“This is very chilling for the American people!” – Rep. Mike Kelly UNLOADS

The Right Scoop ^ | May 18, 2013

Wow. This was an amazing speech by Rep. Mike Kelly as he puts this IRS scandal in the proper perspective, even questioning why the IRS Commissioner isn’t outraged by this. He tells the commissioner that this is a huge scandal because it reconfirms to the American people the things they fear about dealing with the IRS and calls it a huge blow to the faith and trust the American people have in their government.

The RightScoop is a gold mine.

save for later

[3D-JOY]

This is so well stated that I wish the gallery had not been silenced...I was still cheering !

[Still Thinking]

Don’t recognize the name. Who’s Mike Kelly? Which state, how long he’s been in Congress, is he Tea Party supported, etc.

The gallery was probably standing and cheering. The IRS is so hated that the House should rewrite the rules that they can operate under. The IRS and its actions define tyranny.

arg I can’t get it to load...

I don’t know either, but he should be the new Speaker.

This hearing clearly revealed what deceitful liars and the level of corruption there are, from those running government.

[Still Thinking]

Agreed! Him in congress and Cruz as Minority Leader (soon to be Majority Leader) in Senate would be fantastic.

[Colofornian]

He nailed it. Especially his line about how when you're sitting on the other side of the IRS, an apology about shoddy performance on IRS compliance somehow doesn't cut it, yet we're supposed to be accepting of this as past "mistakes"?

As if this wasn't all done with a high level of Democrats' political intentionality?

Remember...as Rush said...Barack's half brother, a Kenyan, got his non-profit status to sail thru in less than a month...whereas it took over 3 years AVERAGE for these tea party types of groups to be approved...

And with outrageous questions demanded to boot.

The American people need to toss ALL these Democrats OUT of the admin...as they are simply stonewalling.

And, then there was this.....

“This is very chilling for the American people!”

And that was absolutely its intention, not only for those American people targeted, but for the rest as well who must wonder if we might be. This was an act of political terrorism and I use the term precisely. BTT.

I've said it in other threads. If you want to start a conservative 501c(4), name it something that sounds liberal, and salt your mission description with stuff about "community organizing for political action", "civil rights", "education voters in liberal and progressive issues" (conservative stuff is far more "liberal" and "progressive" than the groups normally associated with those words)

You'll get approved in two weeks. Then, if they ever happen to notice your group's conservative, they can't really complain because the dictionary definition of all that stuff is perfectly compatible with conservatism. They also can't complain so long as you were upfront about your intended degree of political activity because to do so is to admit the rules vary with political persuasion.

Of course, eventually they'll get wise to it, but even then since they can't tell which groups are which, they're FORCED to treat everyone the same; either abuse liberals or rubber stamp conservatives, so it's still a good outcome even at that point.

Speaker? How about Kelly for President?

Great smackdown!
