As a proud member if the Tea Party, I ask my fellow FReepers: Had enough yet?

The people that did this should be tracked down and, at minimum, loose their job. A civil trial might also be an idea.

Another atrocity that the Republicans will let the Democrats get away with.

This sounds like spiritual attack to me. Worsening the vulnerability is that under Obummer, gummit droids all feel free to fudge the truth, since even blatant lies get pussyfooted around. It’s going to get rottener before it gets better if it ever does get better.

What if Obama knew about the IRS targeting Tea Party members?

This story is really weird

Either Zero is desperately trying to divert attention away from Benghazi or the IRS story is so damning it needs to be vetted during Benghazi to avoid scrutiny.

He’d probably drink to it if he did.

No discipline? The regime protects its minions, for sure.

I watched the White House briefing conference this afternoon, and Kermie dodged any question on the president’s knowledge of this matter.

It is pretty likely that Obama knew about it, because it is basically a voter suppression scheme. Remember that the left blames others for things they do themselves, and they accused republicans of voter suppression due to voter id laws. Therefore, this was not dreamed up by a low level IRS employee in the basement, but someone connected to the campaign, trying to suppress conservative votes.

Liberals think they can kill your kids and an apology will suffice.

BTW, what is it with all the “apology” crap? Apologies from lying fascists count for nothing.
Leg irons. Nothing less will do.

I think it was intended as a distraction from Obama’s Benghazi mess and I’d like to know who told them to apologize.

Sorry but this is Government corruption at it worst. It is much worse than this instance shows. There is so much corruption within the government numbers that will eventually come out also. Just look at the Stock Market today and remember this time... Hopefully this is just a problem that shows up whenever Democrats become the controlling factor, otherwise, we DO have the most corrupt Government even compared to the other corrupt governments.

Actually, it is a problem with both parties - corruption just a slight bit less in the Republican party but it is expanding and will get worse. We have lost control of our destiny.

Stop blaming the administration, it isn’t their fault. We knew this was going to happen 5 years ago. Snakes are snakes.

Want to place blame? It goes squarely on the shoulders of the MSM. The day they stopped representing the people was the day our Republic died.

How do we take our country back?

You are exactly right. The reason the regime tells these stupid, easily detected lies is that they rely on their MSM wingman to cover for them. And they've been doing it. Right, Candy Crowley?

What is remarkable about this week is some cracks in the media seem to be appearing. Plus, there is the very intriguing possibility that the only way for the MSM to save Hillary's candidacy may be by placing Benghazi in the White House.

This was the lead story on the “CBS Evening News” tonight
(Friday night). The reporting of the story was actually well done. I was pleasantly surprised.

Was this really an apology? My BS meter shot into the red when I heard about this.

Why would they voluntarily come out with this?

Why bother?

Was it an apology, or was it a threat?

The Obama regime makes Nixon’s so-called “enemies list” look benign. I don’t remember Nixon using the IRS to target his enemies.
