  • Wow. That's as classy a backtracking cya than heckbunker has ever managed before.

    He's been....practicing with an expert....

  • Once again, I've entered the up-is-down world of The Browns Board, where being measured and correct is "backtracking" and saying this came directly from Holder and Obama to punish their political enemies is seen as truth telling.

    As my Irish grandmother used to say, "Lord, help those men."

  • Honestly, go look at Fox News right now.

  • Nobody said it came from Holder and Obamao.

    Ever. Those two are doing everything they can to stop us from knowing what really happened,

    apparently, with the NDA's, bluster by Clinton and Clapper et all.

    Yeah, I went to Fox News. There's nothing there to discredit the desire to get

    answers about Benghazi. Every scandal is the same with you, heckbunker - "DON'T LOOK BEHIND THAT CURTAIN,

    OF COURSE THERE'S NOTHING THERE"

    So, let's look behind the curtain. Fair enough, to get you to criticize the coverup now?

    Cal, in June: "With Holder having lied to Congress about it...and all the many, many times the head of the IRS met
    with Obamao at the WH?
    Face it. Holder AND Obamao should resign, and take Biden with them.
    For a start. They and their cronies have stunk up our gov profoundly. And I do mean "PROFOUNDLY".
    Don't give the rest of us who care about our country the usual "well, Bush wasn't perfect".
    This isn't a matter of perfect or political disagreement. This is corruption at the worst in American history.
    Obamao and co. act like they have a mandate to become authoritarians, and they will do anything to keep that
    power."
  • Think how far you guys have moved the goalposts from the original claims of this scandal. At first it was that you believed that someone in the political arm of the White House had directed the targeting of conservative groups by the IRS to help win an election. Some, including you Steve, suggested Obama was involved, but would simply claim he didn't know. (Because hey, you accused the Obama political arm of obviously manipulating the Benghazi talking points, and you sure were right about that!) Or that Holder was involved. Or that they were both involved. But you knew someone was directing this thing out of the White House.

    Fast forward a couple months...

    Now the right is trying to claim that, okay, maybe conservative groups weren't the only ones targeted, and that progressive groups were targeted as well. But conservative groups were targeted more. And sure, maybe it wasn't necessarily political, and that this was carried out by IRS agent who are self-described Republicans. BUT! We know that the head of the legal affairs section of the IRS is a political appointee, and that the legal affairs office was brought in for clarification on how to deal with all of these new groups, so ....is that close enough to the White House for ya?

    It's really getting pathetic.

  • Yes it us.

    Pathetic.

    Spin on.

    WSS

  • Ah, the Browns Board. Where reality is spin, and mindless spit-flying insanity passes for truth.

  • Heck, everyone on here know your tactics, find another board to try and act clever. We are not impressed.

  • Ah, the Browns Board. Where reality is spin, and mindless spit-flying insanity passes for truth.

    And the truth in this particular situation is that the administration aint quite so savory as you wish they were.

    WSS

  • And the truth is ...what exactly, Mr. Truth Teller?

    Steve, your record on these things is miserable. And you never concede that you got it wrong.

    So, really, do tell. What's happened here? Because right now there's zero evidence that the administration had anything to do with any of this.

    *************************************

    Yep. I said that, because Holder lied about not knowing anything about it, and Obamao appointed Holder,

    and won't do anything about Holder and Fast and Furious, AP scandal, failure to even seriously look at prosecuting

    the Black Panthers...the list goes on.

    That has nothing to do with your claim, sissyboy: "saying this came directly from Holder and Obama to punish their political enemies is seen as truth telling. "

    Never said it came directly from them. Even after the fact, they are sandbagging information on the subject at every turn,

    just like all the other crap that is going on. Why all the sandbagging, if there isn't anything to hide?

    Ah, I remember heckbunker whining and venting about Bush and Cheney outing Plame. Days, even months, I guess.

    Then, when it turns out it was never them...silence from Heckbunker. Nothin. He was WRONG and would never admit it.

    He just kept changing the subject. And finally, went on "vacation" for the summer.
