THE VETTING - HOLDER 1995: WE MUST 'BRAINWASH' PEOPLE ON GUNS
ERIC HOLDER:"We must brainwash people about Guns"
by JOEL B. POLLAK 10 hours ago Breitbart.com has uncovered video from 1995 of then-U.S. Attorney Eric Holder announcing a public campaign to "really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way."Holder was addressing the Woman's National Democratic Club. In his remarks, broadcast by CSPAN 2, he explained that he intended to use anti-smoking campaigns as his model to "change the hearts and minds of people in Washington, DC" about guns."What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that's not cool, that it's not acceptable, it's not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way in which we changed our attitudes about cigarettes."Holder added that he had asked advertising agencies in the nation's capital to assist by making anti-gun ads rather than commercials "that make me buy things that I don't really need." He had also approached local newspapers and television stations, he said, asking them to devote prime space and time, respectively, to his anti-gun campaign.Local political leaders and celebrities, Holder said, including Mayor Marion Barry and Jesse Jackson, had been asked to help. In addition, he reported, he had asked the local school board to make the anti-gun message a part of "every day, every school, and every level."Despite strict gun control efforts, Washington, DC was and remains one of the nation's most dangerous cities for gun violence, though crime has abated somewhat since the 1990s.Holder went on to become Deputy Attorney General in the Clinton administration, and currently serves as Attorney General in the Obama Administration. The video of Holder's remarks was uncovered by Breitbart.com contributor Charles C. Johnson

or brainwash people with drugs ?
I was confused for a second there.
Here's an idea. Why don't we supply the Mexican drug cartel with guns and then when they start killing people with them, we can try to ban them then after the public outcrys, as they have been brainwashed to do.
Yeah, that's a great idea.
Holder was trying that exact same model to reach out to KIDS and TEENAGERS to send a message that guns are "not cool". He is using the exact same tactics that the "Just Say No" campaign did. He was trying to save lives, and what on earth is wrong with that?
There ARE too many guns on the streets that kids have easy access to.
This story is just another stupid Breitbart smear campaign that will backfire and instead show that Holder cares about reducing the number of guns and incidents of violence among our youth.
United States Attorney General Eric Holder in my estimation lacks a moral compass.
You saw and heard those words at a Ted Nugent concert? Now don't you think if that was true, that the anti-gun media would have had that footage or audio everywhere by now?
Dude, get a grip.
He insults people who are here illegally. He insults people living off of the government, not because they have to, but because they are lazy. Hell, Ted has insulted just about anybody there is to insult. I have never heard of a reliable report of him using the N word, but lets just say he has. If he has used it in a very public setting like a concert, then shame on him, no only is it in poor taste, it also is not smart on a personal level. But that hardly makes a man who has written songs about a woman's nether region a racist. The sexist thing may be debatable, but I suspect his wife, who he has been married to now for quite a few years, may have toned Ted down a bit in that manner.
If that is what he did at his concerts, the video would be running on the MSM over, and over, and over.
Ted is from Detroit. Many of his musical heros are black, and it is urban music that Ted cut his teeth on. He most certainly does not hate blacks, he would not even be playing guitar if it was not for them.
Furthermore, Ted does a great deal of work with inner city youth. So you grand dragon of the KKK characterization is ridiculous.
Ted has ranted on stage before about illegal aliens, and then pointed out to the crowd his bass player was hispanic. Ted's musical heros were black guys, he loves James Brown, and Motown. What are the chances of him getting into the Klan, or a White Supremacist organization? Zero, because if he was going to shot someone, it would be them.
Ted is a choir boy when compared to Keith Richards, and that is saying something.
Furthermore, he filed a lawsuit in Federal Court (in Grand Rapids, Michigan) over the cancelation of the show.
The Mother Jones story.......
"appeared onstage wearing a cut-off T-shirt emblazoned with a Confederate flag and shouting unflattering remarks about undocumented immigrants, including kicking them out of the country", according to people who were in attendance.
And that is not racist.
Ted is outspoken, and uses strong language, but you must find me him using the N word is a context that is racist, in order for it to be racist.
The Rolling Stones have used the N word also, but again it was not in a racist way. Context means everything.
And, talk about stealing, the Rolling Stones are the thieves of the Rock world, not only have they borrowed from the Blues and R&B of the American blacks, they have ripped off plenty of people over the years, and Jagger and Richards have even ripped off of their own band members. Ted's influences are what they are, and he respects them (he is a big fan of black musicians...

Ted grew up in Detroit and he knows more about black people, and loves black people more than some black people.
.......performing.......
"Baby Please Don't Go" (gee, isn't that a Blues classic, written by a black musician, first preformed by a black musician?)
Looks like it worked, nobody even lost their job.
