Shulman was appointed by President George W. Bush, a Republican. His 6-year term ended in November.

On Jan, 25, 2012, the criteria for flagging suspect groups was changed to, “political action type organizations involved in limiting/expanding Government, educating on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, social economic reform/movement,” the report says.

Don’t our Presidents swear an oath to protect and defend our Constitution? Or is that just another figgin’ lie they tell under oath?

Shulman may have been appointed by George Bush but FEC records show his only political campaign contributions were to the DNC.

But six months later, the IRS applied a new political test to groups that applied for tax-exempt status as “social welfare” groups, the document says. On Jan. 15, 2012 the agency decided to target “political action type organizations involved in limiting/expanding Government, educating on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, social economic reform movement.,” according to the appendix in the IG report, which was requested by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and has yet to be released.

Essentially the most powerful agency in the Federal Government (the IRS) was used against American citizens who were political opponents of Obama... BECAUSE they were political opponents...

Maybe while the Washington Post is getting the bad news out for dems - they can ask Janet why she needs over a billion bullets - when she ONLY operates within the United States... and why Homeland Security's PSA's (Public Service Announcements) feature white middle class Americans who look conservative ... I suspect Janet's targeting us too. Look at the PSA's.... they tell the story of political enemies being conservative...

The IRS is the tip of the iceberg.

Oh, and the Post needs to look into the letters they receive - letters to the editor - (especially the hateful ones) that supposedly come from conservatives. Do a feature on it... lots of those letters are written in dem war rooms and distributed.. And NO, it's NOT hard to register as a Republican when you're a democrats.

Remember the haters who carved hate messages into their own skin and tried to blame conservatives? There's hundreds' of those stories... read the police reports on these faker/haters...

Tyranny should not go unpunished. Firings and prison are called for.

This occurred in Cincinnati,Ohio. Don’t forget what Helen Jones-Kelly did to Joe the Plumber after he questioned Obama’s motives.
There’s a pattern here.

The IRS targeted Jews... I’m sure Janet did too... Those PSA’s haven’t been released yet...

Here’s a link to Homeland Security portraying conservative as terrorists because they home school... How would the Washington Post react if a liberal group had been targeted?

This should invalidate the U.S. presidential election of 2012.

Obama’s IRS targeted conservative groups during the election to rig the results of the election.
