Oh is that the issue. Ok, lets go with your accusation. No sense going after the 47% right, no money to be had there, either you are on some form of government dole or government already sucked you dry?

The extent that liberals will go to defending Obama is utterly amazing. If the debate is about A, they debate with B,C,D. If the debate is Z, liberals will try debating C,D,F.

Obama just did it yesterday, they asked Obama if anyone in the left wing knew about the IRS and Obama goes off on tangent about something else. He never did answer the question.

The tea party and such groups don't represent the average American. On the contrary, the represent some of what is wrong with the country. They're asking for special tax treatment to carry-out their anti-American political activities while the rest of us, the real Americans, not to have the same advantage. All such groups, no matter their political propaganda should be subjected to close investigation. If the American Red Cross and United Way have to comply with the laws, why shouldn't these anti-American groups?

This is an example of debating with a liberal:

Obama ducked a question about whether he or anyone at the White House had known about the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups.

Obama responded: Let me make sure that I answer your specific question. I can assure you that I certainly did not know anything about the IG report before the IG report had been leaked through the press.

If you listen to anyone other than the liberal cable talking heads, you'll hear of incidents over and over where people were targeted with audits, not just once, but several years in a row.

Anyone who sees this happening in our country and thinks it's not serious, that it'll blow over, that the IRS ought to control the healthcare system, well, they've got to be a little insane. JMHO of course!

The tax audit assertion is in no way proven, and so far, you have a handful of people saying it happened to them. Five or six anecdotes does not prove a systemic bias. Not by any reasonable person's understanding.

Best to you, too.

Funny, race and Bush weren't mentioned in any of my posts. And you, my dear, were the one that said that the only mention of impeachment you heard was from a liberal news organization. When I show that that statement was a complete sham, you are ready to call for impeachment. Guess you didn't fall far from the apple cart, eh?

What do you think the IG report was about?

When was the IG report leaked?

Did this so-called scandal come to your attention before or after the IG report was leaked?

You're damned right we're not average.....not by a long shot
Are you saying that the average American is dumb?
