Full title: Stewart Destroys Obama Over IRS Scandal, Lack Of ‘Managerial Competence’: You’ve Vindicated Conspiracy Theorists

Jon Stewart mercilessly tore into the Obama administration tonight over the revelation that the Internal Revenue Service specifically targeted Tea Party groups for scrutiny. Stewart slammed the government’s lack of “managerial competence” and said that thanks to this scandal, conspiracy theorists how have a level of vindication they’ve never had before.

After briefly responding to Bill O’Reilly going after him, Stewart mockingly opined that there is no possible justification for all the wild claims conservatives have made about government overreach, only to be caught up with the IRS scandal. Stewart said the whole tax-exempt status thing is “bulls***,” but it’s bulls*** that should be granted equally.

Stewart slammed the IRS director who not only thought an apology was good enough for an IRS-related matter, but admitted she’s not good at math. Stewart snarkily replied, “That’s a good one, lady who works at the place that calculate people’s taxes!”

Stewart explained exactly why this scandal has changed the dynamic between the White House and its conservative opponents.

“Well, congratulations, President Barack Obama, Conspiracy theorists who generally can survive in anaerobic environments have just had an algae bloom dropped on their f***ing heads, thus removing the last arrow in your pro-governance quiver: skepticism about your opponents.”

Stewart argued that this scandal has now “shifted the burden of proof from the tin foil-behatted to the government,” saying that the government lacks any real “managerial competence” when it wants to do good, but when it wants to flex some malevolent muscles, “you’re f***ing Iron Man!”

Stewart, like the rest of the corrupt media, is not angry at Obama for his abuse of power. He’s angry because this exposure actually gives justification to his political enemies.

Only “managerial incompetence”?

Name anything this dork can do (besides lie about his background, education, morals, ability, talent, shoe size, etc)

He is the ultimate example of why liberal quotas yield Yugo quality.

Diversity.

This dork is perversity.

When Stewart is turned on the Dems, you know some mid-level heads will roll: they’ve brought unwelcome attention to the Party’s SOP.

No one should mistake any bad press that the Obama Regime is currently getting as a sign that the lamestream media has turned on Our Glorious Leader. They have not.

The media has a short window of a few months in which to vent against perceived slights against them by the Obama Regime and to pretend that they are providing unbiased coverage. The media will reunite behind the Obama Regime just in time for the 2014 elections.

During the months leading up the 2014 election, when the lamestream media is once again a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party, they will respond to charges of media bias by pointing out how back in 2013 they ran all sorts of hard hitting articles about the Obama Regime.

This is one of Stewart's ploys. He is distracting from Obama abandoning Americans to die, the ensuing cover up, the ensuing lies to cover up the cover up. Stewart mocked Benghazi as no big deal just last week, and made it out to be a Republcan problem.

So, tomorrow the Gollum on the Daily Show will be back to cherishing his Precious.

Pay attention to Stewart--and you don't have to watch his obscene comedy show to do it. Just read about him by doing searches--he is a bellweather. He has Media Matters in an IV tube, along with all the antibiotics he has to take to control the STDs.

Yet this same POS got elected Hussein twice — Stewart is a cynical leftist who relishes his role as Pied Piper for the “Death to America” crowd.

I think we kind of agree. I think the Party uses him to embarass/warn those who have slipped up.

This was NOT due to “incompetence”, unless they’re referring to getting caught.

This was an intentional use of the power of the State to punish and harass political opponents.

It’s what they, Leftists, do. It’s inherent in their ideology.

Stewart is more angry that the IRS has given ammunition Obama’s critics than he is at actual government overreach itself.

That’s what they are trying to AVOID getting to- they would rather attribute it to incompetance rather than malice.

What did they expect from a Chicago thug and community organizer...competence? They made a clown president, crowned him and now they expected him to do his job. That’s laughable.

They should talk to Jarrett, she’s the real man behind the moron.

This is the end may be Obama’s biggest political problem. His supporters expected him to be able to implement Socialist Utopia with flawless precision. Instead he’s been a flailing stumblebum who may end up setting their dreams back a few more decades.
