Even as the IRS faces growing heat over Lois G. Lerner and the tea party targeting scandal, a government watchdog said Wednesday it’s pursuing cases against three other tax agency employees and offices suspected of illegal political activity in support of President Obama and fellow Democrats.
In one case the Office of Special Counsel, which investigates federal employees who conduct politics on government time, said it was “commonplace” in a Dallas IRS office for employees to have pro-Obama screensavers on their computers, and to have campaign-style buttons and stickers at their office. In another case, a worker at the tax agency’s customer help line urged taxpayers “to re-elect President Obama in 2012 by repeatedly reciting a chant based on the spelling of his last name,” the Office of Special Counsel said in a statement.
OSC said it is seeking “significant disciplinary action” against that employee.
Another IRS employee in Kentucky has agreed to serve a 14-day suspension for blasting Republicans in a conversation with a taxpayer.
“They’re going to take women back 40 years,” the IRS employee said in a conversation that was recorded. The employee also said that “if you vote for a Republican, the rich are going to get richer and the poor are going to get poorer.”

They know on which side their bread is buttered.
“They’re going to take women back 40 years,” the IRS employee said in a conversation that was recorded. The employee also said that “if you vote for a Republican, the rich are going to get richer and the poor are going to get poorer.”
I guess he’s right. I voted for a republican and the rich are definitely getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
This guy gets a 14 day suspicion. I’ll bet it’s with pay so he actually got a 14 day paid vacation.
“Obama people...no surprise here”
Government people, supporting the government du jour (the ones currently signing the paychecks).
“No surprise. The irs is a great big welfare organization, where people pretend to work and get a paycheck in lieu of welfare. Plus affirmative action in the extreme.”
You’re right; I helped someone being audited once, and was shocked at the incompetence of the ethnic token (both race and gender) conducting the audit. Not nearly as scary as portrayed on TV; the employee knew little and it showed.
Eric WithHolder will not prosecute IRS Gangster Lois Lerner, of course, and even if he did, Barack Al-Obama would likely pardon her for her Federal crimes. But, can she be prosecuted in any STATE courts??
TO #13, re the remote office, WKRAP, Cincinnati?
try last presidential polling places where democrats were wearing campaign t-shirts advocating Obama.
(at least one pollworker had the same style Obama shirt)
fairscam is another entitlement program.
it is a living prebate. You end up every k street lobbyist staying THEIR client’s product is a necessity. Then you have government picking
You also have the federal government with a massive NEW-IRS deciding what is or is not a family. (PC anybody?)
AND
you have mandatory reporting of ALL economic activity through a centralized database. All this manure is in the statute itself.
A flat tax would be far better. No corporate tax. No investment income tax.
