I know, right? I had a sinking feeling in 2012 that voter suppression and election fraud would give the GOP one last win, and then they would take that opportunity to take over state and local governments held by Democrats, as the GOP Governor of Michigan has done. What a relief to find that the majority of minorities (sounds funny) and independents don't put up with right-wing shenanigans. We'll need another overwhelming voter turnout to overcome the next round of voter suppression, so I h-o-p-e Democrats keep up their enthusiasm and vote.

Egad, I hope 2014 looks like 2006. That'd be great for the country, as then things could finally get done. As long as the Senate stays Dem.

Even if you are a Republican you need to vote for the Democrats. It is the only way to save your party. They need a slap to wake them up before its too late and they self destruct.

Neither Amb Pickering or truth is on Issa's side,thus the desperation for closed hearings. Kind of like ABC's intentional, deceitful, misinterpreted Benghazi emails.

And now Issa is fighting to keep the Admiral testifying behind closed doors while the admiral wants to testify in public - Could it be that Issa is getting worried?

Great article, but who is going to lead an enquiry into who doctored the emails to make Obama look bad, surely this is a crime against the country!

Re: IF (A Big IF) This CBS Report Is True, Obama Needs To Fire Someone Else

Yeah, its either a very disloyal person who is admittedly an idiot for making such an idiotic statement (what kind of low-life takes it upon himself to call others on his team idiots - speak for yourself, idiot!), or its another case of the corporate media fabricating sources or fabricating statements from sources. We've all heard the corporate media say things like "Democrats are scared to death of this scandal", which is completely and very obviously a right-wing fabricated lie. They can't name one Democrat who said it, because they made an assumption based on their conservative bias and had the balls to present it as fact. They should say "I believe ...". To say otherwise is a lie. Its time to ferret-out these "anonymous sources" or start legal action against the corporate media when they outright lie for their own political reasons. CBS, ABC, CNN, NBC and FOX - investigate them all.They are hiding behind the first amendment to advance their own conservative agenda. This is why we need to turn out in 2014 to win back the HOUSE!

That makes two news sources (WaPo and Seattle Times) that say she's a Democrat without any source link or evidence, whatsoever, and hundreds of other news sources that say she's a Republican. You do the math.

Re: The IRS “Scandal” – How Teapublicans and Corporate Media are Misleading the Country, Again

The only thing the IRS should do differently is monitor all tax exempt
groups for political activity (including Democrats) and revoke their tax
exempt status if they are found in violation.

Couldn't be more clear.

If this is what you believe, then you should support the elimination of the following 501c3:
The State Green "Party" Fund (unlike the Tea Party, the Green Party actually is a real political party)
http://www.gp.org/documents/or...

And correct me if I am wrong, I assume you are OK with 501c3's like the George W. Bush Foundation, since he is no longer a candidate.

Lerner is not a "Bush appointee". She was not appointed by any President. She is a career IRS employee. I don't care if she is Republican or Democrat. She needs to be fired for her inaction.

Re: Inconvenient Truths on the IRS “Targeting” Teabagger Groups

PoliticalGuru65 — Mon, 13 May 2013 19:45:43 -0000

You make a mistake about what was on the tapes and now you try to put words into my mouth. I never said he wasn't "involved". I said, "Nixon didn't know about the break-in when it happened." That is what the evidence has shown and that is what has been reported.

What you seemed to miss is that I still hold Nixon responsible. In his case, Nixon's failed leadership created an environment that led to criminality. Obama's failed leadership led to wrongdoing. Nixon's downfall was governed by paranoia; Obama's was governed by incompetence.

Re: Inconvenient Truths on the IRS “Targeting” Teabagger Groups

Doug Marquardt — Mon, 13 May 2013 17:08:02 -0000

Here's the Watergate timeline. Nixon, the White House, or both are involved from burglaries to cover-ups. To say that he was not involved is absurd.

