Nixon only TALKED about it. For THAT he was brought up on charges. The IRS was probably as loaded with libturds then as it is now. They would not have done for Nixon what they gladly did for Bozo.

Politically motivated? IRS IG J. Russell George today: ‘I can definitively say, within the White House, no — as of today.’ As of today?

If I remember correctly the IRS, don't remember the job title of the individual but he was highly placed, refused to do what Nixon wanted. Amazing isn't it? Who could find an honest man in the government now? I see Petraus and Kissinger (who knew he was still alive?) are both attending Bilderberg...a hive of elitist scoundrels

The Problem here is that Obama will never fess up and if we go after him we are racists.
This guy stinks on ice.

Nixon only talked about using the IRS that way. Of course to a liberal, a Republican talking about it is far far worse than a Democrat doing it wholesale.Nixon was also facing resistance from the solidly Democrat and statist nature of the entire bureaucracy, especially in IRS and State.

What people really need to wrap their head around is how Obama care will make the IRS an enforcement arm of Obama.
Denying 502 status to some teapartiers is nothin.
They are coming for ALL OF US.

Russell George today: I can definitively say, within the White House, no as of today. As of today?Many, many times today during his testimony, George said he was not aware of WH involvement because the previous audit did not focus on the WH.
Read between those lines. There is a strong wind blowing on Obama's house of cards.

Werfel, previously a top official at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), called the activity at the IRS unacceptable, and vowed to conduct a comprehensive review of IRS practices to make sure it never happened again.....<.I> If you want to make sure it never happens again, kill the tax code, fire 95% of the blood sucker bureaucrats who work for the IRS, and give us a simple flat tax with no deductions or loopholes.
That way, everyone would pay their "Fair Share" and the Feds would not be able to manipulate us with their "carrot and stick" tax code.

Obama to Treasury IG: "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. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can't be trusted."
