Can you say “Holder’s DOJ Coverup of IRS bullying Conservatives?”

In related news, the just passed “omnibus bill” contains language that explicitly authorizes the IRS to deny tax-exempt status to “political” groups like the Tea Party under 501(c)(4) rules while simultaneously exempting “non-political” groups like unions under 501(c)(5) rules.

This part is 100% true, non-satire. This is a sad time for America.

““It is clear that the individuals involved were working under a ‘good faith’ assumption that their actions were in concert with the President’s wishes,” Bosserman said. “No civil servant should have to face criminal charges for faithfully carrying out government policy. To do otherwise would unleash a cascade of hesitancy and second-guessing throughout the ranks of the bureaucracy. Discipline would be undermined if each employee had to wonder whether what he was doing is legal instead of just following orders.””

There it is Ladies & Gentlemen: The Nuremberg Defense (I vas just following orderz!)

Another positive cited by Figueres was the huge death toll attributed to communist regimes. “Just consider the added contribution the 90 million people killed by communist massacres, purges, and slave labor camps would have made to global warming had they lived,” Figueres observed. “Only communist governments can be counted on to make these kinds of sacrifices for the greater good of the planet.”

Satire?

Maybe not so much.

Thanks John for another good-but-scary column.

Wow. So now the Nuremberg Defence is official government policy? Words fail. Do these people even read what they write?

I know you mark this as semi-satire, but it’s not. It’s hardcore reporting.

[Rocky]

What part of this is satire? It all sounds true to me.

[Tainan]
