Im with the republicans on this one.

I can respect that.  At least you can call it out when they fuck up without pathetically trying to point everywhere else.

Straw is right.

If the GOP had just passed legislation to protect the courageous, hardworking and impartial members of our media, Obama never would have broken the law and violated the public trust by spying on them.

Makes perfect sense.

he appointed holder, according to you it was bush's fault for the IRS debacle as it was his appointee over the IRS at the time.

do you not hold that same opinion here?

[Straw Man]

the people responsible for the IRS "scandal" are the people in the field office who made the decision to scrutinize "tea party" etc..

fact of the matter is that no group was denied 501c4 status and the IRS rule on 501c4 is contradictory so this again will almost assuredly be much ado about nothing

Now, if you want to answer for Georgie then try answering the questions I asked

what law was broken

show exactly how Obama was personally involved in the AP story

go back and read my posts

I said exactly the same thing

the two people in the field office are to blame and I don't think it's even a scandal (once again - Obama capitulating and throwing someone under the bus just like he did with Shirely Sherrod, Van Jones, etc..)

Bush's Fault

Seriously

The head of the IRS at the time this happened was a Bush Appointee

IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman told Congress in March 2012 that the IRS was not targeting groups based on their political views.

"There's absolutely no targeting. This is the kind of back and forth that happens to people" who apply for tax-exempt status, Shulman told a House Ways and Means subcommittee.

Shulman was appointed by President George W. Bush. His 6-year term ended in November. President Barack Obama has yet to nominate a successor. The agency is now being run by acting Commissioner Steven Miller.

yup, LMFAO you said exactly the same thing hahahhaha what a fuking tool!!!!

[tonymctones]

pelosi and straw parroting the same talking points LMFAO

[dario73]

So according to that pig, the appointee of a republican president ordered the targeting of conservative groups. The same constituents of the republican party.

Yeah, that makes sense.

[George Whorewell]

Nope nope-- Nothing to see here

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/05/irs-official-in-charge-during-tea-party-targeting-now-runs-health-care-office/


The Internal Revenue Service official in charge of the tax-exempt organizations at the time when the unit targeted tea party groups now runs the IRS office responsible for the health care legislation.Sarah Hall Ingram served as commissioner of the office responsible for tax-exempt organizations between 2009 and 2012. But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS confirmed to ABC News today. Her successor, Joseph Grant, is taking the fall for misdeeds at the scandal-plagued unit between 2010 and 2012. During at least part of that time, Grant served as deputy commissioner of the tax-exempt unit. Grant announced today that he would retire June 3, despite being appointed as commissioner of the tax-exempt office May 8, a week ago.

As the House voted to fully repeal the Affordable Care Act Thursday evening, House Speaker John Boehner expressed “serious concerns” that the IRS is empowered as the law’s chief enforcer.“Fully repealing ObamaCare will help us build a stronger, healthier economy, and will clear the way for patient-centered reforms that lower health care costs and protect jobs,” Boehner, R-Ohio, said.
“Obamacare empowers the agency that just violated the public’s trust by secretly targeting conservative groups,” Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., added. “Even by Washington’s standards, that’s unacceptable.”

Sen. John Cornyn even introduced a bill, the “Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act of 2013,” which would prohibit the Secretary of the Treasury, or any delegate, including the IRS, from enforcing the Affordable Care Act. “Now more than ever, we need to prevent the IRS from having any role in Americans’ health care,” Cornyn, R-Texas, stated. “I do not support Obamacare, and after the events of last week, I cannot support giving the IRS any more responsibility or taxpayer dollars to implement a broken law.”Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell also reacted to the revelation late Thursday, stating the news was “stunning, just stunning.”

ABC News’ Abby D. Phillip contributed to this report.

Bush appointed the guy but guess what?   The guy was a democrat who donated money to obama in 2008.
