Reporter Claims IRS Harassment After Tough Obama Interview
RedState ^ | May 14, 2013 | Dana Loesch

Posted on 05/14/2013 9:04:54 AM PDT by maggief

St. Louis Reporter Larry Conners revealed via Facebook yesterday that he has been “hammered” by the IRS since his much-discussed interview with President Obama. Conners, a veteran reporter, asked tough, but fair question during the interview which was slammed by progressives in media. Conners says:

Shortly after I did my April 2012 interview with President Obama, my wife, friends and some viewers suggested that I might need to watch out for the IRS. I don’t accept “conspiracy theories”, but I do know that almost immediately after the interview, the IRS started hammering me. At the time, I dismissed the “co-incidence”, but now, I have concerns … after revelations about the IRS targeting various groups and their members.

Yes, I remember the “Clinton Body Count”, and “Arkancides”, suicides with more than one bullet hole in the skull.

However, as evil as the Klintoons and their enablers are, they are not stupid enough to go after the very newsies that gave them cover, even when the newsies had to play journalist once in a while.

Putin has nothing on Obama. That’s what this reminds me of...intimidation of the press.

Right after we tar and feather the sons-of-bitches!

The naivete of liberals knows no bounds. They applaud the administration for attacking the second amendment, violating the appointment clause, arbitrarily refusing to enforce the immigration laws, refusing to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, and numerous other acts contrary to law, yet profess amazement when their first amendment rights are violated.

When it is accepted that a president is elected to rule rather than to govern, you go from a nation of laws to a nation of men. The direction is set at the top, not by low level functionaries.

The income tax amendment was ratified in 1913. Since then there have been eight Democrats in the White House--Wilson, FDR, Truman, JFK, LBJ, Carter, Clinton, and Obama. We know Clinton and Obama used the IRS against their opponents. I've heard that FDR did (and it sounds believable). Were there any Democrats who did not use the IRS as a political weapon?

Of course it's only criminal when a Republican does it.

The Democratic politicians are put in the position that they have to pretend to be outraged, but are they really? I suspect most Democrats don't see anything wrong with this, as long as the victims are Republicans or conservatives. I heard a Democrat caller on C-SPAN last Saturday say exactly that--that it was fine for the IRS to go after the Tea Party because they deserved it.

The IRS is totally compromised.

ANY opponent of the Administration being audited needs to slam the Auditors with document requests as deep and wide as necessary. The IRS is a proved rogue political attack dog of the 0bambi Administration.

Take them down.

I never believed in conspiracies, either, until I started researching Barak H. Obama II’s background and posting my findings here on FR back in 2008.

The next 10 months my computer was hacked four times. You can only have your hard drive wiped so many times before you understand that this regime is criminal.

Hey I have some links to some cool tools:

Install Virtual Box: https://www.virtualbox.org/

Then load a linux distro (ubuntu is easy) in the virtual box and only surf sites from there. That way you can backup the virtual machine and if it gets hacked you can “re-load” in only a few minutes while keeping your main system safe.

This stuff happened during Clinton as well, and NOTHING CAME OF IT

Clinton was riding high and claiming all credit for THE GREATEST ECONOMY EVER IN THE ENTIRETY OF HUMAN HISTORY.

Obama's economy is shiite. No Teflon shields here.

Conners had asked questions such as:

“The economy is a big concern for folks, I mean the unemployment, trying to make ends meet, gas prices, food prices going up. Some of our viewers are complaining that they get frustrated and angered when they see the first family jetting around different vacations and so forth …

I think his melanin shield is tougher than Clinton’s Teflon.

“Putin has nothing on Obama”

Vladimir Vladimirovich is a former KGB colonel and undisputed master of the Russian Federation. We don’t know how many critics of his regime have disappeared. We do know that a number of Russian news reporters have been murdered for speaking out. When the Chechens sowed bloody murder at Beslan, Putin responded a hundredfold in Groznii.

Obama is a sniveling five year old in comparison. If he thinks himself a dictator and has expressed that wish more than once, he is the rankest of amateurs. Putin has the Russian Army & national police to back him up; Obama HAD the mainstream media but he is about to lose that through sheer stupidity.

As for the levers of state power in this country, this is America and not Russia, and if Obama thinks he is riding a conqueror’s horse, he is about to come a cropper in front of an audience of millions.

As for Putin, he is a lot of things but laughable? Never.
