House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) said the House will investigate the IRS after the agency admitted to and apologized on Friday for targeting Tea Party and conservative groups during the 2012 election. "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."

Ah, just how deep these communists have infiltrated government.
Misquoting Coach Jim Valvano: Don’t ever quit screaming, don’t ever quit screaming, don’t ever quit screaming!
Good idea !
Conservatives and enemies of the state and ostoner first selectevly persecuted and prosecuted then denied health care then shelter and food.
This regime does not have self imposed limits. They have to be stopped. There is only one way to stop a snake.
This story just broke out waaaayy too easily ....highly suspect
The Repubs need to grow a pair and team with friendly local and state LEO to get arrest warrants for RICO against these IRS agents and up the RAT chain of command. That will permit confiscation of IRS agent assets to compensate those who were harmed. Dare Holder to interfere with threat of the kind of arrest that terrorists get.
People are losing faith in democrats... this kind of stuff - exposing who dems really are - keeps the process going.
Yep....the administration is desperate if they will breathe new life into another scandal to keep the focus off the big scandal.
It is all building though to one unmistakable conclusion....this is the most corrupt and traitorous administration in this history of this country. The abuses of power are so beyond Watergate it is beyond belief.
Keep praying folks.....God is revealing all!
Didn’t they accuse Nixon of using the IRS against his enemies?
Yeah they did, but that was totally different because he was a Republican.
Yes..article 2 in his articles of impeachment.
This is serious stuff..no doubt about it and should be pursued vigorously.
This is actually going on in every executive branch of government though.
DHS targeting conservatives, Christians, tea party people
FBI targeting same
EPA targeting conservative manufacturers and landowners
I forget who was responsible for targeting conservative owned dealerships during the GM bailout.
The list goes on and on.
Kill the BATFE (funding) first.
Agreed.
Start at the bottom, let them know someone is going down hard to get them to talk. Offer immunity and take it up the chain of command.
Start by letting everyone know someone MUST hang for this, if we are anywhere close to the representative Republic we are suppose to be.
And DON’T let this divert from the Benghazi investigation.
Expect that the administration will go into full damage control, so this all has to be loud and constant.
Write your congressmen. Especially if they are Democrats. Isolate Obama from those helping his defense.
Call me a cynic, but I don’t see the House investigating ANYTHING resulting in ANYTHING.
How I LOATHE these POSs. Every last one of them! (OK - a FEW exceptions...but VERY few!)
Good ideas all!!
why isn’t this simply turned over to a prosecutor? no reason for a congressional investigation, folks need jail time for this crime. And, a RICO investigation at that.
Using selective law enforcement for political purposes is what happens when popular elections determine the leaders.
