And by extension, Obama administration defenders are still peddling bogus talking points.

Didn't the New York Times just issue a scathing article on Kathryn Ruemmler, White House Counsel? The office that Lanny Davis once occupiied?

Perhaps there is no either/or here: 1.) Either the White House/Treasury Dept is full of a bunch of bunglers, or 2.) there was something nefarious afoot - in which case the MSM seems to want to take the former and run with the talking points.

But perhaps this is a case of both/and and not either/or:

Was something nefarious affot, and yet the White House/Treasury Department still managed to bungle its handling of it?

I guess perhaps in time we will see which of the two is true?

Protest Obama’s IRS at your local IRS Office or Post Office at Noon, May 21.

Gadsden Flags are optional.

Who said there was a surge? Obama’s minions trying to say it was overwork?

We know FOR A FACT there WAS a surge in denial of TEA party applications, though

Are they answering a question no one asked? Or trying to make an excuse, that once again turns out to be false

Obama’s brother had no problems.

**************

IRS official Lerner speedily approved exemption for Obama brother’s charity.

Excerpt:
Lois Lerner, the senior IRS official at the center of the decision to target tea party groups for burdensome tax scrutiny, signed paperwork granting tax-exempt status to the Barack H. Obama Foundation, a shady charity headed by the president’s half-brother that operated illegally for years.

According to the organization’s filings, Lerner approved the foundation’s tax status within a month of filing, an unprecedented timeline that stands in stark contrast to conservative organizations that have been waiting for more than three years, in some cases, for approval./

What? Obama’s professional liars trying to hoodwink the low-information voters again?

They are making do even though Susan Rice, acting as the administration’s Aunt Jemima, isn’t available to serve up a steaming platter of fluffy lies for the American people to digest as she did after the Benghazi murders.

I heard the EPA is just as bad as IRS. Over 80% of liberal groups got their fees waived and over 80% of conservatives and corporations did not.

You might say that the IRS and EPA tries to load “the wagon” to punish us who are pulling “the wagon.”

Taxation above a Tithe is punitive.

Support a 10 % FLAT TAX for ALL!
