Obama’s administration is now totally illegitimate.

I presume the “low-level” IRS employees are no longer suckling at the taxpayer teat?

There must be hard evidence and whistle blowers.

No way would the IRS make today’s admission out of the blue.

What kind of ‘follow up’ would ABC do if Bush’s IRS had targeted Democrat organizations...

That’s what ABC needs to do with this story... pretend they’re not as biased as the IRS. Pretend they’re a new organization and not an arm of the DNC...

***”They didn’t do it because of any political bias,” Lerner said, adding that singling out groups with specific names was an ill-thought-out organizational “shortcut.” ***

And if George Bush’s IRS singled out groups with the name “Progress” he could have used the same excuse?

Show no mercy! Careers and reputations need to be ruined. Government employees that use our tax dollars to deny the 1A rights of law abiding citizens need to suffer personal consequences. And I mean suffer.

The only “concrete” steps should be repealing the 16th. After prosecuting everyone involved, of course.

Illegal. Flat out illegal. Does anyone believe that if this had been done by a Republican administration that impeachment proceedings wouldn’t have already started? No Republican president could ever survive a scandal like this one.

This one comment rubs me wrong, this is obviously political. These employees need to be identified and fired.

88 page questionnaires that seek information on donors, facebook postings and tweets require multi-level discussions, review and approval. This is not a renegade event. A management structure went about this discriminatory process.

The Liberals at the IRS are quick to stuff people in jail but now they are suddenly interested in cheap excuses and hollow apologies.

These employees need to be identified and flogged in public, then fired.

There is probably no more chilling words to hear than "I am from the IRS and I would like to ask you some questions."

Who knows how much grief, wasted time and angst these jokers, working at the behest of obozo, caused.

I hope the Republicans follow this one up the pole that will ALSO lead to obozo (like Benghazi).
