MSNBC host Krystal Ball excused the actions of IRS agents who targeted conservative organizations seeking tax-exempt status on The Last Word Monday night, saying budget cuts left them without the resources to do their jobs and they had to enforce the law as they understood it.
The other big story here I think that has been missed in the press is the fact that the IRS budget has been cut to the point that these agents cant do their jobs, she said. They do not have the resources to do their jobs, so they were trying with the limited resources they have to enforce the law as they understood it. It was not proper, but you can understand with what theyre working with, why they went in that direction.
Balls implication: agents had no nefarious motives but, because of budget cuts, misinterpreted the law which led them to single out groups bearing words like Tea Party, Patriot and Constitution in their titles for additional scrutiny.

Does she realize her ‘defense’ is even more damning of their actions? Not the effect she intended I imagine.
If they didn’t spend all that money on folly! Get rid of the IRS, that would solve the money problems.
Ball is a ditzy loon.
Krystal Ball? Is MSNBC’S hiring pornstars now. Her logic is so twisted if applied to Hitler he would win Nobel Peace Prize.

What happened?
The IRS didn't get their expected budget increase?
What year?
2009?
2010?
2012?
2013?
Does your IQ allow you to back up absurd assertions?
The IRS started targeting Conservatives in 2010, tell me, what kind of budget cuts were happening then? And how come these cuts only had Conservative groups being targeted and the liberal ones getting tax exempt status..the left making excuses for this just shows how disgusting liberals are, which I always knew but thanks lefties for the confirmation
Krystal Ball
Seriously
but the IRS had 50 million for conferences and parody films
Seriously... I had to look to see if this was satire...
and OMG it’s not
Amazingly, it’s still not the stupidest thing she’s ever said/done (which is above)
Why am I not surprised there is someone they actually pay a salary to on MSNBC with the name Krystal Ball...
To call her an idiot would be an insult to real idiots.
Is this woman an Obama sister?
Consider the Crystals of “progressive” MSNBC, how their noses grow: yet they toil not, but boy howdy do they spin.
Further proof that liberalism is demonic. No other explanation for such bizarre thinking and logic.
