Money quote from the Article:
“I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election,as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.”
When your philosophy cannot stand in the arena of ideas, you must silence all opposition.
We see this in the IRS scandal....
We see this in the AP/FoxNews scandal...
And we see this in the intimidation tactics of the DHS...
I keep bringing up the DHS, because the truth is somebody in DHS is issuing orders of intimidation against peaceful protesters and we are either going to let this continue or we are going to demand they stop targeting Tea Party, Catholics, Pro-life groups, etc. We chuckle to ourselves about this targeting by DHS, but folks ...wake-up they are not playing games. They are deliberately trying to provoke an incident to have a reason to crackdown. We either understand this intimidation by the government is a violation of our Rights or we don’t really understand our Rights.
Time to get rid of regularly scheduled elections and do RECALL ELECTIONS at any time!!! It’s time to recall this President — he has earned a vote of NO CONFIDENCE
Any government employee that testifies that "I don't know" When they are in charge and paid very well to oversee the department they are running, then should be required to return ALL money they have received.
It might trigger some memory. . . . .
To understand leftists, you have to understand that with them there is no right or wrong. There is only what promotes the cause.
IF LIBERALISM IS SO DAMN WONDERFUL WHY DO THEY HAVE TO RESORT TO THESE TACTICS TO FORCE IT ON US?
All they have to do is point to all the other socialist paradises (like Russia, or China, or North Korea, or ...)
The IRS was trying to put them out of business.

I would say they did a pretty good job of it.
The problem is Obama voters in Government.
In Japan they start educating their Government workers in grade school, they pick the brightest and work with them.
Here we pick people to work in Government from the bottom of the class rolls. We get people who cannot find work anywhere else. We get them by Affirmative Action.
When you fill an agency with them it is natural they work for what benefits them. The on top of that we let them join a Union which gives money to support a Boss that will give them more Bennies.
The rot is in every single agency, and all three branches, and both political parties.
That's how we wound up with a Kenyan, affirmative-action usurper squatting in the White House with his forged birth certificate, forged selective service form, and his stolen social security numbers.
Every government agency went along with the fraud.
So much for the birthers being conspiracy nuts. There were no shortage of criminals in the government (State and Federal) who were willing to help him out.
Where are all the people who kept saying that there would have to be a GIANT CONSPIRACY of people for the birthers to be correct? Well here you are. The FRICKIN' IRS conspired against the right and the Tea Party. The FRICKEN' IRS. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that many, many people have been conspiring for a while now and that's just the tip of the iceberg here.
We elect people to Congress to represent us. If government employees lie to the Congress, then they are lying to us.
Rick Santelli,one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague,was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election,as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.
+++++++++++
With all due respect to Kudlow and Santelli, it has been common knowledge here at FR for some time that defunding the Tea Parties during the 2012 election cycle was the driver behind the actions taken by the IRS.
Watergate in 1972 was about political dirty tricks. So is this. Appoint a special prosecutor now. It will save millions and perhaps billions of dollars.
2014 could very well the revenge of the TP movement election.
The sleaze at the IRS is only one tiny facet of the problem. For example, Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs has the goods on Lois Lerner's role in the Obama election apparat during her previous job at the FEC. As head of the Enforcement Division of the FEC it was her role to not investigate the mountain of illegal overseas money rolling into the Obama campaign coffers, Remember this sort of thing?
Our government is now riddled with these bolshevik termites eating away at the substance of what the Founders created.
Of course it does.
What’s all this “appears” crap?
Reward your friends, punish your enemies.
And it’s a lot more than the EPA, the IRS, the AP and the State Department. This are just the starters.
We have been denied access to our house at 1600 Pennsylvania.
When was the last time you saw ammo at Walmart?
We’re sending millions in `school aid’ to one of the most corrupt nations in Africa, when 80% of a NYC school are functionally illiterate.
Underneath it all—reptilian space alien, Valerie Jarrett, and her Borg-figurehead boss.
They Live! Obey. Conform. Submit.
Flag@whitehouse.gov snitch line from 2009
Please remember to bring up this article from the 2009 era. This might be important to the IRS scandal. The White House snitch line. It’s not active today but its records need to be looked at for a reason the IRS went after the Tea party.
http://voices.yahoo.com/flagwhitehousegov-snitch-line-3984140.html
This should be the first item on the subpoena list to the White House
So where is the Judge John Sirica when we need one?
It's time to launch a series of Country-wide Tea Party rallies to begin this process. I love this picture of a Tea Party rally, attended by Sarah Palin, in Searchlight, NV in March of 2010. It says it all .....
Let's Roll!!!
