Lois Lerner Criticized GOP As 'Crazies,' 'Assholes' In Emails

[Lakhota]

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former IRS official at the heart of the agency's tea party controversy called conservative Republicans "crazies" and more in emails released Wednesday.

Lois Lerner headed the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status. In a series of emails with a colleague in November 2012, Lerner made two disparaging remarks about members of the GOP, including one remark that was profane.

Rep. Dave Camp, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, released the emails Wednesday as part of his committee's investigation. The Michigan Republican says the emails show Lerner's "disgust with conservatives."

In one email, Lerner called members of the GOP crazies. In the other, she called them "assholes." The committee redacted the wording to "_holes" in the material it released publicly but a committee spokeswoman confirmed to the AP that the email said "assholes."

With emails like this floating around the IRS offices, why would anyone think there's any pro-liberal bias there?

It's a real boner, I say.

Lerner tells her colleague that she overheard some women say America was bankrupt and "going down the tubes."

"Well, you should hear the whacko wing of the GOP," replied her colleague, whose name is blacked out. "The US is through; too many foreigners sucking the teat; time to hunker down, buy ammo and food, and prepare for the end. The right wing radio shows are scary to listen to."

Lerner replies: "Great. Maybe we are through if there are that many assholes."

Her colleague replies: "And I'm talking about the hosts of the shows. The callers are rabid."

Lerner: "So we don't need to worry about alien teRrorists. It's our own crazies that will take us down."

I guess that's enough to impeach Obama!

No shit Sherlock, she had to resign. If she didn't get busted, she would still be Obama's puppet.

It's not just IRS employees who think the Tea Baggers are assholes.

So, how many 501(c)(4) apps from the Tea Baggers did she deny, anyway?

Answer: None

So you see, she was impartial.

The Only Scandal Regarding the IRS is How EVERY Tea Party Group Obtained 501(C)(4) Status

Sounds like anyone who's anticrazy is merely expressing her prosanity preferences. That's a yin and yang kind of thing.

You think if there are criminal charges pending she can't be charged because she retired? What's the statute of limitations for the crimes she committed and which she has NOT BEEN charged?

Bwahahahahaaa.....For the self-appointed USMB Zimmerman trial expert, that's the dumbest thing I think you've ever posted here.

Lois nailed it. She understood the loonies she was dealing with.

People like you and Lois Lerner should never be allowed any duties in government. Americans believe OUR government works for us. You're both political hack trash.
