Over the past several weeks and months, it has come to the nation's attention that our DOJ might be fibbing. I find it funny how no one, not even many of the GOP politicians going on Fox and other network opinion shows almost nightly, have the guts to come out and call it like it is: that the Eric Holders, WH staffers (can you say Jay Carney) and the Obama's of the world are willing to lie and spin to achieve their progressive socialist agenda. It's just that simple.
So it appears the IRS has made tax-exempt status requests for ONLY Tea Party / conservative groups a tad <wink> more difficult to obtain for maybe 100s of conservative groups...and possibly hundreds more.
As the most powerful "non-partisan" agency in government, the IRS and its Cincinnati-based, allegedly low-level scapegoats appear to have taken sides. Adding to the "you have to be kidding" factor: Lois Lerner's ability to testify at her council's recommendation and take the "Fifth" all in the same breath.
SERIOUSLY, THIS HAS TO BE A SICK JOKE!
While the IRS scandal certainly made fundraising in 2011 and 2012 (who knows just when it all started) just a tad easier for Democrats and progressive left-wing ideologues who supported Obama, it was an egregiously and likely illegal tactic that we can only hope will haunt Secretary Timothy Geithner, Doug Shulman, that other acting IRS guy Steven Miller who just resigned, and Lois Lerner (currently on "PAID" leave) until the end of time (or their careers, whichever comes first).
To me, it remains kind of comical how mainstream media has become so uppity all of a sudden. They don't appear to mind so much the cover-up and mysteriously changing Benghazi talking points or how obliterating to liberty, not to mention illegal, oppressing those who differ in opinion can be. But boy, when it comes to spying on journalists and their parents and friends, watch out, the media wakes up! Sort of.
I suppose mainstream might wake up at some point. At this point, it's still a unknown. Who knows, maybe the ABC networks are trying to figure out how to smooth over the scandals with the "court of public opinion" on behalf of Obama yet again. Been done before. Or, maybe this internal attack on journalists will become a day of awakening for all media. While I have friends that are more cynical, I am still an optimist with the hope that "objective journalism" will make a comeback sometime before 2030.
Scandal and outrage, the underpinnings of today's soft tyranny movement, seem to remain on the radar — let's just pray the IRS, AP/Fox/CBS and Benghazi are more than just fleeting headlines for the families of those murdered who served this nation with honor and our entire country's sake.
