GOP Rep. Mike Kelly was a huge hit at Friday’s House hearing on IRS harassment of conservative groups as he skewered acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller.

Some tasty highlights from his fiery rant:

Rep Kelly to Miller: You think this is uncomfortable? Try being a citizen being targeted by the IRS.

Kelly: "This confirms that the #IRS can do anything they want, anytime they want, to anyone they want. "

"Where you're sitting, you should be outraged, but you're not." Rep, Kelly to Miller #IRS #Waysandmeanscommittee

"Is there any limit to the scope as to where you folks can go? … It's sure as hell intimidating." - Rep Kelly #IRS

Finally saw it. An amazing rant and it felt like he was speaking for all of us. Very well said. Loved the standing ovation. Abolish the IRS and go for a Flat Tax or Fair Tax.

This, and 1000 other things, is evidence that Obama has Declared War on the American People!

We shall Resist. Pray for America and Prepare!

You win the internet!

Add it up....70,000 pages plus, which make up the code. Your Senators over the past ninety years have added a paragraph here and there. No expert really exists.

I’d see a reason now to split the IRS over...a personal tax crew, an industrial tax crew, and a medical insurance crew. No one single person in front of any of them. And I’d even suggest a national audit agency, independent of IRS to continually look at their failings....firing people who just aren’t up to the job.

If there ever was a reason for having a flat tax....this is it. The least amount of intrusion into a citizen’s life....is preferred.

There will be pretty much no consequences under Obama...because he gave the order.

Great rant!

I didn't do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can't prove anything.

I agree, but unlikely. Politicians love having their hands on the levers of power. It makes them all rich, or their friends. And their friends share.

That was a standing ovation moment..I loved what happened..I say nail the filthy swine to the wall along with their master..

A Tea Party Group here in the Houston area came under attack. King Street Patriots were audited by the IRS and FBI. The presidents private business was audited by OSHA, EPA and BATF.

This goes all the way up to the top. These organizations are supposed to be apolitical. They were given marching orders.

The full weight of the federal government came down on the King Street Patriots...citizens of the U.S.. This buck STOPS with Obozo!

Bengahzi, Federal agencies used for intimidation, 1st amendment rights trampled during AP scandal.

This didn't just start with Obozo. Clinton utilized the IRS to attack woman that spoke out in regards to Clinton's sexual advances. Is it no wonder folks distrust Washington?

It IS time to scale back the size and scope of the federal government! The IRS should be abolished! It is an anti-american organization. Enough is enough.

Call, write your senators and reps. Demand independent investigations and demand the IRS be shut down and tax code restructured.

The full weight of the federal government came down on the King Street Patriots...citizens of the U.S..

And that is why the Federal government must be a small thing, so that it is 'weak' and light and easy to bear.

The mortar is coming loose from the bricks. More and more is going to come out, and threads will tie together, one after another, ever leading up the chain to the West Wing. The genie is out of the bottle, and isn't going away.

I hope & pray so. I would LOVE to see that RAT bastard commie muzlim pig 0bama frog-marched in shackles out of the WH. Biden is dumber than dirt, but I would rather see stupidity (Biden) in the WH rather than pure malice & evil (Odumb).
