Is that the smear of the week? I've been reading that in all the comment sections this week.
No more Benghazi to whine about I guess?

:heh:

Wrong is wrong........whether using the IRS to harass the president's political opponents or shutting down bridges for petty political reasons.

This story is exposing a lot of people as hypocrites.

Too bad for you the one involving the conservative is fact and the other is fiction.

Spoken just like a low information voter. The Democrat party makes a living off of people like you.

What liberal intellectual told you that the IRS scandal is fiction? Al Sharpton? Ed Schultz? Bill Maher?

Enjoy life in that liberal bubble, bud.

Where is the evidence Obama was the force behind the IRS investigations?

This coming from the guy who defended the Obama administration using the IRS to target conservative groups.

But anyway, everyone involved in this scandal needs to lose their jobs and possibly face charges. But we have yet to see any proof that Christie knew of what took place.
You're out on bond already?

I defended the administration targeting groups with "tea party" in the name for tax abuse, because they're named after a famous tax protest and many of them believe that taxes in general are theft, both of which put them at a significantly higher likelihood for tax fraud. That's not unreasonable or an abuse of power. Taxes are legitimate objects of governmental authority. Later, it came out that right wing groups were being targeted more broadly, which I never defended.

As for Christie, I agree that we don't have enough evidence for a conviction, but it's also unlikely that he was unaware of the activities of his top aids. I'm not certain he was involved, but I find it more likely than the scenario that puts him in the dark about the whole thing. It's also possible that this is part of a pattern of behavior, and he was aware of other instances of it but not this one.

What proof do you have that members of the tea party are less likely to pay taxes? The fact is that you have no proof. There is a huge difference between supporting low taxation and breaking the law and paying no taxes at all. If you don't pay your taxes chances you won't care about how high tax rates are.

Wrong is wrong. Stop defending government tyranny just because your side is the one doing it.

There is also a difference between paying no taxes and the other degrees and versions of tax fraud. Regardless: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/05/irs-tea-party-tax-problems


And being audited isn't a tyrannical act. :russ: Someone died because of whoever messed with that traffic. People's lives were played with on a whim. That's closer to actual tyranny.
