Wow, in the NY post of all rags...go Issa!

[Mute]

He's not in jail yet. I don't know how tough his week has really been.

I do: Not even close to tough enough.

[Full Clip]

Hmmm, although there are (at least) hundreds of these rifles in private hands across the U.S., this is the first time I've ever heard of a Barrett .50 being used in a crime:

"Marisela Morales, the Mexican attorney general, estimates that at least 200 Mexicans have been killed with Fast and Furious weapons -- among them, a powerful Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifle that took down a federal helicopter."

Thanks for making it all possible, Mr. Holder!!!

Ignorant writers and reporters have been talking about "Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifles that can shoot helicopters out of the sky" for so long that I think this must be just a memetic mutation, not an actual occurrence. I mean, think about how many times a "fully automatic AK-47 assault rifle" has turned out to be no such thing.

Edit: Looks like seeing is believing. Down below, Burbur posts this news story that confirms "helicopter shot down."

"The (dumb) idea was to trace cross-border arms trafficking, and so prove the (false) claim that 90 percent of the guns seized in Mexican drug war zones originate in the US. (The real figure is closer to 17 percent.)"

My favorite part.

It seems the bad guys have a thousand feet: no matter how many times they shoot themselves in the foot, they're still standing.

[BroncoBob]

Lets see how this little gem plays out

[ubet]

Holder wont be touched for this nor will barak hussein obummer.

If this is ever proven true, we will have our impeachment and much more. Nothing until then.

Agreed...QFT

Coming up with lies and cover ups takes a lot out of a fellow.

[Crom]

My favorite quote

“There is an ongoing coverup of a pattern of wrongdoing,” Issa noted earlier this week. “Even though I have subpoena ability, I don’t have the ability to lock people up for contempt until they fess up and give us what we want.”

"Shot down" is a little over dramatic "forced to land" might have been overly cautious, but it does appear a Barrett 50 did shoot a Mexican helicopter. : oooh scarrrry :

To the OP, great damning article. The more stones thrown, by more MSM, the better!
