IRS sent unpublished info on conservative groups to investigative news outfit
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/13/13 | Sean Higgins

ProPublica, a left-leaning nonprofit organization that does investigative journalism, often sharing it with outlets like the Washington Post, offers its own revelation on the news that the Internal Revenue Service was targeting Tea Party groups. It was the recipient of some of the IRS documents. These were documents that even ProPublica admits the IRS should not have been giving out according to the agency’s own rules: The same IRS office that deliberately targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status in the run-up to the 2012 election released nine pending confidential applications of

The Government is by definition, made up of many people who support the Pro-Government Party.

Many of the apparatchiks know what what they should do to support the Left, and may do so on their own.

it is a positive feedback loop - the larger Government grows, the more its workers must protect their own interests, which feeds their big Gov’t ideology, which further narrows the diversity of thought within Government.

For those who think the media will finally begin doing their jobs, I'm listening to ABC News right now, lying through their yellow teeth about this story - leaving a quote by some unnamed person about IRS abuses affecting both ' liberal and conservative groups' totally unchallenged.

How I hate the bastards.

Me thinks that ProPublica chooses to assist the White HOuse in the one scandal they could reasonably claim to be uninvolved in.
Too much smoke in the room, donchathink?

Directional orientation of the WhiteyHut spin is trying to divert attention and focus onto a few rogue IRS folks.

If MSM doesn’t get onboard with “there’s no there, there POTUS’” Promoting “We were as surprised as you and I’m am going to find those 2 or 3 rogue IRS who took all this on by themselves”, we could be seeing a long overdue actual journalism emerge. But, I ain’t holding my breathe.

This is what fascists do.

It's also what Nixon did - and it was in the written into Nixon's impeachment documents. Nixon used the IRS to go after his political enemies. Obama and his thugs are no different...

Yes they are. They are still in power, and I suspect that they will not leave quietly.

If I am not mistaken, ProPublica is a George Soros-financed venture, designed "to provide investigative journalism to the media outlets who can no longer afford it."

Obviously, it was also designed to investigate only one particular part of the political spectrum.

I don’t know Gop, last I read up, Nixon wasn’t a fan of islam. I do believe he was American and had a love of country. I get your point, the actions taken both stink, but I do not believe there has ever been a president as evil as what we have now. Wilson, FDR, and even Clinton - but sorry, barry is in a catagory all his own. Due in large part to jarret imho.
