Bette Midler: ‘I love the IRS’
The Daily Caller ^ | May 14, 2013 | Patrick Howley, Investigative Reporter

“Hunchback of Notre Dame” star Bette Midler declared that she loves the Internal Revenue Service for targeting the tax-exempt status of conservative groups.

“I LOVE THE IRS!!! HOW CAN A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION BE CALLED A NON-PROFIT THAT PROMOTES GENERAL WELFARE??,” Midler tweeted in all caps Monday.

The IRS apologized Friday for improperly giving extra scrutiny to the tax-exempt status of conservative nonprofit groups — a confession White House press secretary Jay Carney said President Barack Obama would find “outrageous” if confirmed by an independent report.

Midler, an Obama supporter who has previously tweeted that “Obama inherited this [economic] mess, he didn’t start it,” subsequently made a bizarre statement regarding the IRS scandal that seemed to undercut her partisan argument.

“But when is the IRS going to investigate GE and all the other corporations who get away with paying ZERO taxes???,” Midler tweeted Tuesday....

I believe dumb people make better actors. They are so empty, that it is easy to pretend to be someone else. There is no there there. (Hmm, where have we heard that recently?)

When did women start playing Quasimodo? Not that I think she doesn't fit the part.

Bette Midler @BetteMidler
Taxes due tomorrow. I’d feel better paying them if Congress would take real action on gun control and climate change.

the very heart, the essence of the liberal mind is total control....

remember the days when the college kids just wanted "free speech" and "free press" and wanted to be able to say or write whatever crap they wanted?....

remember how horrible we are told about Joe McCarthy?...how he was borked before Bork was even around?....

what they actually want is to imprison anyone and everyone who disagrees with them....

Che...just kill anybody that doesn't agree with you...

I don’t know his politics, but Gary Oldman is one of my fave character actors. He has been fantastic in every role I’ve seen.

How you could compare a one-trick-pony like Midler with him...

I also wonder if Midler’s comment isn’t HEAVY sarcasm. Nobody could be that ignorant could they?

Maybe she should use the next refund of THEIR money the IRS generously sends her for a nose job. Her nose must be wearing out after being up Obama’s ash for so long. This witch is a typical liberal psychopath; a scumbag!

I applaud her.

Most leftwingers try to maintain the fiction that they are loving, caring souls, rather than jackbooted fascists at heart.

She just comes right out and basks in her totalitarian glory, like Mussolini, only uglier.
