Eric Holder: Gun Owners Should 'Cower' in Shame Like Smokers and be 'Brainwashed'

[Molon Labe]

The hot new video at MRCTV.org is 1995 footage of Attorney General Eric Holder, when he was the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. In his remarks before the Woman's National Democratic Club, broadcast by CSPAN 2, Holder said people should be ashamed to own guns, just the way that cigarette smokes now "cower outside of buildings" to smoke.

"What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that's not cool, that it's not acceptable, it's not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way in which we’ve changed our attitudes about cigarettes. You know, when I was growing up, people smoked all the time. Both my parents did. But over time, we changed the way that people thought about smoking, so now we have people who cower outside of buildings and kind of smoke in private and don’t want to admit it.” Laughter followed. (Video below)


At the end of this clip, Holder says anti-gun ads should run every day, and we need to "really brainwash people to think about guns in a vastly different way."

The clip was found by Breitbart contributor Charles Johnson

Liberals should be ashamed of how shallow and ignorant they appear in their arrogant condescending stances, however... as you can see ...

Eric Holder can go make mad monkey love to a mop handle.

Isn't this the guy running guns to Mexican drug cartels?

Isn't this the guy running guns to Mexican drug cartels?

Yep, one and the same.

But he's the guy who knows nothing about any of that. He said so -- right to Congress' face. And, oddly enough, his own Justice Department investigating team also concluded he knew nothing about any of that.

Kinda makes me wonder. If he doesn't know about that kind of thing, WTF does he do all day long?

He is also trying to raise the 90 day wait preventing illegal aliens from buying guns, the justice department is saying that it is wrong that they don't have the same right to buy a gun as citizens do, I heard this discussed on the Quinn & Rose show at some length but I have no link to the information.

And who is the real AG making the real decisions?

Smokers should cower in shame, huh. Does that include this man:

I doubt that Eric Holder in 1995 had any idea he would some day be the AG of a President who smokes (or at least used to smoke, or only smokes when his wife is out of town).

And after that he supplied the stuff to McVeigh so he could carry out the Oklahoma City bombing!
