    Obama is a liar of the worst kind, and the useful idiots that support those lies are worse.

    Most of the "useful idiots" are paid propagandists. Groups like OFA hire them to spread misinformation and propaganda. It's a tactic straight out of the Soviet Union.

    how is it a lie?

    why would Democrat voting groups require extra scrutiny? By voting Democrat, they meet the criteria and thus don't need extra scrutiny. So, the claims by Democrats is spot on.

    This is a huge event... I expect the U.S. News Media (ABC, NBC, CBS) to lead off with this story on tonight's broadcasts.

    This proof positive that the IRS was used a weapon against political opponents of Barack Obama and the Democratic Party. This is tyranny.

    Dang. You actually figured out the Liberal logic on this one.

    The president and his progressive clowns are an embarrassment.

    Brains is not the meter, hate is. Progressives hate anyone who doesn't toe-the-line and fall in lock step to their agenda. To them, using the IRS as a political sword is totally justifiable because it was done to harm their opposition. Progressives (Obama being chief among them) are driven by hate disguised as equality and fairness, period.

    That's pretty much how nihilists like Obama roll. People who love their country don't want to fundamentally transform it.

    why would anyone love a country, anyway? what IS the country? I think this country has been poisoned, long ago, since before WW1. You bet I want to transform it! I want to stop illegal immigration and force all of them to leave. I want to do away with all welfare, all foreign aid, all foreign bases. i want to do away with 90+% of government, military and all taxes vs the individual.

    The report also accuses the Democrats of coordinating their misleading claims to the media......Democrats which included the top Democrat on the Committee doing the investigating: Elijah Cummings and other Dems on the panel.
    The AG and Obama have blocked the calls to name an Independent Special Prosecutor to get to the bottom of the scandal. Instead, they have named an Obama financial supporter who works for them.

    "According to a new report from the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee, the Internal Revenue Service did not target any leftwing, liberal or progressive groups while it was targeting groups on the right. The finding is based on testimony given by IRS agents familiar with the targeting scandal.

    The new report is titled “Debunking the Myth that the IRS Targeted Progressives: How the IRS and Congressional Democrats Misled America about Disparate Treatment.” That title obviously includes a condemnation for Rep. Elijah Cummings and other Democrats on the panel, who have belittled the investigation and stymied it at just about every turn. The Findings section calls out Cummings and three other Democrats on the committee by name, and states that they made misleading claims to the media that the IRS targeted progressive groups.

    The report also accuses the Democrats of coordinating their misleading claims."

    Wow. Big story that it warrants two threads... The first one isn't even off the main page.

    This is just a rehash of two TIGTA reports spun for political reasons.

    It warrants some prison time.

    Who ordered it and who carried it out? They need to be behind bars.

    There has been no evicence who someone ordering the "targeting." The problem is that bolos were used with terms like "progressive," "tea party," or other names for selection. In addiontal, former IRS deputy commissioner for TE/GE testified that for a jajority of the cases of the tea party applications, the agents were waiting for guidelines from Washington on how to process them given the political nature of those applications.

    Congress cannot administer justice, indict anyone except for impeachment, or carryout trials, again except for impeachment proceedings. And if you want to perform another political trial again as the GOP did with Bill Clinton, then the GOP party will not win the Presidency and will eventually become an irrelevant political party going toward oblivion. .

    You do realize that this report is a rehash of two TIGTA reports, one on Tea Party and the other on "progressives."

    Obstructing justice in a federal investigation is a punishable offense. Obfuscating the issue is unseemly and expected from you, as usual.

    Well, thank you very much. I've asked that the two be merged.
