Newly released emails show that Lois G. Lerner, the woman at the center of the IRS scandal over special scrutiny of conservative groups’ applications for tax-exempt status, specifically targeted tea party applications and directed they be held up in 2011 in order to come up with an agency policy.
The email, released by a House committee investigating the IRS, seems to counter Democrats’ arguments that tea party groups weren’t specifically targeted.

“Tea Party Matter very dangerous,” Ms. Lerner said in the 2011 email, saying that those applications could end up being the “vehicle to go to court” to get more clarity on a 2010 Supreme Court ruling on campaign finance rules.
In another email, from 2012, Ms. Lerner acknowledges that the agency’s handling of the tax-exempt applications had been bungled at the beginning, though she said they had taken steps to correct it.
“It is what it is,” she said in the email, released Thursday by the Ways and Means Committee. “Although the original story isn’t as pretty as we’d like, once we learned this [sic.] were off track, we have done what we can to change the process, better educate our staff and move the cases. So, we will get dinged, but we took steps before the ‘dinging’ to make things better and we have written procedures.”

I think we need to hold public hangings.
Ok then, there’s proof. When is she going to jail for her felons?
I want to see this bitch in prison. I want her hair sheared, dressed in orange and relegated to the status of the new bitch on the cell block..
Do not give her any sort of immunity. Get her ass up in front of men with balls and deliver the ultimatum.. “tell us the truth, or you had better get used to orange.”
“I think we need to hold public hangings.”
Yes, but in her case, a witch burning would be more appropriate!
Yeah, and she’s still being paid and go-along Issa hasn’t called her back to testify. It was all for show.
The Ballot Box?
Methinks you are a couple boxes short...
As soon as Eric Holder gets around to it.
We may be waiting awhile.
Do you really think it would make a difference? At the executive level we are outnumbered. The majority of voters these days are clueless peasants, happy on the plantation, blissfully ignorant about their oppressive existence.
Here’s a little story about how the colonists of Boston handled overreaching and bullying government apparatchiks.
In 1774, John Malcolm was a Crown customs collector, based in Boston. At that time Boston had had five years of civic tension culminating in the Boston Massacre. Malcolm, like most Crown representatives didn’t much like the Bostonians and harboured smouldering resentment against the uppity locals who had been resisting Crown authority since the Stamp Act in 1768. They made his job difficult. Malcolm had more reason than most to hold a grudge against the colonists. He had only recently had a run-in with the good people of Portland, Maine on a customs matter over which they had disagreed. The Portland folks saw fit to tar and feather Malcolm but were kind enough to allow him to remain clothed for the treatment. A prideful man who was impressed by his own authority this didn’t sit well.
In the snow covered streets of Boston in January Malcolm was run over by a boy sledding in the street. Malcolm, his temper, getting the best of him raised his cane to strike the boy. George Hewes, a local shoemaker, intervened and Malcolm turned on Hewes. At first, Malcolm tried to overawe Hewes with his social rank - being a gentleman and, in Malcolm’s mind, a hero of the French and Indian War. Hewes took the vituperation of Malcolm with a grain of salt and retorted “Be that as it may, I was never tarred and feathered.” That was the match to Malcolm’s tinder and he flew at Hewes and struck him a near fatal blow to the head with his cane.
The town of Boston was electric with tension between the locals and Crown representatives and word of this attack spread almost instantly. A crowd gathered at Malcolm’s house while he shouted out a window, relishing baiting the crowd into an uproar, and flourishing with his sword, eventually stabbing one man in the chest.
The crowd swarmed the house, forcing Malcolm to retreat to the second floor. Malcolm was eventually disarmed and the crowd seized him, tied him, put him on a sled and dragged him through the town as brickbats rained upon him. After pulling him by the wharfs to pick up a barrel of tar, the mob took him to King St, by the Town House, where political rallies were customarily held and where the Massacre had occurred.
In the chill of the coldest night of a Boston January Malcolm was stripped, dislocating his arm, and hot tar daubed on his bare skin, burning his flesh. Feathers then were applied to give what was then called the “modern jacket”. Malcolm was then paraded, both burned and freezing, from one end of the town to the other and back. At the Liberty Tree they threw a noose around his neck and threatened to hang him if he didn’t denounce the Governor and the Customs Commissioners. He refused but they didn’t hang him. Instead they paraded him back to the far end of town again, eventually rolling him out of the cart at his home “like a log.”
Malcolm wasn’t the first or last to suffer from the people’s anger. In the time before Concord and Lexington many Crown representatives as well as colonists in government positions suffered their houses to be ransacked, demolished or fired and their persons to be insulted most cruelly. Soon, the British Regulars - the Redcoats - the Crown’s SWAT teams of the time - which had been withdrawn after the Boston Massacre in an attempt to calm matters were returned in force and Boston was placed under martial law.
I thought obama made her a Saint? And now you want to see St. Lois in misery?
A real genius this dingbat is
The Federal apparatus is full of Lois Lerners,
and they are accountable to no one
This arrogant liar should be in jail.
*groan*
This is voter suppression of the highest order. Lois Lerner belongs in Federal prison. There is no way 0bama himself wasn’t complicit in his multi-agency effort at shutting down Republicans leading up to the 2012 election.
Where is Scooter Libby?
Yes...as crass as it sounds, I want her reduced to the degradation of ‘inmate’. One where she is internally conflicted with the choice of becoming some butch hulk’s bitch or constantly subjected to actions that make her miserable during her prison tenure.
What she did, at the behest of Obama or otherwise, is patently inexcusable and she deserves the harshest punishment imaginable in our penal system.
Makes sense why she took the 5th so quick. She will do her time and hope for a pardon like bj did with that suzanne bitch.
