As Gabriel Malor points out in your link: at a minimum, the IRS’ sharing of confidential information about people with liberal groups is punishable by up to a year in jail, for each IRS employee who did it.

Despite the temper tantrums, and conspiracy theories being thrown out on this page and similar right-wing nut jobs sites, Obama’s approval ratings have remained untouched. Given that you are bat crazy I’m going to assume you believe that poll takers are also apart of some grand conspiracy to do whatever, but for those who don’t wear tinfoil or need to enhance our manhood with guns it is nevertheless amusing that Obama hasn’t been effected by your next round of conspiracy theories.
You see the public is immune to your craziness. From Obama’s a Muslim, to he’s not an American, to he’s a Marxist and now to the claims that he purposely allowed our ambassadors to be killed and his use of the IRS to “silence” the tea baggers no one buys you garbage anymore.

This is what is going to happen. You’re going to continue your temper tantrums on sites like this. The GOP will continue to obstruct the president as they have for the past four years. No meaningful legislation will get passed, but beyond that nothing is going to happen. You can throw your fits, dream about lynching the president, but your not going to gain any ground other then what you have right now.

So while nothing will get done for the next four years, and you’ll have the political victory of standing by terrorists and criminals being able to legally buy guns, I’m going to sit back and enjoy the fit of rage you nut jobs will express for the next four years because nothing will happen to Obama. It will be a lot of fun, second only to the fit you guys will throw should the SCOTUS throw out prop 8 and article 3 of DOMA.

In short: the very day after the president of the quite publicly anti-Tea Party labor union — the union for IRS employees — met with President Obama, the manager of the IRS “Determinations Unit Program agreed” to open a “Sensitive Case report on the Tea party cases.” As stated by the IG report.</blockquote?

Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?
Renault: I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here.
Employee of Rick’s: [hands Renault money] Your winnings, sir.
Renault: Oh, thank you very much. Everybody out at once!

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—President Obama used his weekly radio address on Saturday to reassure the American people that he has “played no role whatsoever” in the U.S. government over the past four years.

“Right now, many of you are angry at the government, and no one is angrier than I am,” he said. “Quite frankly, I am glad that I have had no involvement in such an organization.”

The President’s outrage only increased, he said, when he “recently became aware of a part of that government called the Department of Justice.”

“The more I learn about the activities of these individuals, the more certain I am that I would not want to be associated with them,” he said. “They sound like bad news.”

Mr. Obama closed his address by indicating that beginning next week he would enforce what he called a “zero tolerance policy on governing.”

“If I find that any members of my Administration have had any intimate knowledge of, or involvement in, the workings of the United States government, they will be dealt with accordingly,” he said.

It’s going to be up to Republicans to make sure the consequences are severe. They need to keep the pressure up and not get discouraged. Unlike a lot of scandals that involve a cover-up of some matter that might not be that significant in itself, the abusive use of the IRS goes completely against who were fundamentally are as Americans.

These scandals are not outlying corner cases anymore, it is what the Democratic Party is now about.

Right, and apparently, a majority of liberals are OK with it because the people being persecuted are people they have been conditioned to hate.

These scandals are not outlying corner cases anymore, it is what the Democratic Party is now about. The use of government departments to punish opponents is the very lifeblood of Chicago politics. The Democratic Party has a systemic problem. It has become rotten. It is totally and completely corrupt. I just don’t know if anyone has the power to fix this and return a once great party to its former place.

Of course we find pretty-sounding reasons to “justify” it. We’re implementing social justice. Or we’re protecting marriage. Regardless of the excuse, we’re not only stealing from each other, but lying to each other about our reasons why.

It’s theft. Plain and simple. Tax collectors are the thugs hired by thieves to do their dirty work. They have the guns of government at their disposal, so this is armed robbery.

In a truly moral world, there would be no way to prettify that.

This is very obviously a case where Hillary screwed up bigtime and the party as a whole is trying to protect her chances at a run in 2016. The problem is that nobody likes a weasel and she is coming across as a weasel. Of course, her weasel ways go all the way back to when she was fired from the Watergate investigation for lying and unethical activity. This was well before she was ducking “sniper fire” in Bosnia. Nope, probably not “illegal” at all unless she gets brought up for negligent homicide.

Was it illegal?

Falling back to the old liberal standby that legal = ethical?

No, it was not illegal to abandon four members of our foreign service to die at the hands of terrorists and take no action to defend or evacuate them earlier. No, it was not “illegal” to tell those in the CIA Annex on Benghazi not to help those at the consulate, which they did anyway and were able to evacuate several people out of the consulate compound back to the annex.

No, it probably isn’t even illegal to tell bald-faced lies to the American people or to lie to Congress when not under oath. None of that is “illegal” but it needs to see the light of day and be exposed for exactly what it is:

Slimy, underhanded, lying bastards.

Obama creates a bipartisan budget commission and ignores their results.

Obama creates a jobs commission, ignores it.

Obama’s pal Corzine steals millions from investors, never spends a single day in jail. In fact, Obama is on a pace to file a record low number of cases for financial fraud among modern Presidents.

Obama has so far charged more people under the espionage act than all Presidents in history combined. Several of these cases are legitimate whisleblowers using legitimate channels.

The Obama administration has shoveled literally billions of dollars into the pockets of politically connected investors through their various “green energy” and “green fuels” programs.

Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. Zero judicial experience, college socialist, basically appointed a political hack from his administration to the Supreme Court.

Fired Inspector General Walpin when he started investigating major supporter of Obama.

Authorized assassination of US citizen. First time in history by a US President.

Black Panther voter intimidation case.

For some reason had the 2010 US Census placed directly under the control of the White House for the first time in history.
