As predicted, the death of the latest scandal, the IRS bullshit.

[Necrosis]

Issa was being a fraudulent girl as usual

Progressives are just as targeted, yet you retards ate it up.

[tonymctones]

LMFAO MEDIA MATTERS...you know they get their stories straight from the white house?

yes I am aware of your hate for media matters, however, the information is correct. Issa was purposely concealing the fact that progressive groups were scrutinized just as much.

[OzmO]

Who else ran a story like this?

Just google it:

Foxbusiness
Usatoday
Boston.com
Nymag.com
Huffington
Msnbc
Mediate.com



Now it will be a question as to whether they were targeted equally.

Lol

Uuuummmmmm - just yesterday the IRS was involved in a huge scandal w favored contractors and another top exec took the 5th. 


Move on sheep.  Typical liberal morons on this site

[GigantorX]

Why is any certain specific group or organization being "targeted?" No matter if it's a progressive/democrat/left or Conservative/right, which ones were given scrutiny and why?

I think it would be more telling and productive to see what those targeted organizations were proponents of, who they opposed, what their platform was and who they were getting donations from.

As usual your post has nothing to do with the thread and yet again another classic defection typical of the 39% retarded Birthers.

I agree, and it seems that a little balance has been added tot he original story of the "IRS targeting" conservative groups.

obviously, but that point is not central to this debate. I am highlighting the fact that you seem to think it normal for a person in ISSA's position to misguide many people and basically lie. He then tried to tie it to the white house which is another lie all the while you morons were going along with it.

These organizations were targeted correctly, they were not operating within the defined parameters per se.

I think it would be more productive to fire ISSA to avoid costly, time consuming witch hunts rather then act retroactively and now try to properly investigate. Changing the subject won't work, creating red herrings won't work, Issa, lied and told them to highlight the tea party aspect of the report yet you seem fine with this level of incompetence.

You have problems grasping context, but you are a Birther so its expected.

see this is the type of retardation we deal with. Besides being patently false the overall number of groups does not matter, here's why. There were far more tea party groups applying for status with the IRS, which means far more would be scrutinized. What is lost on you guys is that the BOLO terms occupy,progressive, etc were used to target groups, the same as the BOLO term tea party.

There is no white house connection, there is no attack on the right, there is nothing.This is another fucking debacle that wastes time, money etc.

this is the actual goal of the Republican led Congress - to waste time and money and actually DO NOTHING

TeaBag wingnuts want the government to do nothing and this is how they are accomplishing that objective

Next on the agenda is the 42nd vote to repeal Obamacare

but but but, he's a blackman born in Kenya.....  SO EVERYTHING HAS TO BE HIS FAULT

It makes some sense that nonprofit groups receive more scrutiny and it even makes sense that conservative groups were being targeted to a greater degree. There is a fine line between what a nonprofit can and cannot do. Many of these nonprofit groups were riding that line very closely.

The case could easily be made that a number of these groups were an activist arm of a particular political party, funded by wealthy conservatives. Exploring how close those ties are/eere is kind of important for maintaining a semblance of democracy by keeping the wealthy from having undo influence on elections. ......not that they don't already.

Issa is a clown and all he accomplished is muddying the waters and making a spectacle out of an issue that needs to be examined further.

Yes, but to try and tie the white house to this then focusing the issue on the right sided scrutiny is clearly pre-meditated douchbagery. How is this guy still in this position? he lied and actively misconstrued the evidence to make a spurious connection between this and the white house.

33 again in here melting down.

That's not a fact, it's actually lie as I don't seem to think that.

Before you go admonishing people for "misleading" others, maybe you should make sure you aren't doing that same.