To say that to Obama is involved in this non-scandal when the President has no connection to the IRS except that its one of the dozens of bureaucracies under him is a ridiculous stretch. But its good press for your unending obstructionism and impeachment agenda.

Re: Inconvenient Truths on the IRS “Targeting” Teabagger Groups

Doug Marquardt — Mon, 13 May 2013 16:34:54 -0000

As I stated in my newest post, the IRS must expand their monitoring to target ALL groups (including on the political left) to ensure they are following the rules against partisan activity and supporting candidates. If they are doing this, their tax exempt status must be revoked. No one should be fired, staff should be added to get this done.

Re: Inconvenient Truths on the IRS “Targeting” Teabagger Groups

PoliticalGuru65 — Mon, 13 May 2013 16:22:34 -0000

Yes, your janitor example is absurd, but in the case of the IRS, there had been numerous reports for over a year that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. The President did nothing to ensure that this wasn't happening. Why? Because claiming ignorance was politically beneficial. Want proof? There may be some resignations, but he will not fire anyone over this. Any reasonable liberal will say that people must be fired.

You are mistaken over the Nixon tapes. The Nixon tapes do not show that he ordered the break in of the Democratic National Committee headquaters. That is what Watergate was about. You are confusing the discussion about breaking into the Brookings Institute (which never happened) with the Watergate break-in.

Re: Inconvenient Truths on the IRS “Targeting” Teabagger Groups

Doug Marquardt — Mon, 13 May 2013 14:27:20 -0000

Seattle Times, a conservative paper, is the only one of hundreds of news outlets reporting on this "scandal" that is claiming Lerner is a Democrat and not a Bush appointee. So right-wingers will latch onto that one paper and their misinformation. The rest of us will believe every other news source.

And no, we never tolerate trolls. As is stated in our About page and our Commenting Policy page, this site is for Democrats, not right-wing trolls. You can send all the emails you want but it won't change that fact.

Re: Inconvenient Truths on the IRS “Targeting” Teabagger Groups

Doug Marquardt — Mon, 13 May 2013 14:02:41 -0000

Then by your logic the President is responsible for the janitor stealing something from the Department of Education. That's absurd.

And the Nixon tapes proved that he ordered the break-in. Nice attempt to re-write history.

Re: Inconvenient Truths on the IRS “Targeting” Teabagger Groups

PoliticalGuru65 — Mon, 13 May 2013 13:37:31 -0000

You said: "The only connection President Obama has to the IRS is that they’re both part of the federal government."

That's absurd. The Internal Revenue Service falls under Obama's Department of the Treasury. It isn't an "independent organization" like Jay Carney said. Nixon didn't know about the break-in when it happened. Reagan didn't know about Iran-Contra when it happened. Obama may not have known that the IRS had been targetting right wing groups (as far back as over two years ago). But it doesn't matter each of these President's are ultimately responsible for what happens under his adminstration.

I'm so g-damn sick of this game you right-wing trolls play. The facts are straight and leaving comments in lefty blogs as if they are facts is troll behavior and should be blocked. Lois Lerner, the head of the IRS division on tax-exempt organizations IS a Republican appointed by Bush, as reported by every news organization and blog since the story broke. Go pull your troll bullsh*t in another blog.

Re: Inconvenient Truths on the IRS “Targeting” Teabagger Groups

Billy26 — Mon, 13 May 2013 10:25:09 -0000

Get your facts straight. In March 2012, the IRS commissioner was Douglas Shulman, who was appointed by President George W. Bush and denied targeting conservative groups at that time. Lois Lerner, the current head of the IRS division on tax-exempt organizations IS a Democrat and is NOT a political appointee — and admitted targeting conservative groups on Friday.

The media never calls them out, the LGBT never calls them out or protests them. WBC are not religious right. They're protected and never get called out for hate speech. NEVER They're liberal looney's masquerading as religion. It's all a ruse.
