The great IRS/Tea party scandle fizzles

[NoNukes]

So basically libtards have decided to simply ignore the existence of the scandal altogether, got it!

We are looking for the existence of a 'scandal'.

Abusing citizens' civil rights.
Using the EPA, IRS, and the SEC to attack political opponents.
Spying on the press.
Using a government agency to do opposition research during a political campaign.
Using threats and intimidation to prevent freedom of speech.

Nope......no scandal.

You are confusing a list and proof. We sure had a list on Bush and Co. and you guys did not care.

Do you think these things didnt happen? The gov't admitted it happened. It isn't a question whether it happened.

No. We don't know that. No one has said it yet. He might be. He might not be. But the fact that these things are going on is a scandal in itself.

Show me the list dip-shit.

We already know all of this has been going on. It's just a matter of who knew and finding a paper-trail.

We can gather from speeches and previous statements that Obama and company all approve of this type of activity and supporters like you like this kind of corruption. You figure anything short of murder is justified. Maybe even murder.

It's clear his Administration is behind it. Used to be that was enough.

You silly assholes tried to blame Bush for everything that happened in the Universe. Everything from prisoner abuse at Abu Gharab to peeling paint and mold at Walter Reed. But Obama, who is the Commander in Chief, the President of The United States, doesn't seem to have any involvement in any of the corruption in his administration. He picked these people. He selected them precisely because they have the same exact mindset. He's responsible. However, you figure he's just out in the wilderness doing his own thing completely disengaged from what his government is doing.

I just don't see any balance in that type of thinking at all.

Really? WHo? And just because some moron on this board says something that doesn't mean much. Unless your entire life is this board.

So, you admit that you are wrong, just say it.

Asking for proof is admission of being wrong? Really?
Your response is proof you cannot substantiate what you say. Therefore you are spouting nonsense. But that is what libs do.

People all over the boards are saying that he is responsible.....because it's his administration. Try and comprehend and not project

There was probably some mention of it, but nothing on the BBC website all week, and very little even on American news websites. If you dig hard enough you can always find something, but this is not proving a point. Why do you think Rupert Murdoch's papers are not making a big deal if it? Because it is not a big deal, just another Republucan witch hunt.

So, you are proven to be flat out incorrect, given links and now foreign news reporting on this scandal is not enough – it MUST be Murdoch’s news sources…

I don’t care what Murdoch’s papers are reporting, I only care what the facts are the facts state that the IRS was targeting groups on the right for nothing more than the names that identified them as right. That, in itself, is a massive abuse of the powers of the IRS. How idiots here can continue to defend this is appalling. Obama can’t even defend it. He has come out against this travesty and here we still have the partisan hacks trying to claim that what they did meant nothing and was fine.

When the Republicans were after Clinton it was big news and all over the media over here. I have been looking for stories and unable to find them. Obviously, if you look hard enough, you will find something. The media does not appear to find it very newsworthy.

It was a walk in the park to come up with those links.

“I do not believe partisanship motivated the actions”—of the officials in the Cincinnati office. What actually happened, he went on, was “foolish mistakes were made by people trying to be more efficient in their workload selection.” Deluged with applications for tax-exempt status, many of which came from conservative groups with ties to politics, the officials took the “short cut” of looking for words like “Tea Party” and “patriots” in the names of groups that submitted applications. But nobody specifically “targeted” conservative groups. “There was no targeting because there was no intent,” Miller said. The applications that the agent put into a queue for further review came from groups from across the political spectrum, he reminded his inquisitors. Only seventy out of about three hundred had “Tea Party” or similar words in their names....nobody has come up with one iota of evidence to contradict Miller’s story. One of the congressmen asked George, the Inspector General of Taxes, if his staff had found any suggestion of political motivations on the part of the I.R.S. employees. “We did not,” George replied.

Doesn't matter.
The point is they have too much power and will be getting more with Obamacare.

Time to end it.....abolish the income tax.

Again, as with Benghazi, what has fizzled – or was never at issue to begin with – is the idiotic, partisan notion that this will lead to ‘impeachment’ of the president.

They started with a premise, which was "We have to impeach Obama" and work they're way backwards. Hence the countless non-scandals we've had since November 2008.

Of course it will fizzle when you have a press in your back pocket and they don't care what is done to us UNLESS it's a Republican President...

all this shit would be FRONT page burners then

that is some sad stuff we are living with people, a media that is against some of the people in this country, those that claim they are Republican

Richard Nixon didn't break into the Watergate Hotel. He didn't even know it happened. That was the point Bob Schieffer made. Nixon didn't have an enemies list. He didn't even know there was one. That came from H.R. Haldeman and John Erlichman.

Yet it was Richard Nixon that was the subject of Articles of Impeachment. He was the boss and responsible for everything his subordinates did.

 

[MarcATL]

The justification that these actions were necessary because of a flood of applications because of the much maligned and always bitched about Citizens United is bullshit.

This claim was made day one on liberal talk radio, literally day after the IRS first made its public apology. Citizens United was to blame. The facts show these desperate claims to be garbage.

Source those "facts" please.

Thanks.

Can anyone show me evidence here? I haven't even paid attention to this story as the right-wing as gone into full on psycho mode screaming and trying to invent conspiracies ever since Obama's re-election that I've largely completely tuned them out. Everything they start whining and screaming about turns out to be bullshit, so I'm just assuming this is yet another loser you can throw on the pile.

You're right...nothing to see here.

Not a single RW group turned down, zzzzzzzzz. Calm down, girls.

In fact, the ONLY group that WAS turned down was a LW group.

Chicken Little don't have NOTHING on the CON$.

lol

You know what's going to be amusing, Dottie? As the investigations go forward...and they will...it's going to slowly but surely come out that people in this White House knew about the IRS targeting conservatives...that they lied about the talking points over Benghazi...and that they trashed the First Amendment going after both the AP and some FOX News folks.

When that happens...you're going to be standing in front of a cattle "stampede" of ridicule for steadfastly defending the indefensible. Just letting you know NOW, what you're letting yourself in for LATER.
