Republicans Expand I.R.S. Inquiry, With Eye on White House

Just advice, not scolding at all. The Republicans overstepped their bounds back when they tried to impeach Bill Clinton and they paid for it in the 1998 mid term elections. Sure they only lost 5 House seats, but that was the first time since 1822 that the party out of power failed to gain seats in the mid term election of a presidents second term.

There is an old saying, those who do not learn from history will commit its same mistakes again and again. Besides their is not R or D next to my name. I distrust both parties. But this was just a warning from shall I say, a third party.

still would like you or any one else that reads this to answer my question

how in the hell do you ask a question that the answer will be damaging to Obama and have it not be considered scoring political points and being accused of doing so?
 
As I said, I don't condone it, I would like to point out though that the majority of this occurred under a Bush appointed commissioner.

Then you don't "condone" it, you just make excuses and attempt to blame Bush. It's a bit pathetic.
 
I still don't see the problem with anything the IRS did.
They were suspicious of and investigated political groups whose main platform is to stop all taxes.
If anyone is going to defraud the government on their tax activities it would be the TEA Party.
I believe that anyone belonging to any TEA Party organization should automatically be audited.

Well its a good thing your not in charge because what you are suggesting is a civil rights violation. It wasn't just tea party organizations that were targeted. It was individuals who happened to be conservative. Anyway it dosn't mater what you think heads are gonna roll and people are going to go to prison over this.
 
"From Max Baucus to Chuck Schumer to Jeanne Shaheen, key Senate Democrats publicly pressured the IRS to target groups that held differing political views and who, in their view, had the temerity to engage in the political process. The IRS listened to them and acted. And other Democrat senators like Kay Hagan and Mark Pryor said and did nothing about it."

Senate Democrats Pushed for IRS Tea Party Snooping Before Criticizing It - Brian Walsh (usnews.com)

you liberals really need to stop only getting your news from Huff and Puff post, Buzz Feed, Mother Jones, Media Maters, and MSNBC because all they are doing is treating you like a mushroom they keep you and the dark and feed you crap
Sorry, but that article is an OPINION piece, it not worth anything.

I'm not bothered by the violation of terrorists "civil rights".................................
 
Man you don't have a clue, do you? I doubt you were even alive when Nixon was president. Nixon did what was best for Nixon, and then the republicans made sure Ford pardoned Nixon.

Trust me, from all of the 60 and 70 year old Liberals I run across on these forums, experience is not necessarily indicative of understanding.

I mean look at you for instance. You've gone through life under the delusion of a corrupt ideology and without the innate means to correct your inaccurate twisted world view.
 
wapo today:

IRS stalled conservative groups, but gave speedy approval to Obama foundation - The Washington Post

When the Barack H. Obama Foundation sought tax-exempt status to raise money for good works in Kenya, the Internal Revenue Service provided quick help.

The IRS approved charitable status for the foundation, which was run by President Obama’s brother and named after his father, in about a month’s time. The IRS also agreed to give the group this important financial status retroactively, back to 2009, when it had begun its fundraising.

LOL!

what wapo calls "a sham charity"

"scofflaw"

34 days!

retroactive 3 years!

it really PAYS to have connections!

don't you wish YOU were a sham charity?

y'know, the daily caller had this weeks ago, i didn't wanna do it cuz i didn't want to get dragged into a discussion about TUCKER CARLSON

LOL!

cuz i just know how that febrile little mind of yours spins

nah, the prof does issues, the prof disdains personalities

and their whores

The worse thing about you is not that you are young, it's not even that you ignorant. It's that you think that you are smart. This shows in how ridiculous most of your postings are. They are like summer farts, a lot of hot air that smells like crap!
 
I'm not bothered by the violation of terrorists "civil rights".................................

huh? what the hell are you trying to say. are you calling soldiers who are conservative terrorist? People who have sacrificed life and limb terrorist. your a real pos arn't you.

Well of course you don't and you don't even realize that the willingness of the left to push their corrupt agenda by any means necessary, even it means breaking the law, lying, stealing or violating the opposing ideologies civil rights is their Achilles heal.

You people put no value in character or integrity and are too twisted ideologically to realize that any agenda built on lies and misinformation is doomed to fail.

As we are currently seeing with Obama and his group of Chicago thugs defining the Democrat legacy for years to come as lying, backstabbing, corrupt dishonest scum bags.

Historically Obama will be known for a economy on life support, chronic joblessness, a massive growing structural debt, a growing class of dependents , a shrinking middle class and major scandals that were combated with more lies and misinformation.

If that's your goal then hell, more power too you.
 
still would like you or any one else that reads this to answer my question

how in the hell do you ask a question that the answer will be damaging to Obama and have it not be considered scoring political points and being accused of doing so?

There were some very good questions asked in the hearings. I like the one that asked for names of those responsible which of course Miller knew nothing. I do not think he was very cooperative. I do think most of the questions asked by both parties went to the crux of the matter. But I think each and every question asked should be one in search for the truth and to find out answers.

now we know the IG reported to the Treasury around five months ago, that agent will be called before the committee next week. I think the best way to go about is to ask your question, not make speeches. All Americans hate the IRS, they want the IRS taken down a notch or two, they also want the truth. I think questions can be asked that is in search for the truth, the who, what, when and where. Names also. But speech making makes this look like a witch hunt to get the president instead of finding out the who, what, when or where, finding the problem, fixing the problem.

Knock the IRS all you want, Americans love this and when the Representative scolded Miller about the IRS having the power to shut down any business, about people coming before the IRS must have all the t's crossed and i's dotted, (paraphrasing here as I can't remember the exact words) that an excuse of shoddy work won't cut it with the IRS. Beautiful.

So your saying as long as it only makes the IRS look bad you are fine with it, but stay away from Obama and his administration.
Democrats are hoping it stays within the IRS
 
They are like summer farts

is that what the defense has really come to?

yes

why can't barack obama state unequivocally that he didn't know about the CRIMINAL activity at his irs until april 22?
