Emails show ex-IRS official Lerner using derogatory terms for Republicans
Fox News.com ^ | July 30, 2014

Posted on 07/30/2014 4:14:12 PM PDT by Kaslin

House Republicans have dug up emails from Lois Lerner in which the former IRS official refers to some in the Republican Party as “---holes” and "crazies" – an exchange they say shows her “animus” toward conservatives.

The November 2012 emails were released Wednesday by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., as part of his renewed call for the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel to investigate. Lerner is the ex-IRS official who led the unit accused of targeting conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status for extra scrutiny.

In the email exchange, Lerner appears to be chatting with another unidentified individual about a vacation in Great Britain. She describes how she overheard “some ladies” talking about how America is “going down the tubes.”

The person she tells this to responds that “you should hear the whacko wing of the GOP. The US is through; too many foreigners sucking the teat; time to hunker down, buy ammo and food, and prepare for the end. The right wing radio shows are scary to listen to.”

I think any of us would pay to be there when Trey rips her apart.

Like I tell my granddaughter, never write anything that you wouldn’t want to see on the front page of the newspaper.

Yes, but unlike Lerner you don’t use it in a public forum or in an email.

As for crazies and scary right wing radio, methinks they should be worrying about something important, but such is the lay of the land in leftistville. They seem to be just as easily distracted as the eGOP.

She really does not want to know what we think of leftist or progressives.

Her only hope lies in Republican stupidity or an Obama pardon. You guess.

I believe she has obstructed justice, tampered with evidence, destroyed evidence violated numerous IRS criminal statutes in the unauthorized dispensation of tax return information and she should ROT in prison.She should be sued under the section 1983 of the civil rights act for violation of the civil rights of taxpayers using the “color of law”. This piddling around with her needs to stop. A federal Judge can and should appoint a special prosecutor and nail her fat ass.
