Taking the word of some reporter may be how it works in your world but that's not how it works in my world.

It is a witch hunt for issa. His aim is PBO. Do you know how many groups on the left were targeted? It out numbers rightwing gopers. A search will provide the proof.

Nope.. they werent wrong either.

You can plea the 5th but you must plea the 5th to EVERYTHING.. Answer ONE question, and you've waived your right to plea..

You dont get to pick and choose what questions to answer.

You're wrong AGAIN.. When will you stop embarassing yourself..

Then Louis Lerner should just answer the damn questions and be done with it. She won't so that leads us to ask who orchestrated this operation? Who is Louis Lerner protecting?

If it would you would have done it yourself and provided it. I'm told Bigfoot is out there also, all I have to do is believe and go looking for him.

I just wonder where Issa stands on the issue of blatantly political organizations (both liberal and conservative) attempting to organize under 501c4 status. Isn't stopping that kind of the IRS' job?

Bonus points to the people foaming at the mouth here if they can answer why groups with names like Tea Party, Liberty, Progressive, etc... filing for 501c4 status might be targeted to much greater degree than those filing under 501c3.

I was in the Army. Going down with your ship is one of those wacky Naval traditions. We prefer to live and fight another day.

Actually, no.

What I know is that this administration is almost certainly no more or less corrupt than any recent previous one. The difference is that technology and cable news hves enhanced the ability of partisan ideologues to fabricate and sustain fake "scandals" that previously would have died of their own inertia.

This is what FOX news was explicitly designed to do.

That would require me to believe it.

You don't get to simply make things up and ask people to argue against them. Well, obviously you can but nobody should take you seriously.

The 501c4 filing status is at the very heart of this controversy. If you're going to outraged over the IRS' actions then you should know why extra scrutiny was given to groups who filed as 501c4's instead of 501c3's.

You do know don't you?
