In reply to the discussion: Such irrational hatred from DU... [View all]ybbor
(1,554 posts)If I am correct, I am of the feeling that those folks on DU (of whom I will admit I am) who are criticizing Holder, are of the belief he was/is not progressive enough.
We wanted him to prosecute the banksters for their role in the financial collapse.
We wanted him to be more for the working class, and not so much pro-business.
We did not like his excuse, nor the president's of "we need to look forward and not back", when just the opposite is true of every legal proceeding.
We appreciate AG Holder for he did, BUT we expected/wanted more.
The fact that no one from the previous administration was held accountable for their self-admitted war crimes looms large.
We do not cheer his resignation out of disgust, but more out of what could have been.
I could be wrong, but that is my take.
