The Incompetence of Eric Holder

While the US has certainly had a couple of "born right here" terrorists - aka Timothy McVeight, statistics show that 90% of the terrorism around the world has been perpetrated by Muslims - om themselves and on people of other faiths.

So perhaps that's what Holder means in the excerpt below - Muslims born in the US are now going to start performing terrorist attacks? (I dont' think he means that, but chances are a lot better for that happening then for another Timothy McVeigh.)

RUSH: Let's go to the audio sound bites, 'cause this is part and parcel of the same thing. Today on Good Morning America (we're up to number six for the broadcast engineer) the Justice Department correspondent ABC Pierre Thomas interviewed the attorney general, Eric Holder. Question: "What keeps you up at night? What keeps you up night? What do you worry about most?"

HOLDER: The concern that perhaps that we might have missed something. The threat is real, the threat is different, the threat is constant. The threat has changed from foreigners coming here to people in the United States, American citizens raised here, born here. You didn't worry about this even two years ago. The ability to go into your basement, turn on your computer, find a site that has this kind of hatred spewed. They have an ability to take somebody who's perhaps just interested, perhaps just on the edge, and take them over to the other side.

RUSH: Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what keeps him awake at night is threats, not from foreigners, but people in the US -- American citizens, raised here, born here. Those are the real terror threats. When was the last one of those? When was the last one of them? And so you see -- and the computer, 'cause you can take these people fragilely balanced on the edge and get some really smart molder of opinions, some terrorist, some crazy site, and the person in the basement on a computer can become a terrorist. This sounds just like Hugo Chavez. This is the language of authoritarian statists. This is the language of dictators. And this next is encouraging. Pierre Thomas said, "Are you confident the United States will continue to they can't afford terror attacks?"

HOLDER: The American people have to be prepared for, you know, potentially bad news.
