There’s no reason to put your political enemies in jail when you can just bankrupt them and destroy their lives:
SHOCK: IRS Admits to Targeting Conservative Groups During 2012 Election, Apologizes
WASHINGTON (TheBlaze/AP) — The Internal Revenue Service is apologizing for inappropriately flagging conservative political groups for additional reviews during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status.
Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS unit that oversees tax-exempt groups, said organizations that included the words “tea party” or “patriot” in their applications for tax-exempt status were singled out for additional reviews.
Now, I would ask you to ask yourself a couple questions related to this story:
1 – If the rule of law is still in place, why hasn’t anyone been charged for this? Or don’t you think that the IRS going after political opponents is a violation of the victim’s freedom of speech?
2 – If the rule of law is in question, and/or this is a threat to the individual right to free speech, is the Constitution still in place?
3 – And if the Constitution is no longer in place, and govt. agencies can get away with doing whatever they want – as long as they are doing it in the name of the ruling Party – how is this not a form of dictatorship/tyranny?
4 – But, if you do not think this represents a political attack on the individual right of free speech, then WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
I bet Richard Nixon wishes he had been President in 2008-2013. Hey, Democrats, when are you going to issue tricky Dick a public apology?

GREAT Post Joe.
Any support for this by the Democrat Base is a clear support of the Non-Constitutional actions of this Administartion. It is similar to the Clinton’s using FBI files on THEIR political foes when he first got elected.
Don,
TY. I’m Still trying… :*)
You know …..
Ohio…….OHIO !
_17 Precincts didn’t register 1 Vote For Romney….
_The Cincinnati Office of the IRS abuses its owers in a Specifiv, Targeted witch-hunt….
_ and A Cleveland registered Democrat, School Official Kidnaps, Tortures, Rapes and muderers Babies for 10 Years ! Who NOW is Blameing the Girls for their “Loose Morals”….just like any good muslim would do.
I think there’s an Ohio Story in allthis ….. even it it’s just …” Ohio….it’s the NEW Chicago !..”
..IRS Abuses its’ Powers in a Specific….
Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Clinton, Bush W — now Obama: why should we expect Progressives to be anything other than what they are? And what does it say about us when we are surprised that they do what Progressives do?
Yep ….a nd we could add in there somewhere…..Nixon ( forming the EPA etc.), George HW Bush ( “No new taxes”…we have “A New World Order”), LBJ ( Welfare and the “Great Society ” Programs), and Carter ( The AHA..which led to the 2007/2008 Housing-mortgage Mega-failure).
I think the word Shock was used in Sarcasm. And I think there is a widening Divide…..those who DO INDEED know and understand what is happening………. and those like the caller on Rush highlighted from New York that still say ..”who is Ben Ghazi ” ? who are mixed with those like Melfamy/Cobb and James McPherson who just want us Shot as soon as possible.
Don,
That is why I say we secede: because we can’t defeat corruption at the ballot box when they own the system (Stalin comes to mind here), and we do not want to become them in order to defend ourselves. So, best option: secede.
But …. But ……right now New York City and Clifornia are right now putting it ballots to allow NON-US-Citizens the right to VOTE !!!!!
And Here in Texas Leftist Zuckerberg’s group…the East Germany sounding..”Americans for Conservative Direction”…..is hosting radio ads featuring the RINO Rubio-Amnesty bill as the “Most Conservative immigration Bill ever”…….with the Fraud Rubio selling it to the Max! As it’s been said….if they take Texas with the Amnesty Bill….it is over wrt the Electoral College votes !
Seceding …. Along with Nullification ……. along with Beck’s…”I will NOT Comply” ……. are the General direction.
And now ABC News is taking credit for “breaking news” on redacted Benghazi (Hillary Clinton) documents. I believe I just saw a pig fly by my window.
ROFLMAO!
FC, now YOU owe me a keyboard AND a screen.
yes, I think a guy who likes to cry a lot and who shares the same faith as Romney was the first one on the story about the flip-flops, redacted stories, stand-down orders: in fact, now that the “LSM” has decided to “agree,” I think Beck had ALL of this right the first day Benghazi happened.
But then, the only thing we needed was to have some trust in him because he DID tell us his sources came from the highest levels of the State Department and that those sources had first-hand knowledge of EVERYTHING that has happened. 😉
IRS admitting they targeted TEA Party groups. Confirmed evidence of redacted press releases (lies) from the HBIC (head bitch in charge) Hillary. Democrats calling Obamacare a “train wreck” and dictator himself admitting “issues” with implementation. Has the nightmare finally started to end?
Better get the Whisk broom out and sweep-up the “Pig Droppings” outside UR window.
Until this has real legs …. I’m afraid this is all it will turn out to be.
FC<
End? Brother, I don't think it has even started yet. I think we're just now seeing the end of the beginning.
Joe….
End of the Beginning?? …. or Beginning of the End ??
Maybe that’s a Thread in and of itself ?
Sitting here watching Carney duck and dodge the press on a live interview. Just having this discussion, much less a major MSM source push the story, is a ray of hope. Just last week Carney was saying this happend “a long time ago” and they were trying to push Bengahzi back under the table.
How humiliating for Carney. Caught in a bald faced lie and has to come out and do it all over again. I can imagine the conversation at the WH. Carney whinning please, please don’t make me do this again and not having the balls enough to resign first. In his Utopia how long before this useful idiot is cast aside. Already at Ready, Aim so all that’s left is Fire.
I am actually happy about ABC finally waking up to the bullshit this administration is shoving down American throats. Sad that these fuckups took this long to excoriate the politburo in the White House.
And its absolutely hilarious that this administration in the wake of the ‘ABC bombing” would call for a ‘secret’ meeting with the press.
The Key is …. will they give him his Secret Meeting….and what will be their Tune AFTER the Meeting.
Already AP is spinning this as the IRS as the Good Guys for “Making sure that the Correct Groups GET tax-exempt status and INCORRECT groups do not “.
I think this is going to be a Bait and Switch action …. and The Country will once again be left with a Traitorus Press functioning as just another Arm of the (Democrat) Government…….just l;ike they’re doing with Benghazi in order to Protect Obama now and Hillary’s Presidential Chances Later.
Hope to Hell I’m Wrong !!
Just heard that the IRS is now saying nobody actually broke any laws and that nobody will get charged with any crimes.
Of course not. Now if it were Nixon …
