Eric Holder Answers A Question About Radical Islam

I know that you have probably seen this clip, because it's been repeated a lot in the media, but take a couple of minutes to really think through this situation as it happened. Simply answering the question affirmatively would have been no big deal. Why did Holder have such a problem with this question? The political language barrier to intellectual discourse in this country has really gone down the drain. It was not his beliefs that kept him from answering the question, because he clearly acknowledged the radical element of Islamists in his remarks. It was not even the overly used "political correctness run amok." I think it wasn't even incompetence, although that may be a major issue here. No, the real problem is cowardice. Holder was afraid to answer the question.
