<![CDATA[Irs Explodes Into A Huge Scandal Now]]>As usual, Heck remains silent a while, while his "only a couple of rogue IRS employees in Cincinnatti..." thing
makes him look like an obedient democratic tool. At least he isn't here arguing over words' and phrases'
"particular meanings" ...
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.;

You keep saying it isn't a scandal, because it hasn't been proven that it

came from Obamao directly. That's nonsense. It's a scandal because it happened by anybody who wanted

to politically help the cause by intimidating and harrassing, and sandbagging conservative groups' applications

for tax exempt status. Why do you always change the definition of words and terms, and subjects?

Can't you just admit things that are true, and just discuss things that are still up in the air?

You're going to have to come up with some sort of directive instead of what you have, which is a conservative Republican saying that he designed these tests.

It's not going to matter for you anyway because you don't think; you hate.

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

Heckbunker insisted that the IRS targeting also included "progressives" and liberal groups, so

conservative groups were not really targeted.

Really? How about a board wide "HAHAHAHAHA !!!" ???

He just cherry picked one allegation, and tried to make the entire IRS scandal go away.

And, I'll just post a search, or whatever source I do choose, will just get demeaned again.

Heck loves the big lie when it suits his purposes. So, once again, here is "crow pie"

But then the IRS inspector general, a Republican, reported that the entire program came from within the agency, with no direction at all from Obama or any members of his team. It was just an agency scandal. Subsequent revelations have made the matter look even more benign. Apparently, the agency also targeted liberal groups for possible violations, using terms like progressive to flag political groups. In other words, there may be no scandal here at all. The IRS was looking to make sure political groups weren’t abusing the tax code by pretending to be nonpolitical, and it tried to search for such abuses by using terms like tea party and progressive that would signal partisanship.

Why did we think the agency was targeting only conservatives? Because apparently Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, ordered the agency to audit its treatment of tea-party groups, and only tea-party groups. The IRS dutifully reported it was indeed targeting tea-party groups; everybody assumed it was doing no such thing to liberal groups. The IRS inspector general is defending its probe, but the IRS's flagging of conservative groups seems, at worst, to be marginally stricter than its flagging of liberal groups, not the one-sided political witch hunt potrayed by early reports.

What about the rest of the scandals? Well, there aren’t any, and there never were. Benghazi is a case of a bunch of confused agencies caught up in a fast-moving story trying to coordinate talking points. The ever-shifting third leg of the Obama scandal trifecta — Obama’s prosecution of leaks, or use of the National Security Agency — is not a scandal at all. It’s a policy controversy. One can argue that Obama’s policy stance is wrong, or dangerous, or a threat to democracy. But when the president is carrying out duly passed laws and acting at every stage with judicial approval, then the issue is the laws themselves, not misconduct.

That's Jon Chait in Ny Mag.

who one person testified that Lerner was targeted them with nonsense and endless months of delays, etc.

And it has now been proven that there was no corresponding degree, not much, of liberal groups being

also harrassed and stonewalled like conservative groups were. haha, heckbunker, you stepped in it again.

I don't know if it's a state gets to decide or not. If a state doesn't have a state court

overruling a ban, then the ban would stand, and the court would not intervene?

I don't know. I'm far more concerned about the evils of the sick and twisted Obamaonazis screwing up

our country.

@heckofajobbrownie said:

Well, not really. You'd have to prove that the targeting was directed from someone above - someone with a political motivation. Otherwise you've just got bureaucratic clumsiness.

There's no evidence of political motivations. "

well we are talking about two different things. I think you are probably correct and if there is a link to the White House it has been hidden well enough. However political motivation would be clear if, in fact, that only a few liberal organizations were targeted and were given less stringentscrutiny and or delay time than conservatives. You understand that I'm sure.

like if a sobriety checkpoint stopped almost all black motorists but claimed it was fair because they also stopped a few whites and then it turned out that the lights were released within minutes while the blacks waited for an hour or more. It doesn't mean that its not politically motivated.

but no matter. Whether it was a bureaucratic mistake or someone trying to do something on their own to boost the Democrats it probably won't reach Pennsylvania Avenue.

There's no evidence of political motivations. You've got no ties to the White House, to any Democratic official. You don't even have any political direction from anyone in the Washington office of the IRS. The only person they can find who designed these searches is a conservative Republican.

It's simply not a political scandal. It looked like it was and then ...it turned out it really wasn't.

Now, what did I say about the Republicans overplaying their hand? Well, watch them continue to embarrass themselves as yet another one of their scandals crumbles.

Because they "don't stop believing."

Bloomberg: "The Internal Revenue Service used terms such as 'progressive' and evidence of advocacy on Israel to flag groups' tax-exempt applications for extra attention, complicating what had been seen as targeted scrutiny for small-government groups."

First Read: "The IRS controversy/scandal looks much more like an agency controversy/scandal (where wrongdoing was committed by bureaucrats) than a full-blown political controversy/scandal (where it goes all the way to the top). And in retrospect, that also applies to those Benghazi talking points."
