![]() And the guy who masterminded it all was....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Shulman A Bush appointee! Good luck, Repugs. You're either going to have to prove that the White House directed this guy to do it, or they were able to get it done without his knowledge... Or more likely, it was a group of low-level political thugs with a bone to pick, and there is no WH connection whatsoever. |

![]() It's so cute how you guys like to pretend that the masterminding begins and ends in sub-cabinet level mid-management.
There's no way this level of stuff went on without cabinet officials (or even the President) knowing about it. |

![]() Boneheaded move by the IRS. There should be hearings on this.just remember righties that OTHER things can get done in congress. the problem with the GOP is that they will use this to distract from everything else and will not get a damn thing done.Also when conservatives and teabaggers cry and moan and b**** about taxes, perhaps they should be subject to a little more scrunity.

And two, at these levels of government, you survive and excel by doing what you're told. There's no way he didn't know. But since this is a career-ending level of allegation, he'll deny knowing anything until he has little other choice. |

That's what's going to come of this investigation, you watch. And then all of you will kick and scream about how this was a big coverup and those guys just took the fall for their hero Obama. |

When all the facts are known and it turns out that neither Clinton nor Obama were at fault for any of these things, do you think the Darrell Issas and Jeff Sessionses and Ted Cruzes and Rand Pauls and John Boehners of the world will apologize? No. Will the talking heads drop it? No. And finally, will any of you conservatives EVER admit there's no there there? No. Two years from now when the 2014 election comes up, every single one of you is going to post as if Obama or Clinton masterminded it all. |

Benghazi and this are of a different breed. Incompetence (or in the case of the IRS, likely maliciousness) at the highest levels, covered up by criminal (or near-criminal) lies told both to the American public and to those charged with investigating those accountable. Together you start to get a sense that this is a purely end-justifies-the-means administration in a very Nixonian sense, which is a real danger in a civil-liberties based society. At the very least you can no longer take a White House denial on any charge to mean much of anything. And that's something they can never earn back. |

![]() We sold guns to the cartels and some agents got murdered with them.....but nothing to see here. We gave away 100's of millions to companies of people who supported us and they all went bankrupt but it wasn't dirty at all trust us. We lied about Benghazzi but it was only some talking points no big deal. So we left out Al Queda did it and blamed it on a video. The IRS is crawling up the asses of conservative groups and we are all liberals but logically it was Bush's fault!

![]() Wow the IRS scandal is blowing up. Now its being reported by the Washington Post it went all the way the heads of the IRS in Washington DC. Also it now looks like the IRS in Orange County CA was doing the same thing.
What a bush league move by the IRS. The media smells blood in the water with all these scadals breaking off. It's going to be interesting to see it all play out. |

![]() We should overturn Citizens United and throw out the whole idea of these 501c4s. I don't blame the IRS for scrutinizing them. They need to scrutinize all of them. The whole idea is just more political slime and the selling of government.

![]() Is there any guarantee that the IRS would not deny someone health care to Americans based on their beliefs?
