You're likely one of them.
One of who? A Democrat voter?

No, I just don't see this as the issue most Americans care about except for the handful of right wingers on the internet.

You don;t see why the IRS targeting groups because of their ideology is an issue?

We're those groups violating the law by lying to be non-profit?

Seems appropriate that Obama said his favorite TV show was The Wire.
It feels like only deeply corrupted people want to be in politics these days.

Right.
Hopefully having a new AG will mean the stonewalling will stop and someone will finally have to answer for the targeting and subsequent coverup involving all sorts of apparent criminal activity, lying and/or intentional ignorance.
Don't count on it.

Imagine if Richard Nixon had tried this same garbage.... oh, never mind.

Right here is another exhibit of why we can not have nice things in this country.

Nixon got caught with his hand directly in the cookie jar and that was a lesson to all subsequent Presidents of both parties.

That's just how our society operates today.

Obama was conceived as the likely result of a lie (Barack Sr. telling the underage Stanley Ann Dunham, "No, baby, me have no wife back in Kenya" when exactly the opposite was true). Since Barack Jr. slithered out into the world, his life has been a series of lies, culminating with him winning the "Lie Of The Year" award recently. Too bad his dead parents aren't around to see what a wonderful product they conceived.

You're right -- only deeply corrupted people want to be in politics these days.

You'd be wrong. Very wrong.

Poll: 77 percent say the IRS’ singling out of conservative political groups is inappropriate

Poll: 76 Percent of Americans Believe "Lost" IRS Emails Were Deliberatly Destroyed
