IRS conspiracies fall apart as BOLO list targeting ‘progressive’ groups revealed

so let me get this straight... when it comes out the the IRS is inappropriately targeting conservative groups, liberals aren't outraged at all.
when it comes out "progressive" groups were also targeted Liberals still aren't outraged.


it amazes me, sometimes, what people will defend when their team is in charge... it's stunning, actually.
 
The IRS, since Obama's first inauguration, is a part of the Obama administration. They cannot be separated.

The question is: Does this mean they were directed to do this, or does this mean they did it on their own to try and please?
As I said, they were incompetent, they simply didn't know how to handle all the requests they were getting.
 
The OP simply indicates that some groups with what some people consider "liberal" descriptors were on the IRS BOLO list - it does not indicate for what reason.

"Be On the Look Out" does not necessarily imply that such groups were then given a hard time in their application process - it could, just as logically, mean that they were flagged so that higher-ups could smooth the way for a faster approval process - to green-light the application without delay.

I've seen evidence to indicate that the groups on the right were targeted, their applications pulled and scrutinized, their applications held while further more intrusive and personal information and large volumes of detail was required, and evidence that some people who fronted the applications actually had their business and/or personal tax files audited. I've seen no evidence to indicate that any of the groups supposedly on the left received the same or similar treatment. If those on the left carrying Obama's water have such evidence, why don't you present it?

Bingo. Exactly the right observations and question.
Good evening, CJ.:2wave:

Awwww... it looks like yet another phoney outrage and manufactured story to make the Democrats (particularly Obama) look bad, unprofessional, deceitful and evil has gone up in smoke. Will Issa eat a whole ****ing humble pie for himself, or will he still pretend (like those who suffer from tinfoilasitis), that the big bad IRS -- no matter the evidence -- IS still after the poor and victimized widdle wight wingers? So many here were duped big time and it seems to be a common occurrence in this days of misinformation. So, to those who fell hook line and sinker... how does this new information make you feel and how will you approach the next "scandal"? I am seriously curious.

Funny thing, there are some major concrete things to be upset with the Obama Administration, including the fact that they have done pretty much nothing to change the regulations of the banking industry... an industry that almost collapsed the American economy. Amazing that it seems few are angry about this, yet get a boner with incredibly stupid stories like the IRS.

And the whitewash begins. BHO's appointee declares that BHO did nothing wrong. We'll keep that in mind while we await real evidence.:lamo:lamo
 
Doing great thanks, except it's been too damn humid here for about a week - starting to pine for snow

Good afternoon, CJ. :2wave:

It was 94 degrees here today, and expected to get to 96 tomorrow, with high humidity. Then July comes along next, and I have been assured it will start to get hot then....:lamo: I almost pine for snow, too....
 
Issa has had control of the documents starting from his interference with the internal IRS investigation. And he refuses to release transcripts of interviews, presumably because the include bad facts.

Keep dancing for the GOP. It's mildly amusing.

Great. Then why aren't there any calls for a special prosecutor?
 
The subtle difference being that liberal groups waited a few weeks to be approved and conservative groups waited years...

How many groups out of all those that applied?

Good afternoon Lady P - I'm surprised - you're living the life of leisure in Texas, your daughter seeing to your every need and desire, and you're not happy??

Well, I'm not surprised to learn that since a new IRS Chief has been appointed, we can now forget about the long-term targeting of conservatives that has taken place. The IRS did admit wrongdoing, but no one to my knowledge has lost their job, so it's apparently not considered a big deal by this administration! Disgusting display of party over country! :beam:

And I find I am constantly sending sincere thanks to the inventors of same! :lamo:
