Trust Anderson Cooper will still be doing shake-n-bake with the Cincinnati Hell House.

No Benghazi, no IRS persecution, no Gosnell, no AP phone taps...none of that.

CNN will probably build a Hell House torture sound stage complete with hanging chains and monkey bars for Anderson Cooper to swing on.

How many OTHER agencies are ‘targeting’ conservatives?.. EPA, DHS, SSA. Now if only the FBI would target Muslims. Oh wait.. That would never happen.

"Because it goes to the question of motive,"

The motive is to guarantee TYRANNY!! Scare enough of the sheeple and Obama rules for life.

The irony is that if the MSM had been doing its job as non vested journalists and not as thinly disguised Obama supporters, the Obama people may have properly thought that the Benghazi coverup and the IRS harassments was not such a good idea. They figured with the MSM in their pocket, they could do this nonsense and if found out a simple denial or apology would suffice. Pure hubris on the part of both the MSM and the Obama people.

Why is the media covering the IRS scandal?

I was shocked to see the large media finally for the first time report news.

My thoughts are that the media is trying to draw attention away from the Amnesty bill they are trying to sneak through Congress.

From the article:
scandal involving selective tax-law enforcement against Tea Party groups.

This was not tax-law enforcement, it was illegal. They were asking for information not required by law.

THIS JUST IN: House panel to formally question IRS commissioner Friday

Cong Issa's panel should find out what the Obomba WH and Holder's DOJ knew about abusing IRS power for illegal purposes. Congress MUST ask the right questions:

(1) The IRS has admitted profiling conservative groups for extra-IRS scrutiny----did the IRS ever leak tax info?

(2) Obama took control of the census when he took office in 2008---was census info ever used in conjunction w/ IRS data?

(3) Were there ever break- ins at the hdq of Tea Party, patriot groups , home-schoolers, Christian individual and groups, gun rights advocates, Romney hdq, Repub offices?

(4) Did the actions of a sitting US president using the power of the IRS like a 40's-era Gestapo invalidate the presidential election of 2012?

===========================================

Cong Issa needs to be prepared to use the following info:

http://nashvillecitypaper.com/content/city- news/secret-service-takes-alleged-stolen-romney-tax- records-sent- williamson-political-g

Secret Service takes alleged stolen Romney tax records sent to Williamson political groups --- Sept 5, 2012

=================================================

ACTION FREEPER ALERT: blast mail the above list/info to Congress, to print/broadcast media......do it now.

My Spidey-sense tells me that the dinosaur media is reporting on IRSgate because - while embarrassing - this scandal cannot conceivably be tied to either Obama or Hitlery. It speaks more to the corruption of government as a whole rather than personal corruption, and the IRS is an easy scapegoat because no one likes them.

The dinosaur media is ignoring Benghazigate because there are several events which increasingly point to direct personal involvement by both Obama and Hillary... and these events are not only legacy-wreckers, they may be prosecutable offenses as well.

In short, remember when one of the Articles of Impeachment against President Nixon was using the IRS to go after political enemies? Well, in this case the the IRS DID harass Obama's political enemies, and this may be the tip of the iceberg of the the widespread abuse by the IRS on behest of the Obama Administration.

"In terms of impact. Reading much of the coverage layperson would get sense premeditated attempt to effectively silence political opponents. I do think not as a justification but as an evaluation of any impact it is important to note that it would not appear their aims or fundraising were affected."

In other words, the thugs beat the crap out of the truck driver, but he defied them and delivered his cargo to the location. Therefore, since they didn't succeed in dissuading the truck driver, there was no harm, no foul.

Rush said IRS had to be cleansed in readiness for its key role in implementing and enforcing Obamanoncare; therefore, the Obamanation had to be critical of IRS’s targeting of conservatives and conservative organizations, even though he, 0bumble, approved.

Maybe I’m just being optimistic, but I have a feeling that the tide has turned today. Between Gosnell’s murder conviction and the media’s sudden discovery of abuses by this administration, I feel that there may still be a chance for our country to recover.

He's trying to minimize the scandal by suggesting that the abuse of IRS power was ineffective in achieving a political end....

A "tip of the iceberg" view of the viseral reaction in '10 to the outrage in '08. Imagine how even more decisive the wins would have been had the government not illegally trampled on the rights of its citizens.

The Democrats see everything through a political lens, because to them, being in power has everything to do with whether or not they prosper. They know damned well that in the real world of producing a product, they are worthless. To them, power is life.

This is the reason Democrats think Watergate was worse than Benghazi: the former was about political power. All Democrats care about is power; they don't give a damn about somebody's life by comparison. That is why they believe the Republican investigation is political, because they project their motives upon us. To them, that four American patriots died has nothing to do with it.

See tag line.

is the first thing she thought of that GOP will use this to raise money? That’s what the RATS would do with a situation like this, cuz they never let any situation go to waste without thinking of the next election. And to he’ll with the Americans who are suffering becuz of this.
