IRS apologizes to Tea Party......

[DJD]

You see....things like this is why I am so against bigger and bigger gubment. It gets to the point that we can do nothing or have no voice and we cry on deaf ears. I hear horror stories about what the IRS can do to Americans who have made mistakes who are not scheming criminals and now this?
Take it a step further and think about the gubmnet having a major play in healthcare. If they own it and they police themselves how can that be good?? Sorry got off topic....corruption isn't a clean cut cancer that gets found out and cut out. It usually involves multiple layers of people and we only hear of the fall guy. I am willing to bet we will never know the whole truth and the next scandal will make this a distant memory. It's scandal after scandal anymore......

Obama is losing favor, and losing it fast.......

Die hard libs that I know are really PISSED at him, and die hard libs in the democratic party, including some serious senate and house members are PISSED......

Even some members here, who are true blue Obama Lovers are beginning to get pissed.

Maybe there is hope yet.

Later,

Obama knows everything and I blame him. It happened on his watch, impeach that useless Dog Turd.

The administration's early spin was this was just some low level IRS workers in Cincinnati. Low and behold it's now been traced back to the IRS office in...wait for it....Washington DC. What a surprise!

BO doesn't know anything. He didn't know what was going on in Bengahzi, Hillary didn't know anything about it. "At this point what does it matter". BO doesn't know anything about the IRS thing even though his good friend at the DOJ said they had to check in to the AP because the leak was one of the worst top three in the history of the US. So it was that important that laws may have had to be broken, but not important enough to tell the most powerful man in the world. HMMMM.

The slickster was impeached not because he relieved his 3rd shakra into the sink off the Oval Office. Or because he preferred an extra aroma to his cigars, no he was impeached for lying before a grand jury. He broke the law. The only reason he survived is because all the Dems circled the wagon. Repubs on the other hand resign before it ever gets that far. They have no support because most of us want to throw the bums out too.

It depends on what your definition of is is.

DH, what's your source for this? The IRS chief just put out a release blaming "rogue" employees in Cincy: URGENT - IRS-Rogue-Employees | Politics - WYFF Home

No surprise the IRS chief would put that out, but like many press conferences put out by people trying to do damage control, it defies common sense.

Here's one link, and there are undoubtedly plenty of others. Let me know if you need me to find them for you. Note the IRS Chief failed to respond to CNN's request for comment. What a shock.

Report finds IRS targeted conservative groups, delayed applications - CNN.com

An excerpt from the story:

Lois Lerner, director of tax-exempt organizations for the IRS, acknowledged Friday that the IRS had targeted some groups for further review because they had those words in their names.

She said the activity took place at the IRS office in Cincinnati, which handles applications for 501(c)(4) status.

Opinion: IRS abuses power in targeting tea party

But documents suggest at least three other IRS offices did the same.

Letters provided to CNN show IRS officials in Washington and California contacted conservative groups to demand more information before approving the groups' requests for tax-exempt status.

The American Center for Law and Justice, a legal group representing numerous conservative organizations, provided CNN with four such letters: one each from IRS offices in Washington; Cincinnati; El Monte, California, and Laguna Niguel, California.

The IRS did not respond to CNN's request for comment regarding the letters.
