You've been SUFFERING? haha

Oh, such a victim. Is there any amount of pity that will satiate your butthurt? Maybe if we give it a kiss?

Wait... you're NOT a victim of others exercising free speech? But what if they say something you don't like?? Well, then you're a victim, right?

Get with the pity party! Play that victim card!

One card? You insult me. I can build a whole house of victim cards when I really get going. I'm not a victim of others exercising free speech and neither is Lois Lerner.

Nobody feels that free speech is threatened except yourself. What people are pointing to, in a free speech sort of way, are the many idiot claims and defamations that have little substance in reality. It's clearly directed at the lesser educated out there..

Who cares about accusations without substance? Oh, that's right... those who need pity care about accusations without substance.

No one has claimed they don't. You are clinging desperately to that strawman because you are unable to defend the proposition that the individuals cited should have been doing what they were doing.

Who are you to decide what others can and cannot say?

Why does anyone care about substance-less accusations? I'll tell you: they are desperate to be victims and receive pity.

It's a cold hard world out there, and those that cannot handle it play the victim card.

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.

to nut cases like her-and perhaps some of her defenders-being a conservative is all that is needed for barking loon lefties to call someone an asshole

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

Now here's a question. If a group, any group is singled out by the IRS because of the content of their message, is that cool? I don't see how anyone from any side could credibly defend that.

actually lots of lefties approve of such tactics just as many approve of Democrats pushing gun control to bash conservatives.

do conservatives sometimes engage in the same behavior? sure. I don't believe lots of abortion banners really care about unborn babies as much as they claim nor do I believe the "sanctity of marriage" people are free of anti gay bigotry

but trust me, lots of lefties like what Lerner does

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

TEAbangers do it every day in so many forums I've lost count.
The best one is Mark Levin because he calls out both Democrats and Crony Capitalists, but not the same way of course.
The "our feelings are hurt" CARD is rich coming from the GOP .

I'm not hearing the conservative end of the political spectrum playing the victim / race card. Hear it aplenty from the left end of the spectrum, playing to their usual plucking heart strings / emotions rather than logic and reasoning and something more mature.

And you've demonstrated as much by using the derogatory term "TEAbangers" / 'TeaBaggers', now haven't you?

Point being that it takes a little more than being conservative for being accused of being a racist by the left.
This is blatantly BS.
You can most certainly be conservative and not be racists. I'm not saying that there aren't conservatives who aren't racist, I'm saying that you being conservative doesn't make you one. Further, criticizing Obama's polices on a policy basis isn't racist in the least either.

After what I've heard Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Moo-chelle, Mrs. Clinton, Sen. Warren called the last SIX years just for starters,
I see no need to try to reason with the unreasonable.
As for TEAbanger, that's a new one of mine dedicated to Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh and what their kind say about Americans .

Now look who's whining with the "racist" card.
I don't see the GOP establishment walking back the racist garbage as Boehner used to.
To him, it is okay to fundraise off that.
But not okay to fundraise off of GOPs suing and impeaching .

Race card and victim card are not the same thing. Regarding the victim card, you should hear all the conservatives that cry like babies with colic over that terrible object -PC- robbing them of their liberty, oppressing them and basically destroying all of society.

I tell ya, those crybabies will go on and on about how others exercising free speech ruins their life. They're victims of an object! haha

Totally agree with all of that, and I have had that particular card played on me several times, once for opposing legalizing marijuana. Honestly, it used to bug me more, now it's used so often it's been rendered nearly meaningless.

My take is that it has been rendered meaningless by over use, which directly points to the problem, distortion, and overuse, and frankly, incorrect and inappropriate use by some.

Not worth the time to respond with any real meaning. It'd be lost on you anyway.
