but:
1. This isn't an official Democratic Party website, thus the site name
2. There is no rule here saying we have to be nice to Holder, or agree with his policies
3. There's plenty of room for people who support and oppose Holder
4. Behave in whatever way you feel is appropriate, but understand that if you start out being adversarial, you will attract that same sort of response.
