IRS Retired Lerner calls conservatives "a**holes" and "crazies" in emails from IRS

She needs something, that's for sure!:

Maybe we can get Weiner to send her some pictures....

"Wow, these right-wing lunatics sure are paranoid, huh? Anyway, how close are we to turning the IRS into a weapon?"

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, drawing this newly-released document to the DOJ's attention. He concludes:

While the Committee has not seen any evidence of a serious investigation by your Department, it is my sincere hope that in light of this new, strong evidence that you immediately begin aggressively investigating this matter or appoint a special counsel. The failure to do so will only further erode public trust in not only the IRS, but the Department as well.....snip~

Where will Lois run and hide now? Isnt it great to know that none of her family or herself can walk around freely in the country anymore. That wherever she goes.....she has to live with that fear in her mind. Now that's poetic justice.

Holder won't investigate her. No how, no way. He's in it with Obama for the long haul.

And I LOVE your user name!:lol:

Partisanship is hard on progress. Attorney generals are to a president what his press secretary is. Always in the presidents pocket.

Once White House counsel, however, Gonzales' priorities seemed to turn to protecting the administration. When the General Accounting Office wanted information about Enron officials meeting with Vice President Dick Cheney's Energy Task Force, Gonzales was there to say no way.

He later insulated Bush from congressional records requests and publicly defended the president's order making non-American terror suspects eligible for military tribunals. He also advised Bush to refuse to give prisoner-of-war status to suspected al Qaeda prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

After his 60-36 confirmation as the 80th U.S. attorney general in 2005, Gonzales continued his role as protector, defending the National Security Agency's wiretapping program and, more recently, taking responsibility in the firings of eight U.S. attorneys, some of whom claim they were political casualties.

Re: IRS Retired Lerner calls conservatives "a**holes" and "crazies" in emails from IR

Kudos for her! I guess if some conservatives don't want to be called crazy and a-holes, they should quit doing crazy things and quit being a-holes.

and this here is a great example of why things will not improve. a-holes exist in both parties, and they are gaining in numbers.

It seems Conservatives and Republicans had very good reasons to be paranoid.

I have to admit this may me laugh! Kudos for that! :lamo

Except that should a conservative call a liberal or liberals a-holes, there'd be hell to pay.

Frankly, it's hard to differentiate them based on their extreme behaviors, don't you think?

This frames her 'frame of reference', if you will. Someone like this should never have been allowed to work at the IRS, given the amount of power and control it has over the tax payers. People working at the IRS should ideologically be neutral, seemingly almost by definition.
 
Re: IRS Retired Lerner calls conservatives "a**holes" and "crazies" in emails from IR

It really goes to show intent or motive. It might also show incentive. Not good for her from a legal perspective.

Didn't you once suggest that I was the hyper partisan one? Lol. Hannity was trying to make a big deal about this, but personally, I don't give a ****. Is it a surprise to anyone that Lois Lerner doesn't like conservatives?

Why that's as shocking and surprising as Summerwind saying how much she dislikes conservative or how much she loves anything and anyone with a (D) by it/him/her. :mrgreen:

:agree: Do you think that the atmosphere surrounding you where you work might have an effect on how you feel about things? When I was being interviewed by Human Resources prior to working for the corporation that hired me, my political leanings never once came up in the conversation.

It's got to be toxic working in DC these days! As an example, look at what Obama is doing to the Generals in the military that don't agree with him - they just don't have a job any more, and most of them have been around long enough to have served proudly under both political parties! It has nothing to do with their ability to do their job - not any more! Now it's Obama's ideology that is the determining factor! Sad....

Greetings, Erik. :2wave:

Yeah, brilliant you are not.

It ain't paranoia if they really are after you...

Yes, indeed. The toxic 'change' that Obama has brought to DC. Where partisanship over rules so many other more important things. Funny, didn't he claim that he was going to 'fix' DC? As in bringing a new civility, perspective, level of discussion to DC?

Yeah, we add this to the other empty campaign promises of his. Don't think an honest word came out of his mouth.

As they should way in the court of law, at least so I'm told, 'It goes to pattern'.

I take it that you aren't a "big picture" kind of person. It isn't illegal to call someone an a-hole. It isn't illegal to be an a-hole or I would have been in jail a long time ago. Let me give you a hint, it isn't about name calling.

Thanks. I am always in trouble. Either I did something wrong or I didn't do something I was supposed to.

I agree. Holder is going to fall on his sword.

are you talking about the civility of political discourse five years ago, when obama was shouted at during a special address to congress?

This is where we start bouncing around subjects like a superball. Actually, the guy was right. He is a liar.

You don't want someone calling Obama a liar despite him being a liar? Why the double standard?

The 'smidgen' comment about the IRS, the subject of this thread, was obviously a lie also.
