The signs keep accumulating that the IRS scandal is worse than liberals are willing to concede.
On Bill Press's radio show yesterday, a reporter with left-leaning Politico told Press that the Internal Revenue Service dragging its feet on applications for tax-exempt status from tea party groups probably affected the outcome of last year's election. (Video after the jump)
Here's what Politico's Lauren French told Press (audio) --
PRESS: So, Lauren, you've been covering this IRS scandal. How big is it really? How serious is it really, do you think?
FRENCH: I think it's really serious, depending on the groups that were targeted, you could say that this easily influenced the 2012 election. A lot of these groups' applications were delayed to the point that they weren't able to get their tax-exempt status until after the election and depending ...
One can't help but wonder if liberals are secretly ecstatic over what the IRS did, though they would never admit it. The scofflaws at the agency who targeted the tea party did more than make news with this scandal. They may have altered history.

Oh look. The lesser evil cheer squad appears on que.
You are correct. Politico is essentially where Washington Post dumps its rejects.
Mark Levin always announces it as “that phony internet news site, Politico”
Than don’t complain about Obama. Those who demanded perfect conservatives helped elect him.
I always thought so. You never know. Who knows what their tactics are.
:)
Yet, according to lib media, because a Bush appointee was in charge at the time, it’s all good, and we shouldn’t be whining about it.
Ode to a RINO...
Tell me does the Stupid Burn?
I really want to know.
So many excuses that I hear,
Just bouncing to and fro
I hear it’s quite conservative
And rainbows lead the way
In front of tanks and planes and bombs,
To make our soldiers Gay
Likewise today around the right,
Lets make a choice severe,
Abort unwanted children,
Adopt them to a queer!
And what about the guns you own?
What did supporters say?
It truly must be Reaganesque,
To take them all away!
For shame the bitter clingers,
With Bibles by the bed.
Believe instead in Steve and Bob,
Whose right we’ll make to wed.
Such was the choice the GOP,
Bequeathed to us to vote.
Our patriotic duty,
Just hold your nose and choke.
Alas I am not stupid.
I do not feel the burn.
But come election season,
I fear they will not learn.
Another leftist RINO,
Or Democrat they’ll pass
Upon the the right wing public,
Well they can kiss my ass.
hopefully this will make the balance of his term such that he will witness the total destruction of his legacy, and his programs.
I think you’ll get your wish. We had that anti tyranny electorate in 2010, and I think we would have in 2014 anway, but now, with all of this, I think even more so.
If not, 2016 won’t matter...
Oh look, a person that is responsible for Obama being in office.
Closet liberal here, look closely at his blithering idiocy.
I want to know the geographical implications.
Were the targets in Counties/States that just needed a “nudge” to tip the Electoral vote?
I think we need a laugh. Try this

You still didn’t explain how my vote ended up in his vote total. Until then grow up and stop having tantrums around adults.
WHAT? THAT WAS THE PRIMARY MOTIVE FOR THE TARGETING!!
0bama wins. NOW the IRS scandal can be exposed.
0bama wins. NOW the Benghazi 'YouTube video' LIE can be exposed.
0bama wins. NOW the DOJ spying on the press can be exposed.
0bama wins. NOW it's no longer a secret that Benjamin Rhodes and David Rhodes are brothers!.. "Grab the transcript, Candy!".. You think THAT wasn't scripted in advance by the Rhodes brothers?
I saw an article that showed just such a plan as you describe. I don’t know where it is now
In regards to the tea party, I think it was a full targetting. No precision.
However, there is no question in my mind that the Democrats were very specific in which counties to focus on for that small edge to make all the difference.
But these are the folks who decry any reason for not allowing people to vote as disenfranchisement. How can you vote if the info can’t get to you to decide how to vote? That is disenfranchisement also.
No doubt. But the ‘non targeted’ so to speak areas give them cover to say ‘oh it was all random’ or some other BS. Not that it will help, just cloud the issue.
