I continue to say this (the IRS scandal) is a much bigger deal than Benghazi. Very crassly: This affects half of all Americans, on American soil, was deliberate, arguably affected an election, and was by its nature a conspiracy, a racket, a complex violation of IRS regs. Benghazi, no doubt, might have affected the election; Benghazi affected four people, and those four could have been killed just out of massive incompetence from a security lapse. I *do* understand the coverup of Benghazi is the big issue, but from the argumentative standpoint, that attack could happened to “anyone” and the coverup didn’t kill anyone, it was just a massive lie, like so many others.
I’m not trying to sugarcoat anything. They are both egregious, but the IRS thing is an internal hijacking of the gov’t and stands as bigger deal, as least to me it does.
Without a doubt vastly more Americans will have a personal reaction to the IRS scandal so I agree with you. The blowback to the Obama administration is potentially far more devastating.
