Derp?When the IRS scandal broke, democrats were shocked along with everyone else. Since then, they've circled the wagons. It's what you do when protecting Obama's criminality.When's Lois Lerner going to be arrested again?
The IRS scandal? Do you mean when the guy Bush appointed to head the IRS was in charge or back when Bush and the GOP used the IRS to attack the NAACP?
Republican George W. Bush, oversaw a great deal of IRS political harassment of left-leaning groups that criticized the administration. Progressive churches were targeted for their “political” sermons against the Iraq War while conservative pro-Bush churches were left alone under the same rules. Bush’s IRS also deliberately targeted Greenpeace, the NAACP, and other progressive NGOs.
During the Bush era, Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) was one of the very few Republicans to call for an investigation into the fishy auditing practices of the IRS (leaving Ron Paul aside as the obvious example, given his belief in abolishing the agency altogether). Only now that their own organizations have been targeted during the Obama era, it seems as though the rest of the conservative movement has come around to sensing the urgency about the easily-abusive practices of an ever-expansive agency.

When Republicans think that Obama did what they have been doing for years, it suddenly becomes a "crime".
