While the controversy over the National Security Agency surveillance program has dominated the news recently, concern about the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations remains high and is inching up. Despite the large number of controversies engulfing official Washington, the number of people following the IRS scandal has actually increased in recent weeks.

You mean Boehner might not live up to the Hastert Rule like he promised to do just recently and end up going si se puede on scamnesty? Why I’m shocked, just shocked./
It's not incompetence -- Incompetence would have had a better success-rate, or more effort, this is complicity.
Beyond furious.
The other 30% are brain dead, low information types who are really busy following Kimmie and Kanye right now.
I’ve been pondering which of the most recent scandals outrages me the most, and I have decided that it is the IRS.
1) I’ve been mad about Benghazi for a long time, but the facts around it are still murky. I’m still angry, but there is no guarantee that it would have turned out any different if other decisions had been made.
2) The NSA clearly needs to track SOME phone and computer connections. Again, not enough is known yet about the extent of their surveillance. It makes me uneasy, but not irate. I figured they were watching and listening anyway.
3) The IRS is a different matter. This clearly was an overt and deliberate infringement upon our privacy and upon our religious freedoms, and so many other abuses that I cannot list them all. This was NOT accidental. This was NOT instigated by terrorists from another country. This was a deliberate attack upon our own citizens by our government and that is why it upsets me the most.
Keyword added.
Exactly.
It will be more than "support." Watch and see.
I was thinking the same thing.
This is sort of like Obama’s job disapproval numbers. A lot of people who disapprove, want Obama to be more liberal.
So, I don’t know if this is anything to hopeful about.
A lot of them say, Tea Party — good, they should be investigated by the IRS.
IRS may be the one that brings him down. Using the IRS like the gestapo police against political enemies is Hitler like and maybe the answer to what was described as his secret army

Which means 30% are Demonrat “OJ Jurors” who figure the Tea Party got what it deserved....
“The feds are actively attacking. Personal liberty.”
Right, that said, I just received my 28 pages of The American Community Survey, with an estimated time to complete of 40 minutes...
Wrong!
Though it did take my shredder a good 2 minutes to chew through their high quality paper! They will never get information from me voluntarily, they’ll just have to get it from the IRS and the NSA, since we now know they’ve got it all.
Or, I’ll take the Lois Lerner route and plead the 5th.
Though Ann Coulter is squishy in some ways, she is right about the GOP deserving to die if it passes this monstrosity of a bill.
Amnesty will kill the party anyway. Yeah, she’s right on this.
“Maybe there is some hope for America. Keyword being SOME.”
The keyword is visit your local IRS and contemplate whether these fat blobs sitting at their desks can fight you. Do you really think a 400 pound doughnut muncher is capable of beating you?
Buckwheat’s army is thousands of fat cowards and doughnut munchers who wouldn’t last five minutes on a battlefield. If you’re afraid of that, go find a hole and crawl in.
Forked toast they will be.
Yep
Alternate headline: 30% of surveyed Americans too stupid to breathe.
