    "It's not lying if you believe it"

    Or, as Barack Obama himself put it (for real), "You know, I actually believe my own bullshit."

    You genuinely believe your own bull shit, troll-boy?

    Probably waiting for those Teabagger sites to give him his next instructions on what feeble arguments to post.

    What bullshit, Booners? You only post shit from your mentors, and it takes about 30 seconds to refute it because it's so badly written and mostly lies.

    The IRS Scandal, Day 31
    And just a gentle reminder for those with poor memories:

    Obama joked about auditing his enemies in 2009.

    And we're sure it was just 'joking', right?

    Why GOP Scandal Mongers Can’t Have Nice Things

    As Bill Clinton and John Edwards and Bill Jefferson and various others have made clear, Democrats do have scandals. Plenty of them actually. But here we have another good example of why Republicans so often have bad luck these days with bogus scandals they’re so hyped up about or ones that actually are legitimate scandals but which get overrun by so much hysterical nonsense that the actual scandal gets forgotten amidst a lava-like deluge of The Crazy. In a few words, most of the right-wing press is just astonishingly bad.
    Here’s today’s example. Yesterday I heard word on Twitter that ex-IRS Chief Douglas Shulman had visited the White House a whopping 157 times. The story started at The Daily Caller. It’s not totally clear whether that was whopping or sub-whopping. But whatever. Clearly Shulman was there often enough to be in regular contact with President Obama about cracking down on the West Memphis Tea Party. When I first saw my usual twitter trolls yapping about it, the first thing that seemed a bit off was that, remember, Shulman was actually appointed by George W. Bush and remained in office through most of President Obama’s first term. So presumably he’s not a really strong Democratic partisan.
    But now a real reporter (in this case my old friend Garance Franke-Ruta) has looked past the toplines of the White House visitor logs and done frankly just the very basic due diligence that any reporter would do when reporting out a story like this. There are a few problems with the story. First, why on Earth would Shulman need to visit the White House 157 times except to crack down on the Tea Party and other American Patriots? Well, it turns out there’s this thing conservatives have never heard of called OBAMACARE, which actually relies a fair amount on the IRS for implementation.
    Take it away Garance …
    The public meeting schedules available for review to any media outlet show that very thing: Shulman was cleared primarily to meet with administration staffers involved in implementation of the health-care reform bill. He was cleared 40 times to meet with Obama’s director of the Office of Health Reform, and a further 80 times for the biweekly health reform deputies meetings and others set up by aides involved with the health-care law implementation efforts. That’s 76 percent of his planned White House visits just there, before you even add in all the meetings with Office of Management and Budget personnel also involved in health reform.
    But it gets better. Those 157 visits? Those are times he was ‘cleared’ to visit the White House. The logs only show he actually showed up 11 times. It’s quite possible that the records missed a couple visits. But it seems likely that the story - which originated at The Daily Caller - was off by about ten fold.


    Now, this isn’t an indictment of conservative journalists. There are so many great ones like Byron York or my friend Eli Lake. But as a group, the standards of most institutional right wing journalism are just so appallingly bad that their stories simply aren’t credible. (I’d note that Lake works at either nonpartisan or slightly-progressive leaning pub.) Of course there are exceptions like the Menendez phony escort story. Which, wait, that ended up being a hoax enabled by appalling shoddy reporting standards. Again, if you wonder why conservative scandal mongers can’t have nice things … look at the conservative media.



    Also, try finding real scandals.

    ‘Extreme and reckless’: Rep. Issa blasts Rep. Cummings’ assertion that IRS scandal is ‘solved

    House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is not going to let comments made by Ranking Member Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) go unchallenged. Cummings told CNN’s “State of the Union” that we know everything we need to know regarding the IRS’ targeting of conservatives.

    Odd that the Rethuglicans choose Issa of all people, to spearhead their scandal-mongering.

    Issa’s unfounded accusations have caused several journalists to begin digging into his checkered past. It’s not pretty.

    Oops!

    A U.S. Internal Revenue Service manager, who described himself as a conservative Republican, told congressional investigators that he and a local colleague decided to give conservative groups the extra scrutiny that has prompted weeks of political controversy. In an official interview transcript released on Sunday by Democratic Representative Elijah Cummings, the manager said he and an underling set aside "Tea Party" and "patriot" groups that had applied for tax-exempt status because the organizations appeared to pose a new precedent that could affect future IRS filings.

    IRS Is Buying Surveillance Equipment

    "The IRS, currently in the midst of scandals involving the targeting of conservative groups and lavish taxpayer-funded conferences, is ordering surveillance equipment that includes hidden cameras in coffee trays, plants and clock radios.

    The IRS wants to secure the surveillance equipment quickly – it posted a solicitation on June 6 and is looking to close the deal by Monday, June 10. The agency already has a company lined up for the order but is not commenting on the details.

    “The Internal Revenue Service intends to award a Purchase Order to an undisclosed Corporation,” reads the solicitation.

    “The following descriptions are vague due to the use and nature of the items,” it says.

    “If you feel that you can provide the following equipment, please respond to this email no later than 4 days after the solicitation date,” the IRS said.
    Among the items the agency will purchase are four “Covert Coffee tray(s) with Camera concealment,” and four “Remote surveillance system(s)” with “Built-in DVD Burner and 2 Internal HDDs, cameras."

    Must Be For The Covert Operations Division?

    It's like Issa spends a lot of time with his fingers in his ears and muttering "la la la, I can't hear you" during testimony.

    I imagine he does it so hard he gets his fingers to touch.

    Heh...check it out. It is now reveled that the IRS was caught on tape telling Conservative Groups to keep their beliefs to themselves.

    No profiling here, boys. Move along now, nothing to see.

    The IRS told a conservative group legally applying for tax-exempt status to keep your beliefs to yourself.

    “You cannot force your religion or beliefs on somebody else’
    The conversation was caught on tape.

    The conservative group had to wait two and a half years for their tax-exempt status.

    You posted that and then followed up with a link to the fucking Alliance Defending Freedom site???!?!?!? Did you manage to keep a straight face when hitting the Post Quick Reply button? Their entire reason for existing is to force their beliefs and religion onto others.

    From their site:
    Alliance Defending Freedom is a servant ministry building an alliance to keep the door open for the spread of the Gospel by transforming the legal system and advocating for religious liberty, the sanctity of life, and marriage and family.

    Recognizing the need for a strong, coordinated legal defense against growing attacks on religious freedom, more than 30 prominent Christian leaders launched Alliance Defending Freedom in 1994. Over the past 18 years, this unique legal ministry has brought together thousands of Christian attorneys and like-minded organizations that work tirelessly to advocate for the right of people to freely live out their faith in America and around the world.

    Rubbish.

    Every time a bit of information comes out that doesn't fit your agenda (carrying Obama's water) it's discounted.

    Have Conservative groups been discriminated against w/regard to the IRS or not?
