Claim: Obama Campaign Co-Chair Attacked Romney with Leaked IRS Docs
Breitbart ^ | May 14, 2013 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 05/15/2013 10:20:05 AM PDT by GeorgeWashingtonsGhost

One of President Barack Obama's re-election campaign co-chairmen used a leaked document from the IRS to attack GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney during the 2012 election, according to the National Organization for Marriage (NOM).

NOM, a pro-traditional marriage organization, claims the IRS leaked their 2008 confidential financial documents to the rival Human Rights Campaign. Those NOM documents were published on the Huffington Post on March 30, 2012. At that time, Joe Solmonese, a left-wing activist and Huffington Post contributor, was the president of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). Solmonese was also a 2012 Obama campaign co-chairman.

Both the Huffington Post's Sam Stein and HRC described the leak as coming from a “whistleblower.” The Huffington Post used the document to write a story questioning former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney’s support for traditional marriage. The document showed Romney donated $10,000 to NOM. HRC went a step further than the Huffington Post in its criticism of Romney and accused him of using “racially divisive tactics” in a press release.

Is there any substantial difference between this and the Watergate burglars?

Obama is guilty

people had better wake up...

this is war..

this is an onslaught...

we better stop this purity this and purity that nonsense and get people elected because no matter how impure and Mormon Romney was, he would have been 100x better for this country than bammey the boy....

but I also have to say is that the conservative big boys,or republican big boys, if there are even any of them, had to KNOW what the bammey boy criminal enterprise could do and FIGHT back accordingly....

FIGHT with all their might....

Remember when Dingy Harry said “I Know that Mitt Romney did not pay his taxes.” How did he get that info..that didn’t just come out of his ass, I wonder if the IRS gave him some info..and YES the 2012 election SHOULD be nullified, so should 2008 since there was massive election fraud there also, but nothing will be done because there are too many low information voters out there who only care about when their next food stamp check will arrive

I seem to recall Dingy Harry saying he knew Romney hadn’t paid his taxes. There needs to be an investigation into the matter to find out if Reid had access to the same documents. If it’s proven he indeed had access he needs to be tossed out of the Senate.

All of these scandals are 10 times worse than Watergate. The break-in was to get a campaign strategy document. 0bama is going after Americans.. And abandoned others to die.

Did this have anything to do with Harry Reid’s comments about Romney’s taxes?

Yes, but he would have been just another big-government RINO, and all these revelations about the dangers of big government would never have happened.

We can thank the 0bamunists for the wake-up call, inadvertent though it may be.

Now we have the answer as to the origin of Reid’s comment. INVESTIGATE. The dots are connected now.

If this is true, then people on the Obama re-election committee could face Federal charges of unauthorized access to confidential income tax data--and they could be sued for monetary damages, too.

The Mount Tambora of political scandals is about to erupt....

1And here you are again pushing us to elect more people with no principle. People who make laws that empower the Gonsels of the world.

If you hadn’t noticed, the LACK of purity created the mess that is the GOP. And psuedocons like you help them destroy the political right from within. Go to DU.

"we better stop this purity this and purity that nonsense and get people elected"

Will you still be saying that after the GOP adopts sodomite marriage as part of its platform? After it decides to stick solely to fiscal matters and drop those embarrassing social issues---such as abortion?

I'll never be a part of that.

Could face Federal charges, but won’t. There’s a difference. Remember, we’re talking about Democrats here. They get away with anything.
