Republican presidential candidate and Texas Rep. Ron Paul has now called for Attorney General Eric Holder to be “fired” over Operation Fast and Furious, making only former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich the only GOP candidates who haven’t done so.
In an appearance on Alex Jones’ radio show earlier this week, Paul said President Barack Obama should relieve Holder of his duties, then find out if he can be criminally charged.
“[Eric Holder] should be immediately fired and then there should be an investigation to find out if charges should be made,” Paul said. “And, that’s obviously over the top and all these kinds of sting operations and false flag operations — this is criminal and I think they do it constantly.”
Paul added that he thinks the House oversight committee, which California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa chairs, is “doing a good job investigating” Fast and Furious. He doesn’t, however, know if “charges will be made” against Holder but thinks the attorney general “deserves to have charges up against him.”

WTF…I think all candidates would have fired Eric Holder.
Let me make this clear as I can…Alex Jones likes Ron Paul because Alex Jones is a conspiracy theorist that believes the US government brought down the Twin Towers on 9/11. Ron Paul is a "9/11 Truther". Capice?
Ron Paul let me down last night in Iowa hen he indicated that he would agree to the crazy "Twelver" Muslim clerics in Iran having nukes and blowing up a fw countries to produce their Mahdi out of a well outback of a mosque in Qom.
If Ron Paul is that crazy then the world is doomed.
If Iran gets nukes then every country in the OIC would get their hands on nukes. Good-bye Israel…good-bye west…good-bye world because Iran's mullahs are insane enough to use them.
I take it you prefer our president bow to the shah of Iran and apologize for America? So next you'll make fun of his being a "birther". You just have to be wacked to believe that "conspiracy".
Up in arms against Iran having nukes, but no worries about North Korea that is actively testing nukes. They've even threatened us with them. You think Iran is more unstable the Pakistan? Pakistan HAS nukes. How about Syria? In 2008 it was reveled that they had an undeclared nuclear reactor similar to what North Korea has. And just think, we are in the middle of their civil war, which is unsupported by Congress. Hope Obammy has us on the "right" side.
These are ACTIVE threats, not a hypothetical. Iran and Iraq are about the ONLY countries in the Northern hemisphere without nukes. Don't worry though, France and Great Britain will just come in and rebuild them what they want….again.
Lets get serious on a hypothetical and not worry about REAL threats.
I guess when you have no other "dirt" on Paul, all you can do is call him a "birther" conspirator, and laugh at his age.
WTF over, Ron Paul has gotten a bad rap and no he is not crazy and he would not allow Iran to run around the world nuking its neighbors. He would first try and use some common sense in dealing with the issue and progress militarily only if necessary to save us or Israel from attack
What Ron Paul is trying to impress on everyone is the fact that if we had done things right in the first place we wouldn't be worried about some camel jockey acquiring nukes.

Ron said, I can't see why Iran can't have nuclear weapons because they are surrounded by countries that have nukes. Like who, for instance? Pakistan? Israel? India? China? Russia? They are the only other countries I know of and Israel isn't a "fur-sure"! Iran getting a nuclear weapon and missiles that could carry them to the US woudl so destabilize the world it wouldn't be real. Why not let Cuba have nukes? Venezuela? (Hugo Chavez may yet get his nukes…from Iran), or how about just giving them to the Mexican drug cartels? Would that be balance enough for Ron?
So I don't think Ron has a firm grasp of international security and foreign policy. He's a nut-job, possibly creeping up on early senile dementia, on nitro-glycerin, in that respect.
You said a mouthful and your so right.
I'm not in favor of Iran having a nuke. That idiot in charge is crazy beyond loco…. but; isn't it kind of ironic that the men/women of the service contribute more to Ron Paul than all the other candidates put together [reportedly].
Who's to say Iran doesn't already have nuclear capabilities? If they show they do, who do you wish to "stop" them? The U.S.? Great Britain? China? France? The U.N?
North Korea IS doing nuclear testing. They HAVE threatened us with them. Will we stop them? Are you aware MOST of Europe has nuclear missles?
Pakistan, India, North Korea are non-signatory on the Non-NPT as a nuclear country, although they do have them. Mexico HAS weapons grade uranium and the ability to produce WMD. Mexican's Military keeps a presence at its nuclear research facilities. It's also believed they were involved in the Vela Incident.
If you call a person wanting to put gov. control BACK into the hands of the people, to remove gov. control of the people, not allow the gov. to say who lives and dies a "nut-job", then your views are warped.
For a 76 year old man, who you believe must have dementia, he has a MUCH better grasp on reality than the "child like", media hound usurper we have in right now. A large majority of Americans believe as Ron Paul does. Do we all have dementia and need nitro-glycerin? We also agree with Ron, CLOSE the borders.
