IRS targeting enemies of Democrats: What difference does it make now?
Vanity | 14 May 2013 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

So, the IRS targeted conservatives, the administration spied on the media and lied about Benghazi. Some of this occurred prior to the election, I'm pretty sure. So, What difference does it make now? He's still president, he's not going to resign, and the Godless, immoral ones of the U.S. will not allow him to be impeached.

Exactly, most of them don't even pay taxes anyway. They do not care who the IRS is targeting. When have you heard of that level of people getting audited?

I dunno, let’s see...

The Watergate break-in occurred in June of 1972; Nixon was re-elected in November of that year, and started his second term in January 1973. He resigned in August 1974.

I don’t recall anyone making the argument “What difference does it make now” as the scandal heated up in the spring of 1973, even though Nixon had been re-elected six months earlier.

True, most low info voters view the IRS as "where my taxes come FROM - ie the place that mails them a check once per year. None the less, we have to make an effort to show as many people as possible how it affects them - we cannot just lie down and say "whatever" and let it pass.

We can tie him down with his scandals so he can’t destroy anything with new legislation.

Think Gulliver.

Well, Hillary just used that line and the press didn't say much.

We have to push for the truth to come out. The obstacles are the 50% of the American people who still have their head up their a$$, and the media/leftist complex which will do everything possible to protect the man they got elected.

Not when she was working on Watergate back in 1974 she didn't.

Were you being ironic in your original post?

I have been lurking on the krazy dem blogs, and the MSM websites and it seems to me that this is one issue that crosses a line with the libs. For one, it is something that they pasted Nixon for doing, and they don’t want to be hypocrites, now. Also, it is something they believe they have been unfairly targeted with in the 1960’s re: Weather Underground and other lib groups being investigated, (rightly so, IMO). It is very ‘McCarthyish’ to them. They are all too aware that if it can happen to their enemies, it can happen to them.

The average low info voter doesn’t care about foreign stuff, (Ben Gazi who?), but does understand the IRS.

It makes a difference when a President of the United States running for re-election adopts the practice of dictators by using government agencies to attack and intimidate his opponents.

We did not have a fair election last year.

And Obama’s IRS did not only go after Conservatives, it also went after Jewish organizations. This type of harassment was one of the Third Reich’s intermediate solutions to the Jewish question, which, since the Jews didn’t fight back, led to the Final Solution.

Even the Nazi defendents at Nuremberg didn’t try to lessen their crimes by asking Hillary-esque questions like, ‘’What difference does it make now?’’

I have a different theory.

This IRS thing not a problem for Obama; his endgame is Cloward-Piven.

If he destroys the last shred of faith any of us have in an impartial IRS, then he's done his job**

** Having already destroyed organized religion, the Judiciary, unions, etc, etc, etc.

Also in 1973 came the first arab oil embargo. What’s happening now is the inverse of that first oil shock..........

US shale energy creates global oil ‘supply shock’
Booming oil production in North America brought on by the shale energy revolution has created a global “supply shock” that is reshaping the industry, the International Energy Agency said on Tuesday.

Too bad Muslims don’t hate the IRS as much as real Americans.

Maybe they need maps to the IRS buildings. What could go wrong they are the ROP after all.

The low information voters pay no taxes so have no interaction with the IRS whatsoever.
David Dinkins didn't even bother to file for 11 years, and everyone was okay with that.
