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!”
Getting caught was incompetence; planning the operation was (is) criminal.
> 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.
Yep. Angry that his leader got caught. Probably going to be hearing it from a lot of liberal elites this week. It’s not paranoia if it’s real...
Are you still considered a “conspiracy theorist” if your theory is factual?
Exactly right. In fact, the entire liberal left is in the same position. Do you really think liberals are upset about the government intrusion and bias towards their political enemies? No. They love it. Not so when a Republican was involved (Nixon). But now? The Horror! The President got caught and wasn't able to MANAGE this issue to avoid the political embarrassment.
We must not forget. The only reason a liberal or democrat seek to retain office is for their own power and prestige. The ends justify the means. Say and do whatever it takes to get and keep power for one's self. These scandals coming to light are not helping their cause. They will soon be forced to pick sides in order to retain their own power and prestige.
This is not “incompetence.” The IRS did not inadvertently target conservative groups. This was a willful, criminal act.
Good point, answer...no.
Gun running to drug lords - Incompetence
Economy - Incompetence and others fault
BinLaden - Bold and Brilliant Presidential stategery
Bengazi - Incompetence IRS - Incompetence Sebelius Extortion of subjects - Yet to be determined I'm starting to think we may have hired an incompetent leader that had no experience with executive responsibilities or morally based and solidly rooted values for the love of this country.
Good Point. I might take a second look at that whole Birth Certificate Conspiracy thingy.
or just angry that Obama was stupid enough to get caught...
Stewart reduces the truth into a conspiracy theory. He must love drinking the koolaid.
I love these liberals. Jon Stewart (I know he doesn’t believe this because I know his IQ is really above 10), wants us to believe that all of these happened because Obama’s Administration was totally ‘clueless’ and ‘had no idea’ what they were actually doing!!!!!
Can you believe such JS BS?????
Pretty carefully crafted.
Obama isn’t being called out, just the people who work for him.
Look for a picture of Obama being a kept man in a guilded cage being the operating meme going forward.
Jarrett’s name hasn’t been mentioned at all, ever, in any of this.
What has that woman got on everyone? I get the sense that Obama doesn’t have a BM without Jarrett approving it first.
“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.”
Hell the media has been doing this sorta thing for YEARS, thus feeding the conspiracy freaks whose batting average has been getting better and better because the MSM has been so badly failing....
Given the way that everything is the fault of the regime's subordinates (F&F, IRS, Benghazi, etc...) they must be REALLY BAD as selecting their managers.
On the other hand, more realistically, it's yet another "the dog ate my homework" excuse. Just like John Belushi in "The Blues Brothers."

Stewart said the whole tax-exempt status thing is “bulls***,” but it’s bulls*** that should be granted equally.
I actually agree with Jon on this, 5013c was dreamt up by LBJ to control, CONTROL, Religious and other oganisation because the gov can use it as a “carrot and stick” to get these oganisations to fall in line.
I disagree with Jon on WHY it is BS.
Don't you mean "Lizard" behind the moron....