This is one of the saner things this old geezer says of which I agree with him on.Most of his rantings are way out there.The old buzzard should be seen and not heard like a little kid.
The only thing standing between a free America and total catastrophe with everyone a slave is folks like you.
Either bone up and then stand up or stay ignorant and whimper in the darkness.
The progressives are out to get you. Find out who they are.
Your right people have to be scared of progressives and liberal socialist democrats like Obuma,Soros and the crazy old creep that has the insurance business but some of what Paul says has merit but the rest is total bull .
Obviously, he's much wiser than you, for such a statement. It proves to me, that you're the one that should be seen, not heard.
You wouldn't be a Paul supporter would you and he is so wise that he has lost every bid for presidency.
You got hat right fire him and bring charges against him.
I have been undecided up until this interview. I am going to support efforts to get Ron Paul elected to the Republican nomination and see Mr. Ron Paul win the Presidency.
I know my vote is only one small voice, but Ron Paul has the Country's survival as his priority.
Kudos to the producers of this story and interview. Very well done!!!
This whole adminstration is corrupt. Holder is in place to protect Obama. Obama is more than likely behind the fast and furious operation as I believe it was designed to attack the 2nd amendment. If this can be proved that Obama was in charge of this, then Obama should be immediately impeached. Obama has done enough things now to be impeached around 30 times over. just because the Republican party believe the 2012 election will oust him, I believe they are playing with fire. what if somehow this idiot manages to be re-elected? Obama is damaging our country every way he can I I want to see Congress get rid of him. If you do wrong, you pay, stop giving Obama a pass. there is good evidence to show that wrong doings were done against our Constitution and other laws, and when the laws are broken, then get him the hell out of there. The issue with the birth certificate and the phone social security number Obama is using issued from CT a state he never lived in and won't pass an e-verify says it all right there. Obama shouldn't even be running for another term, he should be sitting in an impeachment court.
If people pay attention very closely, our rights are being taken away everyday. If the laws are enabled to put away an American citizen without a trial or habius corpus then our our country isn't the United States any longer. It would then be The United Socialist States Republic (USSR) . These usurpers need to be dealt the hand they are trying to dish out, our country has been infiltrated by communist and Marxist types. I say anyone of our elected leaders who are in favor of these types of laws be thrown out of office and jailed. This sort of thing is outrageous. In all my life I have never seen such government corruption and the erosion of our rights such as what I've seen in the last three years. It is time to put a stop to this crap.
I'm just curious why Ron Paul would lower himself to talk with Alex Jones? Obammy has him in his back pocket, along with all the other major media outlets.
Holder is guilty and the question is how involved was the Obamanation cabal in wanting to erode our The Peoples Constitution and our 2nd Amendment Right to bare arms.
The GOP are a bunch of pink pajama wearing wimps. When are they going to get tough in their speeches like all of us on the street, at work, in the coffee shop, with our neighbors. They make me sick. Newt just barely blasts the communist's in the red house and they worry if he was to offensive. Also I wouldn't ever subject myself as a candidate to those pinkos from lame street media like Dianne Sawyer or even that cradle to grave hack from Fox, Chris Wallace. All those repub candidates should go down the list of mandates of that insane and inhuman health care bill. My God, there is really nothing to listen to coming from the GOP wimps. We are doomed.
Ron Paul has more sense than all the rest of them put together but he does not go far enough. Holder and Obama shoul be brought to justice for SIMPLE TREASON for that and for Arizona that tried to stop the enemy fronm crossing the border. Thay should get the fireing squad.
So when is Holder going to be held accountable for his treasonous acts?Oh that's right ,in Bizarro America Holder get's the coveted "Free Pass for Blacks" . Bastard needs to be placed in front of a stonewall & shot.
RP is dead on with this! I've been saying for over a yr. now, that formal charges need to be filed. But know one thing, the Imposter will never fire him. Holder has too much on his boss that would implicate him in FnF. This will come to a boiling point, soon but will only be one of the issues that causes for revolt amongst Americans and some patriotic Congress members.
Hello Ron, something truly missing on fast and furious murder scheme committed by eric holder and obama. why the murdered agent's family not filing law suit against eric holder and obama? all I heard is repeated write up nothing settle this issue. fastest way to get the bottom of this case is the agent family bring criminal charges agaist eric holder, obama and alcohol, tobacco, firearm agent for this murderous scheme. i'm still waiting one of the GOP with guts to initiate criminal case on these felons.
Our sources advise that family is preparing Wrongful Death suit. They are apparently waiting for more intel from Issa/Grassly investigation. Once that is done, and results are posted/made public, that will strengthen the WD suit. We now see Holder playing the race card, hoping that it will force/influence Congress to back off for the fear of racial rioting/interference. It is Holder's/Obama's last hope.
