House Report: FDIC Targeted Gun Dealers Under Operation Choke Point
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released a report Monday that said the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation unfairly treated gun dealers and other companies as illegal entities, and convinced banks to stop doing business with them under the Obama administration’s Operation Choke Point.

#1  Ok. So what's going to happen to those responsible?

Anything?

Anyone fired? Lose their pension? Time in prison?

#2  A 3in mod 60 and a taste of heaven.
Man that is just waitin' for a Sat. nite DOWNTOWN!

#3  What would the media reaction be if this was done by are republican administration to planned parenthood and abortion doctors?
Posted by: airandee || 12/09/2014 6:24 Comments || Top||

#4  'Operation Choke Point'...so reminiscent of Lois Lerner and her team. I'm curious as to other 'Choke Point' initiatives. Something for the next Attorney General, or the Attorney General after, to look into. Rudy, are you there ?

#5  Good chance the next President will also be Democrat - they can't possibly lose states with 240 electors, meaning they only need to take Florida or its electoral equivalent in addition. That's asking a lot of the Stupid Party.

#6  Sadly true, especially since Bushitler 2 aka RINO 1 will be crushed in the primaries and Walker aka RINO 2 has only an outside chance at the veep at best for the same reason. Throwing away Florida for sure and an excellent chance at Wisconsin. Good news is we will hold Texas and ?Kentucky.

#7  I haven't heard a single name on either side of the aisle that blew my skirt up yet for 2016.

#8  To anyone in the industry, this was obvious.

Zero Launches 'Profanity-Laced' Tirades Against Press
According to retired ABC News journalist Ann Compton, Barack Obama has launched into "profanity-laced" tirades against the press in off-the-record meetings with reporters. In a C-SPAN interview, Compton also derided the President for leading "the most opaque" administration of "any I have covered."

The journalist, who retired in August after a 40-year career, revealed to C-SPAN's Brian Lamb: "I have seen in the last year Barack Obama really angry twice. Both were off the record times. One, profanity-laced where he thought the press was making too much of scandals that he did not think were scandals." [MP3 audio here.]

#1  Because, though he knows nothing, you are his b**ches.

#2  Let me guess....

....Ann will vote for whomever the Dems put up for president in 2016, despite all this.

#3  Screaming and elevated levels of angry bile directed at sheepish lickspittles. Could cause a man's throat to become sore.
Posted by: Besoeker || 12/09/2014 7:22 Comments || Top||

#4  You don't know your place peasants! Journalist ethics? "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;"

Nuff said.

#5  The press is the best friend Obama has; these tirades make no sense.
Posted by: Raj || 12/09/2014 11:34 Comments || Top||

#6  Note - "recently retired." And on CSPAN. Not ABC, her former employer.
Posted by: Pappy || 12/09/2014 13:15 Comments || Top||

#7  Temper, temper!
Tisk, tisk, tisk.
Posted by: bigjim-CA || 12/09/2014 13:21 Comments || Top||

#8  Not just a bad president. He's a bad person as well.
Posted by: Iblis || 12/09/2014 15:13 Comments || Top||

#9  The press is like a battered spouse. He's putting them in their place because lately they've been a bit willing to critic and we can't have that.

#10  Supplicants are always held in contempt by those they worship.
