HuffPo's Diane Dimons: "Be furious over 'Fast & Furious:" [View All]

[SteveM]

HuffPo has a locked-in philosophy of gun-control/prohibition; Diane Dimons who just posted there is no exception:

"Truth be told I'd like to see all guns -- from small handguns and glocks to rifles and semi-automatic types -- melted down and used for scrap.

"Tra-la-lah! Wouldn't it be a wonderful world that found no need for guns at all? My logical brain tells me that is never going to happen."

(Well, correction. She isn't a "controller." She's a hard-line and extreme prohibitionist.)



As with most of MSM, Dimond is playing catch-up, and feels obliged to sum up the operations, sans speculation that it is anything more than a sting that went bad, but more to the point she now acknowledges the trouble the Obama administration faces over the "Fast/Furious/Gun walker" scandal:

"And remember the name "Fast and Furious" because I predict you'll be hearing a lot about it in the days ahead."

"There are so many questions. Why, after the scandal was exposed, were four top ATF officials in charge of Fast and Furious promoted to higher paying positions? Why has no one taken responsibility for this monstrous waste of manpower and taxpayer dollars? Why is our top law enforcement official, Eric Holder, being so defensive instead of aggressively going after a special prosecutor to look into this boondoggle? The Department of Justice should not investigate itself."

Dimond's claims not to talk about politics, only "crime and justice" (as if the two are somehow separated), but she represents an increasing trend in MSM to take this gun-trafficking scandal seriously. Seriously enough to ask telling questions, and to make a startling advocacy for a "special prosecutor." In short, it's not just about right-wing blogs or even a few notable MSM outlets like CBS, and the L.A. Times.

It's now about center-liberal groups with a gun-control/prohibitionist agenda like HuffPo.
