Surprise! Surprise! The DUmmies SUPPORT IRS official Lois Lerner for pleading the Fifth Amendment as it is reported she will do tomorrow during a congressional hearing tomorrow. At least the DUmmies have revealed themselves since I checked KOmmieland and there is NADA there about this. There was a lot of reaction at the HUffington Post but since they allow NORMAL people in there, over 90% of the posters condemned Lerner. Of course, there were a few voices of reason in this DUmmie THREAD, "IRS Official Lois Lerner Will Plead The 5th Amendment," which leads me to suspect that those posts were made by LOUSY FREEPER TROLLS!!! So let us now watch the DUmmies give high fives to Lois Lerner in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who wonders if WILLIAM RIVERS PITT will mind IRS agents staring up his rectum when they administer ObamaCare, is in the [brackets]:
IRS Official Lois Lerner Will Plead The 5th Amendment
[DUmmies stand up and cheer!]
Lois Lerner, the official in charge of the exempt organizations division at center of the targeting scandal plaguing the Internal Revenue Service, invoked the Fifth Amendment on Tuesday, refusing to testify before a House oversight hearing this week.
“She has not committed any crime or made any misrepresentation but under the circumstances she has no choice but to take this course,” an attorney for Lerner told committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) in a letter obtained by the Los Angeles Times.
[An innocent lamb...who has to plead the Fifth to stay out of jail.]
Since she intends not to answer questions, the letter requests Lerner be exempt from the hearing since her appearance would “have no purpose other than to embarrass or burden her.”
[Poor baby!]
Lerner initially revealed during a Q&A session in Washington that Internal Revenue Service agents at the Cincinnati branch office improperly scrutinized conservative non-profit groups for additional reviews from 2010 to 2012. Lerner only recently disclosed that the question was planted, however.
[And now on to the DUmmies who cheer her on...]
Well done , Ms. Lerner. f*ck those republicans in their greasy assholes
[Is that you, Ben Burch?]
I know that pleading the 5th is not suppose to make her seem guilty, but it always kind of does - and here - with her not even being present, it actually transfer that patina of guilt to the organization and indirectly to Obama.
[Our Beloved Barack will avoid any hint of guilt because Valerie Jarrett long ago hermetically sealed him off from ugly reality in a giant condom.]
Fact is she was active with the IRS beginning the Reagan Administration and was appointed during the Bush Administration. What Democratic organizations or causes has she been active in?
[BUSH'S FAULT!!!]
I wish the corporate media would just verify that progressive non-profit groups were targeted also. Ms. Lerner is a GOPer along with her hubby.
[Did Valerie Jarrett also seal you off from reality with Obama in that giant condom?]
I think the Tea Party functions much like the Brown Shirts did for Hitler. They will be dealt with when they have done their dirty work.
[Are you applying for the job of IRS agent?]
What proof do you have that she's a Republican?
[Proof? We don't need no stinkin' proof!]
Issa will almost certainly demand she appear before the Inquisition. Tomas de Issa is rubbing his hands together with glee at the thought of forcing an IRS officer to have to say "Congressman, I plead the Fifth" about six hundred times as his panel gets more and more abrasive with her. This footage will run on every TV station and on every Repuke's campaign commercials for the next...oh, say ten years. Here's reality: this scrutiny SHOULD have been done across the board to every 501(C)(4) application, but thanks to our Republicans there's no money. And the only reason it's "improper" is that it happened to people Republicans like. If we had a Republican in the White House and the IRS was caught crawling through Democratic groups, the entire RW blogosphere and the entire conservative press would be cheering.
[Lerner is going to plead the Fifth and you sound like you swallowed a Fifth.]
She is fishing for immunity. Which generally means she has something to offer or knows something she feels a need to be compelled to before doing so.
[How much she knows can be estimated by counting the number of beads of sweat rolling down Obama's face.]
This whole thing is an intricate, 'long con' Rovian setup ...
[Ah. A Perfect Rovian Storm!]
I don't buy for ONE SECOND that this 'scandal' has anything remotely to do with Obama or the Dems trying to harm their 'political enemies' by denying them NP status. Obama is getting 'Dan Rather'd here.
[Poor innocent Dan Rather who got busted for using FAKE but ACCURATE documents.]
I think Lois has been working for ROVE. And the people at the IRS would did this targeting were also working for ROVE.
["Lois" does sound like "Lucy" as in Lucy Ramirez so you might be on to something here.]
IOW, this whole thing is political theater. Rove told her to plead the Fifth to try to make Obama look bad/guilty, and so she won't have to be grilled by Dems at the hearing. That's right, I think she's going to take the 5th because the people running this scam are actually afraid of the Democrat's questions, not the GOP's questions.
[You know what? This all quite amusing but I suspect that "DUmmie" brett_jv is actually a LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!! Sorry for blowing your cover but you really do need to be a bit more subtle. Oh, and don't post anything this wild while you still have a low post count. Sorry, for outing you but you can learn from this experience to your advantage in your next DUmmie resurrection. I might even use my DUmmie Moderator deep cover to tombstone you.]
PING!
So president Rove is behind all this?
top ten!!!!
I wonder if she would accept a 5th amendment plea in response to a request for information on any Tea Party application?
Aww crap, they’re onto us.
All this time they thought Obama was president when in reality he’s just a Rovian puppet.
Patina Pending™
“I don’t care how many crimes she committed, those rethugs are still evil”!
No problemo.
who knew that guilt could have such a glow!
I knew the DUmmies were always hoping that America would someday become a police state. This confirms it.

I am consistently amazed at how much power people attribute to certain scapegoats. Not that the Karl Roves of back-stage punditry/election strategy and Koch Bros of broad financing don’t wield power, but REAL power comes from ideas and in the case of righteous power from God’s chosen vessels. You can’t buy that, but you can sure recognize it.
They can fight that all they want...won’t do ‘em any good.
Might as well try to wipe Israel out.
This is a howler from the Dummiecrats. I’m amazed at how stupid they actually are. Can we confirm none of these people are in fact preschoolers?
How can we justify their being allowed to participate in a modern, technical society? They need constant, adult care.
Finally, the IRS has a face! First picture of I’ve seen of anyone involved in this scandal.
These people are insane, and can you imagine the absolute uproar if this had been done to liberal groups under Bush?
These people are on drugs.
Hmmmm. Rove would like to get rid of the Tea Party....
