Republican political strategist Karl Rove accused the Obama administration of "hypocrisy" Wednesday, charging that a proposed change in IRS rules regarding nonprofit organizations is aimed at gagging conservative activists.

"This is clearly an attempt by the administration to discourage conservative groups," the former deputy chief of staff to President George W. Bush said on "Fox & Friends."

Well said and right on. Most of the time Conservatives don’t know how to win.

Because he is not right. O and crowd are not hypocrites. They are tyrants and enemies of the Constitution. They are open and brazen about their intentions. Rove wants to play nice with the devil. He is out of his league.

No, holding up tea party nonprofit approvals was aimed at conservatives—this one is aimed at the GOPe.

In a recent AICPA Tax Conference the acting director of the IRS stated that they are in crisis mode right now with a lot of senior people leaving.

So when they see the light, why not support them?

That's not what I see happening. They are not seeing the light, they're angry
because the damage isn't happening fast enough to transform America into the
utopian cesspool they dream of so badly. And most Libs have no clue what that means.

Rove suddenly notices what it’s like to be a gored ox.

Karl Rove is PLEASED because he's all about muzzling conservatives and the TEA Party. That's what big government statists like him do. Unfortunately for Rove, Barry is NOT your friend and he's biding his time before he can silence you for good. Karma has a way of biting back, Karl.

Tokyo Rove suffers from the same affliction as other Republican "leaders." They still believe that when they are dealing with Democrats, they are dealing with honorable people. As the song says, when will they ever learn?
