Lois Lerner’s now infamous conference-call remark about not being good at math came in the course of an exchange where she claimed that 300 or so groups had been singled out by the IRS for special scrutiny, a quarter of which had “tea party” or “patriot” in their name and the rest of which were guilty of sins like criticizing the government.

Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They’ll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices.

Nothing like a little context, Mr president.

Then gave the info to a liberal think tank. I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS ADMINISTRATION in any way shape or form. Obama can go to hell. He and his entire flotilla are nothing but POS!

This really upsets Odumbo’s IRS plans for Obamacare next year: Targeting conservatives with health problems; they literally would become a dying breed.

Do we hear Boehner, McConnell, McCain, Graham, Rubio and the rest of the Republicans screaming on television this proves Obamacare is not ready for implementation and should be repealed.

No, what we hear is we need to pass amnesty immediately.

I saw they targeted Billy Graham’s ministry. Haven’t heard if they targeted Rev. Wright or Rev. Jackson or muslim organizations.

Keep pressing. Obama could hide Fast & Furious by stonewalling and then hiding behind EO.

He can’t scapegoat the CIA, State Department, and Justice Department all at the same time.

Time to rip the mask off and reveal the ugly mess once and for all!

And the ministries of Billy Graham and Franklin Graham too. . .

Graham to Obama: IRS targeted BGEA and Samaritan’s Purse, too

Think about it.

Liberals believe the "owner" of a life can end it out of convenience.

Since liberals believe the gov't "owns" all of us, it can end our lives if we are not "convenient" to the good of society.

Now the IRS and "Death Panels" make much more sense, yes?

This is a case of projection. Obama has always heard voices in his head. That’s a major component in the diagnosis of SCHIZOPHRENIA. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK11672/ has a lengthy discussion of the symptoms and the various courses the problem may take. Although the Narcissism diagnosis so popular fits pretty well, this guy is more like the whingdongs NIH describes.

This is why I am really opening wonder if conservative radio talk show hosts were also targeted. Imagine the furor if Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity announce that the IRS has been hassling their finances since 2009—the furor would now become “top of fold front page” news and the repercussions could be gigantic.

And then the day after nothing would get done and nothing would get built and nothing would be grown. Hell, you don't think the obongo voters are going to step up and actually work do you?
