If you were getting ready to board an aircraft and found out Lois Lerner would also be a passenger, would you still get on?

E-mails Suggest Collusion Between FEC, IRS to Target Conservative Groups,

EPA? Notice they're coming down hard on energy-producing states populated mostly by conservatives? Same with the FDA and farm country.

There has been a concerted effort to crush political opposition on the part of the progs for some time now.....and they guys that are supposed to represent US have remained mostly silent on the subject.

Anyone want to put any money on whether or not the GOPe will manage to grow a pair THIS time, or if they'll continue to cower in the corner while the foundation of the country...the productive People... are undermined?

This is big.

---

All of the IRS revelations have been big. We have known for months. Yet the beltway GOP has steadfastly refused to engage the Obama Admin/White House on the IRS issue.

Nothing will happen with Boehner’s stooge Dave Camp running the “investigation”. Sorry. Boehner doesn’t intend to do anything about it except flap his gums until Nov 2014.

[SE Mom]

Yeah. .on second thought it is big but it won’t matter in Washington.

Cynicism seems justified in this era.

[LALALAW]

Where are the Republicans?? Opposition???? This S%^# is criminal. If this were Ronald Reagan, Nancy Pelosi and her ilk would be braying and bleating (righteously) that there may be “impeachable offenses” and the President must “come clean immediately.” It would be nonstop, relentless and echoed over and over by the propagandists (er press).

“Lerner should be in jail right now”

And Obama should be facing impeachment. Don’t forget,
the republicans were in on it by keeping their mouth
shut about it. They wanted Romney. There are republicans
who have just as much to fear from the TEA Party as
the tards.

[Alas Babylon!]

I have said this many a time, but we need our own press.

And I’m not talking about Fair and Balanced Fox News.

I want a blatantly partisan conservative TV news network!

Lois Lerner at the FEC
Before her IRS tenure, Lerner subjected conservative groups to heightened scrutiny.

“why aren’t the conservative media Rush, Levin, Savage , here,Palin, Hannity, Fox , drudge etc shouting this from the rooftops?”

Maybe they have been compromised. There’s been a few
mystery deaths lately. Maybe they fear for their lives.
Maybe that’s why all these scandals are breaking in
foreign media.

[drypowder]

If this shakes out, it is the largest corruption instance in the history of our nation. There’s nothing even remotely close.

not even a sitting president who does not legally qualify to hold the office and all in DC know it and yet do all they can to avoid the issue??

Only if I were first in line to beat the living hell out of her.

[SE Mom]

Why they aren’t screaming from rooftops may possibly be found by reading the comments section in reply to this piece at The Corner. It may actually be legal ..

Aside from some typical partisan bickering there’s some legal points made that are over my head but may possibly be legit.

Will leave it to smarter brains than mine ..watch and wait.

[tacticalogic]

She’s getting to be a liability. I’d have serious doubts about that aircraft arriving at it’s intended destination.

“steadfastly refused to engage the Obama Admin/White House on the IRS issue”

Maybe they are getting something out of it. Maybe they see it as getting the GOPe enemies whacked and all they need to do is nothing to make it happen.

Or they benefit in some other way.

Whoever higher-up than Lerner should also be in jail right now. Valerie Jarrett, one of President Obama’s leading senior advisers, is a prime suspect in all this....

BACKSTORY: Lois Lerner Sued Christian Coalition In Largest FEC Action in History – Then Was Promoted
Gateway Pundit | 5/22/13 / FR Posted by hope

At the direction of Lois Lerner, the Federal Election Commission sued the Christian Coalition in the 1990s. She harassed the Christian Coalition for three election cycles. She lost her case. Lerner even asked one conservative during the case if Pat Robertson prayed over him. (Sound familiar?)

These actions landed her at the IRS where she used the same tactics against conservatives and Christians – only on a much larger scale. 500 conservative and Christian groups were illegally targeted by the Obama IRS during her tenure. For twenty-seven months the Obama IRS refused to approve any Tea Party applications for tax-exempt status. At the same time the Obama IRS approved dozens of progressive applications. (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...

============================================

Lerner began her Congressional testimony by reading a self-serving statement, then declared that she’d answer no questions. Cong Trey Gowdy objected, insisting that once you start yapping in your own interest, you’re not allowed to clam up again. Gowdy knows more than anyone---we are dealing w/ practiced con artists---the logic of established law does not work w/ these cons. Trey needs to grill Lerner about this:

================================

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION APPROVES 50 MILLION DOLLARS IN AID TO KENYA. O'S HALF BRO READY TO CASH IN---RUNS THE TAX-EXEMPT "DO-GOOD" OBAMA FOUNDATION

NAMED FOR DEAR OLD DAD The tax-exempt “charity” named in honor of their Dad, is run by President Barack Obama’s half-brother Malik.

The tax-exempt Obama foundation, fast-tracked by Lerner for IRS tax-exempt status, is based at a Virginia UPS store, according to its website. The organization’s IRS filings list another Virginia address that is actually a drug rehab center where the foundation does not appear ever to have been based.

As first reported by The Daily Caller, the foundation was speedily approved for IRS exemption by Lois Lerner, the self-same IRS senior official at the center of the targeting of conservative organizations that have waited over two years to receive tax exempt status. The IRS thoughtfully gave Obama Foundation retroactive fund-raising status.......which it stupidly never applied for.

============================================

The tax-exempt Barack H. Obama Foundation is run by Abon’go “Roy” Malik Obama, the half-brother of Barack Obama. The foundation’s mission statement is “to provide people everywhere with resources to uplift their welfare and living standards in memory of dad---Barack H. Obama: in the region of his birth, Kenya, and beyond.” Its guiding principle is “the inherent belief that no one can truly enjoy the riches he has reaped if his neighbor suffers....."We seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors.”

(same old, same old sap-happy do-goodniks)

Despite raising more than $250,000, the alleged charity doesn’t seem to have done much. Its website claims the organization has built a madrassa and was building an imam’s house as well as some “proposed latrines,” but there is no other evidence that the nonprofit was working to “mitigate social-shortcomings in areas of education and literacy, health and well-being, poverty, and lack of community infrastructure in such basic needs such as water, electricity, shelter and sustenance,” as the site says.

Alton Ray Baysden, a former Dept of State employee, allegedly a registered Republican, who helped start the Barack H Obama foundation, declined to comment before seeing copies of a reporter’s passport and govt ID, along with a description of the article’s “motivation” and “slant.”

Repeated reporters' phone calls went to the organization’s voicemail and were not returned.

dress taken on a trip to Kenya when Ohaha was about 23-24 yo.

Great post!

[FreedomPoster]

Not to Godwin the discussion, but most of what Nazi Germany did was “legal”.

That didn’t make it right.

You might be surprised what a conservative news agency similar
To AP could achieve. Journalist are under time restraints. They take the easy route and use whatever is written for them. Liberals understand this and use it to their advantage.
