The IRS?
It’s about a union: the National Treasury Employees Union. The NTEU. A left-wing union representing 150,000 employees in 31 separate government agencies, including the IRS. A union that not only endorsed President Obama for election and re-election, but a union whose current president, Colleen Kelly, was a 14-year IRS agent and now is both union president and Obama administration appointee (of which more in a moment).
It’s about 94% of NTEU union contributions going to Democrats in the Senate and House in 2012 — candidates who campaigned as vociferous opponents of the Tea Party.
And the recently released report from the Treasury Inspector General? You will not find a single reference to the NTEU. Whose members are both player and referee in the exploding controversy over the IRS targeting of conservative groups.
Which raises the obvious question: how many NTEU members were involved in the writing of the Inspector General’s report?
Even more to the point, what contact — what coordination — has the Obama White House had with their allies in the NTEU leadership as both the White House and the NTEU race to get on top of a scandal that is rapidly engulfing both?
Did I mention that the NTEU has no comment on all of this? And that when President Obama went in front of cameras to make his statement on the IRS scandal — he never once mentioned his very powerful union buddies that have the run of the IRS? Right down to the control of who gets a Blackberry? Literally.
Let’s first see how the IRS/NTEU game with the Tea Party and conservatives is played, shall we?

I emailed a link to the article to Rush, Bret Baier, The Five, and Glenn Beck. Hope it’ll catch fire.
Thank you!
They sound like petulant children! Thanks for the links! Trying to catch up this morning after crazy weather last night.
Great post!
GREAT piece. Just awesome. Thank you for posting it.
1- Fire the bastards who are remotely responsible for this
2- Sue the IRS bastards for hundreds of millions
3- When convicted and settlements are paid from taxpayers’ money, it will be an automatic cut in the IRS budget
4- If (3-) is enforced by the spineless House, the IRS must layoff agents and cut the luxurious pensions
This is the only way to punish the growing power, numbers and pensions for what is considered now COMMUNIST TYRANNICAL INSTITUTIONS. Worst of all, we are forced to PAY to enable them to abuse us more and more.
Yes, and add teacher unions to the list.
I was brought up believing We The People are the sovereigns of this Constitutional Republic. Now, in my declining years, I discover the unions are the actual sovereigns ... and the McCainiac ship's crew haven't a clue. Or do they? Whom do they work for???
....which also enjoys TAX EXEMPT STATUS.
bkmk
bttt
Who knew the IRS had a union?
LOL...somebody has been reading my posts?
OMG! Somebody go flip through my recent posting history to find the links....
Wonder if she’s related to Helen Jones-Kelley who was behind the Joe the Plumber expose’?
>>Warning to Boehner and the GOP establishment: We’re watching!!!
Yep. With knowledge comes responsibility... to do the right thing. Anything like this that is not made to weaken the opponent serves to inoculate them.
Bump
I did.
Was posting about this the day the IRS stuff broke. Check my history...
I was called a ‘disruptor’ at the time by a fellow FReeper.
Ping! I think this pulls it all together very nicely.
And get rid of the damned government workers unions. They are organized against WE THE PEOPLE!! Literally!! Huge conflict of interest.
