    I gather that he's basing his speculation on Obama's actions which Kimberly Strassel and others have documented, so there's nothing blind about it. Keep grasping for straws, sport.

    Clearly, you deal in immature ad hominem sandbox antics, and there's nothing remotely intelligent about that.

    The IRS scandal didn't break 4 1/2 years ago, but don't let facts get in the way of your trolling.

    There's not very many common progressive groups out there. Like Women for Equality or Gays for Equality, blah blah blah. You guys have specific political groups that are very political in nature. Even with out the keywords list the IRS would have investigated the "patriots" and "tea party" to their full extent due to the nature of their extreme political nature.

    No, they have not. Obviously your decision making ability still hasn't caught on to reality yet since your characterization of Democrats are low information minority welfare non-producers, lol. Time to reflect at why you are having problems in life and always getting things incorrect... and stop blaming it on others.

    I believe in facts and objective reality

    Absolutely not, I come here to spread intelligence to the less fortunate conservatives out there.

    Oh you mean their theory that Obama didn't actually instruct anyone to do this but his rhetoric against the conservatives and the Tea Party advocated it? LMAO!!! Only a clown would actually take Stassel seriously. That's such a pathetic and desperate argument. Show me real facts and real evidence. Not some conjecture and obviously partisan opinions.

    Nah, I just stick to facts and logic and call out others who are not doing so and making a fool of themselves. Think of me as an educator on how to be normal.

    I wasn't referring to just the IRS scandal. Something you should have known, but I wouldn't expect you to have the best reading comprehension skills.

    The witch hunt instigated by Dick Durbin, Chuck Schumer, Max Baucus, Peter Welch and others is over. The investigation has just begun.

    I'm looking forward to finding out what Lois Lerner is hiding....

    So if the administration began targeting blacks, because it is perceived that they commit the most crime... or started targeting Muslims... because they produce the most terrorists... that would be cool.

    This is just profiling... unfortunately it is profiling a legitimate political party by the administration in power.

    Tell me which ones you are cool with... just so we know.

    Obamabots really, really, really want everyone to forget that Obama's IRS went through a convoluted, planted question process to [line through] get out in front of [/line through]....try apologizing for targeting specific groups for scrutiny.

    (anyone know how to "strike through" text on this forum)?

    You're a bit behind the 8-ball, as usual. The IRS already admitted to unfairly targetting conservative groups. They're not trying to spin this like you disingenuously are. Why not take a cue from your "outraged" and "angry" President over this?

    My life is fine, thanks, unlike the majority of low information minority welfare legions who make up a larger part of the Democrat Party every year.

    If they created a rule that said gangs were not allowed to get social welfare status and they started targeting words like "Bloods" or "Crypts", that would be very cool. You are confusing your argument. Their job is to target these political groups, they simply just created a list with common words. Just your comparisons here means you are not even in the realm of objectivity.

    The IRS' job is to catch people trying to game the system. They profile all sorts of people, rich people, celebrities, political groups, etc. That is their job.

    I'm not cool with anyone trying to get tax exemptions that aren't allowed

    The public trust is burning at the stake whether the Republicans fan the flames or not. Do they actually collect taxes at the IRS to pay off the national debt or not, or does the money just go to line somebody's pockets as a favor for destroying their political rivals?

    To determine if organizations other than those specifically identified in the inappropriate criteria
    were processed by the team of specialists, we reviewed the names on all applications identified
    as potential political cases.
    identified for processing by the team of specialists included Tea Party, Patriots, or 9/12 in their
    names, while the remainder did not. According to the Director, Rulings and Agreements, the
    fact that the team of specialists worked applications that did not involve the Tea Party, Patriots,
    or 9/12 groups demonstrated that the IRS was not politically biased in its identification of
    applications for processing by the team of specialists.

    Apparently you are behind the 8-ball. The IRS admitted to unfairly targeting conservative groups in a list of keywords they made. Which is why the head of the IRS resigned and people were investigated. What you guys are trying to prove is it was done from the top for political reasons. Which there is no evidence of and confirmed by the IG Report. Facts are rarely on your side. Can't wait for your opinion based response, lol.

    Obviously your life is not fine. Something is just not clicking in your head to understand why your thought process is so skewed.

    The IRS was weaponized by the Democrats to attack their political rivals.


    Tyranny: oppressive power exerted by government

    The disgusting and filthiest part is that we actually have "Progressives" here that support these acts and support tyranny because it furthers their goal of Federal Authoritarian Government rule.

    I have a question for you.

    Even though there is no document with his name on it for evidence, do you believe that Hitler was responsible for the Holocaust?

    You think "blood" or "cryp" are some sort of official title on tax returns?

    I asked, if BLACKS were perceived to commit more CRIME, would you be OK with the administration targeting blacks for criminal offense?

    You did not answer that. You instead seem to suggest MOST black crime is committed by bloods or cryps who are black. I would argue that summary.

    Why the desperate laughter, sport? Clearly, Obama advocated investigating his political opponents, members of his party (ex., Durbin, Schumer, Baucus & Welch) demanded that his opponents be investigated, and the IRS dutifully complied. It's all a matter of record.

    Only a clown would take you and your trolling seriously. Unlike yourself, Kim Strassel writes for one of the most respected newspapers in this country.

    Nah, you stick to immature ad hominem sandbox antics. I think of you as a troll who isn't adding anything of intellectual substance and value to this discussion.

    The person you responded to was referring to the IRS scandal. Clearly, you're the one who needs to work on their reading comprehension skills.

    Because I'm trying to apply your question to make it analogous with what happened in this IRS event. So there is no reason to answer your question, for it has nothing to do with the given situation. Crime has nothing to do with tax exemption requests.

    So they generated a list of keywords that specificially targeted conservative groups (no progressive groups), but because they worked on other cases that did not include those key words, they were not biased? That doesn't make sense. The head of the IRS "resigned", even though he was out the door in a few months anyway. Lois Lerner pleads the 5th because she did not want to incriminate herself. We have yet to find out why there were hundreds of IRS-Obama visits in the White House during the time period. The "Easter Egg Hunt" answer isn't going to cut it.

    Sure it is.

    I'm glad my thought process seems skewed to someone like you. If it made perfect sense to someone like you, I would worry.

    you give him too much credit. Please show me one instance where Obama has shown himself to possess wisdom or common sense? I'm serious about that.

    Axelrod did a great job of insulating Obama and running things. Now poor Valerie does it alone as Soros whispers into her ear

    You are really acting childish.

    There may be no smoking gun that leads directly to Obama.

    But clearly this is not the work of a pair of low-level rogue Obama voters in Cincinnati either.

    But if it is let's fire the employees and take away their pension.

    And I predict that you won't like that idea because you know that if they get off with just a slap on the wrist they will remain silent.


    But if they suffer real pain for what they did they will finger someone higher up and closer to Obama.

    And I was referring to the numerous attempts by the Republican party in their various scandals over the past 4 and a half years always talking about the ONE to come out to admit Obama is this crazy corrupt President set on destroying the country. You guys are wrong every single time. You will be wrong this time as already proven. It's just become a running joke. But, I'm sure nothing will change your skewed thought process.

    Daddy's check arrives on the 1st of the month. There's a bit of an adrenaline rush for a few days, I've noticed.

    It's proven that it was the work of two low-level employees. They created a list of keywords to sort through thousands of tax exemption requests. No one suffers real pain for not getting social welfare tax exemptions, lol. You are beyond crazy.
