Are you kidding here? Is it a crime to be in opposition to Obama policies?

Relax, just a theory ... I got the idea from you guys ... Blacks get stopped by police more often than whites for drug searches, yet whites are more likely to have drugs (proportionately - I got one con saying, "Of course, there are more whites." So, proportionately, i.e., relative to their numbers.)

What you are saying here I don't think you could back up with credible stats, but beyond that, to derail the thread so that you can claim that those in opposition to Obama are just racists, or uneducated boobs, is dishonest...Come on back when you truly want to discuss these things, short of that, your tact is a dime a dozen, and over played.

you really do bore me sometimes ... we joke about you cons having a playbook, but I swear, sometimes I really do think there is a playbook ... there are those who are opposed to Obama principally because (a good part of the GOP House I believe), or the nature of their opposition is enhanced by the fact that, he's black, but that's not true of everyone, perhaps not even most, although the ones who are come across as uneducated boobs -- that's what racism does to you ... BUT, having said that, that was not what I was posting this time ... it was more subtle than that and I'm sorry you missed it ... and I did go back and forth with a poster on the "proportionately" thing ... just a fact ...

Bore you? pfft. Yeah right....:roll: You angry little Che T-shirt wearing, Obama blind supporters that come out here with hatred for anyone that disagrees with your world view are just worthless. You all sound alike, and the clinical projection is just too much to take....Go educate yourself in something other than 17th century lesbian poetry, and useless basket weaving then get ahold of me in 20 years or so when you get some smarts.

back to the topic at hand
nice try to distract from the debunked claim that progressive groups where equally targeted or even targeted at all
the numbers are so low it could just be chalked up as a coincidence

Its a flawed study that didn't take in many considerations that skew the results like repeat offenders receiving harsher sentencing and the majority of repeat offenders are minorities

You obviously didn't read it. It's not "a study"

It's a report that discusses the finding of numerous studies, some of which take into account the prior history of the sentenced person

IRS targeting included liberal groups - CNN.com

The Internal Revenue Service targeted liberal groups as well as conservatives seeking tax-exempt status, a Democratic congressman charged on Monday after the agency acknowledged the inappropriate practice continued until last month.

Rep. Sander Levin said the term "progressives" was included on IRS screening lists of applicants for tax-exempt status made available to Congress on Monday.
It was the first confirmation that the "Be on the Lookout" or BOLO lists used criteria targeting liberal groups after an inspector general's report made public last month said the IRS had used words such as "tea party" to determine possible extra scrutiny.​


Can we finally stop pretending that the IRS "scandal" is actually a scandal? The IRS gave extra scrutiny to political groups applying for 501c(4) status. Political groups should be 527's, not 501c's. What we've dealt with so far is a concerted effort by Republicans to selectively release information, giving the appearance of a scandal.

*sigh*

The approval for liberal groups came much quicker than for any of the conservative groups. THAT's the scandal.

That's uncanny!!!!! I was actually wearing my Che shirt at the time ... What's your favorite 17th century Lesbian poem? BTW, have you or someone you loved ever use a basket that was woven by someone? Useless? I don't think so ...

Really? Has that been your experience?

Are the OWS bitches? All Democrats, news commentators, political opponents, everyone on this web site, bitches?

Perhaps you should rethink your silly position.

First you'd have to prove ALL democrats complain. Good luck with that one. Are you complaining because I said Conservatives who complain are bitches? ;)

It seems you've forgotten your earlier claim which was "Only bitches complain".

I did say that your position was silly and you've offered no defense.

If you can point to one well know person who has never complained then I'm prepared to take back that remark about it being silly. If you can't then I'd double down from just being just silly to being remarkably foolish.

Now, you've spent the last 2 pages complaining that bitches complain. How does that make you feel about yourself? :)

Again, it was you who said "Only bitches complain". Does your memory fade from one post to the next?

If more people realized how incompetent Obama was, and is, then he would not be president. But Democrats can only complain about Republicans, a sad state of affairs for any advanced nation.
