Attention Twin Cities Media
By Mitch Berg
Operation Gun Runner (aka “Fast and Furious”) was not an operation done in good faith to “take down criminals” that “went wrong” that “left a mess at the ATF”, as you are all reporting today.
It was a politicized attempt to smear law-abiding gun dealers, law-abiding gun owners, and the Second Amendment movement, purely for the political benefit of the Obama Administration, and the Administration knew it.

Debase currency: check
Undeclared, unpopular wars: check
Secret plan to be revealed right after the election: check
Illegal acts for political gain and massive cover-up: check
Many have suggested this President would be lucky merely to be another Jimmy Carter. No, he’s getting in touch with his inner Nixon instead.
Not sure that’s an improvement.

They could call this Flubbed and Foolish, but that could apply to the entire Obama presidency.

Nate, don’t forget using the Justice Department to harass your enemies and favor your friends.

It’s like they think nobody has reported on this story in the months and months it has been going on. Do they not fear that they will look incredibly stupid for reporting it this way? I guess not.

Nothing can interfere with covering for His Holiness Obama. I demand an investigation of Eric Holder and his Injustice Dept.

For those who use local news outlets and the MSM in general as their primary source of news, nothing or little has.
The fact of the matter is that it’s not just the media that’s at fault, it’s all those who would consider the “news at the top and the bottom of every hour!” to be informative and all they need to know. “It’s great to be part of a news organization that focuses on what’s important to viewers,” says Leah McLean (KSTP).

The only part “that went horrible wrong” that I can see is we found out about the program. Seems to have worked as intended otherwise.

So, they “intended” a Border Patrol agent to get killed with one of these weapons? You might be onto something, Smith.

I see there were actually anti-war protesters protesting Obama yesterday. Apparenly some of our leftwing friends put their convictions first afterall. Even if I disagree with them, I have respect for someone who doesn’t flipflop based on party affiliation.
And one of them said that if Obama was a Republican, there would be 10 times as many people out there.
