Here we go again. Pay no attention to what we are doing to shaft you in your everyday lives... instead lets have a witch hunt.

You really need to take a critical look at the man you're defending and aligning yourself with. It doesn't speak very highly of you.

The law must be applied to all people for it to be truly fair. If he lied to congress, and if thats grounds for impeachment, and it can be proven; then let justice be done.

Ah, our good friend Eric Holder, former legal counsel for Chiquita when the company was brought to court after funding terrorists in Columbia.

$1:

Indeed, Holder himself, using his influence as former deputy attorney general under the Clinton Administration, helped to negotiate Chiquita's sweeheart deal with the Justice Department in the criminal case against Chiquita. Under this deal, no Chiquita official received any jail time. Indeed, the identity of the key officials involved in the assistance to the paramilitaries were kept under seal and confidential. In the end, Chiquita was fined a mere $25 million which it has been allowed to pay over a 5-year period. This is incredible given the havoc wreaked by Chiquita's aid to these Colombian death squards.

According to Mario Iguaran, the Attorney General of Colombia, Chiquita's payments to the AUC paramilitaries led to the murder of 4000 civilians in the banana region of Colombia and furthered the growth of the paramilitaries throughout Colombia and their violent takeover of numerous Colombian regions. Iguaran, in response to the claims of both Chiquita and Eric Holder himself that Chiquita was somehow forced to pay "protection" to the paramilitaries (see, Washington Post and Conde Nast Portfolio), stated unequivocally that "[t]his was not payment of extortion money. It was support for an illegal armed group whose methods included murder." See, Christian Science Monitor, "Chiquita Case Puts Big Firms on Notice."

I'm not aligning myself with him. I just think this is more political trickery to keep us from doing any real changes. Look what happened under Dubya... all the lies and deceit. A trillion dollar war, war crimes, outing of spies, bankers bankrupting us... the list is huge. But this is the guy they go after?

Stop wasting time of gay marriage, religion in schools, and fighting recently passed laws (like Obamacare), and start making some real change ffs.

Too late, you already did and then you defended that action with some limpdick distractions.
