    At least he hasn't called me a liar 10 times in the last 2 days. Masbee smells like a rose compared to PapaG, a child who needs to get out of the diapers.

    You were caught in obvious lies regarding wars and Presidents. You're a liar. Take it up with the mods since you seem to have sand in your vag tonight. The posts are there, and your dishonesty and blatant lying are obvious. I knew it wouldn't take much to crack such a partisan shill, though, considering the relative mental capacity that went along with your posts.

    What is this mighty lie I told which requires you to keep using a fighting word?

    I toyed with Denny a couple of days ago, then returned to the board tonight and you're on the warpath. I don't even remember in which threads I played with him. I like Denny. You are a different breed from him.

    1 hour before you posted that, you were told off in another thread.

    You can't even write your own material.

    The all-seeing jlprk cannot be deceived.

    PapaG is but a mere mortal, ill-equipped for such artful warfare with words. He has been caught red-handed stealing weapons from his neighbor's armory, and the shame of his act will lay as a curse upon the houses of his descendants forevermore.

    Rachel Maddow's show was about this IRS scandal for the whole hour. I think she's scared of the precedent being set.

    Pelosi was on All In with Chris Hayes saying it was a huge scandal and that we needed to amend the constitution to rewrite the 1st amendment.

    The IRS is part of the Treasury Dept. The Treasury Dept is part of the executive branch. That President is responsible for the acts of the Treasury Department.

    The targeting of conservative groups was not done by one manager. Further, even if one of the managers involved was appointed by Bush, they have worked for Obama for 4+ years. As the head of the Department, President Obama should have long since released said manager from their duties if they weren't doing their job as the President wanted them to. For you to imply that this connection to Bush has any bearing on the situation is just silly.

    What I think is the administration and the left leaning media have conspired to make this story the 24/7 news cycle one. To distract from something else that has them all scared.

    Yeah, they should go back to letting fox and the conservatives make benganzi into a story to distract us from something else (oh, I don't know...working on improving the economy).

    You mean they're not done wrecking the economy yet?

    I don't know if Benghazi is necessarily THE story that has them afraid. Seems like a new scandal comes out every couple days recently. It's hard to believe the press has finally figured out they should do their jobs instead of being cheerleader and unpaid campaign PR firm.

    They're still unpaid campaign PR firms though.

    It'll be nice if the government realizes it has a job to do, instead of just coming up with crap to get bent over.

    these 'scandals' that come out just speak to a need to distract people, imho. Not that they aren't worthy of news, but we've turned everything into a major scandal today, and before you know it, when something ACTUALLY happens on the level of Watergate, we'll be like "ho hum.."

    So you're fine with the government bugging those AP journalists?

    A couple sentences on page C-34 of the newspaper? Or not even bother?

    http://www.aclu.org/technology-and-liberty/justice-department-secretly-subpoenas-ap-phone-records

    The following statement can be attributed to Ben Wizner, director of the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project:

    "Obtaining a broad range of telephone records in order to ferret out a government leaker is an unacceptable abuse of power. Freedom of the press is a pillar of our democracy, and that freedom often depends on confidential communications between reporters and their sources."

    Yet you support this Administration. Your crazy and idiotic alter ego that posts on here has at least a bit of crossover with me, in that there are areas where we value liberty. Obama is a fucking Fascist, even more than George W. Bush.

    Why would he try to have a conversation with you, somebody that can't even form logical, coherent thoughts or positions? Your contributions to threads are "unions are awesome"! And "pass the tinfoil hat", or "Republicans suck!" Yet you think other posters should mistake you for somebody with enough intellect to form reasonable thoughts? Good luck with that.

    No, not fine but I think it's an overreaction. On one hand the government is incompetent while the same time it's taking away rights. Occam's razor plays the same role under Obama s it did under bush.


    Oh noes, I'm blaming bush!?!1

    Look, I've been arguing that the comparisons to watergate are over the top in these cases. My suggestion that there's a flood of these "lesser" scandals all at once seems to be a smokescreen to distract us from something else.

    And government doing something is the worst thing imaginable. So I'm quite happy it's focused on these things. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Govt. has way too much power.

    How fucking dumb do you have to be to be this fucking dumb???

    I'll ask again, because I loathe reading this stuff on my phone, can someone give me a synopsis about this scandal and what crimes were committed and how Obama has anything to do with it
