    If it was just two corrupt Obama voters at the IRS then lets see them lose their job and their pension.

    But I think we both know the abuse of power goes much higher than that.

    BTW: Is Hitler responsible for the Holocaust?

    Yes, the fact they scrutinized many groups that were not just conservative means they were not biased. This whole thing comes down to a list they made. Other than that, they simply did their job with no political bias found.

    But unfortunately for you I'm generally on the correct side and the real world side of things. So maybe, you should start worrying why you don't think like me and the rest of the normal world.

    How can you say there was no political bias when the IRS ADMITTED TO IT AND APOLOGIZED?

    Oh gosh, Godwin would be proud. Lol. And you are incorrect in saying we both know the abuse of power goes much higher than that. But, you are not afraid of lying... it's one of those special Republican traits that they love to show off!

    Not necessarily. Time can just as easily obscure the truth as expose it - the former presumably being what you're hoping for.

    The political bias was in the list they created. That is all that this is about. Their actual job of scrutinizing tax exemption requests for social welfare groups participating in political activities was found not be biased in nature. Scrutinizing Tea Party tax exemptions is not illegal and not biased... making the list was biased because it only included common conservative phrases. All the information can be found here.

    I'm sure you won't read it since it doesn't tell you what you want to hear.

    If they don't lose their job and pension then we know for sure that Obama is covering something up.

    Oh yes! That is all they did... and because of that "list they made", two IRS top bosses were fired... I mean resigned, and another took the 5th Amendment Protection in front of the U.S. Congress.

    Hey... I have a bridge to sell. Real nice view too!

    So when the administration said "rogue" employees are responsible, what does that mean exactly then? A few "rogue" employees are the only ones doing their jobs correctly??? LMAO! Just stop already, you're becoming ridiculous.

    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.

    No, we don't know that for a fact at all. It's not even Obama's job to handle the investigation in whether they should be fired or not. All you do is make stuff up, it's embarrassing.

    They made a list that specifically targeted conservative groups. We know that the two "rogue agents" were not to blame. Their boss has taken the 5th. The head of the IRS, who was out the door anyway, "resigned", yet will stay on til the end of June or July. The story isn't over, much to your disappointment. The truth will come out, eventually.

    The "real world" is currently going to (*)(*)(*)(*). Maybe you should ask yourself why you are siding with populist failure and acting like that's something to be proud of.

    It's not a stupid question.

    Earlier you were sneering at Stossell for suggesting that Obama could be responsible for the abuse at the IRS even if he did not specifically order it.

    And that reminded me of Hitler and the Holocaust.

    If he had you and the other libs with their head in the sand defending him Hitler would have had to commit suicide.

    He would have gotten off scott free.

    Um, LMAO, they haven't been fired yet because they can't find any justification for doing so since they were just doing their job and they found no political bias to what they were doing. So who's being ridiculous?

    Read the report and stop embarrassing yourself.

    Fraud is a crime. It is the only power under which the IRS has authority to issue arrest... or simply harrassment based on prejudice of a crime. The IRS investigates crime. The police investigate crime. DHS investigates crime.


    They are absolutely related in that each is a legal entity charged with the prevention and prosecution of crime. They are each methods of governmental forced coersion to apply to the law. The IRS is actually special in this regard in that they are who sieze assets.

    If you're a pure Kool Aid type, there's a line through this that I call the 'Ray Delusion'.

    You need to assume only the best motives and action for Obama and his team.

    You then need to look at each new scandalous revelation in complete independence. No synergy allowed. Remember, Obama's motives are pure. Each new item is dismissed as hearsay, unproven, conspiracy theory, &c. It's easier if you want to believe. Trust me, Ray wants to believe.

    Lastly, you need to ignore the fact that there's a crapload of these medium probability items you've summarily dismissed. All together they ALL come out Ray's way with the frequency of Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak, a feat that is once in a 1000 years unlikely.

    Obama's done. It's just a matter of time before the right folks turn.

    You keep denying that Obama had anything to do with it but it seems that you don't want to hold anyone else responsible either.

    How are you going to prevent libs from abusing their power at the IRS in the future if you let them get off without punishment this time?

    F that biased IG report. It's worthless. It contradicts what the WH has already said. The WH said this DID happen and it was rogue employees, did they not? Why would the WH or the IRS for that matter admit to something they didn't do???? Yes, this is getting ridiculous.

    They are not related at all. Investigation peoples tax exemption "requests" is not investigating criminal behavior... it's investigating whether they qualify for tax exemption status or not. They are not related one bit. You are trying to equate real world criminal consequences and profiling to a simple tax exemption requests that either gets an "approved" or "disapproved" reply. No one goes to jail for filing a social welfare tax exemption request despite actually being a political party.

    You don't have to answer.

    Just taking the 5th as you have is our answer.

    Yes, F anything that doesn't coincide with your degenerate based theory. They said the list was created and it did happen as the IG said so itself. You are making an embarrassing argument as I have already provided you all the facts. There is no larger conspiracy here. It's all over a list that these employees created that is frowned upon, not necessarily illegal.

    IF solid evidence/proof is discovered that Obama either knew about this or was in any way responsible for this.......He should remove himself from office or be impeached.
