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.

I’ve wondered about that myself.

FWIW, I found myself the subject of an audit after giving money to certain pro-Israel causes last year. They were VERY interested in those donations and demanded things over-and-above what they were allowed by law.

I finally filed a suit in tax court to make them go away.

Mr. Connors better beware: With the AP scandal (AP-Gate?), it sure looks like someone in the White Hut watched The Bourne Ultimatum and thought it a good idea to track reporters.

Mr. Connors, do not go anywhere near Waterloo Station in London!

Anyone who has a nose for truth has known this was going on for many years, I wouldn’t try to guess just how far back but probably at least back to the sixties. It is just now being exposed to the light. I really cannot imagine how any adult over thirty could be surprised.

The wife of a Dem bigshot relative warned my wife about my anti-Obama t-shirt designs. She told my wife, “he better be careful.” “Why?” “He just better be careful. He could get in trouble.”

No trouble... Yet.

Um... no. I've followed the issue pretty closely.

I don't believe stuff just because I like the implications. It needs to actually have good evidence to support it.

Even more dangerous times for America ahead, to put mildly. It appears as though the IRS, the AP stories and Bengazi have have attracted the “politburo’s” attention.

The Right has been reporting this for sometime and perhaps they’ll now have vindication, but it depends on the sleeping masses being awakened to the new reality. If the phony Obama had an (R) after his name things would be going balistic and by this time W, for example, would be headed to Crawford for his exile.

If there are rogue elements of the Civil Service now routinely take this type of initiative any time they don’t like someone.... it’s bedtime for Democracy.

The terms , ‘limited government’, ‘live within our means’, and ‘debt reduction’ strike fear into the hearts of government workers at IRS and throughout the central socialist government much like waving a cross in front of a vampire.

yes. Funny how I didn’t hear about it during the Bush years. There is an article now about few cases, but they don’t seem egregious to me- cases of active campaigning in a church or two that was looked at. What happened under Obama is as blatantly corrupt as it can be. Clinton did it too.
