From the article, I find this quote unbelievable

"The IRS has since apologized for its behavior, but insisted the targeting was a mistake born of overzealous employees confused by the law rather than a politically motivated attempt to stifle conservatives".

:bsflag:

Only the Obama administration could receive such a verbal thrashing by the court. Maybe Lois can give up the 5th?

Obama will do anything to carry on his American hateful agenda. He really hates it here no doubt.

“The lawyers in the Department of Justice have a long and storied tradition of defending the nation’s interests and enforcing its laws — all of them, not just selective ones — in a manner worthy of the Department’s name. The conduct of the IRS’s attorneys in the district court falls outside that tradition,” Judge Raymond Kethledge wrote in a unanimous opinion for a three-judge panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. “We expect that the IRS will do better going forward.”

Justice Department officials declined to comment on the judicial drubbing, and the IRS didn’t respond to a request for comment on the unusually strong language Judge Kethledge used.

The case stems from the IRS‘ decision in 2010 to begin subjecting tea party and conservative groups to intrusive scrutiny when they applied for nonprofit status.

An inspector general found several hundred groups were asked inappropriate questions about their members’ activities, their fundraising and their political leanings.

In America today, the executive branch can commit illegal acts and no one goes to jail. Does not bode well for the future.
 
Obama blew the whistle to call in the dogs of the IRS. He attacked us, Americans for Prosperity, on multiple fronts.

Liberals like to say that Conservative are scared, of terrorism, illegal immigration, crime and so on those thing at most worry me. The Government using its power to single out a specific group because of political beliefs is terrifying. If the Fed believe it can get away with this sort of thing how long after will we start to see political prisoners ?
 
The biggest mistake the IRS made was apologizing for doing its job.

The Tea Party was engaging in tax fraud. The IRS's job is to catch tax fraudsters.
Joe it is too early for your silliness.

Get back on your knees and finish the JOB, before posting your BS.

You'll need to prove that, I won't wait because it's BS

Well, no, I don't. I can actually read the law. there's a difference between political non-profits and charity non-profits. The Teabagging groups lied about what kind they were to hide who their donors were.

Joe it is too early for your silliness.

Guy, you need to stop posting your sexual fantasies here. There are all sorts of porn sites that will more than handle your fetish.

Gee I wonder why the IRS hasn't went after Sharpton, he owes millions.

He has also entered an agreement to pay that, just like a lot of rich people who owe back taxes adn aren't paying a fraction of what they owe.

Now, the real problem is not the IRS. The real problem is that we have allowed money to be equated to speech.

YOu seem to spend a lot of time thinking about Obama's anatomy.

Just saying.

Sadly, the GOP spends too much time appealling to people like you. Which is why they are losing right now.
But Joey...you spend ALL your time with Obama's anatomy.

and Joe you know full well the GOP offers nothing appealing to me...but the Ds offer you free shit, so that appeals to you.

Naw, guy, the D's appeal to me because they expose what selfish and self-absorbed narcissists inhabit your side.
Hey Joe, when news of your torrid love affair with Obama when he was in Chicago years ago gets out, you are going to be in big trouble.

I hope you kept that blue stained....shirt.

I didn't vote for Obama in 2004 or 2008. I only voted for him in 2012 because you morons let the Mormons hijack your party. This year it's going to be "Reality TV". I hope you all get your shit together.
