Lerner said the practice, initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati, was wrong and she apologized while speaking at a conference in Washington.................Pass the buck.

An apology is not sufficient for criminal action.

“Gosh, we’re sorry”

Somehow that doesn’t seem to help.

What’s wrong with these people? Don’t they know that being a fascist means never having to say you’re sorry?

But the IRS does not hesitate to give tax exemptions to organizations that drown babies in toilets or throw them in the trash.

Will they apologize for all the politically-motivated audits initiated by ‘Rat-minded politicians and bureaucrats every election since Woodrow Wilson? Will they apologize for all these audits and harassments that they WILL still perform in all the elections for the next 100 years? It would be nice, especially the latter, because I don’t expect them to stop.

No surprise. 10-15 years ago, I founded a property rights organization to educate homeowners about some local environmental proposals that would take away property rights. The IRS fought our 501c3 status application, and we ended up folding (after raising tens of thousands of dollars, and winning the battle).

We intentionally tagged you for review before the election, but hey, the election is over, so we apologize.

But shape up, because next year, when we are policing for Obamacare, we may tag you again.

What? The IRS attacked those opposed to their dictatorial policies and specifically targeted groups that are calling for a reduction in the IRS’ power! It is shocking I tell ya.

Luckily, we are trusting them to be the enforcers of Obamacare!

Just curious how this story broke. The IRS didn’t just up and decide to fess up. Did an undercover reporter break the scandal (yeah, I know jus kiddin)? Or is there a whistleblower (doubt that too..)?

Apology goes nowhere to the ones that had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to fend off the attacks of the IRS. Not to speak of those that were destroyed by the audit. This is criminal and the IRS should be audited and employees should be hired by ability, not affirmative action.

Unbelievable.

Of course there will be no repercussions and this will be a blip on FOX, only.

More abuse of power from this administration!!

Are they ever going to have to answer for these flagrant violations of their oaths of office and the laws of this country?

EVER??

The IRS employees who did this deserve to be fired - but of course, federal employees can’t be fired for things like this. They may be “reassigned” but they won’t be fired.

They are as sorry as Hillary Clinton is about Benghazi. :)

Sorry they got caught.

Does Obama have an “Enemies of Obama” list and is he directing the IRS to harass them?
