    IRS Targets Conservatives

    Well, if the Benghazie scandal wasn't enough for Obama to deal with, he now has another red-hot issue with reports that the IRS has been targeting Tea Party and Conservative groups. Not good:

    "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean the IRS isn't out to get you. We only wish that were a joke. On Friday, an Internal Revenue Service official disclosed for the first time, and by way of apologizing, that the agency that wields the taxing power of the federal government had targeted conservative groups for special scrutiny during the 2012 election season. Apology or not, that can't be the end of the matter."

    Indeed, This Won't Be The End Of The Matter

    Especially due to Obama's remarks earlier that he would use the IRS to 'take care of' his enemies.

    I gave them your address.



    Boonme, I'm sure you are one of the biggest supporters of profiling. We'll guess what you and your cohorts fit the profile this time. Too bad.

    Besides going straight after the people most likely to commit a crime, the usual suspects, saves time and money which is good for the nation. Hey, look at it on the positive side Texas will get a few more jobs sent their way by the Fed.

    Predictable responses from the TDMA of course!

    What makes this scandal especially 'interesting' is Obama is blaming Dubya for it!

    We're also sure you proud members of the TDMA agree with this too?

    Obama's abuse of the IRS:

    This isn’t the first time.

    “How would an Obama administration official have access to records showing how much a particular company pays in taxes? Unless the administration has some good explanation, such access would be illegal. As it happens, the claim that Koch doesn’t pay taxes (much like the equally absurd assertion that Mitt Romney didn’t pay taxes) is false. But that doesn’t excuse the Obama administration for misrepresenting confidential tax information to smear a political enemy.”

    This scandal will only become bigger...

    Um...if y'all recall, this objective poster has not directly called out for the impeachment of Obama simply because his replacement is even more stupid & retarded.

    Instead, broadcast to all those low-information voters who put these buffoons in Big White - don't make the same mistake over & over.

    Are there Americans in the forum who voted Obama last time just because they were annoyed by Boon Mee's propaganda onslaught?

    No, but that statement is such hamfisted and lowbrow propaganda that it is hardly surprising the GOP has become a laughing stock.
    The allegation involves some employees in the Cincinatti offiice of the IRS, only. Impeach Obama!! (again).

    I have never understood why people allow their Governments to demand with menaces shit loads iof their hard earned cash at each and every opportunity and do nothing to change things
    You earn your money and they tax you on it. Fair enough but then you go and spend any of it and they tax you again, buy a house for your family and they tax you for it, save any money for a rainy day and they tax you yet again. When you finally die after a lifetime of being taxed they then want another 40% slice of your already taxed to the max money you are leaving to your family. If you take your taxed money and place it in a foreign country what gives the Government the right to demand a slice of it there ?
    And people simply accept this as the norm.
    These people work for you not the other way round people !
    Or that's the way it is supposed to work !
    Treat everyone as a complete and utter idiot and you can only ever be pleasantly surprised !

    You're the only one whose calling for Obama to be impeached.

    btw, what about that 'joke' of his earlier where he stated he'd be inclined to use the IRS as a tool against his political enemies? You see, it's not just some so-called 'low-level' employees but the whole enchalada all the way to POTUS. Also, what was so 'ham-fisted' about the revelation of this IRS Scandal?

    IRS people go after folk with loadsamoney.

    Really, I would have thought they'd go after people with no money and leave the rich alone.

    Oh hang on, that's the Republican model, innit.

Or maybe those people have the ghetto gene .. fuckum! It's survival of the fittest. Here's a solution: buy a gun! Like in a zombie video game, they surround your house and you blow them away. Kool!

    The suggestion, based on the usual premise of absolutely no evidence, that President Obama was directing the activities of some junior IRS employees in the Cincinatti office. The IRS has over 100,000 employees.

    Well, I'm sure you can connect the dots. Given his earlier 'joke' and subsequent revelation(s) it's not a difficult premise to assume.

    They don't want to be regulated. Oil spills shouldn't carry fines, hey, shit happens. Wars are a way of life, part of the natural order. Poor people are poor because they're lazy. Big business are job makers and deserve respect. Once I've made my fortune fuck the rest of you. Lovely people!

    I think so, but it is speculation. Several 'conservative' PAC's and other advocacy groups retain their tax free status due to a set of rules- one being that your lobbying/ advertising activities are allowed to endorse, or oppose, particular policies- but not particular candidates, or political parties. Several such big money groups appear to be in violation of this, and their tax free status may thus be jeopardised, not to mention being potentially subject to legal action.

    So I think this is what they call, in PR lingo, a diversionary tactic. Aka a red herring. Age old strategy- if legal action commences (and I've heard nothing at all on this recently), the aggrieved party will of course yell 'Witch Hunt!!' (impeach Obama!).

    But unfortunately- as I've pointed out to you repeatedly- when the GOP cries 'wolf', the public yawns. That is what happens when you cry wolf all the time.

    Historically so, but as the GOP has gone careered off the rails and become more lowbrow and populist (birthers, fox etc), so has it's Establishment grip been weakening.

    The term conservative has been bastardized and hijacked by some to further political agenda. That is, all Republicans are conservatives and Dems are liberals. Fact is Democratic party is full of "captains of industry". Successful businessmen who understand and support the need for social reform.

    Of course they are labeled as libbies, low information voters and Nazi's by the so called conservative right.

    Answer to your question is NO.

    If the GOP loses the next election (no doubt they will) they will slip into darkness for a generation .. unless they change. But they won't change. Isn't that a dominate feature of being a conservative, holding on to out-dated ideals till the grave?

    SO maybe the angle is the Tea Party agenda then. Don't they want to abolish income tax and the IRS? Maybe that that's the reason "if they don't want to pay their taxes, maybe they already aren't"
