Rove: Democratic Senators Partly to Blame for IRS Scandal (Schumer, Baucus; ‘Look at these groups’)
Newsmax ^ | 5/15/13 | Dan Weil

**SNIP**

So IRS staffers simply "were doing what people on Capitol Hill wanted them to do," Rove said

“In 2010, Max Baucus . . . wrote a letter to the director of the IRS saying, ‘Go investigate these kinds of groups.’ We had Chuck Schumer, who has been stirring this around for a number of years, by 2012 he goes out and gives a similar tough letter to the head of the IRS saying, ‘Look at these groups,’ and gets six others to sign the letter.”

The Schumer letter spoke of "abuse of the tax code by political groups focused on federal election activities," Rove said.

Don’t neglect the letters seeking persecution of 12 Conservative orgs sent to the IRS by Carl (Marx) Lennin (’Rat-MI).

Cheesy Democrats getting the IRS to do their dirty work for them.

They should all be removed-—after tar and feathers.

Anyone surprised Chuck the Schmuck is in on this?

I laugh when I think of an ethics committee investigating this. Ethics Committee in the Senate is the biggest oxymoron of them all.

Rove should be shunned. He only works for candidates who dislike Conservatives. Just ignore his back door attempts at soliciting donations under the guise of fighting the ‘Rats. He’s irrelevant.

Rove is hoping that the money he raises from big millionaries, who support Amensty & gay marriage, he can beat conservatives into submission.

If Rove had his way, he would do the same thing to conservatives that the Obama administration is doing to them now. Conservatives are a hindrance to Rove’s agenda.

And YOU are also “partly responsible” Tokyo Rove because the destruction you brought to the Republican Party set the stage for scumbags like Schumer to be in control.
