Lindsey Graham: 'No Evidence' White House Directed IRS To Target Conservatives

I would say there is no direct link to Obama.

The IRS commissioner visited the White House 118 times during the period when the IRS was targeting conservatives and that is a definite link to someone in Der Fuhrer's circle of flunkies at the White House.

 

See, when you refer to the president as Der Fuhrer, your credibility goes down to "Moron Level".

 

With no evidence that the administration was involved in the IRS's choice of tax exempt applicants for excessive scrutiny, most of which occurred under Bushie Commissioner Shulman, the partisan vendetta has fizzled much like the CIA's tragic Benghazi operation fronted by a diplomatic mission that the rabid rascals blunderously attempted to pin on the then Secretary of State, a prospective presidential nominee.

These matters need to be investigated, possibly by independent commissions, but desperate, unfounded accusations sans evidence puts the horse's arse before the horse. Issa as high profile hit man is no way to take out a designated political target.

Instead, pursue the truth, and let the cow chips fall where they may. Just watch your step and you just might get lucky.

How does the jury decide?

"Guilty!, Your Hounor."

"Guilty of what?"

"Give us time! We'll think of something!"​

 

the media will do its best to not report on F and F, Benghazi, AP reporters, Fox News reporter and the IRS

It is not in the best interest of the Democrat Party to get to the truth. Also, I don't believe there is one person who voted for Obama who feels that he should be held accountable for anything his subordinates do. He was not elected to be the Chief Executive. Do you hold him accountable?

 

Only among clueless libs like yourself.

Using the government bureaucracy to harass your political opponents is a time-honored tactic of dictators including Hitler.

 

The question was how should the media report on a scandal where there isn't any evidence that indicates the scandal is real.
There is nothing linking the White House to the IRS scandal.
The right wing feels that everything that goes wrong should be reported as a failure of the Obama administration, since the media reported on the many failures of the Bush administration, the media should give equal time to Obama failures, and if they can't find real failures they should make them up, like the right wing noise machine does.

But at some point doesn't it dawn on you that you are being used?
I mean your were told that Fast nad Furious was going to bring down the Obama Administration, that he'd be impeached or forced to resign, and instead he got re-elected.
You were told that Benghazi was the end of the Obama Administration, that it was the scandal that would bring about the impeachment or resignation of Obama.
Instead, it's gone away, or haven't you noticed?
You were told that the IRS scandal was going to be the end of the Obama administration, and all the obedient sheep, have gotten outraged, and repeated a bunch of stuff that just isn't true, and when someone like Lindsay Graham says there's nothing that implicates the White House, you get outraged and call him a traitor.
And the IRS scandal will go away, it won't bring down the administration.
I'm just wondering when are you going to wise up?

 

You said Hitler, you lose.....
If you had a clue about history, you would have said "Nixon".
Nixon was the guy who sent the IRS a list of his enemies with instructions to audit them, and put them through hell.

 

501c4 requires that you spend some amount on charitable causes. As Jon Stewart says "show me the receipts." Obviously, the right wingers were not able to produce those receipts.

 

I'm glad someone made this thread. There has to be proof. Not propaganda.

 

Playing "The Media" card has become quite amusing.

Presumably, "The Media" includes:

FoxNews, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, William Krystol, Laura Ingraham, Mike Gallagher, Gordon Liddy, Michael Reagan, Ann Coulter, John Stossel, Star Parker, John Podhoretz, Roger Simon, Mike Adams, Wes Pruden, Doug Giles, David Harsanyi, Sean Trende, Brent Bozell, Cal Thomas, Daniel Flynn, Dick Morris, Rich Lowry, Ben Shapiro, Michael Barone, Jeff Jacoby, Chuck Norris, Robert Samuelson, Rachel Marsden, Charles Krauthammer, Jonah Goldberg, David Limbaugh, Dennis Prager, Michelle Malkin, Frank J. Fleming, Walter Williams, Byron York, Victor Davis Hanson, Thomas Sowell, Mark Steyn, George Will, David Swindle, Jack Kelly, Ross Douthat, John Fund, Mona Charen, Kathy Shaidle, Karl Rove, Katie Kieffer, Wes Pruden, Andrew McCarthy, Debra Saunders, Rachel Alexander, John Ransom, Larry Elder, Scott Rasmussen, Kevin Williamson, Derek Hunter, James Pethokoukis, The Weekly Standard, The National Review, The Wall Street Journal, and others - including the vast right-wing blogosphere.

A self-serving paranoia is conducive to an acutely restricted tunnel vision.

 

It says government can't prohibit the free exerciser as in delaying it or making so expensive you can't engage in it. It means you will get equal treatment under the law and not be discriminated against. It means the President shouldn't be engaged in a campaign to silence you.

 

The government doesn't engage in polling and I question numbers when they are subject to intrepretation as in the employment numbers. The numbers of applications and the approval rate is not subject to interpretations.

So I'm curious, do you still accept the spin the WH is trying to engage in with the phony claim about the increase in applications was the cause of it all?

 

Darrell Issa's recent behaviour reminds me of the late Sen. Joe McCarthy's tactics. This is his 15 minutes of fame which will no doubt fade rather fast in due time.

 

The actual choice of which ones, well Obama did publicly call for close scrutiney of a few but then there is no evidence the agents in the field did it on there own and plenty of evidence the direction came from Washington and plenty of evidence the head of the IRS was meeting with Obama and his political adviser when this started. Start connecting the dots and see where they lead you.

We have the evidence they occurred DUH, the IRS has even apologized for it and admitted the wrong doing. We know the whistleblowers are coming forward and telling investigators the instructions came from the top

And Holder and Schuleman and Obama remind me of Nixon and his hacks and their tactics. Their 15 minutes had just begun me thinks.

 

But there's no evidence that the President was doing such a thing.

 

Holder and Schuleman (whoever that is) are normally expected to fade. Obama, unless he pulls a GW Bush and dives underground, will always be in the public eye.

 

There is no "proof" that the White House did not direct this, but there is plenty of reasons to believe they did. There is lots of circumstantial evidence that they did. As far as finding the actual evidence, it's hard to get it because the White House is having it destroyed for obvious reasons. But it will come out, even if we do not find Lerner's emails, one rat will eventually turn on this criminal enterprise.

 

And, there is no evidence the other king, Henry II, ordered the men to kill Thomas a Beckett. Funny how that works.

 

For once, you're right. Presidents Obama, Clinton, and Carter will, contrary to tradition, continue to try and rule the country. I should have known the nitwits on the left would have seen President Bush leaving the pitifully incompetent Obama alone as a negative.

 

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday became the latest Republican to reject Darrell Issa's comments that White House press secretary Jay Carney is a "paid liar" in relation to the IRS controversy.

But Graham went further than his Republican colleagues, saying there's no evidence that the White House ordered the tax agency to target conservative groups.

 

Ah yes, liberal conspiracy narrative as truth. LOL
