Someone signed that directive.
Yes Lurker, you and I know that... the press would know it too if they bothered to ask a few questions - or just took their heads out of the sand...
Had the IRS had targeted gay groups the New York Times would understand and be 'flooding the zone'. If blacks had been profiled in this fashion by the IRS, the Washington Post would get it - and be outraged.
Liberals aren't fooling anyone - not even themselves. We know they understand.
Whites in the Jim Crow South knew they were discriminating against blacks when difficult written test were required for blacks to vote. While southern whites just walked in and signed a card. Small minded thugs did it to blacks because they could get away with it - and because they were petty totalitarians.
The IRS knew they were discriminating when the Tea Party had to fill out impossible forms while liberal elites just 'walked in' and signed a card.
And the folks in the press? They're lying... they get what's going on - they're just standing with the racists of old and the thugs of our day...
