The National Border Patrol Council — the union that represents Border Patrol agents around the country — demanded Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation over Operation Fast and Furious on Monday.

According to the Arizona Daily Star, the union deliberated for over a year before making this call for Holder to step down.

“This is something that all of our guys are concerned about, because they know it could be any one of them,” Shawn Moran, a union vice president, said according to the Arizona paper.

We take the risks that are out there naturally just being in law enforcement working across from Mexico in the condition it’s in right now,” Moran said. “But what you can’t accept is when your own government is allowing weapons into the hands of the people you’re confronting.”

The National Border Patrol Council represents about 3,700 agents in Arizona and 17,000 nationwide and it joins presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, 129 House Republicans, five Senate Republicans and two sitting GOP governors in demanding Holder’s resignation.

No elected Democrats have called for Holder to resign, but many Democrats nationwide want Holder gone too. New polling data released last week by Rasmussmen Reports shows 21 percent of likely Democratic voters believe Holder should resign over the scandal and 33 percent are unsure. Forty-five percent — less than half — of likely Democratic voters think Holder should stay in office, according to the poll.

No one at all has been held responsible for Fast and Furious, nor has the true aim of the flawed operation been fully determined.

In fact, many of the agents involved have received promotions. The whistle blowers, in direct violation of federal laws, have been reprimanded.

We all know the specifics, but I refuse to believe that the ATF just let those guns walk without any alternative motive--there was absolutely no way of tracking those guns. It is bizarre, and this scandal is not going away.

Who was ultimately responsible for the death of Brain Terry and the literally countless (hundreds? thousands?) deaths of Mexican civilians?

The most disgusting part of this story is how those on the left simply ignore this story. These are the same mental midgets that fabricated a new scandal every week during Bush's presidency--the same ones today clinging to any smear story on Romney as absolute fact.

They will excuse this gross mismanagement and incompetence simply of political reasons.

Sad to say but gross mismanagement and incompetence are rampant in our Govt.

Political reasoning does rule most of the time.
 
I guess the border agents know how to relax after a hard day.


SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - Two border patrol agents have been placed on administrative leave after being accused of engaging in a lewd sex act while attending a performance of Cirque du Soleil at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Both agents were arrested after a fight erupted between the female agent and an audience member who complained to security about the behavior.

Agents Kallie Helwig, 24, and Gerald Torello, 35, were off duty at the time of the incident on the evening of May 27, according to a Sheriff's department report obtained by News 8.

A woman in the audience sitting near the couple spoke to News 8 on the condition she not be identified.

"She had her head in his lap. It looked like her head and her hand where moving up and down and it looked like she was giving him oral sex in public," the woman said.

The witness told deputies, "Two young children that were sitting in the row in front of them had turned around and were watching them."

The woman said she used a strobe light on her cell phone to get the attention of security officers. Soon after, the activity stopped.

But after the show ended, as the complaining witness was exiting the show, she told deputies she saw Agent Helwig "throwing punches in the air" and heard Agent Torello say "… you can take her" and "go on babe," according to the report.

Agent Helwig is accused of punching the woman three times in the face, while Agent Torello scuffled with the woman's husband.

I'm curious, what exactly is your point? Does this excuse the fact that the ATF led an operation that ultimately provided thousands of assault weapons into the hands of drug cartels, and used in the murder of Brain Terry?

This is your retort? Again, DISGUSTING.
 
President Obama was more than happy to throw Wisconsin Unions under the bus so I see no reason why he won't do the same to our Border Patrols Union

He's a tool, anyone that criticizes the Obama adminstration, he'll look for some petty thing to say they deserved it.
 
I thought democrats like the unionized "little" guys....only when politically expedient.

And this is relevant, how?
I seem to remember another government employee getting head as well. His name escapes me right now. It will cum to me (and a blue dress) in a while.
 
The real culprit here is the fascist policy against Americans who use non-government approved recreational substances. Change the laws and take the power of the Drug Cartels away. That way no more Brian Terry's have to die in another failed attempt to legistate morality.

True, but that doesn't excuse or justify Holder's crimes. He must be held accountable.
 
What a fucking moron.....you think if they can legally sell MORE drugs that they won't be more violent to control the market? :cuckoo:

Or better yet, how about Mexican drug gangs setting up their drug stores here in the US like McDonalds. Now, that would make the neighborhood more safe. :cuckoo:

Giving them more customers will only make them more desperate to sell more drugs and steal from each other. Nevermind, more Americans getting strung out on drugs like you.....

Moralist and big government nanny-statist (like you) said the same thing about the mobs selling bootleg liquor in the 20's. But then at that time the violence was happening to innocent Americans and we got to see the damage first hand. Now it's a global war on substances and the innocent people killed are foriegners that our press pretty much ignores. But for every innocent death you and your big government nanny-statist can proudly say "And I Helped"

When hundreds of innocents have been slaughtered, including an American Border Patrol Agent, it is a crime.
 
President Obama was more than happy to throw Wisconsin Unions under the bus so I see no reason why he won't do the same to our Border Patrols Union

Yeah, you would think this would convince even the Obamabots. Now Obama is covering the whole thing up. At least the Border Patrol Union gets it though. I just don't see how anyone can defend Obama & Holder on this. What a mess.
