You are missing the point about the Obama strategy, even though it is currently playing out before your eyes with the IRS scandal against conservatives. They fully expect to get slapped down, but by that time, the implicit threat has already been established. Most people on the right do not put a priority on agitating, so they will just stay silent rather than risk any potential hassle.
I think there is more to the IRS scandal than most people realize.
I think the IRS targeting the TEA Party was part of the orchestrated demonization campaign launched against the TEA Party by the Obama WH, dems operatives, and the MSM claiming the TEA Party was a bunch of racist, ultra violent, right wing extremist Tim McVeigh wanna bees.
What a coincidence.
On May 1, 2011 there was an attempted car bombing in NYC.
Because it was a fertilizer bomb the left all said “our talking points about the TEA Party being violent were correct”.
I don’t think Zippo ever intended to get reelected until the attack in Libya was screwed up then he had to get reelected to cover it up.
I believe they are trying to fool people into believing the IRS started targeted conservatives years ago to get Zippo reelected and to cover up the massive voter fraud that actually got him reelected when it became necessary for the Libya cover up.
There has to be a reason why the IRS jumped up out of the blue and admitted to targeting conservatives.
There is something worse they are cover up.
