"The IRS cannot target or intimidate any individual or organization based on their political beliefs," Cantor said on Friday. "The House will investigate this matter." Lois Lerner, the chief IRS official responsible for tax-exempt organizations, said the the IRS targeted groups that had the words "Tea Party" or "Patriots" in their names and that doing so was "wrong."

“That was absolutely incorrect, it was insensitive and it was inappropriate,” Lerner said. “That’s not how we go about selecting cases for further review.”

Lerner forgot the word “illegal”.

I guess we all just keep hoping...and PRAYING..that at some point..the scandals, Fast and the furious, Benghazi, IRSgate..will just keep building until the MSM will either have to go FULL pravda mode and be honest about it—or they will finally begin to do their jobs and abandon O and his minions....

We can hope for it, at least.

I’m sure conservatives will be flagged for “special healthcare” by some nameless bureaucrats, if you know what I mean.

IMHO this IRS story is a canard albeit important to look into the story will lead to nowhere as designed.

The House needs to push an IRS reform act filled with popular items. This includes removing their role in healthcare and removing the ability to access bank accounts from Obamacare. Get on every network and sell the hell out of it. It’s time for our side to go on the offensive and push popular reform ideas.
