The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) admitted on May 10 that “low level” staff in its Cincinnati office, supposedly “not motivated by political bias,” targeted 75 conservative tax-exempt organizations, including many Tea Party organizations applying for exemption under Section 501(c)4 of the tax code. The groups were singled out for audit and investigation because they used the names “Tea Party” and “Patriot.” Yet in July 2011, the IRS had warned employees to drop audits of donors to similar 501(c)4 organizations.

Yeah, sure, right.
Some low level government drone will be thrown under the Obama Bus,publicly but will quietly be given another government agency job and nothing further will come of this.
I believe you are right.
I find it rather difficult to believe that any middle managers in the Federal Government are capable of running businesses, and as for college degrees, wouldn’t those be required as baseline?
Over half of the irs is affirmative action employees. The irs is a great big welfare program masquerading as a government agency.

I hope somebody follows the form used to question the organization. In the Government all forms used must go through an approval process. It is given a number. Did these forms have that number? If so, than a reviewer would have to have approved it and that reviewer would be at a high level. Regardless, who created the form? That might give some input into the whole who dunnit!
Good pick !
Conservatives are seen as threats to most government workers. It has been a long indoctrination process and it is nearing completion with the enthusiastic support of media and grant seekers.
Somebody needs to get these “low level” employee’s before a Special Prosecutor with pending charges of “abuse of Government power”. I think they will admit who put them up to this.
They were targeted for using the term “Patriot”? I know quite a few members of the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) and they use that title for one another.
I hope the pResident did not order them targeted too.
“Low life” obama... “low level” was a mis-speak.
LLS
If we take the low level at face value, then this to me is even more scary that a high level conspiracy. This means that the IRS is full of fascist Brown Shirts that will do the left’s bidding without being told to....
Civil Rights Violation.
First Amendment suppression.
Yup. This SHOULD be big.
Will Holder prosecute the IRS?
(Sorry, we know the answer on that one...)
The 75 organizations ought to individually sue the IRS and Holder (if he fails to prosecute.)
The low level IRS employees did this....anyone believe that??
Their union was pushing, raising funds, campaigning for 0bama in 2008 and 2012. It may not have been an agency order, but a malicious union. Everybody is going to look at the agency...and the union thugs will walk.
Who is Colleen M. Kelley and how powerful of a union leader is she?
Who is John Galt?
No, he will not prosecute the IRS.
The IRS will be found “innocent.”
Going after the IRS is barking up the wrong tree.
The very FACT that it targets "Republicans Only"....spells OBAMA and his minions.

“Terminate” as in job or the real termination? I would be happy with the latter, myself.
