Our taxing authority, the IRS, has admitted to selecting conservative leaning groups -- specifically those with "tea party" or "patriot" in their names, and also groups that purport to advocate educating people about the US Constitution, and singling them out for special scrutiny of their tax exemption filings. This is something the IRS has admitted doing, although they have offered excuses, like "it was someone in the IRS Cincinnati office who took it upon himself/herself to do this..." and "lower level IRS officials did this in a clumsy, but good faith attempt to enforce the law, but no political bias was actually involved..."rEvolutionist wrote:What's going on?
This will be the death of Morgan's career, though. He was getting slammed by the right on the gun control stuff, and now he's taking up a position against the Obama Administration. The US left leaning wing will run him over. He'll be stuck in the middle of the road with tire tracks in both directions right over him.Piers Morgan Tears Into Obama’s ‘Crumbling’ Promises Of Transparency: America ‘At Its Worst’
Re: Obama IRS selectively investigates opposition exemption http://www.breitbart.com/system/wire/DA693HEO0(AP) IRS chief: Agency lacked sensitivity in screenings
WASHINGTON
The acting commissioner of the IRS says the agency was guilty of a "lack of sensitivity" in screenings of political groups seeking tax-exempt status.
Steven Miller said in an opinion piece in Tuesday's USA Today that there was _ in his words _ "a shortcut taken in our processes" for determining which groups needed special screening. He said the agency demonstrated "a lack of sensitivity to the implications of some of the decisions that were made."
Miller has emerged as a key figure in the controversy over the IRS' singling out of conservative political groups for extra scrutiny. President Barack Obama said Monday that if the agency intentionally targeted conservative groups, "that's outrageous and there's no place for it."
And yet, it was almost certainly the White House that pressured them into it.Coito ergo sum wrote:http://www.breitbart.com/system/wire/DA693HEO0(AP) IRS chief: Agency lacked sensitivity in screenings

Correct response from Obama.
Yes, I believe this might actually bring Obama down. The only problem with that is that then we get Biden. I'm not sure which is worse, Machiavellian and sinister plotting or complete and utter incompetence and stupidity. After all, Obama's got his finger on the button right now, but I don't think he's crazy or stupid enough to use it. Biden...Not so sure.Tyrannical wrote:I've heard that this may be Obama's "Nixon moment".
Nixon's downfall was in the coverup of illegal activity. If Obama knew or now knows the smart thing to do would be for him to prosecute those IRS agents responsible.
Rand Paul looks like he has Presidential aspirations, and he already was not a fan of the IRS. This could go on for years if not settled soon.
MLF Lullaby
By Tom Lerher
Sleep, baby, sleep, in peace may you slumber, No danger lurks, your sleep to encumber, We've got the missiles, peace to determine, And one of the fingers on the button will be german.
Why shouldn't they have nuclear warheads? England says no, but they are all soreheads. I say a bygone should be a bygone, Let's make peace the way we did in stanleyville and saigon. [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/mlf-lullaby- ... ehrer.html ]
Once all the germans were warlike and mean, But that couldn't happen again. We taught them a lesson in nineteen eighteen, And they've hardly bothered us since then.
So sleep well, my darling, the sandman can linger, We know our buddies won't give us the finger. Heil--hail--the wehrmacht, I mean the bundeswehr, Hail to our loyal ally! Mlf Will scare brezhnev, I hope he is half as scared as i.

In 2010, it also received a two-year contribution of $125,000 each year from the Open Society Foundations. In case you wonder where that money comes from, the OSF website is http://www.soros.org. It is a network of more than 30 international foundations, mostly funded by Soros, who has contributed more than $8 billion to those efforts.
