    C'mon people. Where's the outrage?

    Seriously, what would Obama have to do before you think he's done wrong?

    As long as it's his team doing so, apparently. I guess he'll be the first to be outraged if these tactics are used against him.

    Boy, you know if I posted something from, say, dailykos.com, which said that, say, Congressman Charles Rangel had written a letter that alleged some misdeed on the part of the Republicans, I'm pretty sure certain people here named PapaG, Denny Crane, and MarAzul would dismiss it out of hand as outrageous partisanship.

    So I don't do that. But, you know, I could, if the goal here is just to see who can spew the most bullshit.

    Well, the IRS has admitted to committing multiple felonies, and physical evidence supports high-level massive abuse of office at the direction of the Democratic Party and in collusion with the media to smear the Republican Party.

    Throw in every American's personal communications and amp up on gun control a tad more and you have the makings of a coup.

    Because of funding from Koches and other oligarchs (as designed by the conservative Supreme Court), there are many more groups on the right than on the left. (Notice how all that spending fails to win elections, because most Americans are strongly Democratic.)

    So when the IRS targets political groups a batch at a time, it's usually a batch of conservative groups, sometimes a batch of liberal ones months later.

    For example, notice the right-wing blog used in the OP. I could complain that a mainstream source couldn't be found. But this illustrates my point, the fact that most of the media, and auditable groups, are funded from the Right.

    If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops.

    I don't care about fairness. I care about conservatives being corralled, their outrageous power curtailed, their policies wiped from the earth, their women's wombs made barren, their earth salted, and their homes irradiated.

    But I'll settle for a little jiggery pokery around the IRS.

    This sounds illegal. I hope due process is followed, and those responsible find their court date.

    FWIW, I don't see this as any more outrageous than many things going on these days. I'd take powerlineblog with a grain of salt. It's certainly tilted to the right (to say the least).

    The IRS says that Lois Lerner's emails from 2009 to 2011 were lost due to a computer crash.

    I wonder what happens to a person being audited who uses that excuse.

    Felons.

    So what the computer "crashed", they should have about 42 copies of back up data for stuff that many year back.

    A special prosecutor need to be appointed to investigate and prosecute Obama.
