| Obama set IRS against Tea Party |
| 2013-10-22 |
| Read the whole thing. It is classic 1st Amendment stuff, but our vaunted press won't touch it. Bastards. ItÂ’s past time for the media to begin asking President Obama tough questions about the IRS conservative targeting scandal. After all he was involved, publicly, from the beginning. Last Friday, the American Center for Law and Justice (where I serve as Chief Counsel) filed its Second Amended Complaint against the United States, the IRS, and a legion of IRS officials. This Complaint, in which we represent 41 organizations in 22 states, presents perhaps the most complete story yet of the IRS conservative targeting scandal. |

| #9 How is it the Left don't understand precidents and how bad things would be if the Evil Republicans were allowed to sick the IRS on their enemies. Heck they probably believe they eat babies so that would be an improvement. |

| #8 As I've said elsewhere, I would be much less concerned about the NSA revelations if it were not for the near-simultaneous IRS revelations. The fact that the NSA is spying on American citizens, coupled with the fact that the IRS is targeting regime "enemies", and that NSA shares its data is truly frightening. |

| #4 Most of these scandals end at his doorstep, but nothing will come of it. The first Kenyan president cannot be removed. |
