IRS Admits Targeting Conservative Groups; White House Blames… Bush

Filed Under Politics | 13 Comments

Welcome to ObamaWorld, where everybody gets a fair shake and nobody is unfairly singled out — as long as you’re a dedicated drinker of the Obama Kool Aid that is:

Tea Party leaders Friday demanded President Barack Obama personally apologize for an IRS campaign that targeted conservative groups during the 2012 election.

Tea Party Patriots co-founder Jenny Beth Martin reacted forcefully Friday after an IRS official admitted what tea party activists had said all through the 2012 cycle was true: federal tax officials singled out conservative groups for extra scrutiny.

Affected Tea Partiers will get their apology around the same time Joe Biden goes a full year without a gaffe.

Jay Carney naturally blamed Bush. He’s on quite the roll this week.

Flashback reminder: Obama doesn’t tell “jokes,” but instead provides windows into the soul of Hope & Change:

Update: See my post over at Michelle’s place for more details.

    For Barry and the HildaBeast to be the smartest man and woman alive, for this admin. to be the most, best, terrificest u-name-it evah, don`t they realize that throwing blame for everything not going right onto Bush or too many dandelions in the WH Rose Garden lawn just makes them look like spoiled children ?

    We were told during Bush`s terms how stupid he was, but he sure manages to mess things up for the smartest Pres. EVAH !

    The Ways and Means Subcommittee is wasting no time: http://cnsnews.com/news/article/ways-and-means-ir…

    And if "conservative, patriot or Tea Party" weren`t enough groups, it appears the IRS also targeted Jewish groups because they are connected to that nation of haters and oppressors, Israel: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/348013/irs-i…

    Re: the vid; more proof that whatever Barry says, the opposite is true. IOW, "we wouldn`t because it is just too ridiculous and laughable" = "we WILL do it and at the earliest opportunity" !

    Reminder: WATCH THE OTHER HAND !! Distractions are EVERYWHERE !

    That and the not-smartest, best, or anything else that is good and wholesome. Big question: Why are we even putting up with them?

    The Jews are on the others side of the line from the Muslim Brotherhood, and we know who is best buds with them.

    There was also probes into groups that taught the Constitution (think Hillsdale College).

    And now Drudge has on his front page that the IRS was the one that leaked confidential tax documents during the election.

    Just when Doug thought he would be able to take a week off and get some well deserved R&R this has to break…..

    Perhaps it is a conspiracy by dear leader to wear out Conservatives in the new media?

    Glad to see that House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Oversight (thanks for the update SPG) is demanding the names and titles of all those involved. They need to subpoena, swear them in and then question them. This way, when they try to scapegoat some low level flunkies those low level flunkies will roll over on their puppet masters.

    It looks like all this started back in 2010. This makes me think the plan was to try to use the information in an attempt to stop the 2010 landslide that occured.

    So here are some questions

    Would the 2010 landslide have been bigger if they had not been targeting groups (and I'll bet candidates as well)?

    Did this lead to some of the Tea Party Senate candidates losing by either directly going after the candidates or via indirectly by targeting would-be donors?

    I would not discount the Bush appointee angle. From all I have heard, Rove was knee deep in suggesting appointees. He did not like the fact that Tea Party candidates knocked out his chosen elites in those Senate races. Could he have called in a favor to the Bush appointee?

    Well, YEAH !! They`re trying to buy up all the ammo to shrink the availability to the public, too ! They`re hitting us from most every angle so we can`t possibly fight all the attacks !

    Glenn Beck started his show today with this. He didn`t mention Hillsdale, but Rush may this afternoon !

    Glenn also mentioned that the gv`t is recording EVERY electronic transmission.

    The Gv`t has been capable since Echelon in the early `90s; now they actually are. How long has this been going on ?

  13. SignPainterGuy on May 13th, 2013 1:26 pm

    Rove ? Yes, it`s possible. He`s a snake. But don`t think for a moment that the dems weren`t / aren`t fully responsible !
