U.S. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said Sunday that the IRS´ admission of targeting various conservative groups for extra scrutiny was "absolutely chilling," and she called on President Barack Obama to apologize.

Susan, dear, auditing your political opponents was included in the Articles of Impeachment against Nixon 40 years ago. Article 2 section 1.

The left is NEVER prosecuted for anything anymore in this country!!! EVER! They are defacto ABOVE the law! Voter intimidation? No worries. Vote 6 times? Say you’re sorry! Steal Billions from your customers? Thats cool, no worries. Take Billions for your Green Energy Sham Company and run off. All good! Sneak into the country illegally? Bless your poor heart! Give guns away to Mexican Drug Cartels? Oopsies! The Russians warn you are a terrorist? la la la la la la la.

Bloodshed is coming! Lot of it.

Can you even imagine if....they targeted homosexuals, gays, lesbian, transgender.....liberals?

OMG this would be of epic proportions and people would be in the streets.

Where is our voice? Why are we not gathering at the steps?

When Nixon used the IRS to go after political enemies, the MSM was out with torches and pitchforks, looking for justice.

Now, when Obama uses the IRS to go after political enemies, the MSM sees nothing wrong.

Hmmmmm.

Uh... don’t hold your breath while waiting for Obama to apologize for any of his countless discriminatory policies.

This latter-day Lenin’s entire raison d’etre is to divide the American people and fan the flames of national discontent.

Of course Woodward and Bernstein, and their fellow journalists don't seem to see it, or they're just not interested in looking.

Republicans are so weak. If this were a Republican Administration lefties would be demanding beheadings and dungeons. Republicans ask for apologies. LOL, we have the most inept leaders.

I’m sick and tired of apologies. I want to see some chargs filed and some careers destroyed.
