How did I get owned?

IRS ran by Obama, got investigated by the DOJ that also works for Obama, about violating the rights of people that dont agree with Obama.

And the conclusion is, that the people that work for Obama, did not violate the rights of those that dont agree with him.


The fix was in from day 1.

So far fuck all for evidence has been produced to support the assertion you made in the title of this thread regardless of who has done the investigating.

You are proof that you can't fix stupid.

You don't even understand basic concepts, and then get all worked up and slobbering, just like a good Fox News useful idiot.

One office of the IRS, tasked with screening tax exempt status applications, came up with a method of flagging tax exempt status applications. They flagged both conservative and liberal tax exempt status applications.

As it turns out, lunatic, there was no criminal wrongdoing. Instead, you get what happens in public and private bureaucracies: sub-par employee performance created by a flood of work in a short time period.

It's the same as a 24 hour fast food restaurant located within a 5 minute drive of a bunch of bars that gets slammed with orders out of nowhere in the middle of the night. The cooks start throwing patties on the grill, and dumping bags of fries into the fryers just to keep up. Their job description requires that they take their time with each and every order, but let's face it, they either take some short cuts, or people don't get their food.

In the IRS non-scandal, that is what happened. Political groups attempting to get tax exempt status were flagged. Again, both liberal, and conservative.

Answer me this, lunatic:

How many conservative groups were denied tax exempt status?

How many liberal groups were denied tax exempt status?

Hint: if you can't answer that question, you don't give one flying f-k about what actually happened, and you're just a glib, over-excited Fox News monkey, trained expertly in throwing its own shit at anything that moves...when you aren't busy rubbing it in your own hair.

There appears to be no evidence in support of the false thread title - that Obama ordered this. The title has been edited with a quote from foxnews related to this story. -Admin DrPizza

Lets see the DOJ, ran by Obama found that Tea Party groups were disproportional targeted, but came out with the slap on the wrist that this was all just bad management. The IRS used terms it shouldn't have to target conservative groups. The only thing the left wing DOJ couldnt find is 'intent'. It was just an accident that conservatives were routinely targeted.

Even better, the DOJ letter says that part of the reason these groups were targeted is because the people in the IRS was due to an 'ignorance' of how to apply the law. I'll have to try that excuse if I got pulled over, 'sorry officer I was ignorant of how to apply the speed limit law'. Lets see how well that excuse fly's.

The entire letter goes out of its way to claim how objective the investigation was, only someone with a guilty concession would put so much effort into pouring in so much bullshit.

But then again, its not surprising, the guy that wrote the letter was an Obama nominee.

Rigged investigation was rigged.

At this point and based entirely on the breadth of your very focused posting history, a rational person can only conclude that you are simply a racist idiot.

Yes, the very lack of criminal evidence is what makes it so obvious that criminal actions occurred!

And round and around we go!

It's always nice to get to make up your own reality.

Where have I heard/seen something similar in the last few days? Hmmmm....Gowdy opened Hillary's inquisition with a 13 minute monologue, explaining how impartial and objective the "investigation" was.

Wonder why Gowdy would put so much effort into what was obviously so much bullshit?

Well, yeh, of course. The total lack of evidence is just proof positive that the conspiracy was bigger than Righties imagined.

They've been Benghazied long before Benghazi was a twinkle in Mitt's eye.

Does anyone doubt that the Republican party will set up a "House Committee on IRS Targeting of Political Groups"? I mean, we had the FBI reporting 21 months ago that it had found no evidence of "enemy hunting" or any other criminal misconduct. And now we have the Justice Department reporting that it, too, has found no evidence of criminal misconduct.

But if two investigations find no misbehavior against right-wing groups, that means the misbehavior just HAS to have occurred. Because as Jhhnn pointed out above, a lack of evidence proves just how broad the conspiracy must be. This is the reasoning used to justify the creation of the House Committee on Benghazi, so how can it not be valid to use it again to start yet another investigation?

Sucks doesn't it? You've invested a year in this delusion. Must suck to see it come crashing down.

Indeed. I think it's admirable they let the title stand as it was written for as long as they did. Once proven to be untrue and a complete hunk of shit much like the OP he would never have the integrity to change it himself so they did the right thing. Baby boy needs to get over it and change his soiled pants.

You'd think that at one point, some of these assclowns would eventually understand that their handlers are outright lying to them.

But then, well, no you wouldn't.

Bengazhi is still real a Hillary plot against America! (despite lack of evidence)
The IRS is after my fellow Teabagger because Obama! (Despite lack of evidence)
the ACA is crippling the US economy and will destroy freedom (despite growing evidence to the contrary, and all unanimous economic forecasts)
Climate change is not true and a librul falsehood to end freedom! (Despite overwhelming evidence and unanimous global consensus)

This country is slipping into the realm of irrelevance simply due to the fact that half of our people live under the delusion that we are eternally great and can therefore do no wrong. Any mistakes we make are a fabrication, because we are infallible. THere is a stubborn refusal to fix real issues, because the US is perfect. Only "the others" are out to ruin us.

Hopefully, Michael1980 and his posse will submit to the mortal coil soon enough by feasting upon their sugary beverages and Krispy Kreme donuts, or stroking their guns while blasting their Lynryd Skynyrd.

Two organizations ran by people who owe their jobs to Obama investigated a third organization also ran by an Obama appointee and found no crime? Wow that's surprising.

Can you describe to us a situation in which the actions of the IRS could have been investigated where you would accept a determination that the IRS did not deliberately target conservative groups?

You know you keep asking this question, and the answer keeps being essentially the same, but I'll spell it out.

If the criteria for delays, and the evidence of delays (as a percentage of applicants), had included the names of all parties of significance in the USA then sure that would have meant they were routinizing everyone.

The phrases "Democratic Party", "Republican Party", "Green Party", "Libertarian Party", etc. You can find a full list here.

That is not what happened though. They singled out political activists for Israel and the Tea Party.

You also keep singling out the word "progressive". But all 7 of the groups with the word "progressive" were approved without any congressional pushing (100%). It took congressional inquiries to get them to start approving "Tea Party" applicants, before that only 1 out of over 100 applicants were languishing (1%).

But it's all legal now right. So if we get a Republican administration and they single out "Green Party" and "Social Democrats, USA" and sit on their applications for 3 - 4 years we'll hear no bitching from you correct?

You guys are a classic case of the old saying :

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

As I and others have mentioned you appear to have formed strong opinions on this without actually reading the evidence. Stop reading partisan media and read the DOJ report for yourself.

Simply repeating the same confused conspiracy theories does not help you. Oh, and nice nazi reference. Very objective of you.

There have already been at least three Congressional investigations: Issa's freak show, House Ways and Means, and a Senate investigation. (I may be forgetting others.) Clearly, that's not nearly enough. They need at least five more to achieve Benghazi absurdity.
