One of the released documents is a Lerner email from 2013 that she was willing to 'take a bullet" for Obama and his White House for the IRS scandal and that she understood why the targeting of Tea Party organizations and other conservative groups may raise questions regarding what did President Obama know and when did he know it. Obama had told the press that he first read about the IRS targeting of conservatives in the newspaper.

This is the reason the IRS scandal has went nowhere.

Top ranking republicans were in on the scheme.

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.

McCain is going to be running for office again. A commercial that exposes this "bipartisan deal" might actually get rid of this hater of all that is good once and for all.

On a side note, doesn't it seem queer (word chosen on purpose) how close he and Lindsey Graham are? I mean, they seem a little too close to just be friends or coworkers if you ask me. Something just doesn't seem right there.

Sen. McCain and Sen. Levin urged IRS to target Tea Party, conservative groups

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."

One of the released documents is a Lerner email from 2013 that she was willing to 'take a bullet" for Obama and his White House for the IRS scandal and that she understood why the targeting of Tea Party organizations and other conservative groups may raise questions - regarding what did President Obama know and when did he know it. - Obama had told the press that he first read about the IRS targeting of conservatives in the newspaper.

I admire Captain McCain the pilot. He acquitted himself with honor. As son of “Admiral McCain he was singled out for particularly harsh interrogation and torture. He acquitted himself with honor. I wish I were half the man that Pilot John McCain was.

I am ten times the man of Senator McCain. What the hell happened to that great warrior of the air when he went into politics. His record in the air and as a prisoner of war is one of glory. His record as a politician is one of great shame. I would gladly shake the hand of Captain McCain and feel honored. I do not want to be in the same room with Senator McCain, as I only need to take a bath in the morning.

who is the best alternative to primary McCain?

I need to send some money to him.

This guy has been crooked since the Keating Five and has been hiding behind his military image.

The last time the fat commie pig Levin showed up in my congressional Michigan district, ca 1989, he barely escaped. The state had to call out the National Guard to clear out an escape route.

Just wondering if Sarah Palin will continue to support McCain or will back his challenger instead.

Both parties are united in their hatred of Conservatives. Meanwhile a bunch of idiots here accuse us of “supporting Hillary” when we reject the Liberals within the Republican party.

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.
