If they can't get names of the higher ups, start squeezing the "low level" folks until they start pointing them out.
Why hasn't this been looked at as depriving a bunch of Americans of their "civil rights"

What people dont realize is that the IRS rigged the election of 2012 for Obama and the democrats/socialists in the Senate.
This is complete oppression , tyranny and rigging an election. OBamas IRS basically shut down the tea party to rig the election:
U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) told the tale of one of his constituents who applied for tax-exempt status for her Tea Party group in July 2010. Twenty months later she got her first response from the IRS, a letter with dozens of questions. She answered them all, but shes still waiting for approval. However, during the intervening three years she was visited by the FBIs domestic terrorism unit, had four additional FBI inquiries, had both her personal and business taxes audited and been the subject of an OSHA inspection.
Obama used The IRS, EPA, OSHA, CIA to silence and cripple his political opponents and therefore rigged the election of 2012. But Obama and the media wants to believe Obama didn’t know all his gov agencies were intimidating and shutting down tea party groups.

Agree. In my opinion, this also involves a governmental effort to deny people of their civil rights based on political or religious thought.
I’m glad to see that CBS is finally getting involved.

Well, I have reason to believe that the WH was involved. I say - guilty until proven innocent. Sure, that isn’t the way our law works, but what difference does it make now? The IRS treats everyone like they are guilty,so, turn about is fair play.

The problem is ? is getting the news of this and alerting as many people as possible about this corruption.
Perhaps some people with mega bucks can place full page ads all across the USA in as many news papers as possible.
Also ? just like the political ads perhaps some people with mega bucks can buy some TV time on prime time and tell the American people about this.
To: American Constitutionalist
Good idea.
Yes the problem is the media is not really covering this.
Even on this thread on a conservative site people believe the media is covering this. the media are not covering it(explaining this to some even on this site would take more time than I have at this second). people even on this site think the media is fair or actually reports news.

Who was that oil guy or some old guy who took out full page ads with the last name Pickens who told us all about how wonderful those windmills are and help our country ?
Anyway I remember someone with big bucks took out full page ads all across the country.
Might as well place this news of these scandals on bill boards all across the country and buy TV time all across the country.
" It's 11 O'clock do you know where your scandals are ? "
" How many scandals does it take to wake up America ? "
" If this is suppose to be the smartest president and administration ever ? then how come they don't know so much ? "
" Do you trust a president who says " The dog ate my home work " after being ask about the truth ?
If the Main Stream Media does not report it ? then ? the American people and some people with big bucks should place news paper ads, buy TV time, and place bill boards all across this country.

I want to believe something positive is going to result from all this. But I fear nothing will befall the IRS, which should be dismantled and is leaders prosecuted today.
It’s certainly a fine spectacle, seeing these thugs publicly upbraided, but do we reasonably hope any structural change to the IRS will occur? Or are the congresscritters just once again putting on a show, manufacturing a lot of noise, only to go silent like they did re F&F?

Of coarse they are, they designed it to work this way. Why do you think the former was promoted and is running obamacare thru the very same agency.

There's a potentially big story that is currently being ignored in much of the media, namely that IRS Chief Counsel William Wilkins--an Obama appointee--was informed of the targeting of conservatives in August of
2011. This information is revealed in the IG report.

BOzo was looking sheepish before the elections. He knew and was nervous about being caught. The conservatives were right all along about these crooks. SO WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO PRISON?! ( Hillary included)

0’s senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer is on the Sunday shows saying Issa knew about the targeting, before the elections, too. This should be easy to prove. Hopefully, it’s just more smoke coming out of their, er, fire.
