the IRS may have been casting an even wider net, and agents could have unfairly targeted groups that touted better government economic policy and debt pay-down. Also among the targeted: Groups that tried to educate about the Constitution or government policy critics

...

at least one congressional member has wondered: What about Obamacare? Do critics of Obamacare face extra layers of IRS scrutiny, also?

Of course everyone will do everything to protect the big guy who is responsible for this. People in the irs will be fired and the left will say “move on.”

What should happen is all, from the big guy on down, should lose their jobs and do jail time.

Now we know why Obomba was so cocksure of himself---when he told Putin he would "have more leverage after the election."

The Chi/mobsters ensconsed in the WH were colluding to sic the IRS on conservative groups to rig the results of the election in Obomba's favor.

A sitting US president using the power of the IRS like a 40's-era Gestapo surely invalidates the presidential election of 2012.

Let's look at reports of break-ins at the Tea Party, patriot groups, Romney or Republican hdq's during that time

An Outlaw Tax Collector
By The Editors

On March 22, 2012, IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee, which was inquiring as to whether the agency was targeting tea-party groups and other conservative organizations filing for tax-exempt status. He firmly and repeatedly denied that any such thing was happening. “There’s absolutely no targeting,” he said. A little over a year later, the IRS confirmed that it was in fact improperly targeting not only tea-party groups but also Jewish religious nonprofits and organizations inspired by Glenn Beck’s 9/12 Project....

A. This is probably bigger than Watergate.

B. Special Prosecutor is needed. Immediately

Schulman was Bush appointee...it’s possible he was out of the loop

This Current Regime now occupying the White Hut is about as subtle as a (white) elm club right between the eyes. (In the vernacular, this is sometimes referred to as a “p*ss-ellum club”, my father’s words.)

For those of you unfamiliar with this term, a club made of freshly cut white, or slippery, elm, is a heavy, sturdy instrument for delivering the full force of a roundhouse swing at the target, usually a recalcitrant mule’s poll.

Mules are known for going into a sulk and refusing to move. A good solid fetch right across the forehead with said elm club generally delivers the message to get over the sulkiness.

The Current Regime seems determined to get people to conform to their vision of a “fundamentaly transformed America”.

But if you ever get into a confrontation with a mule, better make your first blow count.

Special prosecutor law has expired. You won’t see one.

I said it this weekend, and I’ll say it again. This presents a huge opening for the House GOP to launch an IRS reform act...lessening their power, reducing their scope, simplifying the code and highlighting the IRS’s invasion into our medical decisions that the Democrats delivered through Obamacare.

I know there are detractors to the repeal of the income tax and an instatement of a NRST,

but that solution would remove the IRS’ power over the individual. Businesses already collect sales tax.

We DEFINITELY hold the cards on this. If we don’t take advantage of this situation all hope is lost.

We need to be screaming this!

I'm all for that. It would bring Obamacare to a screeching halt, for one thing.
