IRS Scandal Continues With More Lies
Political Realities ^ | 02/09/14 | LD Jackson

IRS Scandal

President Obama and his administration would like us to believe that the scandal(s) surrounding the IRS are nothing more than a fabricated witch hunt designed to cause trouble for an administration distrusted by conservatives and Fox News. He said there wasn't a "smidgen of corruption" present in the IRS' targeting of conservative groups. Yes, that's what he really said to Bill O'Reilly. He as much as blamed the scandal on the reporting done by Fox News. He claims the investigation into the matter found the IRS and the agents involved did nothing wrong in their targeting of 501(c)(4) groups. What he didn't bother to mention is the investigation was ran by one of his campaign contributors and failed to interview the people who claim they have been targeted by the IRS.

If we are waiting for President Obama to admit his administration did anything wrong, I am afraid we are in for a long wait. His past actions lead me to believe that such an admission will never be forthcoming. What we will continue to hear is a narrative that is a lie. Nothing more and nothing less. President Obama is not the kind of President who takes responsibility for his failures. Neither does he allow his people to take such responsibility. If he did, Eric Holder and Kathleen Sebelius would have both been fired long ago.

Even with the distrust many of us feel toward the Obama administration, the IRS scandal goes deeper than we first believed. I wrote about the rule changes proposed by the IRS back in December 2013. At the time, nothing much was being said about the rules. Since then, more information is coming out about how the proposed rules came about. As it turns out, the changes are not a new proposal. As early as 2012, certain individuals at the IRS, including Lois Lerner, were planning to implement the changes in what was described as "off plan". In other words, they weren't going to go public with the proposal. They were just going to make the change and further obscure their true intentions.

How can anyone look at the information available to us and not understand how much we are facing an out-of-control government on all levels? Private citizens who are concerned about the direction our country is heading are speaking out and taking action. As a result, they are being targeted by every facet of a federal government that can not tolerate dissent. That fact is becoming more and more evident. Here is how Cleta Mitchell, the attorney for some of the groups that have been targeted by the Obama administration, summed it up.

Human Events - “I want to make three primary points here today,” said Mitchell.  ”First, the IRS scandal is real. It’s not pretend, it’s real.  Number two, the IRS scandal is not just a bone-headed bunch of bureaucrats in some remote office contrary to what the President of the United States told the American People on Sunday.  And, number 3, the IRS scandal is not over.  It is continuing to this day.  And the Department of Justice Investigation is a sham.  It is a nonexistent investigation.”

Her one-sentence summary of the scandal was powerful stuff: “The IRS, at the direction of some political elites in Washington - not in Cincinnati, but Washington – took what had been, for decades, a process of reviewing applications for exempt status that, for 501(c)(4) organizations, could be expected to take three to four weeks, and they converted that process into one that took three to four years, and in some cases is still not over.”

The IRS scandal is not over. In fact, it is still progressing, with no sign of the Obama administration letting up their pressure. The defense they are using is that it is nothing more than trumped-up charges that do not really exist. In closing, allow me to share the video of someone who knows these charges are not trumped-up, that they are, in fact, a very real and present danger to the civil liberties and freedom of speech of any American who would dare speak out against a federal government that is firmly in the grasp of the most liberal of all administrations. Catherine Engelbrecht knows of the abuses by the IRS, the FBI, the ATF, and OSHA first hand. Listen to her testimony and then ask yourself this question. Do we really want America to look like this?

Is there anything that comes out of this administration that ISN’T a lie?

I believe nothing that they say at this point. They are proven liars, thus nothing they say even remotely resembles reality.

The GOP benefits from this, they would have never been able to militarize the IRS like zippy the a##clown has. We have been frozen in place by the word racism which is used at every turn to override the law of the land

Seven US Senators Asked the IRS to “Investigate” Tea Party "Non-profits"......candidate Obama said Tea Parties were a "threat to democracy."

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

OBAMA'S BROTHER LINKED TO MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
WND | Jerome R. Corsi / August 2013 / FR Posted by barmag25

NEW YORK – Malik, Pres Obama’s half-brother in Kenya could cause the White House more headaches over new evidence linking him to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and establishing a controversial tax-exempt fast-tracked by then-IRS supervisor Lois Lerner.

Malik Obama’s oversight of the Muslim Brotherhood’s international investments is one reason for the Obama administration’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to an Egyptian report citing the vice president of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt...

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

The Tea Party is subjected to continued IRS harrassment but the shady "Barack H Obama Foundation" created hy half-brother Malik---in honor of their father--was fast-tracked for tax-exemption by the IRS. Obama’s half-brother Malik got an IRS approval from Lois Lerner in 28 days to set up the "Barack H. Obama" tax exempt foundation.....named after dear old Dad.

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

The tax-free Obama foundation, fast-tracked by Lois 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.

He said there wasn't a "smidgen of corruption" present in the IRS' targeting of conservative groups. Yes, that's what he really said to Bill O'Reilly.

Go get'im O'Reilly!

Obama is SUCH a pimp. Thank you, Don Corleone.

The only "smidgen" around are:
1. Obama's "legacy" and
2. the brain-power of those morons who re-elected him.

When is a scandal not a scandal?

When the news media refuse to report it, and instead attack the scandal's victims while the "Opposition Party" cowers in fear, refusing to oppose.

And that is why we are all in for far worse from the lawless tyrant and his Supreme Executive Council.

He’s right. Of course there wasn’t a “smidgen of corruption.”

No, there was actually a whole fleet of dump trucks full of corruption.

O’Reilly didn’t even bring up Obama’s brother and the fact his 501c() was out of a UPS store address.

O’Reilly missed so many opportunities to bring this out in the open.

As far as I am concerned- that interview gave Obama cover and made Fox News look stupid.

Sounds like this administration declared war on the right from day one. They intend to win at ALL/ANY cost. It’s like drip, drip, drip until it’s too late. That’s the way I see them. But it will be too late for them too.

Do you remember when Pelosi took over The House?

She NEVER uttered the word “Bush” but itself- it was ALWAYS “The Failed Bush Administration”.

We have to adopt this. Every time you mention “Obama” say “The Liar Obama” and “The Lying Bush Administration”

Obama declares, 'The only people that don't want to disclose the truth, are people with something to hide."

IRS official Lois Lerner is called to testify about the truth before Congress and takes the Fifth.

Lerner must have something to hide. At least according to Barak "there's no even a smidgen of corruption" Obama.

It wasn’t “just” denial of tax status. It provided seeding for compiling a data base allowing the government, through the IRS, to harass contributors. In other words, it was a political investigation and harassment process of OTD (other than Democrats) in every widening circles. This is the stuff of police states, although for now the penalties were hassle rather than firing squad.

Bashing O'Reilly and Fox News. That's helpful.
