The Internal Revenue Service, which claims to be so understaffed that it can’t bother to collect unpaid taxes, or search backup tapes for Lois Lerner’s “missing” emails, apparently has plenty of time to read the comment threads on conservative blogs that have been critical of the agency (Hi there, IRS agents!). William Jacobson, one of the best-informed and most effective critics of the agency, writes on Legal Insurrection:

Hey, remember the Reader Poll we did about whether it was okay to follow and try to interview Lois Lerner in her neighborhood?

Do you approve of media confronting Lois Lerner in her neighborhood? (Reader Poll): (snip)

Just another Legal Insurrection fun time, right?

[PROCON]

Not a hint of corruption...

[Genoa]

Time to crank up Congress, both houses.

[kiryandil]

So THAT'S why it takes the know-nothing IRS "telephone assisters" an hour to answer your phone call...

[rottndog]

FUIRS

[Red Badger]

And just what is their legal (read CONSTITUTIONAL) justification for doing this?...............

[Diogenesis]

EXEMPT Boehner gave EXEMPT Issa a GOP Award
for letting this go, and letting Benghazi go,
and letting Fast*Furious go, and letting
the undocumented One, who made them EXEMPT, go free.

[Red Badger]

They are probably watching porn, and telling their superiors they are monitoring blogs..................

[bray]

When they do finally answer the phone you better speak ebonics.

Pray America is waking

[Leaning Right]

Time to crank up Congress, both houses.

Hard to do when the same old mushy hacks remain in leadership positions.

[inpajamas]

God is monitoring the IRS monitoring innocent citizens.

[Tenacious 1]

So the IRS is monitoring this comment?

Excellent. In that case....

I found 3, 20lbs bars of gold and Lois Lerner’s hard drive pretty close to each other. I left a note as to my identity and wareabouts with the hard drive. If you want the gold, bring me the hard drive.

...Isn’t this the way our government works these days?

John has a large mustache.
0bama has big ears.

[BenLurkin]

Moosh has a big BooTay

[SZonian]

Gestapo, STASI, KGB, etc. comes to mind...

[Lazamataz]

We are already the Soviet Union. It’s just a matter of time before the Death Squads go out.

[PROCON]

That’s why we’re well armed, Laz..

[PoloSec]

NO COMMENT!

[SaraJohnson]

Tax collectors have been despised by the public since the days Jesus walked the earth. They were corrupt back then, too. No one loves the IRS and no one has to.

[longfellow]

Who was the guy that flew his plane into the IRS building a few years ago?
Oh yeah my hero.

[unixfox]

Monitor this IRS...

I hope you all get a debilitating disease that makes you wish you were dead.

Now, GFY!
