Did you even bother to read the article? While the audit released Thursday by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration doesn't discuss the political leanings of the additional groups it identified, the criteria used by the IRS to flag groups based on their names or policy positions included left-leaning organizations and causes like “ACORN Successors,” “Green Energy,” “Medical Marijuana,” and “Progressive.” They were among 17 additional selection criteria discovered by TIGTA going back as far as 2004. Some of the targeted groups waited up to four years for the IRS to decide whether to grant them tax-exempt status. The word list was created back in 2004 when Lerner was not even the head of the organization and Lerner continued the same practice when she took over in 2006 (Bush time). Lerner was a BUSH appointee, there is no denying that fact - why would she target conservatives alone?
not only did I read the article you unregistered troll cropper I gave you a quote from it. Apparently you did not recognize it. the quote I presented to you showed you that (as i said) the IRS had indeed targeted conservatives. your excuse that they also targeted other political groups (whether to a lesser extent or not) does not show them to be therefore fair... It shows them to be more fascist and dangerous... not less. Big govt fascism is not excused because you find they targeted multiple political views. They should not be targeting political views. Perhaps you are ok with your govt targeting thoughts of liberty and freedom in your country.
Yes IRS targeted conservatives but you left out that IRS ALSO targeted liberals - and the targeting was done by a Bush appointee who was never instructed by Obama to do the same. And she was never prosecuted by the Trump DOJ for the same. Her 'targeting' was purely based on the fact that Cons ran these kind of scams more often than liberals. You may also want to read up on what the exemption was for, none of the political outfits should have gotten any exemption under this - run a SuperPAC if you want to be political, this is not the way.
had you not been b.s ing from the start you could have made those somewhat specious arguments from the beginning and we could have discussed. now I have to get back to work because i just got the call I was waiting on. but... point by point... so what... targeting is the problem. Its criminal for them target liberals as well. That is the difference between a foreign troll and American. I stand up from the other side's constitutional rights a well. so what, the establishment is the issue not the solution. The targeting was political, the IRS admitted it... your pro publica bullshit has been refuted by facts. even with NPRs spin you can see the IRS admitted it.. https://www.npr.org/2017/10/27/5603...or-aggressive-scrutiny-of-conservative-groups your CNBC commentators favorite argument is a bit more sound perhaps no groups should have gotten exemptions or exceptions... but once exceptions are made govt can't play favorites based on political views. You can't have selective law enforcement. Certainly a race baiter like your buddies on this site understand that.
Simple question - if the IRS head targeted conservatives and liberals in an unfair illegal way, why didn't the Trump DOJ charge or indict her? Since you claim to be standing up for the constitutional rights by saying it was all criminal and we have seen that the Trump admin hasn't then is it fair to claim that Trump is a foreign troll and a usurper?
How is it a non-sequitur? You say it was criminal but without an indictment and since you don't have a law degree what validity do you have for your personal opinion? Here is my opinion, jem has syphilis which has spread to his brain and his genitalia must be cut off but without a medical test and without having proven my credentials as a Venereologist, would you accept my opinion as fact and cut off your balls?
That is some racist ass shit right there. Depicting Obama as an ape. That is just disgusting. Are you are so racist that you didn't even realize that it was racist? I demand the Trump condemn this grotesque overt racism!
It's only depicting how ELECTED Republican representatives pictured Obama http://www.wdrb.com/story/33281914/...gies-for-shocking-images-on-his-facebook-page So you are upset at the cartoon for mocking how Republicans think?
