First the IRS...then the politicians and the cronies can't use it to intimidate and shut down political opponents. Then you don't have to worry about the 501s and church donations or anything else. You also get a lot of the corruption and campaign bribery out of politics.
what about all the leftist groups? piezoe already tried this tactic. they did not self select... they were selected by learner and her bosses. they wanted to keep these groups from election spends. its one of the most powerful moves an administration can do short of arresting or bombing.
Yes "leftist" groups that used the words Occupy, Progressive, or Israel also got the additional scrutiny. But the BOLO lists were more accurate than the first line screening in correctly identifying right-wing-cheaters. Even Koch brother lackeys can't win 'em all.
in light of the emails and crashed hard drives... all you are showing is that some IRS people may have done their jobs properly. that does not me learner and her bosses did not target conservatives. note... learner is a former prosecutor.
These new emails give the White House a convenient excuse to shove Lerner off the back of the wagon and let the wolves get her. Her raw hatred of anything conservative in effect insulates Obama. He didn't have to direct her to go after these groups. She was a radical kook who would do it own her own. Of course, if she has anything to prove that the WH was in on it, they will still want to shield her.
So if she has nothing (linking to the WH) to hide, then she'll be sacrificed and Obama will be spared. But if she does have something to hide, then she'll be shielded and Obama will be spared. Man, you got guys it rough!
this is not a game. the IRS was weaponized against tax payers. don't you see how Nazi govt like that is?
