The Insiders: The Obama IRS nightmare is just getting started
Washington Post ^ | May 13, 2013 | Ed Rogers

Posted on 05/14/2013 7:11:39 AM PDT by grundle

Your government, as currently administered by President Obama, doesn’t like the word “patriot.” If you associate yourself with an organization using that word, you may be investigated and prosecuted. Under Obama, government employees think they are doing what their superiors want them to do when they harass and menace political organizations that might oppose the president.

Vladimir Putin is probably jealous of Obama. He and others like him will hardly be able to hide their smiles when they hear the United States preach about the need to let political organizations function freely. What lessons should the Muslim Brotherhood learn from what the Obama IRS has done?

To say the least, this story has legs. The scandal is already getting worse, and it hasn’t even officially started yet. The IRS inspector general’s report is only the beginning, and it was just leaked on Friday afternoon (the typical, amateurish time for leaking damaging news). The formal release date hasn’t even been announced. Yet the jaw-droppers keep coming. This morning The Post reported that the Obama IRS targeted groups that want to “make America a better place to live.”

The Obama IRS scandal will frighten any American who has to pay taxes... There’s too much about this scandal that confirms what people already think about Obama, his government and his political machine.

Abolish the IRS

Impeach Obama

But don’t forget that they are trying to sneak pass an Amnesty destroying bill through Congress( call Congress)

Repeal the income tax( 16th amendment) and replace that “sorely” needed revenue for fake global warming studies by replacing the income tax with a tax on China imports

A great insight into WaPo Readers’ minds in this quote from the comment section:

“Politicians run for office, but the civil service runs the government.

Mr. President, don’t trust the hyper-partisan politicians. The civil service has your back!

Hold steady, IRS. Congressmen and Senators come and go, but you remain.

Forward!”

Time to repeal the 16th (and a few others, perhaps).

This scandal, along with the Benghazi scandal needs to grow legs and run. These scandals should be nurtured so as to injure Obama and Hillary as deeply as can possible. They need to feel the heat for the first time on their miserable lives.

A foreshadowing of how the IRS will treat “patriotic” businesses and individuals when it assumes its ObamaCare enforcement powers. If the GOP were capable of any thoughts beyond preserving their own power, they could use this scandal to help derail ObamaCare and save the Republic a great deal of further damage.

Just relax, I've been doing this for 40 years. We sacrifice a few clowns in the IRS and State Department and the media will do the rest to prove we are working for the American people.

The litany of excuses by this administration is a rip-off of Bart Simpson.

In a sane world this would bring down the entire administration. But it is not a sane world. The leftist/media complex controls the public’s thought processes.

They have a lot of investigating to do then. Let them waste their time. As an investigator for over 20 years that’s done thousands of investigations if you do your due diligence and there’s nothing to report, there’s nothing to report. What are they going to do? Find out that you pay your taxes, attend church, are a law biding citizen that is respectable in your community and that ou grumble about how the government has changed so much in the last 5 years. Oh the horror! You’re worse than the Boston Bombers, the Muzzies that kicked over graves in the UK, and beat their wives and force them to wear a sack covering their entire bodies that treat them like property while believing in a religion that teaches you to infiltrate, lie to and kill your enemies.

Screw ‘em all (socialists, libs, the left, and the Muzzies). Time to install new leadership and kick out the deadbeats to restore order.

I wonder if there have been politically motivated audits and that hasn’t come out yet.

For one, they’ll go after your donors, and starting next year, their healthcare.

I believe it was in response to a lawsuit by Landmark Legal Foundation (Mark Levin). If you can, watch the beginning of Hannity last night.

No one should mistake any bad press that the Obama Regime is currently getting as a sign that the lamestream media has turned on Our Glorious Leader. They have not.

The media has a short window of a few months in which to vent against perceived slights against them by the Obama Regime and to pretend that they are providing unbiased coverage. The media will reunite behind the Obama Regime just in time for the 2014 elections.

During the months leading up the 2014 election, when the lamestream media is once again a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party, they will respond to charges of media bias by pointing out how back in 2013 they ran all sorts of hard hitting articles about the Obama Regime.

Thanks,I had a friend-he’s with God now-who was audited.He ran a pro-life newspaper and did radio and TV.The audit cost around 40,000.00.The auditor was there every day for months.This is when Clinton was in office.That’s what they do.Also the media knows if they are not with the program their lines are tapped.It’s a given.
