2. The DOJ was investigating leaks by the "liberal media" after the GOP congress expressed concern over national security. OutRAGEous!

3. Every right wing political group that applied for tax-free status from the IRS got it. OutRAGEous!

What's next on the RWNJ outrage horizon?

Anyone have the latest from sheriff Joe on the birth certificate?

We haven't heard much from "the Donald" lately. Surely he has some updates from that "crack team of Hawaiian investigators" by now.

Hasn't Rev Wright said anything that can be taken out of context in the past five years or so?

Come on, you guys. Get with it. You're slipping. The marxist muslim is getting away with everything.

The bolded part is a serious misstatement. Not all of them received tax-exempt status. Some of them are still waiting for a ruling, some had to drop their requests due to the financial hardship imposed by fighting the IRS. In short, if even one group that should have received tax-exempt status was denied or impeded because the IRS was illegally targeting them (which has already been admitted by the IRS), then the IRS and anyone who was involved in the decision to target those groups should be held accountable, no matter what their political affiliation is.

You'll look even more foolish than you already do.

Just trying to save you some more embarrassment.

You probably do not even know what Watergate was over.

No one died due to Watergate.

The only embarressment here are sheep likeyourself. Hypocrites none the less.

You know, if your Administration would've just headed warnings on Benghazi in the first place, it may have been prevented or our guys wouldn't have been there in the first place. You have your beloved Administration to blame for this, no one else
All republicans need is a steady stream of "whistleblowers"...

Please list the tea party or other right wing groups whose applications have been denied.

That's all.

I can tell that you're going to be very upset when a gentle breeze blows all of these scandals off the radar screen.

You've always got the birth certificate to fall back on.

will you please stop with the projections- I am not and never was a birther or truther or any of that crap.

Too late The scandals have already been brought to light- just more indications how corrupt Government is.

If I see the Rs get out of hand and try to take down people that should not be I will call them out. At this point the facts are still coming out. Are you not interested in hearing all of the facts?

The real scandal isn't the talking points. The scandal in my opinion is the lies about what was known and the motivation behind them.

Americans can handle truth and even incompetence. We hate being lied to by the King - it's embedded in our collective American DNA to demand truth or we rebel. It's how this country was formed.

That part of the world is volatile and they hate us. If somebody had stepped forward and spoken the truth up front, it wouldn't be an issue now. It's the lies.
