Horse hockey. Who authorized these fishing expeditions? They should be indicted, convicted, and sent to prison. At the very least, they should be fired.

Yet another valid argument to replace the income tax with the FairTax and abolish the IRS!

Help us do that!

“Lerner said the additional scrutiny was initiated by lower-level employees working out of Cincinnati...”

If I had $1 mil, I’d bet it all that these employees are black. The IRS is a highly affirmative action employer.

Remember ..... all these folks are dues-paying members of the American Federation of Government Employees.

Federal union folks do not get fired. They get tramsferred to a different department, or a different location, but never fired.

It MAY have been a diversionary tactic to draw attention away from the deepening Benghazi scandal.

So, if I cheat on my taxes next year, all I have to do is apologize??? Cool.

Okay... I think I am adjusting to this dynamic Obama leadership thing.

I think they just want to make sure that they are not treated the same way should the shoe end up on the other foot.

"That was wrong. That was absolutely incorrect, it was insensitive, and it was inappropriate...but absolutely SOP for 'rats - get into power and then use any and every government agency and avenue to keep yourself there and destroy those who would challenge you - it's a disgrace......

Make an example of these thugs. A message needs to be sent that we are not going to take this anymore. I’ll bet they’ll squeal like pigs with the right pressure. The low-level employees aren’t going to go to jail for their higher ups. Unless, of course, Soros pays them off.

The IRS is certainly sorry, but not in the apology sense.

Why are they apologizing now? What has happened to make them confess? They aren’t under the delusion that this confession will take heat off the jerk in the white house on Benghazi are they?
