The IRS is only part of it.
I think it’s true that Obama only had to signal his perceived enemies by mentioning them publicly, but I don’t buy the argument that the audits, etc. were nothing but the uncoordinated, unplanned response of underlings trying to be helpful.
This is an Alinskyite strategy and was planned at the very top, probably with the help of Ayers (a regular WH visitor), Axelrod, Rahm Emmanuel (remember him?) and Jarrett. Obama isn’t smart enough to come up with the plans on his own, but he’s very good at using his public persona to carry them out. He did the same in Chicago, tarring his “enemies” while spouting his community organizer rhetoric and also busily delving into and releasing their divorce records, property tax records and anything else he could use to destroy them.
Especially Jarrett. Saw a clip on the news yesterday evening of Obama and military people discussing sexual harassment in the ranks. Who is sitting in the midst of them all? Valerie Jarrett!!!! She runs everything? I read that Valerie told the military to stand down the night of the Benghazi attack. Valerie finally gave the go-ahead for killing Bin Laden. I want Valerie Jarrett banished from the White House!!!!
