Did these same hard working, dedicated civil servants make the same foolish mistakes when they processed liberal groups?

Meanwhile, DHS keeps getting ready to fight a war......

... foolish mistakes ... trying to be efficient ...

B. S.

No mistakes were made, they were trying to be as inefficient as possible to harass political opponents.

They couldn’t have found a more greasy, slimey disgusting looking scapegoat for this. He reminds me of that character on MAD TV that had the same curly hair, an older fatter guy, but damned near looked the same.

My guess is that the Administration told him to get his ass up there before that committee and make them fume. In the end, they’ll get his ass, and it will likely stop there - just like Holder and Obama want.

There’s going to be an epidemic of people falling on their sword.

Zer0, aka Beezlebub, il Douche, pres. is so disengaged with the day to day running of the government that ‘plausible deniability ‘ will be easy.

'Mistakes' implies lack of intentionality.

The DemoRats were quite methodical in their intimidating bullying for over three years.

IOW, they were quite accomplished and competent at the communication compliance level in fulfilling what their superiors ordered them to do. Wasn't simply malfeasance and incompetence; it was criminally crafty.

The DemoRats continue to think America is stupid, and is making an appeal to its bleeding heart. Which is always what progressives do. They appeal to a worldview of sentimentalism and attempt to play upon others' emotions, always pitting somebody vs. somebody else.

"Foolish mistakes"

Yes, the perfect lefty excuse. Just a regular guy, trying to do his job, and BAM, you make a foolish mistake. It could happen to anyone. Even YOU!

Aw, that's OK. Don't feel bad! ANYONE can make a foolish mistake or two. Even such famous people as Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Hitler made foolish mistakes.

So if it WASN’T partisan, where are all of the groups called ILoveBarakObama, and Citizens for Peace and Justice that got scrutinized the same way?

And if there were, we’d be hearing about it 24/7.

“Why didn’t Nixon think of this?”

As Cong. Kelly (R-PA) was saying yesterday,

Same reason anyone being audited by the IRS doesn’t think of it - it doesn’t work.

Foolish mistake = treacherous assault

The acts were first degree election tampering

That must be a capital crime.

Indict try convict execute.......... now!

After the guilty are quickly gone, history can spend the next hundred years sorting it out

What people don't realize is that the IRS rigged the election of 2012 for Obama and the democrats/socialists in the Senate.
Nixon didn't sick the IRS on good Americans who merely wanted to participate in the election. Obama did.Nixon didn't order the IRS to rig the election for him. Obama did.

The IRS made many conservative groups disband so that they couldn't do get out the vote . The IRS stole the election. but the media wants to make it seem like it was just low level employees targeting a few conservative groups. no it was intimidating groups with the threat of perjury to make them disband, many of them in battleground states with the goal of rigging the election for Obama and many democrats/socialists congressmen.

The IRS also waited to approve tax exempt status for many groups until after the election. they couldn't function as they didn't want to pay taxes on donations

Impeach Obama

Obama’s IRS targeted conservative groups to throw the election to Obama and democrats . It wasn't just prejudice but a plan a goal to rig the election for Obama . Obama knew as that is coming out.It lied about that and to my mind Obama planned the IRS rigging the election , who benefited from the IRS targeting tea party groups especially in battle ground states during the election? Democrats see us , middle America ,as the enemy. democrats want to enslave us middle America, average conservatives like us who see a growing government and are worried. We are Americans. All we want to do is live our lives the way we want to and because we are for a smaller government then they demonize us

I hope the committee quickly lets it be known that now is the time to turn “state’s evidence”, because there will be prison for those that don’t.

That’s the neat thing about rats; they will turn on each other at the first indication of personal risk.

PSYOPS - introducing/programming the populace to the totalitarians who will enforce (FORCED) totalitariancare.

TREASON - “acting”/appointed/entrenched unaccountable bureaucrats (socialists) elevating to TOTALITARIAN tactics for the powers that be at their whim.

DISMANTLE the IRS.

TREASON - continuous, PRE-MEDITATED, AGENDA-DRIVEN, in-your-face, media-complicit, AGENCY-ABETTED, REPRESENTATIVE-DIRECTED, ongoing...

DEPOPULATE totalitarians from the body politic. DISMANTLE their system.

DISMANTLE totalitariancare. Plunder & Death.

Totalitariancare and the IRS go together like a murder scene and a suspect.

Aid, comfort, paychecks, bonuses, pensions, perks to domestic enemies never defined or envisioned by the founders.

How to Identify Legal Plunder

But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.

Then abolish this law without delay, for it is not only an evil itself, but also it is a fertile source for further evils because it invites reprisals. If such a law — which may be an isolated case — is not abolished immediately, it will spread, multiply, and develop into a system.

The Law Defends Plunder

But it does not always do this. Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame, danger, and scruple which their acts would otherwise involve. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons, and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim — when he defends himself — as a criminal. In short, there is a legal plunder...

This legal plunder may be only an isolated stain among the legislative measures of the people. If so, it is best to wipe it out with a minimum of speeches and denunciations — and in spite of the uproar of the vested interests.

Socialism Is Legal Plunder

—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Alter it.

MISTAKE?!!!!!

When we make a mistake we get a do-not-ignore letter from these gestapo agents!

Bad customer service!!!!!?
Bad customer service is when the checkout clerk at your local store doesn’t know the price of an item.

Why don’t the Tea Parties file Civil Rights law suits. In my mind there is a clear violation of civil rights. Civil Rights suits have a provision where the government pay for the costs.

This perfectly illustrates the absolute contempt these miserable bureaucrats have for the American taxpayer.

They truly think we are stupid.

As Bill Clinton said when his White House was caught with 408 personal FBI files: “It was just an innocent bureaucratic snafu.”
