The only acceptable thing is: “I resign . . .”

. . . one minute after Joe Biden resigns.

The Holy Grail here is if anyone can prove Barry was advised by anyone or the DNC that the IRS would target Members of the GOP and Tea Party. I’m positive the fairway king knew about this and may have condoned it!
Time will tell! I’m sure someone, somewhere said we’re gonna crush their balls!

You are correct.

FBI is part of justice Dept, not Treasury. It’s original role was interstate crime.

That’s what I want to know. There is a sizable group of IRS employees who should be facing some hefty jail time right now. Once we start prosecuting these people, they will begin to spill the beans on who’s orders they were following.

This will provide the script for the news media. No use listening to the news for the next 2 weeks. It will be the same bullfeathers.

In 2 weeks there will be Memorial Day, when thousands go into vacation mode. All will be forgotten.

Well if Obama sticks with his logic, after seeing the IRS head is fired, then Holder should be fired over the AP scandal and Obama needs to go over Benghazi.

That is exactly what I would do .... Tomorrow have a vote to not fund the IRS enforcement side of Obamacare until we get a special prosecutor to find out really how high this went, we already know members of Congress wer trying to use the IRS to go after the Tea Party until that was shutdown.

If the House doesn’t do something now, it will never get another opportunity and in fact the IRS will be used to enslave all of us to government by controlling our medical care.

Well, one thing is clear: Congress may not make the politicization of the IRS into a political event.

Remember this?

“Attacking Obama’s Missouri ‘Truth Squad’”
Natalie Gewargis
Sep 29, 2008 11:12am

Republicans — led by the Governor of Missouri and the Republican National Committee — are alleging that there is something untoward about the “Truth Squad” the Obama campaign has set up in the “Show Me” State. The problem, these Republicans say, is that these “Truth Squad” members are prosecutors and sheriffs with law enforcement powers, thus creating an atmosphere where Missourians might be afraid of being prosecuted for criticizing Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.

There is no evidence, however, that these prosecutors are threatening to use their prosecutorial powers in such a way.

And despite GOP complaints that the mere presence of prosecutors on the “Truth Squad” could intimidate Obama’s critics, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and his running mate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin have used prosecutors on their “Truth Squads” too, prompting no complaints from the GOP at the time.

**

The Missouri Truth Squad, an Obama campaign press release stated last week, would “respond quickly, forcefully, and aggressively when John McCain or his allies launch inaccurate claims or character attacks about Barack Obama, or when they distort Barack Obama’s record or plans.”

So what’s the problem?

Many of the Obama Missouri Truth Squad members have law enforcement powers, such as St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, and Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer.

A local TV story took those facts and then stated that, “Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading television ad during the presidential campaign,” which doesn’t seem a fair representation of the formation of the “Truth Squad.”......

Sure...although someone else came up with the Intimigate name...and Beck liked the IntimOgate one.

I just put it to graphic. I am hoping it will go viral.

Well obama should be scared because his administration might go down depending on how this plays out. It all depends on what evidence is collected and whether it would persuade the MSM and low info voters or not. I don’t have my hopes up but I also don’t have them down either. This is an opening that if played right could break wide open.
