[Democrat] McCaskill Calls For Firing Of All Involved In IRS Targeting Scandal
CBS/St. Louis ^ | May 17, 2013

Posted on 05/18/2013 9:40:55 PM PDT by grundle

WASHINGTON (KMOX) – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups.

“I’m mad. It is un-American, it is wrong, and we have to make sure that this gets fixed,” Missouri’s senior senator said. “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.”

McCaskill went on to say that the targeting of one group based on political beliefs “infuriates” her.

“We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure that they are removed from the IRS and the word goes out that this is unacceptable,” she said. “It is un-American, it is wrong, and it cannot occur again.”

Fired? More like prison.
Get out of prison card, taped conversation of Obama approving punishing his enemies by way of I.R.S.

“This is just grist for the LIV. She knows damn well that no one of any substance will be fired over this.”

McCaskill, where you you back in June 2012 when the Treasury was alerted of an inquiry of these very mishandling of applications and the abuse from the IRS. You seemed to know when to say something; you phony. You probably knew what your boss was doing. You knew about your democratic colleagues writing letters to the IRS demanding those officials there to watch specific groups as the Tea Party etc, didn't you.

Claire: crawl into a hole and DIE

She wants them fired so they can be replaced with people who are equally corrupt.

I stand with McCaskil that everyone in the ‘line’ needs to be fired and for my intentions of remedy sent to prison. I generally am very leery of anything she talks about but on this one point I can go with her.

No, Claire.

Prison.

And no more IRS.

The us government has proven itself untrustworthy to wield power, so it is time to remove their power.

Obama is the one behind the IRS rigging the election for Obama ( by suppressing tea party groups).

Yeah this democrat fails to mention the moron behind the IRS riggging the election for it.

I’m detecting the start of a trend wherein both electionwise vulnerable Democrats and those under scrutiny for their votes in vulnerable states (re turning conservative from Democratic control), are beginning to shout loudly about the various scandals (except Fast and Furious, which they have covered up so far).

This is a “panic” diversionary attack, aimed at Democrat liberal government employees who will either fall on their sword for “The Messiah”, or who can retire because they’ve made their pension’s highest payout rates.

Only when people like this leftist Ahole McCaskill demand the resignation of Holder, Jarrett, Donilon, Dempsey, Brennan, Axelrod, Pfoulfe, Carney, Kerry, Perez the racist, the heads of the IRS units involved in this scandal, those in State,CIA and/or Military who told our forces to “stand-down” instead of going to the aid of our diplomats in Libya, and all those in the White House inner circle (including those listed above), who knew about Fast & Furious, the Benghazi coverup, the IRS coverup, and the restrictions placed on our troops in Afghanistan (ROE), will I believe her and others like her (Sen. Carl Levin, a leftist in sheeps clothing; Boxer the fruitcake, Reid the liar, Pelosi the psychopath, etc).

How ‘bout we just fire the entire IRS, the tax code, and go to a simplified national sales tax?

Let everyone put some skin in the game for a change, and remove Washington’s ability to reward and punish Americans with this heinous tool.

You want to get the IRS under control Sen. McCaskill? Remove all funding to run the IRS and pay its 110,000 thug employees. I do not think they will work for free. When you've got ‘em by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.

I say defund it, shut it down and imprison those involved. No one will ever make me believe this was just a couple of low level employees. This administration sure can fool some of those who believe their intellect is superior to everyone elses.
