The IRS scandal is unraveling

We can now officially say that the IRS harassment of conservative groups is a political scandal connected to the Obama political machine. Despite the best obfuscatory efforts of Obama henchmen like Rep. Elijah Cummings, yesterday the IRS scandal was tied to a political appointee of President Obama. Step-by-step the chain is being followed upward by the House Oversight Committee chaired by Rep. Darrell Issa.

Jay Carney's assurances that two rogue agents in a back office in the 27th most populous metropolis of America were the problem has been exposed as a blatant, outrageous lie. Now we know that Obama's hand-picked agent was leading the initiative, as far as the people below him in the federal apparatus knew.

Now we begin to prepare the vice to squeeze the Obama political appointee, perhaps making an immunity grant to Lois Lerner a possibility. Keep in mind, it is not an offer, it is an involuntary grant she cannot refuse.

Of course the White House knew.

The big question is what will be done about it?

I say NOTHING.

The great hope of the Democrats is that the scandal is complicated that sufficient numbers of the public can be distracted with Rolling Stone covers and celebrity gossip, and media allies will entomb the story, so it will go away. There appears to be a media blackout on the hearings, other than Fox News and consrevative outlets. For instance the Washington Post, betraying its Watergate legacy, failed to note the story of yesterday's hearings.

To me the only real hope is a civil lawsuit against the journalism establishment. In the Zimmerman case, NBC is low-hanging fruit since NBC broadcast a question to Zimmerman, and snipped out the answer and the succeeding question - leaving the answer to one question to stand as an inflammatory answer to a different question!

But the real opportunity is to sue journalism as a whole - “the Associated Press, its members individually and severally, and the FCC (for its role in promoting the broadcasting of journalism)” in a class-action suit with Zimmerman as lead plaintiff. The advantage of suing them as a group is that suing one of them allows that one to point fingers at all the others - pin them all down at once, and let them fight among themselves over the distribution of blame for the libelous reporting for which they each and all are actually responsible.

And don’t settle for a modest monetary award, but demand both a ton of dough and a consent decree which will either put an end to the broadcasting of anti-white propaganda episodes of the ilk of Trayvon Martin, Crystal Mangum, and Tawana Brawley or will force them to emphasize crimes by others than whites in proportion to their per capita crime rates. Either of which would gut their “Man Bite Dog, not Dog Bites Man” business model - and basically shut down journalism’s coverage of George Zimmerman and the death of Trayvon Martin.

I don’t really see an answer. The Media like Hollywood has a self supporting liberal ben that is pretty hard to beat.

If a Journalist wants to make it in the profession they are forced to accept it/ Like an actor in Hollywood, if they wish to get a part they must show the same liberal attachment or they are ostracized.

Hollywood has long been filled with queers and drug addicts, they all give their support to others who are hooked on drugs or queer. They all share their drug source, and protect it, like the Media shares their sources and protect them.

I don’t know how we will ever beat it, They are indeed more members of the Borg.

My hope - dream? - is that journalism is sued into consent decrees which defang political correctness - and that a non-PC journalism drains the advantage from PC entertainment.
