Midknight Review -- new and revised: Congressional Republicans blast Eric Holder for gross incompetence and threaten to walk out on a hearing they had called involving this malcontent.

In an interview in February, Holder said he had no respect for those who joined in what he dismissed as an act of "partisan sport." All but three House Republicans backed the criminal contempt measure.

“I have to tell you that for me to really be affected by what happened, I’d have to have respect for the people who voted in that way,” Holder told ABC News. “And I didn’t, so it didn’t have that huge an impact on me.”

That was then, the following was yesterday, Thursday the 18^th, and reveals the contempt held for Holder by Congressional Republicans:

The fact there is no love lost between Attorney General Eric Holder and House Republicans was on clear display again Thursday afternoon at a stormy House appropriations panel hearing which culminated with the subcommittee's chairman declaring he'd given up on Holder and his stewardship of the Justice Department.

"Forget it. Forget it. Forget it. Forget it. Forget it," an exasperated Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) declared after Holder refused to commit to a deadline to answer 91 questions Wolf had prepared. The lawmaker, who heads the House Appropriations subcommittee that oversees the Justice Department, said he planned to forego asking the questions orally so that Holder could leave the session in order to attend a meeting relating to the Boston Marathon bombing investigation.

"We're just going to ignore you. I'm going to ignore you," said Wolf, who complained earlier in the two-hour-long hearing that Holder and his aides had not responded to a slew of letters seeking information on various subjects. "Your civil rights division is a rats' nest....I think you've been a failure with regard to the prison industries. You were a failure with regard, with regard to prison rape....If you're not going to answer the questions...."

"Frankly, I'm not going to pay any attention to you because your positions with regard to these budget....You come up here. You were initially going to stay for the whole time. If you're not going to answer these questions, then we're not going to pay any attention to you. Hearing adjourned," Wolf declared. (you can read the full story in the Politico.com)

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
