Gallery goes wild!!
props to MKH for finding this quickly on the Live Thread
save for later
This is so well stated that I wish the gallery had not been silenced...I was still cheering !
Don’t recognize the name. Who’s Mike Kelly? Which state, how long he’s been in Congress, is he Tea Party supported, etc.
BFL
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...

This hearing clearly revealed what deceitful liars and the level of corruption there are, from those running government.
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 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.
Great smackdown!
Rep Kelly tore Miller a new bunghole. I didn’t know Miller the a$$hat was previously the commissioner of the tax exempt division. Very interesting. And he doesn’t know anything about who or why the conservative groups were targeted!?!! (yeah...in a pig’s eye)

With a couple hours of preparation, a good trial would have ripped these witnesses a new orifice in a five minute Q & A. No speeches, just five minutes of leading questions that leave no wiggle room for BS answers. But then agian, these are politicians and as we used to say in law school, "those who lack the skills to practice law, become professors, and those who lack the skills to practice or teach law go into politics."
