Larry Connors, a veteran local news anchor at KMOV Channel 4 in St. Louis, says that the Internal Revenue Service has been targeting him since an April 2012 interview he conducted with President Obama -- a fact that he dismissed as coincidence until the recent reports about the IRS targeting conservative groups.
"Shortly after I did my April 2012 interview with President Obama, my wife, friends and some viewers suggested that I might need to watch out for the IRS. I don't accept 'conspiracy theories', but I do know that almost immediately after the interview, the IRS started hammering me," Connors wrote on his Facebook page late Monday night.
Connors did not specify how the IRS has been "hammering" him. He did not immediately respond to a request for clarification.
According to his account, his questions for Obama touched on the economy and spending but were not exceptional in nature. But following "allegations that the IRS focused on various groups and/or individuals questioning or criticizing government spending, taxes, debt or how the government is run," Connors now believes there may be a possible connection.
"Can I prove it? At this time, no," he wrote. "But it is a fact that since that April 2012 interview ... the IRS has been pressuring me."

Pingaling.
Welcome to the Fascism of ObamaLand, Larry.
I’m afraid to comment out of fear the DOJ is monitoring and the the IRS will audit me.
I assume Holder has his people monitoring, and I would not be surprised by (another) audit. I don't care, not much at least. (1) Free speech is more important than the inconvenience of the IRS's harassment, and (2) they have never found any significant discrepancies in my returns. If they are going to selectively persecute conservatives, I'm okay with being one of the victims.
No interviews are acceptable except those which magnify the goodness and wisdom of Dear Leader.
