    So, they've spent all this time trying to find a "progressive" that was targeted...and finally found one??? :smile: Hilarious. Wonder if they'll provide the details on that one.....let's see the letters of ridiculous questions sent to them. Let's see how long they waited....or even if they waited....to get approval. Reeks of some defensive desperation....but doesn't change anything.

    New IRS scandal just today: IRS credit cards used for baby clothes, personal items, and even porn.

    The IRS and Jay Carney. It was just two lone agents! Now it goes all the way up to the Washington office. I would say this is a lie.

    It doesn't go up to the Washington office. The two lone agents were responsible for making the lists which is what was frowned upon. No one cares that the IRS lawyers were reviewing these applications other than the nut job Internet community.

    Let look at the spend these groups were allowed their 501cs
    Why was the progressives given a fast track? How is that not political? A desk agent could grant it to them. Why is it easier for the progressive groups ?

    What's hilarious is not even being able to comprehend the document. It isn't a list of groups that were targeted. It is a list of keywords for employees to filter out of the 10s of thousands of applications and what to do with them.

    They admitted that was a mistake. I don't know why you are bringing up everything that we already know. Where is the conspiracy though? You guys have no link to any real conspiracy.

    You are such a short term thinker with extremely sensitive emotions, "I must protect my god Obama no matter what". These scandals are far from over, peeling the onion of the obfuscation from Obama is what causes the delays. Benghazi, Fast and Furious, IRS has been a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing nightmare to investigate from the biggest lie out of Obama's mouth, "I will have the most transparent administration in American history". What is more (*)(*)(*)(*)ed up is, you actually support his hide the weenie

    Libturds are liars to the core

    So it's was just a mistake? Lol not once but at least twice that we know of so far.lol. How many other groups were asked how many crimes have they committed and what crimes are they planning to commit? Please show me where this mistake was done to other groups. I will wait

    Apparently you didn't see or read any of the ridiculous questions ask of the conservatives on those letters that went out to them? Reminded me of the McCarthy era....

    All those have lead to nothing except normal Republicans realizing how crazy their party has become. Listen to Bob Dole's advice. Take the year off and gain a new strategy. Because these fabricated scandals just aren't working with the American people. The Republicans have become a disgrace to the world. I'd be embarrassed if I were you. But judging by your racism and lack of common sense, I highly doubt you would be.

    It's the IRS. They have forms that they send with very detailed question to people trying to avoid paying taxes.

    Not exactly... they planted a question about targeting tea party... and said they did.

    So... either there was a conspiracy to target TP, or there was a conspiracy to pretend there was to wag from something else.

    This information is not easy to find as the IRS does not disclose any information unless requested by the filer. You have absolutely no clue how many progressive groups were asked how many crimes they committed. You have a group of Tea Partiers who are very vocal about their process due to their extreme hatred of Government. Let me know when you have evidence that any of this was done for any other reason than figuring out if they were involved in politics.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Or they were just doing their job and handling the extremist Tea Party with extra care based on their extreme political views. No conspiracy necessary, just common sense.

    This is what to expect from an Obama-bot, please point to any racist remark that I have made? I find you (*)(*)(*)(*)ing offensive for even suggesting that.

    Here, read the truth, because you surely are blinded by your abject allegiance to Obama

    http://news.yahoo.com/why-irs-scandal-needs-special-prosecutor-092320748.html

    The White House and its allies declared the scandal over. Said David Axelrod, one of Obama's longest-serving advisers, said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show: "I think the implication that this was some sort of scheme is falling apart."
    Don't buy it. Like Issa and the GOP, Democrats are jumping to convenient conclusions based on incomplete evidence and no credible investigation.
    There is a hard truth that partisans won't admit: Until more is known, we can't implicate or exonerate anybody.

    No....they weren't forms. They were individual letters written to conservatives only that asked about their relationships, for copies of any speeches of anyone who appeared before their groups, names of the families of their Board members, if anyone in their group EVER plans to run for office, and on and on......

    The IRS could have just asked for a copy of the articles of incorporation from each group, cross-referenced them to the regulations governing each 501c organization class, and classified each organization as those that adhere to the limits on their political activity, and those that do not adhere to the limits on their political activity. Not that difficult to do.

    I would hope that every type of name was brought up at least once, I am sure someone is scamming the system in every bracket. There will always be some red flags.

    The problem here is targeting specifically, which is blatantly obvious and already admitted to.




    To everyone else.

    Don't feed the trolls.

    It was a anti-gay group, not a tea party group. And the suspicion is someone from their opposition posed as a member of the anti-gay group and received the documents illegally. But the full investigation is not complete. You act like they were releasing tons of highly visible donors list... lol.

    I'm not even a tea petty member but I'm not dumb enough not to see what's happening. Y'all extreme left socialist are trying to paint the tea party as hating government. Never has one of them said that. They are pro government like the constitution says. They love their country an their government enough to stand up for it will it has become corrupt. I dare you to say its not. They hate what the government has become, a overbearing NSA, NDAA , IRS ,Obama lying government. For you not to see that tells me your just not looking. Can't turn your head away from your poster of Obama long enough to see that. Do you want a country were the IRS is in charge of saying who is an extremist group? Do want to live were the IRS treats groups differently because of their voting habits, do you want to live in a country where you can be I prisoned without ever getting a trial. " " where your data is stored for for years can can be taken out of context and used against you? ". " where government kills innocent people and then comes on TV and lies about it and says no innocent deaths have happened. ". " where the president lies more often then he is telling the truth? ". " Wall Street gets a free pass to commit crimes and nothing is done. Were corporations like monsanto can make the FDA laws. Etc then if you answered no to any of these you might be a tea partier.

    No, it is you who are delusional. Your bull(*)(*)(*)(*) comment about Americans are done with the IRS scandal is a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing lie, the vast majority of Americans want a special prosecutor.
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...cans-want-special-prosecutor-for-irs-scandal/

    Seventy-six percent of voters want a special prosecutor, including 63 percent of Democrats, 88 percent of Republicans and 78 percent of independent voters.

    So keep posting, you make yourself look more foolish and ignorant than I ever could do to you. LOL! It ain't over little man
