind it, but that's right wing conjecture speaking.) Both suck that lives we're lost, but not the worst controversy in the last 4 administrations.

The IRS targeting a should scare the heck out of each and every one of you. That the government would scrutinize a party based on political leaning. Flip the script and those on the left would absolutely outraged beyond Nixonian levels.

For me, the F&F is on par with the IRS and spying on media scandals and above Benghazi.

I believe Benghazi was the result of basic ineptitude and incompetency. They major issue with it, is the coverup.

F&F, I believe was another attempt by the DoJ and ATF, to push more gun control and using illegal means to do so, by pushing weapons into the hands of criminals. This resulted in dozens of deaths. Most just happened in Mexico. Weapons are still being found at crime scenes today though, in Arizona and Nevada. And the coverup of this, on top of it makes it as bad as the IRS scandals. It was illegal activity being done, in the pursuit of creating more restrictions on a Constitutional Right. Holder took a page out of his mentors (Janet Reno) handbook.
