Boy, you GOP-ers sure are oppressed.

 

[Denny Crane]

C'mon people. Where's the outrage?

Seriously, what would Obama have to do before you think he's done wrong?

 

[MarAzul]

Boy, you GOP-ers sure are oppressed.

You ok with this sort of thing?

 

[PapaG]

You ok with this sort of thing?

As long as it's his team doing so, apparently. I guess he'll be the first to be outraged if these tactics are used against him.

Boy, you know if I posted something from, say, dailykos.com, which said that, say, Congressman Charles Rangel had written a letter that alleged some misdeed on the part of the Republicans, I'm pretty sure certain people here named PapaG, Denny Crane, and MarAzul would dismiss it out of hand as outrageous partisanship.

So I don't do that. But, you know, I could, if the goal here is just to see who can spew the most bullshit.

Well, the IRS has admitted to committing multiple felonies, and physical evidence supports high-level massive abuse of office at the direction of the Democratic Party and in collusion with the media to smear the Republican Party.

Throw in every American's personal communications and amp up on gun control a tad more and you have the makings of a coup.

Because of funding from Koches and other oligarchs (as designed by the conservative Supreme Court), there are many more groups on the right than on the left. (Notice how all that spending fails to win elections, because most Americans are strongly Democratic.)

So when the IRS targets political groups a batch at a time, it's usually a batch of conservative groups, sometimes a batch of liberal ones months later.

For example, notice the right-wing blog used in the OP. I could complain that a mainstream source couldn't be found. But this illustrates my point, the fact that most of the media, and auditable groups, are funded from the Right.

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops.

You and your "if" fantasies.

I don't care about fairness. I care about conservatives being corralled, their outrageous power curtailed, their policies wiped from the earth, their women's wombs made barren, their earth salted, and their homes irradiated.

But I'll settle for a little jiggery pokery around the IRS.

I already think he's done a lot of things wrong.

 

[Eastoff]

This sounds illegal. I hope due process is followed, and those responsible find their court date.

Excuse me? I'm an ( ) "Independent" ( ) like Denny.

 

[Denny Crane]

FWIW, I don't see this as any more outrageous than many things going on these days. I'd take powerlineblog with a grain of salt. It's certainly tilted to the right (to say the least).

If the IS audited everyone who bought a Prius when Bush was in office....look OUT!!!!

 

[PapaG]

The IRS says that Lois Lerner's emails from 2009 to 2011 were lost due to a computer crash.

I wonder what happens to a person being audited who uses that excuse.

Felons.

Felons.

So what the computer "crashed", they should have about 42 copies of back up data for stuff that many year back.

A special prosecutor need to be appointed to investigate and prosecute Obama.

18 seconds of erased tape.

18 seconds of erased tape.

18 seconds??? Does not compute.

 

[Denny Crane]

My bad. 18 minutes.

Ok, I will add you to the list.

 

[PapaG]

I figured Bush would be blamed for the IRS somehow losing emails to and from the head of the IRS.

I still think he was just getting high and listening to Side A of Close To The Edge.

Close to the Edge, just by a river.

 

[PapaG]

So who won the game tonight? Amurrrrica...

 

[PapaG]

WH spokesman Josh Earnest says anybody questioning veracity of the head of the IRS's emails being lost due to a computer crash is a conspiracy theorist. Any Obama supporters still believe a word anybody affiliated with the WH says?

I know, Bush did it too!

2nd Article of Impeachment against Nixon was for abuse by the IRS, though that was never proven. Barry golfed in Palm Springs today.

At least you're honest about using the federal government to target political opponents of the Obama administration. Remind me to try to not spit in your face should I see you, but I respect you being honest about your tolerance for fascism. It's quite refreshing, actually.

 

[PapaG]

Trey Gowdy rips apart the head of the IRS. The most amazing thing about this is seeing Democrats defend the IRS. That right there tells you something isn't right. Plus, the IRS guy, who is a lifelong Democrat, tries to get in some one-line quips while getting his asshole torn apart.

This is better than anything you'll see on fictional TV. This IRS dolt keeps repeating how he hasn't seen "any wrongdoing," and may have just perjured himself had he not thrown Obama and Carney under the bus. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude,

Nixon directly ordered the misuse of the IRS, FBI, CIA, and other agencies against his political enemies. The IRS may not have complied, but giving the order is impeachable. Nothing close to this involving Obama, other than the NSA which preceded him (and he's not stopping it).
