157 IRS Whitehouse visits scandal.......More like 11 visits

[Sallow]

under oath he was asked why he visited 157 times. He answered without saying that number was incorrect....or at least by sayiong that number seems askew. Albeit, his answer was childish and suspicious....and a mockery of his position.....but he did not deny the amount.

Now, if it had been only 11, he would have said "I do not know the exact number of times I was there but no way did i go there 157 times"..

Furthermore, all members of the committee are given data....so all memebers had the 157 number...and no doubt SOMEONE would have corrected it before hand.

But, of course, that is not proof to you becuase you dont want to know the truth. You wish to contninue to live in a cloud of "nothing is wrong as long as the child president is in office"

More and More it looks like conservatives put Bush Appointee Shulman up to this.

Congress should be purged of them.

Yeah, right, sure, uh-huh.

So why doesn't the White House throw him under the bus like they usually do?

He quit.

What more can they do?

 

[Sallow]

How does FoxNews consistently get it so wrong?

The Fake Story About the IRS Commissioner and the White House - Garance Franke-Ruta - The Atlantic

There it is Conservatives.......a total of 11 visits when he actually attended vs the 157 times he was listed as a cleared visitor

LIsten, that doesn't really matter, we know Obama's a bad guy - we just KNOW it. I know 157 and 11 aren't really close but if you combine that with all the other lies doesn't it add up to one big truth - Obamadummierdumbocrats?!? Why do you hate America so much?

Basically yeah.

What more can they do?

Stop defending him
Investigate him
Force him to tell the truth
File lawsuits against him


There's all sorts of things they can do to him rather than back him up and make excuses for him.

They aren't "defending" him.
Investigate him for what?
Congress tried to "force" Rove to tell "the truth". How'd that work out?
See the point on investigations.

An analysis of a list of groups approved for tax exempt status, released by the Internal Revenue Service in the wake of its admission to targeting conservative groups for heightened scrutiny, determined that of the groups approved, more than two-thirds were conservative.

The analysis, by Martin A. Sullivan of Tax Analysts, examined a list of 176 advocacy organizations that were ultimately approved for tax exempt status by the IRS during the period when the service admits to having targeted certain conservative groups with inappropriate criteria.

According to Sullivan's analysis, 122 of the groups were conservative, 48 were liberal or non-conservative and 6 remain of unidentified ideology.

Hey you stupid drooling twit!

The fact of the matter is this: The article on Huffpo is totally misleading! 48 were not identified as "liberal"... but as "non-conservative" in other words non partisan!!! Second- the point of the analysis was not about approval, but whether or not it was only conservatives targeted for extra scrutiny!!!

What the analysis actually said about the numbers:

Obviously, subjective judgment must be exercised here, and, of course, there may be disagreement about our determinations. We invite readers to review the following table, and upon request, we will send our notes to assist them in making their own determinations. These notes consist mostly of statements taken from the organizations' websites or from news reports describing the organization. In a few cases, this information could not be located, and we used the views of individuals associated with the organization to identify its political leanings.

With all of these caveats, the results of the Tax Analysts review of these organizations are the following: 46 with Tea Party, Patriots, or 9/12 in their name, 76 other conservative organizations, 48 nonconservative organizations, and six organizations about which we can make no determination. A table with brief descriptions of the 48 nonconservative groups appears below.

GAWD but you are not only nauseatingly partisan, but dumb as a box of rocks!
