(Updated) Remember all the reporting of the Issa-Cummings kerfuffle is to make you forget the IRS hearings

Cartoon update by Tony Branco

 

Democrats Unleash the IRS Tyrant   ... "The Democrat answer to the voter’s revolt is the IRS.  From now on, the IRS will openly suppress the conservative vote. 

" 'The White House is working to make permanent the IRS targeting of opposition groups before the 2014 election.  According to Kim Strassel of the Wall Street Journal, “Treasury appears to have reverse-engineered the carefully tailored rule—combing through the list of previously targeted tea party groups, compiling a list of their main activities and then restricting those functions.' ” ...

 

Texas's Ted Cruz offered an amendment to prohibit IRS employees from deliberately targeting individuals or groups based on political views. It was unanimously rejected by every member of the Democratic majority.

 

The IRS Outrage  "Behind the Obama administration's sham inquiry."

"The choice of Bosserman to lead the IRS investigation made headlines in January when it was revealed that the career DOJ lawyer had contributed thousands of dollars to Obama’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee. That obviously raised red flags with Republicans—Rep. Darrell Issa called it a “startling conflict of interest”—but perhaps the more important question was, why Bosserman?

 

“ 'It’s very odd,” one source familiar with the congressional investigation said of Bosserman’s selection for the job. “Out of 10,000 attorneys at the Department of Justice, why was she chosen?' ”

Legal Insurrection

 

Mona Charen; For Democrats, anyone who disagrees is a racist — even other Democrats.   "There is still some real racism in America. It is found among all racial groups, but is no less ugly for that. The false accusation of racism is just as despicable. Republicans have let Democrats get away with slander for too long."

 

Lerner Pleads 5th AGAIN--All Hell Breaks Loose!!   "...Lerner swears (again) to tell the whole truth and nothing but it, but as she's questioned about her IRS-led probe into conservative organizations, she pleads the fifth. Issa shuts down the hearing while Elijah Cummings (D-MD) tries to defend Lerner. Issa shuts off his mic and leaves the room. Cummings gets his mic back on and continues his defense of Lerner proclaiming that there was "no conspiring against conservative organizations" by Lerner's IRS. As Cummings spoke, Lerner appears breathless."  Watch it all here.
