Exactly

They will start running down the list to see what works

Bushes fault, not going to work

Racists, can't call the IRS racists

Localized incident, already proved wrong, plus we are already re using it for the VA scandel that is starting up

Blame house republicans, won't work

It was first a republican idea, wont work

Romney did the same thing, already used this excuse on all bad news re Obamacare

Create fake outrage to distract, already used that up with sterling

Stonewall, all used up over the last year

They targeted democrats Just like the republicans, already proven a lie

Fake scandal, tried it, didn't work


Find scapegoat dem senator in safe blue state that is already not seeking re-election to take the fall for Obama, lets give this a try.

The IRS certainly screwed up. That was when they allowed any 501c(4) tax exempt status.

The real issue is when are we going to follow the statute and shut all those down?

The is a case where the IRS compounded an all ready screwed up situation by failing to do the obvious and over a long period of time.

Simply bureaucracy bureaucrating. Nothing more.

And the Repubs obviously know it. That is why no one wants to give Lerner immunity. Then she would talk and they would have nothing to use as an issue.

It'd help if you would actually try to respond to the issue!

Administration targeting Conservatives .. as elections draw near!

Nowhere can I find where a Republican Admin. targeted Lefties?

You tried but .. try again!

So I wonder....Obama seems to love to come out and comment on "social" issues that are "so important"... will he have anything to say about this? Yeah, I know, he wont utter a word. But neither will the media. They still cover for him. They wont report on this until they absolutely have to.

Theyll spend hours and days talking about a basketball team owner and a barely draft-able gay football player but corruption and lies of the Democrats, WH, and IRS.....YAWN
