Like Obama, when Holder says “conversation,” he means “shut up while I lecture.”

ERIC HOLDER IS BLASTING “STAND YOUR GROUND” LAWS IN LIGHT OF THE ZIMMERMAN VERDICT. Ann Althouse comments:
What nonsense! Let me translate: Holder wants relief from the pressure to prosecute Zimmerman, so he’s shifting to a topic that has nothing to do with Zimmerman but that low-information people think has to do with Zimmerman. (Zimmerman was pinned down before he decided his life was on the line, and he had no route of escape.)

And, yes, I know Holder is also talking about investigating the Zimmerman matter. But “investigating” is code. As we saw with Benghazi, it means: We’re hoping that if enough time passes, you’ll forget about it.

This is all so thoroughly lame. But at the same time: It’s a very powerful person speaking dishonestly and threateningly about the exercise of power. What a disgusting combination.

But predictable enough that Obama voters — especially 2012 Obama voters — have to share responsibility for the disgustingness.

Like Obama, when Holder says “conversation,” he means “shut up while I lecture.”
