Government documents obtained by a top "Inside the Beltway" watchdog group and released on Thursday reveal that Internal Revenue Service's Lois Lerner was strongly urged by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Michigan, and Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, her assistance in attacking certain non-profit political groups. The organizations they selected for targeting by Lerner were part of the Tea Party and conservative movements.
Newly released documents revealed that Sen. Levin (left) and Sen. McCain both urged the IRS to target conservative groups in the wake of the Citizens United decision.
The group that investigates and exposes government corruption, Judicial Watch, released newly acquired IRS documents, including an email from Ms. Lerner in February 2012 requesting she “put together some training points to help them [IRS staffers] understand the potential pitfalls of revealing too much information to Congress."

I had a number of heated discussion with people here on the forum who informed me McCain was the better candidate because the other guy had made an idiotic commercial and one other mis-step. So this can’t all be laid off at the feat of the Democrats.
Free Republic needs to add a feature where we can give the idiots playing the “Hillary/Obama Boogeyman” threats a painful electric shock.
Well Said!
If I was in a shoot or be killed situation, and didn’t like the particular gun in my hand....I would fire it anyway. Which I did.
You and your ilk would throw it on the ground.
That is the problem. I’m only left to assume you like the “Obama/Hillary boogyman” quickly destroying our culture.
The problem is, ROCKLOBSTER, you and your fellow GOPe apologists fail to realize that your Party leadership are complicit in the cultural decay. So by continuing to vote for them, you are unwittingly granting them permission to bring this nation down the same road, albeit more slowly. The GOPe powers-that-be in Washington look at your loyal vote, laugh and consider you nothing more than a dupe who will keep them in power no matter what. Sorry to have to say that...
So if you were in a “gun fight” and you were holding a “nerf gun” would you engage or grab something better?
How about if you were with a group engaging another group in combat and “your guys” kept shooting you in the back, would you not abandon the traitors in favor of loyal allies?
You used a pretty screwed up analogy in your sorry attempt to drum up support for back stabbing traitors.
We were...the last election...using ballots instead of bullets.
"Our guys" (purist-retards) threw down their weapons and surrendered, letting the enemy overrun us.
Get off your high red horse.
Well now, isn’t that special.
Bad analogy. McCain is more analogous to a gun pointed back at you... Pull the trigger and shoot yourself again and again, and justify it by saying you're in a gunfight.
McCain?
I AM NOT!
RINOs are political secret agents (RATs) and need to be taken out.
unwittingly granting them permission to bring this nation down the same road, albeit more slowly
Which might have given us time to stop it.
However, your way (which is what we got) has already taken us over the cliff.
You don't really think the US is going to recover from Obama do you? (See: Thousands of Syrian "refugees" to be settled in Texas)
I posted on FR that he was pimping for the usurper and got blasted time and time again for saying such. Nothing will be done to any of those bedfellows. To think my voted for him, since he happened to be on Palin’s ticket, will be there for eternity.
Maybe we should go around and get Democrats on the record. You see they DON’T think of themselves as ‘crooks’... The New York Times or Washington Post should go out and confirm this... or trash the excuse for good.
Democrats use ‘everybody does it’ as cover. Kind of like, “What can you expect? All democrats are crooks or liars or unfaithful with massive numbers of interns...” And it’s not true.
It gives them cover when they get caught. Period.
But it’s NOT how they see themselves - until they’re caught red handed. Ask Hillary if she’s a ‘crook’. She’ll say NO. All of them will say NO... So let’s get the little jerk offs on the record. I’m tired of that excuse... tired of it being used by them, by the press and by YOU...
I don’t like McCain....
Actually this was during the primary when Republican candidates went up against each other.
I agree with your comments regarding Hillary/Obama bogey man when used in the September October time frame trying to get us to vote for the likes of McCain and Romeny. By that time it is far too little and far too late.
We need to get good Conservatives nominated. If that doesn’t happen, it simply doesn’t matter.
One dismantles the nation brick by brick and the other knocks walls down. They both wind up at the same place, the destruction of our edifice.
I didn’t give an excuse, I made an accusation. The problem is that the fox is guarding the hen house. Many of us are caught in this way of thinking...democrats vs. republicans, liberals vs conservatives. No. It’s powerful interests working with govt against the people. The other stuff is used to divide us.
It’s liberal elites and the trolls they buy...
Did you fail to notice your beloved Liberal-Republican representatives are back stabbing it’s own Conservative Base?
They promise to stand against their liberal friends and support our values. Once they’re elected the stab us in the back and break every promise.
Yet so many morons trip over themselves to promote them.
Screw every damned lying “progressive” liberal in both parties! It’s way past time to gut the GOP and start fresh.
“Our guys” (purist-retards) threw down their weapons and surrendered, letting the enemy overrun us.
Oh AND IT’S NEVER BEEN ABOUT “PURITY” YOU LIBERAL REPUBLICAN LOVING MORON!!!
It’s about “minimally acceptability.” The morons keep going with anyone who has an “R” and we get stuck with traitors who can’t wait to back stab us like your good buddy McCain (aren’t you glad you support anyone with an “r”?)!
I’d prefer Cruz, I’ll accept Walker but I’ll never vote for Bush or Christy. If we lose with running a liberal against a liberal it ain’t the fault of the Conservatives.
