The Obama shills really are reaching new lows with each passing day.

On the one hand, they whine and complain about the media source that reports on these e-mails. In that context, "bias" is oh-so-terrible in their eyes.

On the other hand, they don't have a single peep to utter about the criminally corrupt bias exhibited by GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS in the IRS, who because of their bias used the institutions of government to attack innocent American citizens who happened to have political beliefs that they didn't share.

Ironic, to say the least. Obama's lapdogs disgust me more and more with each post and day.

Barack Obama.

Obama's not biased, because he has to find out about stories like this in the media, just like the rest of us. And he's REALLY good at gettting to the bottom of things. I have no doubt this investigation will be carried out quickly, and with the efficiency and accuracy we have come to expect from the US Government, a 2014 JD Power Quality award winner.

Is FOX in on this whole "protecting Obama" thing too?

Or is it possible that you've been had?

Fox

Daily Mail UK
Emails show IRS official Lois Lerner called conservatives 'crazies' and 'a**holes' as Eric Holder gets new pressure to investigate | Mail Online

It's pretty much confirmed

Too bad the rest of us aren't given the privilege of investigating ourselves. I would find myself innocent every time too.

I find it embarrassing as a country that this investigation hinges on a corrupt Eric Holder. If this is our hope of getting to the bottom, we are doomed.

Well, I read the e-mails. I think when a friend is talking about "whackos" it's okay to refer to those "whackos" as "crazies". Do these e-mails show a bias toward conservatives, or a bias toward "whackos"?

The Democrats absolutely hated Nixon for using the IRS to target enemies. They spent three years investigating him, and Watergate was uncovered.

Now we have a blatant misuse of the IRS and because it's "their guy" doing it, it's all good.

If it's bad for one side to do it, it has to be bad for both sides. For those defending Lerner, just wait until the other side is in power. You've basically given all politicians a green light to be even more corrupt than they already are.

Haha.....no doubt. Holder is about as ethical as some of the mods I know.

Unfortunately, Holder won't be gone before Obama is gone -- of that, I have no doubt. These two need each other in a bad, bad way.

The question was if the source was legit. All I did was show it to be true, and nothing more.

The IRS is supposed to be completely non-partisan, and she and her counterparts were targeting political groups. No matter what "you think is okay" because you agree that 100M conservatives are "wackos" THAT is still illegal.

What are you on about?

Lerner's friend remarked about "whackos", and Lerner responded. Lerner's friend didn't remark about conservatives. No one in that email exchange said that conservatives are wackos.

So do you believe Lerner didn't target conservative groups?

Just a simple question.
