The Treasury Department’s Inspector General confirmed that he told senior Treasury officials in June of 2012, a full five months before Election Day: The Treasury Department’s inspector general told senior Treasury officials in June 2012 he was [...] Let’s do a quick recap on this IRS Scandal : 1. The IRS targeted over 470 conservative groups going back through 2 election cycles. They illegally required info about donors, members, volunteers, speakers, names of the people who attended any training (especially college and h.s. attendees), all social media, all emails, all media interactions.. and on and on… 2.

But Ingram has since left that part of the IRS and is now the director of the IRS’ Affordable Care Act office, the IRS [...] politico.com The Internal Revenue Service asked tea party groups to see donor rolls. It asked for printouts of Facebook posts. And it asked what books people were reading.

The review included interviews with groups or [...] Julian Bond, chairman emeritus of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), said Tuesday that he supports the Internal Revenue Service’s political targeting of Tea Party groups because “they are the Taliban wing of American politics.” And he doesn’t think the comparison is in any way unfair or over the top. Bond’s Taliban remarks were made in response to a question posed by MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/05/14/heres-why-this-ncaap-official-thinks-its-good-the-irs-targeted-tea-party-groups-hint-it-involves-the-taliban/ KMOV anchor: The IRS is targeting me Larry Conners, a veteran local news anchor at KMOV Channel 4 in St. Louis, says that the Internal Revenue Service has been targeting him since an April 2012 interview he conducted with President Obama — a fact that he dismissed as coincidence until the recent reportsabout the IRS targeting conservative groups. “Shortly after I did my April 2012 interview with President Obama, my wife, friends and some [...] When two storms collide, the weather gets hairy.

Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., as the “most feared government agency” – admitted Friday it targeted conservative and tea-party groups during last year’s election because of their politics. Bachmann, a former tax attorney, told WND in an interview the IRS admission means the credibility of the 2012 election is in doubt. Americans, she said, should be wondering whether Obamacare, which is to [...] Recent events suggest that the 44th president may not be immune to the phenomenon that historians call the “second-term curse.” Not four months after his ambitious inaugural address, President Obama finds himself struggling to move his legislative agenda through an unbudging Congress.

Pundits are pooh-poohing the plank in the GOP platform that calls for a commission to examine “possible ways to set a fixed value for the dollar,” declaring it a sop to Ron Paul supporters.
