Are Karl Rove & GOP behind IRS scandal?
2013-06-04
[PHILLY]Anybody remember the Good Olde Days, when talking points at least appeared to make sense?

#18  Apparently not nearly as good at that as the "digerati" working for Zero.

#17  Rove is like Dick Morris, really talented at looking at polls and pulling interesting information out of them. Sometimes that information is wish-fullfillment. That doesn't make them magic or super-bright, just good at not falling asleep while studying chart after chart.

Be aware of Rovian Tricks.
Underreport all suspicious IRS activity immediately!

#14  can't be saved, only reformated.

Like I analog-reformat my old hard drives before discarding them (with a mason's hammer.)

#13  That woman is a crook, and there should already be a file documenting her insurance shakedown days here in Kansas. She also tried to raid the treasury in her final days.

What these Cretans are trying to do is shout down to shut up the discussion before a supersaturation ding occurs, that being the government powers targeting a specific group of people for the purpose of preventing them from participating in government.

Which sounds a lot like a Poll Tax.

Its also around the definition of Hate Crime, and since the IRS is in this case under the authority to create business therefore employment, I'd throw discriminatory hiring practices at them as well.

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

#12  A very Pro Bama piece, Blame the repubs, whether or not they had anything to do with it.

#11  More proof in my mind that the government and media is beyond corrupt and can't be saved, only reformated.

#10  Yes, very nice insurance company indeed. How long since your last IRS audit ?

Enuf to make Tony Soprano blush Beav.

#9  Well Besoker here's what Kathleen thinks

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Tuesday defended fundraising calls she has made on behalf of a group promoting President Obama's healthcare law.

Sebelius also said she does not believe federal law would prevent her from raising money from entities her department regulates. She has avoided making those pitches on her own, she said.


Nice little insurance company you have there, be a shame if something happened to it.

#8  My guess [only a guess] is neither Holder or Champ will resign. Too much arrogance. A lot more scandal and festering must take place first, then possibly some 'wag the dog' diversionary event.

I'm awaiting the inevitable link between IRS employee annual bonuses and those who assisted the Tea Party monitoring effort. The Kathleen Sebelius Obamacare extortion racket should prove quite interesting as well.

#7  And in case they are so what? The question is not if Karl Rove and GOP are behind the scandal but if if Obama has acted like a Putin or a South American dictator.

The question is in case he has if he will be forced to resign like Nixon was forced to for far lesser a crime.

#6  I really have my doubts that Karl Rove would have the intelligence to be behind something like this.

#5  Swksvff, you are insulting Cretans by confusing them with cretins.

#4  ...and Marky Seagull is obviously from Crete.

#3  Now that is a diaper full of used pistachios.

#2  As long as Holder never sees a position on the Supreme Court or other high office, I have no problem at all with Rove.

#1  Of course they were - it was planned at the Bilderberg meeting three years ago...
