Why the IRS targeting conservatives isn't a scandal

[Quantum Windbag]

Because they are doing exactly what the Democrats want them to do.

“It is clear that we will not pass anything legislatively as long as the House of Representatives is in Republican control, but there are many things that can be done administratively by the IRS and other government agencies—we must redouble those efforts immediately,” Schumer said.

The IRS targeted everyone. Except when Bush was in office. Then they targeted the NAACP for two years.

Care to support that claim? Or will you admit to being a liar?

IRS Ends 2-Year Probe Of NAACP's Tax Status

See how that worked? I went to Google and typed in "IRS targets NAACP" and 244,000 results popped up.

But don't worry about it. I accept your apology. This time.

 

[OriginalShroom]

There is no apology coming, unless it is from you for spreading misinformation.

Now go read those articles.

Or I will save you the time.

The NAACP was investigated for violating their C-3 status at their national meeting. It was NOT directed by President Bush or anyone from the White House, as even your linked article said, but by a request by several different members of Congress, including one who is now a Liberal favorite on MSNBC.

After filing four freedom-of-information requests, NAACP lawyers discovered that far more than two members of Congress called for an investigation and that all were Republicans.

Republican Sens. Lamar Alexander (Tenn.) and Susan Collins (Maine) called for the investigation.

Others included Rep. Jo Ann S. Davis (R-Va.) and then-Rep. Larry Combest (R-Tex.). Former GOP representatives Joe Scarborough of Florida, who now hosts a talk show, and Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., currently governor of Maryland, also requested a probe.

You can hardly call Susan Collins a Radical Right Winger... She's more of a Democrat than a Republican.

So now will you admit that you lied?

That's Eric F&F Hold-em-up didn't investigate, because he would have incriminated his own Administration, again.

Nixon never even got this far. Ever. Obama has taken it to a completely different level.

A pen and a phone is all he needs to move his slimy commie agenda forward, isn't that what he said?

Maybe, but isn't that what politics are about, but they aren't making it up as you indicated, ARE THEY?

Is that what politics are about? Yes.

Are they making it up as I indicated? Since they play the victim whenever they get the chance... how can I tell?

Like most commies you don't have an intellectually honest bone in your body, Schumer said it as you admitted, but you can't say it wasn't made up.
