Holder on tough questioning: 'What Attorney General has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?'

Today, Eric Holder appeared before the National Action Network. That's the alleged civil rights coalition led by FBI stoolpigeon, MSNBC host, and track suit aficionado Al Sharpton. Holder was there to address NAN's 2014 convention.

During his speech, everyone's favorite Attorney General veered away from the publicly available transcript of his remarks as he decided to address his ugly appearance before the House Judiciary Committee yesterday. You can tell that he's pretty worked up about it, so comments made by Gohmert and Farenthold must have gotten under his skin. According to Holder:

“I’m pleased to note that the last five years have been defined by significant strides and by lasting reforms. Even in the face, even in the face, of unprecedented, unwarranted, ugly, and divisive adversity. If you don’t believe that, if you look at the way, forget about me, forget about me, if you look at the way the attorney general of the United States was treated yesterday by a House Committee, it had nothing to do with me, forget that, what attorney general has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment? What President has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?”

Awww... Boo hoo. Mr. Holder, the implied race card is duly noted, and the waaambulance is on the way. Actually, to be fair, he may have a point here. I don't recall any previous Attorney General facing such a firestorm. But, then again, I don't recall a previous Attorney General whose resume contained quite the litany of sins that Eric Holder's does. The fact is, from Fast & Furious, to his consistent refusal to enforce the law, to his failure to comply with congressional subpoenas, Holder is a rare bird. So if he's going to stand next to a morally bankrupt crook like Sharpton and demand our sympathy, all I can say is "“You don’t want to go there, buddy... You don’t want to go there, okay?”
